About two years ago I bought a LNIB HK45 because I thought they were just the coolest thing since sliced bread. When the pistol arrived, I realized the damn thing was too big in my hands even with the small backstrap. The decocker/safety was uncomfortable because I don't have big enough hands to sit my thumb on top of it and it's right where my thumb wants to rest while shooting. Then I shot it once or twice and because of the grip size, I couldn't press the trigger without rubbing that trough in the trigger guard. That shit is painful. So the HK45 languished in my safe, I wanted so very much to like it but I just couldn't. Between then and now I got a job as a federal LEO and my issued pistol is the HK P2000 LEM in .40S&W. I took the top shooter award in my class and qualified expert with it. Then back at my duty station I earned the marksmanship citation with it. I very much like the pistol and the LEM trigger.
A light bulb went on in my head, the HK45C is almost identical to the P2000. So I sold the full size and ended up buying a barely used German made compact with 4 mags. It arrived Thursday and I took it to the range this morning. This sums up my feelings on the pistol -
It fits my hand, my finger doesn't rub the trigger guard and I am just as accurate with the 45C as I am the P2000. Perhaps even a tad bit more accurate. I got stuck on the 15 yard range and at 15 yards all shots were in one ragged hole, tight as a fist, in the dead center of the target. To say I'm thrilled with this pistol would be an understatement. The first thing on my list is to send it to HK to be converted to the LEM trigger. The second thing on my list is a threaded barrel... and then a trust, and a can.
