About HK Compact Tactical
The HK45 Compact Tactical builds on the tough, military lineage of the Heckler & Koch HK45 series of handguns to devise the ultimate operators pistol. The HK45 pistol series (compact and full-size models) were chosen as the first firearms made at HKs American manufacturing facility so it is only fitting that a modified variant would be adopted as the new pistol of a major U.S. special operations unit. The HK45 Compact Tactical (CT) is the closest a civilian can get to that military pistol. The HK45 CT comes standard with a threaded barrel, 10-round magazine with extended floorplate, and replaceable grip panels to adjust the feel and grip circumference of the pistol to suit individual hand size and shooting preferences. The HK45 pistol series were originally developed as candidates for the U.S. militarys next generation handgun competition so there is little wonder that the HK45 CT is so well-suited for military, law enforcement, and security use. Each HK45 CT comes standard with an extra backstrap for a custom fit for each shooters hand. An HK proprietary internal mechanical recoil reduction system reduces the recoil forces affecting the weapon and shooter by as much as 30%, improving shooter control during rapid firing and prolonging component service life. An O-ring barrel means better slide-to-barrel lockup and enhanced accuracy. And the threaded barrel on the HK45 CT is made using the famous HK cold-hammer forging process for superior performance. The HK45 Compact Tactical uses all HK45 magazines, from 10-rounders to the smaller capacity 8-round magazine. A Picatinny MIL-STD-1913 rail for mounting lights and accessories is molded into the polymer frame of the HK45 Compact Tactical. The HK45 Compact Tactical is currently available with a decock only (V3) control lever mode found on its special operations counterpart or with a decock and manual safety (V1) control lever function. The HK45 CT can also be converted to a variety of other kinds of trigger firing modes including HKs enhanced double action only LEM (Law Enforcement Modification) mode. The HK45 CT is currently being assembled at HKs American manufacturing facility in Newington, New Hampshire.

I’m very happy with this pistol. It’s a pretty soft shooter and appears to be extremely accurate. It also has the reputation of being extremely durable and though I only have 500 rounds through it ( with a multitude of ammunition including +p), I believe

This is the best all round 45 you can buy. Has similar characteristics of a 1911 in a smaller, lighter and more versatile package. Has the capacity of a full size 1911 but is the size of a small frame 1911. With the extended 10 round mags it’s about the s
