Review: HK45 Tactical 

I EDC an hk45ct, ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! .... ALTHOUGH, I'd argue that the HK mark 23 has the title of "best pistol in the world"....but we can definitely agree HK is hands down without question THE BEST FIREARMS MANUFACTURER IN THE WORLD!!! FOR SURE

parodox of the usp it's actually better to be left-handed because controls don't get in a way of your grip

"sore-ee"

The LEM may be the way to go out of the box, but after Gray Guns takes it in and reworks the internals and drops the reset by 40% then puts a nickel finish on the internals the DA/SA becomes superior. Also, swapping between Sig P226/P229 DA/SA it’s nice to have the same trigger function.

@@Critical-Defense all those same upgrades can be done to the LEM variants

I believe I did correct myself on the screen. -Corey

Not to get pedantic but technically it depends upon what your are measuring for decibels. You have loudness which is basically for every increase in 10 dB level, the sound is perceived as twice as LOUD as the single occurrence. Meaning that for every 10 levels, the loudness is ten fold. So if you have a single typewriter that measured a loudness of 50dB, 10 typewriters would by measured at 60dB and 100 typewriters would be measured at 70dB. The other aspect you have is power which is what actually damages your ears. Most sound meters that people use to measure suppressors, measure the pressure wave or power of the sound emitted and not the loudness or tone. Decibel power measurements have a completely different logarithmic scale than that of the "loudness" scale. That power scale is more like for every increase in 2dB, the sound wave has double the power. Read these pages to get a better understanding of how decibels are scaled and measured.

I carry mine on occasion. Not ideal but it can be done without too much fuss.

Same here. How do you dress with it? I just use a loose-fitting plaid shirt.

Usually any oversized shirt with a inside/outside waistband NEXT Holster. Next holsters actually special made me a holster to shield the threaded barrel. Good folks

I've seen some videos of Filipinos making 1911s all by hand, without power tool. And honestly they looked just as good if not better than some factory production guns.

So do South Americans, from what I hear.

TheFilipinoKnight you know , I swear I've heard that before . possible an episode of forgotten weapons 🤔🤔but I can't remember.

It’s quite true. Caliber debates are very heated in the Philippine gun community. The military especially is such a firm believer in 45. They call the 9mm “the police caliber” and say you use it if you don’t want to kill. Official sidearm as of last year was the 1911 and only just recently got replaced by the Glock 17. But if you talk to marines and special forces they almost always carry 1911s in 45. They claim it’s more effective in the field.

Ignorant

Lol suppressors don’t work as well as you think

U-Haul time, good buddy. I hear Texas is nice.

The HK45 was supposed to be like a modernized single 1911 so the 10 round capacity makes sense. It makes the grip much nicer.

The Hk45 is considerably larger

the HK45 is basically a USP 45 designed for US Special Ops, it was made more ergonomically and with several other small features to make it more modern. Its safe to think of the HK45 as the gap between the P30 and the USP.

AmbidexTRUous

I'll let you know in 2-4 weeks about my Valknut IWB holster fitted for an HK45 V1 (DA/SA with control lever) with an X300U or X300 Turbo (same dimensions). I ordered it from Odin Holsters. They accommodate Tactical models as well if you ask for the open-ended holster and suppressor-height sight options (free). They have OWB holsters, too.

@@45calibermedic Awesome! I've bought the Blackhawk Omnivore in the meantime. As soon as my X300 arrives, I'll get to testing it as well :)

I absolutely should have included that - it's probably just personal bias, but I hate DA triggers in general. It comes from my military days trying to qual with the M9. I avoid it any chance I get. Next time. - Corey

Ahh its no biggie im rather fond of DA/SA's.....by way to the Beretta 92

How? Because you're as cucked as Canada? *Big think*

alexg36c on the Hk45 it does come all the way out like on a USP

Oh okay I found its strange that its not like the p30 since its ambidextrous. But I guess I learn something new everyday

Excalibur01 actually it’s more limited, the USP has a 12 round capacity.

Even more so

The USP is much bigger, however. The USP Tactical is stupid bigger. The Mk23 is "omg lol, are you kidding me" bigger. - Corey

TFB TV HK handguns like those are dream guns for me and I'd love to own a couple of them one day. Still, I've always been kind of stumped over how they managed to make the Mk23 nearly the size of a Desert Eagle, yet only cram 12 rounds into it. Even the Para P14-45 had better capacity and was just a slightly thicker 1911. It seems to me like the Mk23 should've held at least as much ammo.

That would be the MK23.

In order to avoid blowing out your speakers, we "normalize" the audio (remove the sound spikes), so there's really not much you can tell from a RU-vid video, unfortunately. :/ - Corey

Now i understand, thank you for answear Corey

adolfhilter huge!!!!! Need suspenders to edc that damn thing

Swap barrel

Looks like a Knight's Armament, built for the Mark 23 and USP 45. It's old design.

Dilly Dilly!

Perhaps you'd like to educate us all where I went wrong, xw4? - Corey

I will help showcase your shortcomings in the review. 1. You didn’t research why it has reverse threads 2. Your knowledge of HK pistols is severely lacking making you look ignorant. 3. You have no knowledge of the LEM trigger and why it is superior. 4. You didn’t recognize that the recoil system is taken from a USP compact. 5. You failed to mention it’s main competitor, the FNH .45 tactical, which is cheaper and does a better job at bringing the same features to the trials. 6. Your shooting sucks. 7. The fact the the right side lever falls off is not cool, it’s stupid because it’s something to loose in the field. 8. You didn’t mention how any of the developments that HK made to this pistol spilled over into following designs such as the p30. In short, you have to admit it was a very lackluster review. Amateur at best, comical at worst.

Kingwiththeax But tell me how you really feel King. -Miles

Kingwiththeax I disagree with you on #3 and #7, but I won't argue with the rest. Lol. -Corey
