HK 45
The Heckler & Koch HK45 - Revolutionary
The HK45 was developed to meet the needs of the most distinguished, elite U.S. military operators.
The HK45 is available in any one of the 10, HK specific variants, including the double-action and single-action Law Enforcement Modification known as the LEM. Left, right and ambidextrous control levers provide safety and/or de-cocking functions and can be fitted to the pistol by simply changing parts.
A unique, internal mechanical recoil reduction system reduces the recoil forces imparted to the weapon and shooter by as much as 30%, improving shooter control during rapid firing.
The HK45 combines the accuracy, modularity, reliability and extended service
life that you have come to expect from a company that prides itself for
their “No Compromise” slogan. Both models can be fitted with threaded
barrels for use with sound suppressors.
Some of the numerous features of the HK45:
- Ergonomical grip profiles
- Replaceable backstraps
- Integrated Picatinny rail molded into the polymer frame dust cover
- Enlarged ambidextrous magazine levers
- Improved ergonomic control levers (safety and/or decocking)
- Low-profile, drift adjustable, 3-dot sight
- Contoured and radiused slide with forward grasping grooves
- Ambidextrous slide release
