Heckler & Koch HK45

Heckler & Koch HK45 - .45 ACP

Heckler & Koch HK45 with sanded and worn down to look very old - .45 ACP

The HK45 was Heckler & Koch's entry into the U.S. Military Joint Combat Pistol Program. The trials held between 2005 and 2006 were for a .45 ACP handgun that could replace the U.S. M9 (which is chambered in 9mm). Despite the fact that the US Military Joint Combat Pistol Program was suspended indefinitely in the Fall of 2006, Heckler & Koch decided to sell the handgun to the American Police and Civilian market. The HK45 is a .45 ACP pistol derived from the HK USP, the P2000, and the ill-fated HK1911 program. It has a new grip designed to sit lower in the hand (a problem with the USP was it sat too high) and a M1911 style safety. It holds 10+1 rounds of .45 ACP.
