Is there any way to ccw the HK45

[Racine]

Yeah I'm using a Kimber Ultra Carry 2 but I jut got the HK45 a few days ago and cant find anything to holster it and its a bit big. I broke her in yesterday 500 rounds no hiccup 25yard shots decent groups not the best but better then I could have with the Kimber. Keep the info another thing how the hell do i get the extra grip on.

That's still a big pistol to be concealing. You can do it but probably under a large winter coat. I would worry a lot about printing something that big. I packed a PO P13 for about a year but the weight and size made me change. Do realize that on the rare occasion you get tangled in a shootout, you will probably have to surrender that nice HK for the investigation. Admittedly rare but you'll only get it back when it's all over. Another consideration is that bigger pistols for me have more of a tendency to hangup on winter clothing than smaller and dehorned pistols. Stay safe...

I have a Kramer IWB for a full size USP in 45 that accepts the new HK45 that plan to use for now. Hopefully the Compact will be out in April and I can go to it for the warmer weather.

It's not probable that the weapon will be seized (not surrendered), it's a certainty in a shooting.

However, I'm sure we all agree that we buy our pistols, HK and otherwise, with an eye to using them defensively. I personally will not be bothered one bit if I shoot someone with my Wilson Combat 1911 and it sits in the care of the PPD Firearms Identification Unit until I'm cleared. I bought the dang thing for performance in a life or death situation. So, seeing as I feel my life is worth the $2K-plus I've got in the gun, I view it as an investment in my personal well-being. I will simply be ecstatic that everything went well and I'm alive to order another gun.

I post this only because I've heard many people say they prefer to carry a brand X gun (typically cheaper, of lower quality, and a marginal performer at best) instead of another higher quality pistol because of the evidence issue.

I don't think it should be a consideration, but that's just me.

Back to how to carry the HK45, I really am a fan of the CTAC from Comp-Tac if concealment is important to you. It really does make even big pistols disappear.

Of course, successfully concealing any fighting handgun requires that you think about your wardrobe and possibly make some changes. For example, many people who prefer IWB carry buy the next larger size trousers. In my case, I drove my tailor crazy making specific alterations to my suits.

The moral is that large pistols can be concealed and comfortably carried in all weather conditions as long as you're willing to devote some thought and planning to it.
