So i never thought the day would come but im finally moving away from 1911s and looking to purchase my first non-1911 45acp platform. I was set on the G30 but then i was finally able to locate an HK dealer close by and stopped by yesterday.
I handled the HK45c and the USP45c... no comparison, HK45c was made for my hand. Glock, M&P and XDM just dont offer the comfort when holding and other features that stand out with the HK45c.
Being that i want this firearm to function in tactical classes/training my main concern is to do with the sights. What sight options do i have should i want the ability to "one-handed" rack the slide? The novak style sights that come standard on the gun are nice, as well as glow pretty brightly from what i can tell, but there seems to be no way to manipulate the slide with one hand in its current setup. The USP series does offer a "better" setup but the overall blockiness and thickness of the firearm turned me off as soon as i noticed the alternative that was available.
Should i buy an HK45c, i'll be using it for CCW as well... am i correct in assumign that crossbreed as well as Milt Sparks can accomodate my holster needs? Any recommendations for or against either brand? I use both for 1911 carry and am very pleased with the results.
I just need to get rid of my Springfield Gunsite Compact Service Pistol now and i'll be able to go pick up the HK...
I think i can get use to hanging around this place!
