Hi,

Thinking of buying an HK45c with the light LEM trigger. Anyone out there own one that regret's it? If so, why? Thinking of replaing in my Springfield XD45C with custom trigger job for one. Thanks

I made the switch from an XD to a USP compact years ago. Have been a die hard HK guy ever since. You won't regret it. However, the only thing about the 45c that would dissuade me is the laughable 8 round capacity (or 10 rounds with the gaudy elephant boot).

Yeah, that's one thing I'm not crazy about. Having to give up two rounds for a gun that is slightly larger. 10 rd mag is the most I can legally carry her in NY anyway though. Thanks

If 10 is your limit I would opt for the HK45 rather than the compact. Or perhaps a P2000sk, but I'm pretty sure carry won't be an option for you.

Thanks, no way do I want to carry a fullsize HK and I want to stick with the .45acp. I also have a XD40sc. Thanks

HK45/c for the win.

If I had to give up all my handguns and could only keep one, it would be my HK45C.

Agreed.

Agreed.

X2.

I regret going through so many other guns to get to this one. I wish I could have the money back in what I lost, had I just stuck with this in the first place.

Thanks for the responses guys. Just ordered from Mike at Cross Creek an HK45c Light LEM. He said about two weeks delivery time. Can't wait! Now it's time to sell my XD45c!

8 round mag capacity...

I am just getting to know the 45 C but so far am really impressed! Much better than most!
Enjoy while you can!:62:

I must be the only person that hasn't fallen in love with it even though I've tried to. I always feel like the grip texture is too slippery. Other than that I think it's great. I could stipple it but that would kind of defeat the point. I've been kicking around the idea of trading it off for a USPc stainless or an HK45 to replace the one I should have never traded off.

8 round mag capacity...

But the great thing with the HK45 Compact is, you can always make it bigger by adding the 10-round magazine with cancerous growth. You cannot make the HK45 smaller. The HK45 Compact is far more versatile and IMO, a better weapon than the full size.

 

[burtontester]

love my HK .45C light LEM. Also love my full size HK .45 light lem. I also agree that if I kept one, it would be the C.

 

[Ohio1425]

Very satisfied, just wish it had the same grip as the P30....other than that, it's a great pistol.

I agree 100%

8 round mag capacity...

Why is the 8 round mag capacity a problem. Most 1911's only carry 7 or 8 rounds. It's a compact .45, I find 8 rounds in a compact .45 pleasing.
