I started a thread a few days ago asking people to talk me out of the HK45C, in favor of the much more sensible, economical Walther PPQ. I ended up purchasing the 45C, and today I finally got to break it in at the range with 200 rounds.
Know what? I still wish someone had talked me out of the 45C. Not because it's not an amazing gun, but because it is an amazing gun. I figured I'd be satisfied putting two to three hundred rounds through it a week; right now all I want to do is put another two hundred through it tomorrow. And then probably the next day. It stayed comfortable to shoot from start to finish, and at 5 and 7 yards, I was shooting one big hole, provided I took my time between shots, and at 10, I was definitely happy with my groups. Not bad for someone who was shooting about a foot low due to flinching with a .45 a week ago.
I did have one failure to feed, but I suspect it was my fault; the last two magazines of every box of 50 were being shot as 8 + 1, since I'd have two rounds left over otherwise, and I think when I was re-inserting the magazine after topping it off after chambering a round, I didn't get it seated all the way home. But hey, at least I got to practice my first tap-rack-bang.
Overall? Love the gun. And I'll continue loving it as long as I can keep myself under 1000 rounds of .45 a month or so. Otherwise, I'm going to get yelled at quite a lot. Starting to think it might be worth it though.
