New poster here! I'm now part of the "HK owners" club!

I just picked up my HK45C. My brother has the full sized and after I shot it...I decided to get one of my own. I haven't shot it yet but I cleaned out all the packing grease. Strange thing is my frame says 'Columbus, GA' and 'Made in the USA.' The barrel has USA serial markings too (216-) but the barrel also has another marking starting with DE. I thought all the USA ones were made in NH. I registered it just fine though.

Now I want an HK45CT as a back up and home defense! Suppressors make it easy on the ears shooting indoors, but I'm not sure I could justify having one in an "off the property" SD situation. I read that HK is finally releasing them for the public vs the gov contract spill-overs and "homemade" ones. Does anyone know what they plan to release with it? Raised sights? Night sights? 10rnd mags? Maybe three of them?

Now I need a good holster for my new "toy." I want to take it to Front Sight so I need a holster that keeps its shape when empty but doesn't have a retention thing on the trigger guard. If it has a "hole" so the tactical version fits with threaded barrel, all the better!

Congrats and welcome to the club!! I have heard those are wonderful pistols and look forward to owning either the compact or full size version (or maybe both!) in the future! I have a USPc 45 and love it!! You are now a member of a great family that can has several knowledgable people that can help you if you ever need it!

Hi and welcome. The Hk45CT is already out and has an average price of $1200.00 +/-. I just bought about a week and a half ago. My Hk45CT is US made and I love it. I had several Hk45 & Hk45C pistols. I pieced a homemade CT (about 2 yrs ago) and it cost me approx. $1400+/- for:

Hk45C
factory TB
Heinie High Profile Sights

My NIB Hk45CT was $1,190.00 + $25 shipping

Thanks guys!

2ndAmendmentMason,
I looked at the USP45C. Almost got one instead because the dimensions on the HK site said it was slimmer.

GPD45,
What did your NIB one come with? Was it in the same black case? I saw a picture of one in a soft case somewhere. I wish I could find that picture again. Was it stamped GA or NH?

I think the USP is slimmer than the HK45 because it does not have the ambi slide release that the HK45 has.
