H&K HK45 Compact.

Like the full size HK45, the HK45 Compact is one of Heckler & Koch’s most comtemporay pistols designs and was developed as a product improvement of the highly regarded and ultra reliable HK USP45 Compact first introduced in the 1990s. The HK45 Compact was also developed to be a candidate for the Joint Combat Pistol (JCP) and Combat Pistol (CP) programs administered by the U.S. military in their search for a new service handgun. In addition to the normal features found on the HK45 Compact, the colored frame /colored slide models have an attractive and durable Cerakote slide coating that is color matched to the polymer frame. Cerakote ceramic firearms coatings outperform other coatings and have been extensively tested by independent labs and the U.S. Military. Aside from corrsoion protection, the HK Cerakote slide coating is abrasion resistant. HK metal parts that are not color coated, remain in an attractive contrasting black finish, protected by HK’s proprietary “Hostile Enforcement” protective surface covering. Well-suited for personal defense use and a wide variety of security and civilian/commercial applications these colored frame /colored slide models are available in, or can be converted to, a wide variety of HK’s different trigger firing modes. Covered by Heckler & Koch’s limited lifetime warranty for commercial/civilian customers, the HK45 Compact is engineered with the famous long-term durability that make HK products especially cost-effective when subjected to total life cycle cost analysis. The Cerakote ceramic slide coating is the choice for marine environments and other environments subject to high humidity. Contrasting black finish metal components are protected by HK’s proprietary Hostile Environment coating. Operating principle recoil operated. Action Type: Browning type, modified linkless locking system.
