Heckler & Koch HK45C Compact V1 .45 ACP Pistol

The HK45C Compact: Serious .45 Power in a Manageable Package

The Heckler & Koch HK45C Compact delivers the stopping power of .45 ACP in a frame designed for shooters who demand both control and capability. This is a purpose-built defensive pistol that doesn't compromise on the fundamentals.

Design and Engineering

The HK45C uses HK's proprietary O-ring barrel system, which ensures precise barrel-to-slide lockup for consistent accuracy. The slim-line grip profile makes this compact pistol genuinely controllable, even for shooters with smaller hands, while maintaining the full-power .45 ACP cartridge.

Controls and Ergonomics

Ambidextrous Operation: The frame-mounted control lever (safety/decocking) is quickly accessible with a positive stop that returns to the fire position after decocking. The lever can be switched from left to right side, or mounted on both sides for true ambidextrous operation (additional parts required).

Custom Fit: Includes an extra backstrap so you can dial in the grip that works best for your hand.
