- Review and breakdown (including how to change the backstrap) of a HK45. An awesome full size 45. Quality you would expect from an Heckler & Koch.

Super helpful. Probably buying this tomorrow
Awesome, it’s a great gun.
got mine "used" with 4 mags for $650. Swooped that shit right up. Love the trigger on this pistol. It's light and predictable. It's just huge. I don't like carrying it without jeans; it's like carrying a drill in your pocket. More of a backpack pistol lol. Oh, and the nightsights. Holy shit those sights are fire.
That’s an awesome deal and yeah it’s a beast of a gun.
Yes, Awesome weapon, my hk45 tectal, is best weapon i ever owned. For me, double action is loooog,but single is made in heaven an 25 to 30 dead ON. YES it's big for edc,but you want to go to gun fight with a Derringer or a real full-size Pistol, in the end ,oh yeah recoiled is like a 380 cal ,i own a lot of weapon an 3 1911 6in 45cal, the hk is so smooth. Too each it own.
Thanks for this great video review. I have the HK45 Tactical V7 LEM trigger on the way, it's shipping to my FFL tomorrow.
Nice! I’ve been thinking of having an LEM trigger installed in mine. I recently got the slide milled and an optic mounted which has been an awesome upgrade.
I got one and let me tell you it’s a evil monster and it talks at night and says don’t worry about a thing. Very accurate not hard to control I love shooting it more than the g 19.
Yeah it’s definitely one of my favorites.
I put 900 rounds through mine,zero failures before I sold it to a good friend.
No it's a good monster
Great video man! Just got a HK4CT v3 and I absolutely love it! Just wish I had enough ammo to celebrate.
Thanks and yeah, this ammo drought is rough.
@jorge vazquez I’ve never shot the compact, but agree that shooting 45 out of a beefier full size feels better.
@jorge vazquez nah, the only thing garbage on the HK45 Compact is the acessory rail. So short it's practically useless, very few lights fit it. For that reason the HK45 full size is the way to go.
Awesome video . I love mine . For me the trigger paddle mag release is one of my favorite features. The red mark on the top of the ejector pin is another . A quick look tells you if it's chambered or not without a press check. I wouldn't let the slide slam home like that without chambering a round on any hand gun , It could cause damage to the locking face . The round acts as a buffer .
Thanks, glad you liked it and thanks for the tip. I recently got the slide milled and mounted an optic, which has been an awesome upgrade.
It doesn’t hurt an HK to let the slid back in that any
If it hurts your gun , you need a better gun
Great video! Thank you
Thanks, glad you liked it
Nice review. Love shooting mine!
Thanks! You have some cool videos too. Just subscribed to your channel.
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors Subscribed you too! Thanks!
Where did you buy your night sights? Also which trijicon sights did you get. I also have this gun by the way. Thanks.
Just got one myself, didn’t realize how hard it is to find magazines.
Yeah it seems like most accessories and parts are hard to find right now.
Just got mine 👍🏾
Nice, enjoy it!
Awesome look at this pistol! New subscriber here. I have one of these on the way...wanted one for years. Hope to feature it some on my channel. Thanks for the great review!
Thanks! It’s a great gun, enjoy it!
Might have to get a custom holster made for the light
Safariland makes a drop holster that would fit the light that I might pick up.
I have noticed that some are made in the US and are made in Germany. The US ones don’t have the German proof marks on the slide. Correct me if I am wrong. I picked one for $650.00, 2 mags and the 2 back straps and extra O-rings plus the box. I use the small back strap on mine, it just feels comfortable and more natural to me. Mine has the luminescent sights, which I will be swapping those out for the Trijicon XD night sights. Has any one had a issue with US made ones?
Mine is also German made. Have not heard from anyone having a US made version and running into issues.
Very accurate and easy to hold... like my wife😂
Ba-dum-chh!
Heard good things about this sidearm. I like the features you pointed out save one: the takedown. Don’t like automatics that need the slide lined up whilst under pressure from the spring in order to push out a pin. Beretta 92’s Sig P220’s and the like don’t have this. Others might not mind it but for me it’s a dealbreaker.
Interesting. When I first got into shooting it was with HK’s that all breakdown like this, so I got used to it early on. I could see not liking it though if you’re used to guns that don’t need to be under pressure to breakdown.
I do like this a lot but i like the CZ 97B a little more
The CZ 97B looks pretty cool also. Have never shot it myself.
Also do you have the link for kydex paddle holster. Thanks
I got the holster years ago on HKParts. This one from BladeTech is the closest I could find on their site these days hkparts.net/product/hk45-owb-holster-right-p14956.htm
Looks like those Trijicon sights are sold out everywhere. Amazon restocks them frequently though and has a set with an orange outline on the front sight amzn.to/3u0ylBT
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors ty sir
i love mine, i got the tactical version with the lem trigger
Is the LEM trigger worth it? Been debating swapping out the stock one.
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors yes totally worth it. i have the v7 lem in mine. i was lucky to find mine with the trigger already in it from the facorty so i didnt pay extra for it. its insane how crisp the break is on the lem
the v7 kit is some where around 3lb trigger pull on the break but less then half a pound up to the break
@@astronautdolphindetective6908 good to know. Looks like I know what my next purchase will be!
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors right on. im slightly jelly yours is a made in germany model with the nicer finsh haha mines made in georgia and doesnt have that antler proof mark
@@astronautdolphindetective6908 HK’s are hawt wherever they come from :)
Nice Video! But you can try for the next time the Glock disassembly handle, than it's easier to disassembly the HK 45. Greetings from Germany.
Yeah we can do a breakdown video of a Glock if that would be helpful.
So funny story. I recently got one brand new. I thought huh I have a USP I know how this should come apart. Yeah I came here to look at disassembly because I could not get that slide stop out. Well lesson is 94 gun vs 2023 gun. Some parts move easier than others 😂
Lol, glad the video helped.
Safariland 6280 Holster Level ll midride , light compatible .
Yeah that’s what I ended up getting.

Lucky you, you have a German version.
Theres very few differences, no sacrifice to anything besides branding and dating
Aren’t they all German versions at heart?
I'm not complaining...love my US made HK45!
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors technically speaking yeah. I think only the slings and “lowers” are make in the us
Try Neptune concealment
Thanks for the heads up. I ended up getting a Safariland 6280 since I wanted a mid ride and I’d worked with the light I added. Also modded it to fit the optic I ended up mounting to this.
That is the sexiest gun i have ever seen. And i seen them all hahaha
Yeah it’s pretty great looking and it shoots as good as it looks.
@@UnprofessionalOutdoorsyou got me sold man! This is my next gun. looks super reliable and ergonomically. Is like if Glock and Sig had a baby name HK45
@@victorgarcia4145 lol yeah it’s very reliable and my favorite handgun. I also have a video on my holster and belt setup for it.
czcams.com/video/LujAqp15Ag8/video.html
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors yeah i immediately went to look for your video when you said you had a holster that would allow the light to fit in
Is this a German HK ???
I think so. The slide says "Made in Germany", but it is in English...
Take the magazine out before field strip lol, I’m stupid
This gun is crap compared to the hk usp 45. The usp 45 still and always will reign supreme over the whole hk family of pistols.
It's not crap. I have both. It has better ergos than usp45. It sits in the hand well and that translates to better, consistent shooting. It can ALSO fire a limited diet of 45 super just like the USP.
Fully agree that the ergonomics on the HK45 are nicer. I've shot a lot of USP's and I'll always have a soft spot for them, but I love this 45.
