Saw an update on the HK45 full-size. On M4Carbine.net, Larry Vickers says that H&K overlooked a few things, near the end of the project when he was not involved. Guys who plan to get the full-size might want to check this out.

Here's his summary:

http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=13580

"The problem area involves the trigger guard/mag release/trigger overtravel area - there is some excessive overtravel which magnifies the fact that some edges and corners inside the trigger guard and the L shaped mag catch bite the trigger finger when you shoot the pistol - this affects approx 75% of the people who shoot the weapon; same goes for the HK P30 except it is not as bad with a 9mm vs a .45 - the HK 45 Compact is not really a problem as it was left in the same configuration as the prototype HK 45's with a P2000 style frame (which all things considered I wish the full size had been left alone but then again that is another story also....)"

Vickers goes on to say that he still believes in the HK45 as much as ever, and that David Bowie of Bowie Tactical Concepts bowietacticalconceptscom can do some mods for about $100 that resolve the issue.
