I'm looking forward to seeing the difference between this compact and my P220 .45.

Of note: the store was eerily empty of new rifles, shotguns and carbines, of all calibers and "assault" flavors. They are selling ammo under a single box per caliber per day per customer rule. The knife case, reloading shelves, survival goodies racks and hand gun cases are either empty or sparsely populated at best.

Can't go wrong.

I concur. Just be careful, as they tend to fire every time one pulls the trigger.

lol Yeah, and you have to get your barrel bushing re-fitted every few hundred rounds, and bend your mainspring into the right shape when it starts acting up, and keep an eye on your lugs and recesses for wear...wait...what?

Don't get me wrong, I love a 1911. I love a '58 panhead, too. But the HK 45 is just about flawless.

Ive got that impression from positive feedback on many different levels. The only difficult thing right now is finding rounds to feed her with.

Load your own.

That could be a problem if you haven't all ready started and have the correct components. As well as ammo, there are no powder or primers to be found currently

That's exactly where I'm at. I am not set up for this. The local range (Shooters) will sell you 1 box per caliber per day. That works just fine for me and prevents me from shooting up my 'stockpile' .

I took the new HK out yesterday and put 150 rounds through her. Coming from a SIG P220 in .45 (which I loved) to this HK45C was a pleasant surprise. After I got back from the range, I deep cleaned my SIG and put her away. I love her but this HK is definitely a better gun.
