| How is the reliability of the HK45? Does there seem to be any weak points in the pistol? It seems like Glock gets a lot of attention for there reliability - would you consider this pistol at that level of reliability? |

It seems like Glock gets a lot of attention for there reliability - would you consider this pistol at that level of reliability? It'll run right up there with a Glock. Check this out.

Bought one back around 2001 and shot it quite a bit. Full size USP 45, had it maybe 3 months, and one of my friends who was LE needed a new duty weapon. The day I sold it to him, we took it to the range so that he could give it a whirl, and using Winchester WB FMJ, the son of a b%$&* malfunctioned at least 6 or 7 times when halfway through the mag. Factory mags to boot.
He still bought it, but in excellent condition I let it go for $350 with 5 factory mags. WTF was I thinking? |

I've had my HK 45 for about a year now. The only issues I've had was the slide would not lock back on my light SWC handloads (200 grain jacketed SWC @ 780 fps) when it was new. Now it works 100% with all loads.
I traded in a Glock 30 for my HK 45 because the Glock would not cycle at all with the SWC loads.

Bought a new one yesterday actually. After 100 rds through the gun it performs amazing and I love the gun. But I do have a problem with the trigger not resetting all the way on a slow release of the trigger. It simply doesn't return all the way forward. Sent it back to HK to fix.
Fairly new to this site but have a lot of experience with different guns. Overall, the HK45 is definitely one of my favs minus the small hiccup. |

Please keep us posted on what HK says about that issue. I had it happen once and I just gave it a good lube. It hasn't happened since. |

Yep, I thought that some more lube and plenty of dry firing to break in the trigger, etc....would help but it never was quite perfect so I sent it back to see what they say. |

| Mine is good to go now, the first 150 rounds I had a lot of problems with the slide not locking back after the last round. Really pissed me off because it happened 90% of the time on 3 different range sessions. After talking about it on this forum and others, I realized I might be limp wristing it and held it a little tighter, another 200 rounds down the pipe it hasn't done it again. Totally reliable now and I love it. |
