Best SHTF DA/SA 45
HK USP45, HK45, HK45c.

I had the USP, the grip was too large. I don't have an HK45 but I do have the HK45c and it is an excellent pistol. One thing that you should keep in mind is that the USP requires a light adaptor or the UTL light made by Insight. I also have a USP45c with the UTL light on it. I am not sure about the HK45, and I am not sure I can put a light on the HK45c without some kind of special manipulation. As I recall, I didn't have anything that fit.(Surefire X300, X400, and one of my Streamlight lights.)

The Streamlight TLR7 Sub pic rail model fits the HK45C.

The HK45 will fit anything basically.

I don’t own one but have shot a PX4 in .45 and it’s a sweet shooter. The whole PX4 line are great guns. If I could find one in .45 somewhat locally, it’ll be mine

I have a TLR-7X (not the Sub) on my 45c. It just requires a specific 3rd party key to mount. I think it cost me $7.

My preference in order is the Sig P220, USP Compact 45, last the Glock 30.

It is correct that the TL7 series will fit the 45c but as has been said required an aftermarket key. The TL7 Sub will fit the 45c out of the box/with factory hardware. Just wanted to be clear that the sub is “plug and play” so to speak.

Ogie,
If you want a picture of the sub attached just let me know.

On the list, the HK45 or HK USP. If you have not already rejected it then please consider the S&W 4506.

Thanks for the info again. I saw the Tlr-7 Sub on Amazon. I currently have the Tlr-8A G for my P30 SKS. I also have a Tlr-7 and that didn't fit the HK45c. I may have to pick up the sub. Good to know, thanks again!

Thank you everyone for the feedback. I'll be going with the HK45, what did it for me was the 50k round review at pistol-training.com. 50k rounds, only cleaned after every 7k rounds, and only one failure. expecting to make purchase in next couple weeks.
