Official Crimefile Pistol Review Of The HK 45 in .45 ACP

Click on picture to enlarge!


Chicago, IL—Where else should I review a pistol but where they’re outlawed in the Windy City. When you’re in Chi-Town you’ve got to remember the cops are demoralized, outgunned and undermanned. Chicago’s draconian gun laws have established that local thugs have guns and are in control. That’s the sad situation while the law-abiding folks are sitting ducks, waiting for victimization.

In Chicago you need a gun that means business so why settle for anything less than a full size .45? If you’re going to pack a .45 it should be user friendly, and engineered to neutralize the recoil.

Most self-defense shootings happen in low light so night sights are important. Another consideration is that you may have multiple assailants and magazine capacity becomes critical. The HK 45 in .45 ACP has what you need.

Next, the heft, weight and feel of your pistol are important. Personally I have a fondness for the 1911, and the Sig P220 pistols. I’m not enamored with the Glock 21because of the trigger engineering. The full size HK 45 model weighs in at just under, 31 ounces.

Price is my least concern when it comes to survival I know I’m worth whatever I must pay to have the best. Of course spending money on fine guns is no substitute for adequate training and regular practice. To survive an armed confrontation you need, skill, a reliable firearm and luck.

I was never a real fan of the HK USP models that were lesser evolved products than the HK 45. This gun was to compete for a replacement military sidearm because decades later the Beretta 92F, 9MM pistols are far too lame for combat duty. The government canceled the project but HK had their entry ready to go.

The HK 45 is a superior product in every detail. The one I tested is the full sized model but there is a compact model too. The pistol can be modified by the owner to double action only that has been required by so many law enforcement agencies. This also comes with an accessory rail for tactical lights and Lazar sights.

The owner has the ability to configure the grip with a second choice of grip panel. All hands were not made equal so HK provided some help in this area.

If you live in one of the many, liberty loving states that allow silencers you can purchase an additional barrel threaded for the suppressor. Also available is a set of high profile sights that will rise above the larger diameter of your silencer. Why contribute to noise pollution and disturb your neighbors?

The standard magazine holds 10 rounds but seems to invite yet an additional round. Over stuffing the magazine with an additional round is asking for trouble since it will affect the gun’s reliability.

Shooting this gem is a pleasure. The trigger is so smooth and the let-off is really crisp. The recoil is incredibly manageable compared to other similar pistols. My overall rating for this product is absolutely magnificent.

Me likee HK products,expensive,well yes.But how much of a price tag can you put on your life?

Im still partial to my P7PSP in 9mm,although I prefer to have a .45acp whenever feasible.I just like the P7s compactness and unique squeeeze cocker.

I will have to look at the HK45,you can never have too many pistols.

The illegal invaders are ramping up the violence with torches and arson. http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/localnews/ci_15006740

Nice pistol, Paul but I'd recommend you keep an M1A and at least 400 rounds within reach these days.

Open carry your illegal HK91 in Los Angeles County and see how fast SWAT guns you down, eh? heh heh

Chicago Cops Slammed with Sudden Ban on the Sig/Sauer P320—And the Officers Will Pay thePrice

In a move that’s rocking the rank and file, the Chicago Police Department has abruptly banned the use of the once-trusted Sig/Sauer P320 pistol as an authorized duty weapon. The order came down swiftly, leaving thousands of officers scrambling. The official reason? Alarming reports that the weapon can fire without the trigger being pulled. For years now the gun-maker has brushed off horror stories about negligent discharges, usually blaming human error. After all, it’s easier to blame the gun than admit to a deadly mistake. Just think back to Alec Baldwin’s tragic shooting on a New Mexico movie set—he insisted he never pulled the trigger, yet a woman lost her life. But experts were quick to point out that the revolver in question simply doesn’t fire on its own. This, however, isn’t Hollywood. The Sig Sauer P320 has a documented pattern of discharges—many occurring while holstered. Lawsuits are piling up, and the manufacturer continues to deny fault, but the incidents are too numerou...

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
