I've had my HK45 since 2012 and it eats literally everything.

>Winchester White Box
>Winchester PDX
>Speer Gold Dot

My guess is it has too much lube. Did you wipe it down after you bought it? The krauts pack them with grease for shipping. I'm talking globs of grease in recesses of the slide and around the recoil spring.
Do you have a picture of the malfunction?
>>29440727
And blacks and Monkeys are from the same family but it doesnt mean blacks arent humans.
>>29440778
This is literally the worst retort I have ever read. You should seriously consider suicide. Just don't use steel case in your dads gun, wouldn't want it to jam.
>>29440637
Thats like putting cheap gas in a BMW.
>>29440637
>>Are HK45 pistols shit?
yes clearly, i mean what pistol can't shoot your swapmeet tier surplus ammo?
Only HK pistol worth owning is the mark 23

shitheads these days....
>>29440698
I won't even insult you... hk 45 is an evolution of the usp which is based off the mk23, apart from caliber and o-ring the barrel is pretty much the same design
>>29441078
HK springs are rated 30k rounds. says so in the manual, and by HK themselves.
>>29441107
Dont ever put the Mark 23 in the same category as the HK45
>>29441107
>usp which is based off the mk23
USP and MK23 were developed in parallel, the USP started development earlier in the 80's, the MK23 was an enlarged and strengthened USP to meet the OHWS tender, and while the MK23 was in development the USP came out on the commercial market first in 1993 in .40 S&W and 9mm versions.
the MK23 took another year for military deliveries to start after Phase II prototyping and came out on the commercial market in 1996 - after the USP. there are only a few parts in common with the USP most are enlarged or are closer to USP prototypes than commercial USPs.
>paying more money for the HK 45
>has pretty much the same ergos, literally just changed the rail and took away 1/6th of the capacity
>paying hundreds more for a lower capacity version of the same gun
>>29441112
yea, for a Mark23. Dont believe the bullshit, springs wear out quicker than manuf's claim, and there are also bad batches.
>>29441153
dont ever put squishy squishy in the same pic as a mk23.
I've had my USP .45 7 years now still going like a champ and it's my daily CC
>>29441214
Its not a FNXt just a FNX9. Also in my personal opinion its the best handgun on the market for the price.
>>29440821
Fukken truth
>>29441234
how long you had the TLR3 on there? I heard they can be quite fragile at the claw, and actually break more often than not, esp if overtightened.
Check if your TLR has a "V" in the serial, this is supposed to designate the newer fiberglass reinforced plastic used in the mold. iirc it was recent that the change occured, like 2013ish
>>29441238
>More than a G17, with less capacity and street cred when it comes to reliability.
fuck squishy squishy.
Fuck everything FN besides the SCAR17 and P90. Actually fuck them too, because those waffle niggers are some joos when it comes to pricing that shit.
>>29441214
no, for most HK pistols don't believe me either google it or directly ask HK's support line. the recoil spring life for normal pressure ammo is 30,000 rounds.
the MK23 is 30,000 rounds without any malfunction using 200gr +P+
>>29441265
I had mine on a 12 month tour in Afghanistan back in 2010 and still working fine today. Just had to paint it black to cover all the damage areas.
>>29441310
how tight did you tighten the screw?
>>29441290
>hammer
>decocker
These two put them ahead of a glock in my book. I also sell new Glock 17s for 565 including tax and the FNX is 600. So it isnt a huge price difference. Also the ergos on the FNX blow the glock out of the water, then again basically any gun priced over $300 blows the glock ergos out of the water.

>>hating on one of the best gun manufacturers in human history
really? what makes them "one of the best"?
most all of their designs are rip-offs of other proven designs. They poisoned JMB when he came to visit their factory so they wouldn't have to pay him royalties, because the hi power pistol design wasn't finalized by him.
>>29441401
nah, thats a TLR4, Im talkin about your USP light. Isnt that a TLR3?

Its nothing fancy and yet it STILL feels better than a fucking glock. What does that say about glock?

M249 - not available for commercial sales, known to be a steaming pile of shit in the field
M240 - not available for commercial sales
P90 - not available for commercial sales, PS90 is available, but what the fuck for???
SCAR - a decent rifle. still a ripoff of the AR18/G36
HI Power - JMB's pistol, FN killed him for it though.
No one even gave a fuck about FN until they outbid Colt for the M16A4 contract. The only thing you ever heard about them was their FiveseveN "cop killer" pistol.
Got anything else?

Broof a doodle doo
FN didn't take over Browning until 1977 dude.
Also, every gun /k/ creams their pants over was FN/Browning
Fuck, the FAL has its own threads. The FAL is exactly why people refer to 5.56x45 NATO Jr.
Battle rifle threads are basically people comparing SCARs and FALs.
Basically every firearm they've made has changed the way people look at firearms.

Great pistol. Make sure you dont have the "false reset" (out of spec) trigger bar. What is the two letter datecode? The Two-tone limited models are more desirable, however, the USP40C is a great piece. Dont buy into the whole LEM trigger or Match trigger or LEM Hybrid crap. If anything, the only thing you need to do is buy a V3 detent plate and turn your safety into just a decocker. Oh, and a protip, do NOT let the slide release touch the side of the slide when you reassemble it. You will never get rid of the scratch. It almost looks as bad as the circular scratch you can make with a slide release on a 1911. Honestly, if you wanted a .40 USP, you got the best one. A fullsize USP is best suited for 45, because you only gain 1 round from a USPC in 40.
>USP45 - 12rds
>USP45C - 8rds
>USP40 - 13rds
>USP40C - 12rds
>USP9 - lolwhothefuckcares, 9mm is for pussies - its actually 15 (lol, pisspoor capacity)
>USP9C - i wanna say 13?
USP45 and USP40C are the best options for the HK USP line in terms of firepower, any other config is just nerf'ing yourself.

i feel validated, thanks. Was $700 a fair price?
>>29441552
>FN didn't take over Browning until 1977 dude.
dont really care. the HI Power was never their design to begin with.
>Also, every gun /k/ creams their pants over was FN/Browning
Pretty sure its CZ75's and whatever poorfag shit has hit the market, such as VZ2008's and SCCY and RIA 1911s, dunno what era of /k/ you are referring to
>Fuck, the FAL has its own threads. The FAL is exactly why people refer to 5.56x45 NATO Jr.
literally never heard of it being called that. Havent seen a FAiL thread in quite some time, usually just lumped into /brg/, and seeing as there are no really good manuf's for a real FAL, most tend to be doge shit.
>Battle rifle threads are basically people comparing SCARs and FALs.
Are you a time traveller? or you new here? Its always Which PTR91 should I get or what AR10 is the best.
>Basically every firearm they've made has changed the way people look at firearms.
lolwut? your 'delusional FN fanboy' is showing....
>Even guns they didn't make, like ye AR, they've got the best fucking uppers for.
delusional fanboy status: Confirmed.
The actual stripped upper is made by about 8-10 different forges, FN does not make their own. The FN15A4 is no where near being a milspec rifle, and any info they gained from the US Govt TDP (which Colt actually owns/owned) cannot be used in commercial sales. So when you say your favorite company makes the best uppers, they are actually not milspec and are on par with basically any other no-name brand AR manufacturer out there. You would literally be better off buying a PSA upper than wasting the money on a fuckhueg FN lazermarked upper.
>>29441727
These are good memes.
Keep telling yourself that JMB was murdered though.
While you're at it, murder yurself plox.
>>29441566
it is just me or is just the grip grey and the rest black?
>>29441700
If it makes you happy, its priceless.
And from what I have see, yeah, thats about average.
I did, however, see a LNIB police trade-in for $650, so you didnt do too bad. You got a new gun. Only time they have ever been cheaper was when HK was gonna go bankrupt and had $100 mail-in rebates, but most of those are BD date codes.
The false reset thing has happened on and off over the years, so make sure you check it.
Basically, make sure unloaded. shoot and hold trigger, rack slide like a bullet went off, slowly let trigger out.
There should only be one audible tactile click and you should be able to drop the hammer again.
>>29441623
Not a single problem and battle tested, goodantight is just a smart ass way on saying nice and tight. Doesn't take much to keep it stable on the pistol.
>>29441750
>These are good memes.
nothing there was a meme, besides your stupidass 5.56x45 NATO Jr. comment.
but why am I wasting my breath? Delusional fanboys never listen to the truth anyway.
>>29441623
USP9 is 18 rounds with a jet funnel.
>>29441623
>>Lowest bidder wins - ever being a good thing
they meet the spec for the best price. if the spec is gold tiger stripe deagles, the person who delivers that for the cheapest wins. you can't win a bidding war selling cardboard.
>>29441777
The original price tag said 989.00, but it was on sale. I figured that was just a retail markup designed to make me feel like I was getting a deal.
I went ahead and checked the false reset thing, it's fine. Thanks for the tip, I don't know anyone who would have told me about that.
What h&k stuff have you owned?
>>29441803
>delusional
You literally think JMB was murdered by FN so they could buy his combat half a century later.
Also, I'm hardly an FN fanboy. I think they make some amazing shit, but I prefer to stay American with Sig or Ruger.
>>29441805
and a G19 is 33rds with an extendoclip
no one is talking about elephant foot mags. The 9mm is subpar in capacity when it comes to the USP. plain and simple.
>>29441828
>you can't win a bidding war selling cardboard.

>>29441843
2 weeks ago I sold a LNIB USP40 for $450, just to give you a reference point.

>>29442059
Yes owning a usp40 is way outside of my means
>>29442118
what is your opinion on the Mk23? too big to be suited for anything?
vs USP45T?
Good for pointing at your wrist for Photo ops while still loaded and in SA?
>>29442145
I own a pawn/gun store so I open carry it daily. But it's fuckhuge and uncomfortable as fuck I just carry it since it cost $1830 and that's too much for it to only be a target pistol IMO.
>>29442145
I carried one in Iraq.
Do you have tiny hands? This is not for you. It is a very big pistol. That said, being that big and heavy means that the recoil is nice and smooth and it's a tack driver of a design.
>>29440637
I have one and I seriously can't recall a single malfunction. Probably only have 800-1000 reds through it though.
>>29440933

>>29440637

>B-but muh HK no compromise reliability
>>29442236
>Do you have tiny hands?
nah, I was talkin about its length. There is not much difference in HK grip circumference between the USPC, USP and Mk23 according to their website. I tried one at the gunstore, but found it to be a bit front-heavy, which Im sure a fully loaded mag woulda evened it out, but the USP45T felt more balanced. I really want one, but that pricetag and big as a reading magazine size really just makes me think its gonna suck for anything useful. Ive heard custom kydex is really the only way to go for holster options, besides a dropleg.... Doesnt help the KAC can is almost as much as the fucking pistol itself, also.
>>29440637
I got to dry fire the HK45 and a USP9C at the gun store the other day. The USPs trigger us lightyears ahead of the HK45, would definitely choose the USP over it
>>29442530
you forgot to mention the reset on the HK45 is fuckin retarded long as well.
USP master race.
>>29442542
Word. I'll probably grab one on the used market. I need to work on the guns I already have though.
>>29441888
would love to get a USP in 45 or a compact. Problem is the only ones I've seen locally for under $700 are always beat to shit and rode hard. Still waiting but see my LGS can order them for $830. I will has one day soon...
>>29441480
USP is one of the few guns designed around a .40 rather than a retrofitted 9. If you're gonna shoot .40 the USP is debatably the best choice.
>>29442542
>>29442587
You would think that the HK45 would have a better trigger since 1911fag Larry Vickers had input on it. That and the P30's trigger are very disappointing for their price
>>29443506
That or a P229.
>>29441310
what rail adapter did you use for that USP? and what holster did it fit?

HK is still woefully behind the times in terms of magazine capacity. and this is coming from a guy who owns a USPc and MK23.
I'd agree with you if there were third-party options like Mec-Gar who offered 15rders for the USP, etc. but there aren't
>>29440637

I was looking at a HK45Ctac for my suppressor, but I think i'll end up getting an FNX45t squish
>>29441881
But the spec for MREs is cardboard.
>>29447981
It's actually my favorite out of all of the pistols I own I think. I strongly recommend giving it a try though I can see the FNX45t being great as well..first pistol I ever lusted after actually before I turned 21. I just purchased a threaded barrel for my 45c though and am looking at an osprey and damn its going to be tough waiting for it considering how sick it looks alone.
>>29448131
get the osprey before the new NFA rules come into effect! I just paid the tax stamp last week and got my trust info today
if the 45 or the 45C came with an optic cutout, i'd be on it like flies on shit, but right now I just want the gucciest of the gucci supressor guns
I think the slant at the nose of the gun is what makes my dick hard about the HK45.
>>29443506
>bear
The USP .40 Compact is arguably the best carry 40 compact period for this reason. It's my EDC and it's a joy to shoot
>>29447668
I think that has to do with the way the magazine tapers at the top. I think this magazine taper contributes to the fact that you can put 30k rounds through a mark 23 and never have a FTF
>>29448131
>RAL-3000 hk45c

>>29450978
I've been looking at it for a while, but I'm waiting on that until I get good at making kydex holsters
nobody makes IWB holsters for MK23 with the rail adapter
>>29451000
What holster do you use for your 23? I have a Kydex that a good friend of mine made but I know it is going to be hell on the finish over a long time.
>>29451071
Shtf Gear from amazon
Nigga it's got the hardened hostile environments finish, it should be fine
>>29451071
kydex holsters aren't really that bad for the finish themselves, it's the fact that grit wears off from the kydex plus grit and dust that gets in the holster rubs against the gun. it's like the media they use to clean brass for reloading, just dirt rubbing against your sweet h&k in that tight little pussy you call a holster. make sure you rinse out your holster every now and then with warm soapy water to get all the junk out.
plus, it's a weapon, wear is a sign of use. a well worn weapon is one that's been used. a weapon that's been used is a weapon that you are good at using. It's maturity.

Not bragging but an acquaintance (Special Forces officer) told me he owned an HK, and volunteered that that he owned 36 of them. So they must be good for him to be that much in love with one mfr. OP: is your HK well broken-in? Maybe you got the rare one that's slightly out of spec. Keep shooting it w/many types of rounds. If still headaches, return it for warranty work. Good luck.
