This awesome handgun has been proven to be as reliable as death and taxes and is made just down the road from me in Columbus, Georgia (Go Dawgs!). 45 ACP for carry or home defense, then it’s hard to argue with the specs or impressive reputation of the HK45 Tactical. If you’re looking for a full-size, duty-style. Thankfully, the HK45 enjoys a robust aftermarket. Of course, if you’re going to be using this for something like home defense, you should look into some self-illuminating sights for the extra peace of mind in case something goes bump in the night. I personally find them very accurate and I bet you will too. The sights on this gun are particularly great and are manufactured solely for HK. You also get a threaded barrel and Truglo suppressor-height fiber optic sights that work to capture all available light. The newer Tactical version keeps the same full-size frame and total reliability of that original gun, as well as the same basic ergonomic stylings including interchangeable backstraps, molded finger grooves, and a Picatinny rail upfront for mounting a light or laser. It was originally developed as part of the US military’s Joint Combat Pistol Program back in 2006 as a more tactical variant of the existing (and incredibly popular) HK45. 45 is one of the best guns we’ve tested in years. First up, we have our top choice, the HK45 Tactical.
