HK45 Compact Tactical (HK45CT V1) DA/SA .45 ACP Pistol – German-Made 2010, Threaded Barrel, 8+1 Rd
The HK45 Compact Tactical takes the proven HK45 design and scales it down for easier carry while retaining full-size performance. This German-made 2010 “BA” date-code example features an extended, cold-hammer-forged barrel with left-hand metric threads, and the V1 DA/SA trigger with frame-mounted safety/decocker. Light handling marks aside, it remains in very good mechanical and cosmetic condition, offering a ready-to-suppress .45 ACP platform backed by HK’s reputation for reliability.

Built around a glass-fiber-reinforced polymer frame, the HK45CT keeps weight low while providing a MIL-STD-1913 rail for lights or lasers. The interchangeable backstrap system lets the shooter tailor grip circumference for optimal control.
The 4.57 in. barrel uses polygonal rifling and an O-ring lock-up to enhance accuracy and service life. The threaded barrel and the high-profile three-dot sights clear most common cans.
Ambidextrous slide stops and a paddle-style magazine release make this one of the few compact .45s that truly caters to left- or right-handed shooters. The V1 DA/SA trigger offers a smooth double-action first pull with a crisp single-action follow-up, while the frame-mounted safety/decocker supports both “cocked-and-locked” and traditional DA carry modes.
Proofed in Ulm and marked with German CIP eagle/N stamps, this early production HK45CT predates the later partial U.S. manufacture.
