H&K+45

The H&K 45 is a new pistol designed to meet the needs for special forces units. It takes the power of its predecessor, the Mark 23 Mod 0, and makes it into a more compact, viable firearm. Now the Mark 23 is still used present day because of its excellent performance, but there is just one downfall to this excellent weapon system, size. Measuring in at just under a foot and a half with an attached suppressor it is a large firearm especially considering its intended use as a secondary weapon. But with its .45 caliber round it delivers a big punch that will eliminate your enemies with ease, and so it was deemed an offensive pistol due to size and stopping power. Now in tandem with Larry Vickers, an ex-Delta force operator, Heckler and Koch made vast improvements from the previous Mark 23 and a close relative the USP. Although a main concern was size there were also other design needs that needed to be met. One of the other stressed points was ergonomics. The new grip allows you to customize the backstraps to better fit your hand allowing the user better control over his weapon system. With the reduced size the operator is able to draw his weapon faster and be ready to shoot quicker than if he had say a Mark 23. Now just because of its compact size does not mean it lacks the stopping power of previous weapons. Still delivering a .45 caliber round into your enemy it maintains performance of its predecessors but with improvements to not only the look and feel, but also how user friendly and ergonomic it became.
