I believe this pistol was designed for the US Joint Combat Pistol (JCP) cooperative project between the US Army and USSOCOM to find a .45 replacement for the M9. Like most US procurement projects it went nowhere. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 17:03, 17 November 2011 (CST) | I believe this pistol was designed for the US Joint Combat Pistol (JCP) cooperative project between the US Army and USSOCOM to find a .45 replacement for the M9.

I know the SEALs started using the P226 because they didn't like the Mk. 23 but I could have sworn that I'd read somewhere that HK decided to try and resolve all the issues with the Mk. 23 and the HK45 was the product of that decision. Although as Commando552 mentioned about the JCP program I'm starting to think that I might be mixing up the two programs. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 18:16, 17 November 2011 (CST) | |||

P30?
What, exactly, is the difference between this gun, and the HK P30?
The p30 comeschambered in 9mm or 40 S&W. It's also lighter and smaller than the HK45. It's basically a little brother designed for law enforcement applications whereas the HK45 is designed from the ground up to be a combat orientated pistol. -burgershot621
Wasn't this designed for the Navy SEALs in response to them hating the MK 23 SOCOM? --cool-breeze 14:43, 17 November 2011 (CST)
