The HK45 was developed as an upgraded version of the highly regarded USP45, first released in 1995. The .45 ACP HK45 includes several user-inspired enhancements such as changeable grip panels (backstraps), a Picatinny MIL-STD-1913 accessory rail, improved ergonomics, and more ambidextrous controls. Along with the HK45 Compact, the HK45 was developed as a potential candidate for the Joint Combat Pistol (JCP) and Combat Pistol (CP) programs managed by the U.S. military in their search for a new service handgun to replace the 9mm M9. These programs were suspended before completion, and no pistols were selected.
