can someone tell me the differance between the H&K 45 and the H&K usp? i have heard so many good things about these pistols, i am a 1911 guy but might go in a different direction with my next pistol....

Really cool and just cool!
HK 45 is an updated design on the existing USP model, better slide design and grip makes for a better handling gun and it looks pretty nice as well. Trouble is the HK 45 is not on the cal roster so you will have to pay above cost from someone selling one (LEO) probably. Someone here recently had on for sale for around 1300 which is about the lowest price your going to find them for in cal.
The original plan for the HK 45 was for the US military to take orders for there latest side arm, it was designed with them in mind, but that some how went south. But rather than scraping it HK produced it as there latest 45 for the civilian market. -
The cheaper alternative - USP 45
As the previous poster mentioned, the HK45 is a new pistol that is not on the CA list, so it can't be bought here through the usual channels. Elsewhere in the US it would cost you about $900, but here it might cost $1300 or so from a LEO using his ability to import such a gun and trying to make a profit on it.
If I were you I'd look at the older USP 45, which is a fine gun costing a lot less. I got mine used for $550 about 8 years ago, and it has worked perfectly for me.

Hk45 on the right with the laser/light combo. USP 45 to the left with white lettering. Basically the same pistol with cosmetic/ergonomic upgrades, HK45 does have a true 1911 rail.
My biggest gripe with the HK45 was the lousy sights on it, they are not true NS like on the USP/P2000, but a superluminova that requires light to activate them and make them glow, the light slowly dims till it's out over the next hour or so.
The HK45 is supposed to have a match component in it's trigger, but the trigger felt no different than the USP. I ended up selling the HK45 and kept my USP.
I think it can be confirmed that an alien xenomorph is absolutely no match for good ole' Alabama black snake!

I'd say ergonomics. USP has a grip comparable to a 2x4, and magazine release is smaller. HK45 has interchangable back straps, better ergonomics.
For general purpose the difference isn't much. But after trying my P30L's magazine release, my P2000's magazine release ins't cutting it for me.Comment

I prefer the usp's grips. Plus the use of my prebans on my 9.
WTB used AK MFER.Comment

I was wondering the same thing. I like the USP 45c, but I have a feeling once I hold the HK 45c, I'll regret getting the USP.
Anyone in the Sacramento/Elk Grove area have a HK 45c???

Trijicon and Heine makes night sights for HK45. Great pistol, feels great in the hand compared with the G21 or G21SF.Comment
