Threaded Barrel HK45CT with suppressor
CAUTION: MK23 and USP45 Tactical sound suppressors cannot be attached
to the HK45 or HK45C pistols as they are not "tuned" for proper function
on these models! For more information on use of sound suppressors
with HK45 Tactical and HK45 Compact Tactical pistols, please contact HK
Customer Service.
Use of Sound Suppressors (includes some product specific information)
Remember, the barrel and the suppressor piston has LEFT HAND threads.
1. Install the suppressor on the barrel by turning it counter-clockwise on the
barrel threads
2. For maximum suppression, install the Wipe Capsule. Remove the thread
protector from the end of the suppressor by loosening it “counter-
clockwise”. Install the Wipe Capsule with three (3) wipes. These wipes will
add additional flash/sound suppression for about 30 rounds. Extra wipes
need to be stored in an air tight container in a dark location to preserve their
shelf life. The Wipe Capsule has right hand threads. Install and tighten by
turning “clockwise”.
3. Check suppressor frequently to ensure it is securely attached to the barrel.
Remember, LEFT HAND threads.
4. To remove the suppressor, turn it “clockwise” on the barrel threads.
CAUTION: Use only HK approved suppressors with the HK45 Tactical and
HK45 Compact Tactical pistols
NOTE: Even though all types of high velocity supersonic (+P) ammunition
can be fired, for maximum effectiveness (suppression) only subsonic ball
ammunition should be used when a sound suppressor is attached.
Assembly and disassembly of HK45 and HK45 Compacts with threaded barrels
is the same as for other HK45 pistols depicted in this manual.
