I'm another HK fan. I've only got the VP9 and the VP9sk...but that's a fine looking 45. It's hard to find better ergonomics in a handgun.

I have two baby HKs, both are the HK4. One is 32 cal. w 22LR conversion. The other is 380 cal.

HKs and M&Ps are the plastic pistols that I like.
I have more than a few of the USP family having bought a
USP9 on the first day they were out and the same for mu USP45. Both are serial numbered in the 600s
When HK decided to do the colored frames, I thought I would be going bankrupt
I decided the Coyote Tan was my favorite and the only color I would by. I do have a Coyote Tan HK545 Tactical, but at this moment I do not have a photo of it. This is my bedside gun. It has a suppressor mounted to it and I am using one of the 20 round high capacity magazines
My USP45 Tactical is also Coyote Tan. The USPs have a larger grip diameter than the HK45. After all the standard capacity magazine of the HK45 is 10 rounds while the USP mags can hold 14 rounds in the standard capacity magazine.
I think it looks real good with the Osprey suppressor on it
Without a doubt, the Elite has some sexy lines to it
The Elite is an incredible shooter.
The other nice think about the full size USP family of pistols is that they can safely chamber and fire the 45ACP, 45ACP+P or 45SUPER without making any changes to the firearm. That 6"+ barrel along with a 45SUPER cartridge is an amazing combinations

That suppressed .45 is absolutely great for inside home defense. After you stop shooting you can still hear.

My vote would be a USP match with stainless slide, then the Elite, Mark23, and finally a tactical.

As a long time HK aficionado, I appreciate all of the above 45's. But I have to say I believe the sexiest HK in 45 is the USP compact stainless. Hopefully 1 of the more skilled on the forum will post a pic.

I had HK 91 rifles and loved them, and when the P7 first came out, I passed thinking I would get a used one cheap when they were out for awhile! I'm still waiting 30 years later!!!

Sexy and HK 45 in the same sentence. 
Is this the one Larry Vickers helped design?
My vote[I wished I owned one] would be for the P9S Sport model in either 9mm or 45ACP!

I'd have to go with the Expert, followed by the MK23 for the "raw strength" look.
If only HK could get it together and produce an amazing trigger. The pistols will survive about anything the planet could throw at them, they are utterly reliable. I really, really like them. They just also have fairly awful triggers. If my MK23 or USP had a trigger like the one Langdon does for the Beretta's or that the Sig guy did on my P226, they'd be the hands down best pistol of their type.
I'm wanting to check out the HK45 compact tactical but can't find one to hold anywhere. I don't want to drop 1k for something I'm not in love with.

Well there you have it - thoughts? Other than it's an HK and obviously works, what's your picky review of it please? I'm having to learn without being able to touch one in this instance.

i had rotator cuff surgery before i had a chance to shoot it but i can say that all 3 of my HK's feel great - i don't have large hands for a guy that's 6'4" but when i'm holding any of them they just feel like they were meant to be there since birth haha! all kidding aside the ergonomics are fantastic - i have the .45, .45CT and a P30L and they all have GREAT ergonomics - the P30L feels the best TO ME but all of this is subjective - try and get one in your hands
