In this week’s American Rifleman Television web-exclusive video, American Rifleman's Joe Kurtenbach leaves Heckler & Koch’s Grey Room and heads to the range with HK USA Marketing Director Bill Dermody to shoot an H&K pistol. The HK45 is the modern evolution of the HK USP chambered in .45 ACP. Not only is this a rugged pistol—it’s rated for a 20,000-round minimum service life—but now it’s made at the firm’s new facility in Columbus, Ga., with a mixture of American- and German-made parts. Watch this web-exclusive preview and be sure to see this week's ARTV episode on H&K's Grey Room, Part 1 on the Outdoor Channel.
