HK 45 Compact

Although, I too am disapointed with this latest news, I'm not quite ready to give up on a CT grip laster for the HK45 and HK45c (as well as the various P30 varients)...  However, it is frustrating....  Frankly if there was another option for me, I'd probably give it a shot, but since I can't stand laser/light combo's, I'm kinda locked into the a CT style laser system....

As much as I'd love to see CTC produce LGs for the HK45/HK45C, I can understand their decision not to fast track it. From a marketshare standpoint, the HK45 and HK45C don't sell in nearly the numbers that Glocks, XDs, and M&Ps do. Furthermore, the removable backstrap of the HK45/HK45C doesn't lend itself to LGs the way the M&P does. So CTC would be looking at a solution closer to the XD/Glock "grips" than the traditional approach.

This is my second year in a row carrying a gun without Lasergrips, and frankly it sucks. But for some reason, I couldn't get CTC to drop everything and make a one-off engineering sample just for me. Sheesh!

What I am upset about is I have been told for months that a laser grip for the HK45C was in development, and now I find out it was a load of crap. There is NOTHING out there available for the HK45C other than the GIGANTIC rail mounts, and they really do suck!

I do not expect CT to drop what they are doing and develop me a laser grip, but I do expect them to do what they told me in the beginning, that a grip will be ready soon. That is why I am so disappointed with CT right now.

I understand the market share side of the equation, makes sense to first put your efforts into something that will sell in volume.  however, I too agree with markbet....  beside, it couldn't hurt the bottom line to sell other models in addition to the high volume sellers?

Crimson Trace, and new movement in the HK arena?

No, we are going to be like the ParaOrdinance P14.45  people, they are going to dangle a carrot in our face for 10 years using their favorate quote, "never say never".

still nothing?

Keeping this thread (and interest) alive!

sadly, not holding my breath.....  too bad, I'd be out the door right now to buy a set for my full size HK45
