HK45C / HK45CT
Used by US Navy SEALs, including SEAL Team 6 (DEVGRU), the HK45C (compact) / HK45CT (compact tactical) is a compact pistol chambered in .45 ACP.
The HK45CT features high profile front and rear sights and an extended threaded barrel which allows supressors to be fitted.
The pistols are fed by 8 round magazines with the option of using extended magazines with a capacity of 10 rounds.

The rail can also mount other accessories such as different laser pointers and white lights.
