That's not very descriptive. Can you describe what occurred? Interested people want to know.or because of some other problem (cough, cough HK POS).

M&P 45 2.0!
For about $400 it's a great gun. Has a grip that's not a 2x4 and so easy to shoot. I say this as someone that is much more of a 9mm guy.
No surprise here. But how much did you pay for that Mark 23? The OP set forth a budget of $800.Still yet to find a gun that I like to shoot more than my HK Mark 23. It's the softest shooting .45 I've ever shot. It's also a great silencer host that my wife likes to also shoot.
Here's some HK45 background with a Vickers and Hackathorn interviewI was at a indoor range a year or so ago and the guy next to me was shooting a HK45 compact. He let me shoot a mag through it, I was dumbfounded at how soft and accurately it shot. I have 3 1911s but if I ever bought another.45 it would be that HK, really a sweet shooter.

I recently picked up an FNX 45, I finally got the chance to shoot it a week ago. It seems accurate enough, and I think I like it more than the USP 45 I had a few years ago.
That’s exactly how I felt about my HK USP when I bought the FNP45. Super accurate and more aesthetically please to me than the USP.
I bought an extended threaded barrel for it and running an Osprey suppressor. I can draw you a smiley face on the target at 15 yards without thinking too hard about it. I love my FNP 45.
My FNP45 why my FNX9
The HK-45 is a pistol I've fired only a couple mags through, but seems lightyears better than the USP. Its price is considerably above OP's range, though.
Be aware that the safety lever on the HK45 is also a decocker. If you ride the safety like many 1911 shooters do you could decocker by accident.I like the fact that it has the same ergonomics as my 1911's.

I haven’t had a problem with it though.
Handle that be before you decide. The safety lever is pretty firm so you may be fine unless you really ride it hard.
You may have just talked me out of buying an HK45.
That's why I come here.

There’s also the LEM trigger that eliminates the safety lever.
As far as polymer guns go I definitely agree. It screens utilitarian fighting pistol to me. No real frills, just a functional 45 for getting you out of a bad situation.Just checked one out at the LGS yesterday. I don't think it's going to be a problem. Dang, that's a nice pistol. Tried to rent one at the range yesterday but no luck, they didn't have one. HK doesn't seem to be real popular around here.

The trough in the bottom of the trigger guard didn’t bother you?
Night sights can be had for like $120 I think from HKparts.net. If you have a sight pushing tool that is.
The number of HKs available in my area has quadrupled where I live in the last 5 years or so. I think their price drop has really helped bring them to a more competitive place with the civilian market.
I paid $1000 for my HK45! Now, you can get one for under $800.
If they adapt that model into a 10mm I’d have one so fast it’d make my head spin.
HK must have just dropped the prices recently.
