Hi Jean, yes, this is essentially the same pistol. The HK45 Compact Tactical builds on the tough, military lineage of the Heckler & Koch HK45 series of handguns. The HK45 pistol series (compact and full-size models) were chosen as the first firearms made at HK's American manufacturing facilities so it is only fitting that a variant would be adopted as the official pistol of a major U.S. special operations unit. The HK45 Compact Tactical (CT) is the closest a civilian can get to that military pistol. The HK45 CT comes standard with a threaded barrel, 10-round magazine with extended floorplate, and replaceable backstraps to adjust the feel and grip circumference of the pistol to suit individual hand size and shooting preferences. Stay safe & have a great day!
