BudsGunShop.com - Country of manufacture

This has an HKU serial number prefix denoting that it was made in USA. There should be zero quality difference from the German guns.

this one is made at the hk American manufacturing facility in Newington, New Hampshire.

Andrew, Lately in my LGS, I've seen the HK 45 and HK 45 Compact being marked as Made in Germany along with the appropriate proof markings. The HK 45 Tactical and Compact Tactical appear to be marked as USA made. I would see if Buds Customer Service can verify Country or Manufacture with their Inventory Dept. at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon-Sat and 11am - 7pm Sun (7 days a week).
