Guns Listing ID: 474656
Today the name Heckler & Koch is synonymous with auto pistols and assault rifles for police and military use, but this was not always the case. The origins of the Heckler & Koch Company and its first production pistol, the Model 4 (HK4) which was released in 1968. The name was chosen because the pistol was available with four interchangeable barrel and spring kits: .22 Long Rifle, 6.35 mm Browning, 7.65mm Browning and 9mm Browning Short.
HK4 - First Variant
Heckler & Koch Model 4, First Variant
From today’s point of view none of the above calibers is particularly effective for self-defense. But the HK4 was somehow commercially successful, perhaps because it was accepted as a service pistol for the German Customs Police (Zoll), though it was never quite able to compete with the Walther PPK which was reissued by the Walther Company in the 1950s.
One of the owners of the Heckler & Koch Company, Alex Seidel, had been the primary design engineer behind the Mauser HSc (the Hahn- Selbstladespannpistole, Ausführung c) before World War II. So it is not surprising that the HK4 is closely related to the Mauser HSc. The idea of interchangeable barrels was not new either. In 1934 the August Menz Company had released the “PB Spezial” which was issued with interchangeable barrels in 9mm short, 7.65mm Browning, .22 centerfire and 4mm.
Key Features of the HK4:
Interchangeable Barrels: The HK4 can be fitted with barrels in various calibers, such as:
.22 Long Rifle (.22 LR)
.32 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol)
.380 ACP (9mm Kurz)
This feature made it adaptable to different ammunition types depending on user preference or availability.
Compact Design: The HK4 is a relatively small and lightweight pistol, making it a popular choice for concealed carry and personal defense.
Single and Double Action: The HK4 operates in both single-action (SA) and double-action (DA) modes. This means the user can either manually cock the hammer before firing or allow the trigger to cock it with each shot.
Reliability: Like many of Heckler & Koch‚‚s firearms, the HK4 is known for its robust design and reliability.
Production: The HK4 was produced from the late 1960s through the 1980s, and while it was not as widely adopted as other pistols, it became known for its versatility and innovation.
Though it was eventually discontinued, the HK4 holds a place in the history of Heckler & Koch‚‚s firearms development. It is often considered a predecessor to more modern pistols in HK‚‚s lineup.
