After looking into it the HK45C has the same dec0cker as the USP so I searched again and indeed a 1911 shooter described the same problem as you experienced. But if you don't ride the safety lever then it isn't the cause. Maybe H&K had some faulty dec0ckers or had improperly assembled them...
Anyhow I can't imagine the SEALs would adopt the pistol if that were a common problem, so I still will go ahead and purchase it here soon and let you all know if I run into any issues. Thanks for the information Semtex!

Yes, I should mention that I bought mine when it first came out. As in, I bought the first one my gun shop sold. They told me they just got it in 3 days before I bought it. So it's definitely possible that there were some early production issues. I hope so anyway. It's very uncharacteristic for HKs to have issues like this, and overall my esteem for HK hasn't been diminished in the least. Your question was a fair one. Thing is, I've had other HK pistols with decocking safeties and haven't run into this. If I were accidentally decocking you'd think it'd happen on other HK models too right? *shrug* Anyway, assuming you don't experience the same issue, I think you're going to absolutely love the 45C. It is an incredibly smooth pistol, a real gem of a gun!
