Best Answer

It is often pronounced "kosh", but in German the "ch" would sound like the "ch" in Scottish "loch".

Further information: The name is German in origin and is actually correctly pronounced with a hard h. The final phoneme of 'ch' should not be pronounced as a ck, nor is it a 'soft' h. It is a unique and distinct hard hsound. The vowel is a short o like in the word hot.However, like many German names, it has been anglicised in some regions so that various individuals with this family name may pronounce it as cook, cock, koch and so on.

The Wikipedia entry for Heckler & Koch is not strictly correct. It gives the pronunciation as: hɛklɐʔʊntˈkɔx. Explanation for the "ch" (transliterated as "x") part is as follows:

loch (Scottish)
