Any P30 love here? I've begun using this as my primary carry piece, and really enjoy it. I've been giving some thought to a threaded barrel and supressor for it as well, for use at the range, and for home defense.

I have been carrying my P30 v3 9mm for over 3 1/2 years now, it is my Favorite gun, and the best polymer 9mm on the market ! Just got the HK 45 for home Defense. if you like the P30 you will also like The Hk 45. To me HK rules!!!
I'd have to agree with you on that. Being a fairly new HK45 owner...900 + rds later and not a hiccup. Spot on accurate to boot. I'm loving it and thinking about the HK45 compact now.Quote:

Ergonomics are great, everyone of my friends thats held it loves it. Can't say I blame them.
try triggerwork.com Bill does an amazing job on triggers for the P30. takes the slack out, lowers pull weight, and shortens the reset as well as improves accuracy of the firearm depending on the work you have done by him. As for the wear, have you considered an IWB holster with a sweat/body shield so the handle doesn't rub as much?Quote:

Well, if you do decide to lighten the trigger pull on the P30 LEM, it's very simple to convert it from a Var 2, to a Var 1, by replacing two springs you can buy from HKparts, for a total of about $17. If I recall correctly, you'd reduce the pull by about 1.5 lbs
Love my HK 45 with the light LEM. As far as the P 30 in 9mm, I have never fired a P30, have handled one before, it felt ok in my hand, would like to fire one to give it a fair review. So I do own a PPQ in 9mm and feel you should give it a good look. Sweet trigger and great ergo's. So far it has been flawless with several types of ammo. Round count is 500.
I am putting up an HK video on Sat night. HK equals quality is the name...
I usually carry my P2000. I'm trying to talk my wife into getting a P30. Can anyone help me make my case?
Take her to a gun shop that has a P30 in stock. Put it in her hand.
That should be the end of it right there. I did this with a friend of mine who was trying to talk me into an M&P. He shut up the moment he held the P30, and now wants one, too. They're love at first grip with the right backstrap and plates in place for her hand. Have her hold it, rack the slide, try the slide lock, and mag release.. the ergonomics are fantastic, and the recoil system on it is great. It's a very soft shooter. The 40 feels like a typical 9, and the 9.. well.. it's like an airgun, IMHO. H&K has no other gun that can really be compared to it in terms of both feel and function. I was looking at a P200 when I met the P30. I forgot the P2000 existed 5 seconds after I picked up the P30.
The one gun that is a good comparison in my opinion, is the Walther PPQ. I own both of these now. The P30 with a full Bill Springfield trigger job, Trijicon yellow/green night sights, and a Lasermax Uni-Green laser, and the PPQ with a Sprinco recoil management system and the same green/yellow Trij sights. I love them both.
PS My P30 is the variant 3 trigger (DA/SA)
Received my new P30SK today and really excited to have a range day this weekend :-)
Found out the P2000SK 9mm mag with a pinky rest would work in the P30SK "which they haven't come out with that feature yet". With only a minor modification to the base plate, I've found works really well and I can get a much better grip on it. Easy Fix!
