Are these a civilian variant of the HK USP45? Very cool, need to get RPAL...

Nice to see the adjustable LPA low profile sights. Much more streamlined than the full target sights. I got the same style fibre optic sights on my HK45 and they are very nice!
That is very nice. I wonder how it compares to my USP-T45. That thing flat out shoots and does feels Tame too. I have heard the trigger is not as good as the USP-T Match Trigger. The tacitcal model does not have any upgrades such as Match Trigger versus the regular HK45 correct? Thanks.
Honestly the USP Tactical is a much better choice if you're looking at HK45 or the P30. The VP9/SFP9 is great though
Although the slide stop and mag release are better on the newer pistols because they are larger and easier to use, I don't have large hands but I still prefer the USP any day. The new grips are nice but not a game changer, not a big fan of those finger grooves. If it doesn't fit you perfectly and you squeeze really hard, I feel you'd have less grip than a pistol without grooves. You can get extended mag release on the USP, slide stop isn't that big of a deal because you can release the slide with your reloading hand after the mag is inserted.
The recoil assembly is better on the USP as well as the match trigger. The match trigger is 100% worth it you will not regret it.
All I did was get the tactical in 9mm, ordered the thread protector and got Meprolight suppressor height tritium night sights (This is what HK uses and recommends). Want to get a Tactical in 45 soon.
Less recoil, better trigger and the pistol has a great history to it.

I actually owned the SFP9 and sold it to get the P30L. I prefer DA/SA but HK's LEM has interested me but I have not had a chance to fire one. The one complaint I have for the P30L is its trigger's reset is quite long. I would love to get some parts from HK, maybe even convert to a Light LEM. It has been rock solid reliable and fits my hand better than anything else. The stippling on the grip of the P30 is much better than the SFP in my opinoin. My USP45-Tactical is just an awesome shooter, The softest shooting polymer 45 I have tried and is a tack driver. Thanks for the info Keodis.
I owned a P30L too, couldnt decide between that and a USP but got the P30L because its the kind of the "evolution" to the USP, so its gotta be great right?
Absolutely hated the trigger so much I traded it, but that really was my only complaint. I loved the grip but cant decide if it would be better off without the grooves, maybe I feel that way because the USP grip checkering on the front is really aggressive.
If HK made the P30L with a match trigger like the USP Tactical and used the USP style recoil assembly it would be amazing. 18 round mags instead of 15 would be great upgrade too. Either way most of you guys are stuck with 10.

I agree, the P30L is not so great trigger wise. I have seen videos of a specific gunsmith in the states who can make Light-LEM p30's INCREDIBLE but we are outta luck up here. I think the USP is one of the greatest platforms ever made. Have you had any time on a LEM regardless of model?
I know HKparts has some pretty decent upgrades for the trigger (that is what this gunsmith uses) but I dont know of any guys who are HK certified smiths/armourers from Canada, do you?

Awesome, Thank you very much. I assume, I ill check them out for sure.
I actually prefer the Paddle Style Magazine release on all HK's. I can see how some guys just dont like it.
