Just got my p30L,
- Thread starter Avenida
- Start date
Hey Bud,
yes, mine is the 30l. After practicing for a few weeks with the 226 I noticed how easily tired I was after shooting 10o rounds, hard to hit something accurately after that amount of rounds, specially in DA. So I had started my search for the BEST POLYMER IN CANADA, the answer was either GLOCK or HK, I hate GLOCKS, can't stand the plastic magazines nor the plastic guide rods and I am not interested in modding a any stock gun, so, HK it is. I am taking it to the range today. I have been dry firing a lot and it feels real GOOD. Fits like nothing I have tried before, the ergos on this gun are RIDICULOUSLY amazing and it is perfectly balanced. I said to you the other day, that polymers aren't for me, well, I am glad I am giving the HK a try because they are a beauty to hold, now let's see how it performs.
I think the only difference in the USP is the grip.

OP - Congrats on your P30L.
Dogzilla - I absolutely LOVE my full size HK45. Darn thing shoots like a dream, fits my hands perfectly and the trigger (DA/SA) in SA is Match quality. Can't ask for more than that. Oh and it shoots like a 9mm, but in a soft way unlike the sharper feeling of 9mm.
Which version were you looking at purchasing?

Looking forward to a range report.
ok so I took the Sig and the HK for a ride last night.
I did 4 courses of fire (IDPA with the HK), it blown me away.
Very easy to shoot, due to the grip being so comfortable, the sights are not night sights but they have a very good contrast and are very easy to pick up. I noticed that this gun likes hot loads, the loads I am running in my sig cycle the gun perfectly and they eject 5 feet away from at 5 o'clock whereas with the HK they barely make it out the ejection port.
Here is the good thing about it, I shoot better a DA/SA than a my Mp9, I don't even feel the long pull, nothing, the gun is very safe to handle, the pull is very deliberate but at the same time very precise and you know when it's going to brake since the DA pull comes to a full stop right before the break, which is vey defined. I am in love with this design and I know where the people complaining about the long trigger pull is coming from. I think that those are bench, slow shooters that take their shots aiming at teh target, thinking about the pull, pulling slowly.
You don't feel (at least I don't) any of that when you are running the gun in a realistic scenario, I love love love love this gun. I was the fastest at the range yesterday with it and very very accurate and we are talking IDPA courses with 10+ yards targets, moving targets, nealing and running, good stuff.
I run my SIG p226, amazing too, it is a recoil sponge, very easy to shoot accurate and the trigger is amazing in my gun, stock trigger.
It is slower, sluggish to run in IDPA compared to the HK due to its weight, the difference is subtle but it is there, the sights are noy as good as the sights on my HK and the SIG has Night Sights, I found these sights are hard to pick up but I think it has to do with the shape of the slide and high bore axis more than the sights itself. Overall it was a great shooter but the HK felt different, in my opinion the HK makes a much better, faster gun for self defense than the SIG. I felt more confident taking long distances shots with the Sig due to it's weight but I can achieve the same level of accuracy with the HK with practice. If I have to pick one, I would choose the HK in a heart beat, more reliable, lighter, built as a tank, very fast, nice trigger IMHO, SUPER ACCURATE and comfortable to shoot for longer periods of time.
I am very impressed.

I've hummed and hawed on the P30 for a while, I had an excellent opportunity to grab one this week for $700 and I am still debating.
Biggest problems with Hk is:
1) They will be bankrupt soon. Spare parts are next to impossible to find
2) Getting carry holster and mag pouches is nigh impossible without going a custom route.
That said they are awesome guns.

I think point #1 is a total rumor, and #2 is not true at all.
Camp-tac has all the holsters & mag pouches you might need and the price is the same as any quality holster out there.
So, if you don't mind telling me who is selling that P30 for 700, please shoot me a PM and I'll take it.

I'm in the US...
1 is not a rumor as HkO is deeply in debt, and the income is not offsetting their expenses.
The fiasco with their exec's all buying planes three years ago, and the board freaking out and making them dump it cost a lot, plus all the fines for the creative paperwork on some export deals has them hurting.
Someone - perhaps the German Gov will bail them out, but a foreign entity buying Hk needs to assume all the pension debt that the companies carries as part of German law.
Secondly show me a good concealed carry holster for a P30? I'm honestly curious

I told you already, try Comp-Tac, they make the minoutaur. One of my buddies at the range uses it for IDPA and he likes it. We don't carry here so we don't care for CCW, we just compete and play.
As per HK going out of business, do you really think that such a big company is going to disappear? Yes to someone bailing them out, FOR SURE, if Ithaca company survived 3 bankruptcies then HK can survive 10. They might have problems, but this is only rumor that you read on the internet, nothing else, now, if you were working INSIDE HK, well then, I would believe you, with all due respect we can start a new thread to talk about that...
With that being said, please send me the information of this gentleman selling a p30 for 700. I am a serious buyer.

Kevin - I would highly recommend you have a look at Raven Concealment for CC holsters. I have an OWB for my HK45 and couldn't be any happier.
They now offer quick-ship products that go out the door within a couple of days, but the selection of features is limited. The custom models will take a couple of weeks, but well worth it as well.

Congrats on getting that. I have a P30 myself. Excellent gun. Trgger takes some getting used to but it is a solid good shooting gun.
Didn't know about the news that H&K was doing badly. Hopefully they can fix themselves fast. It's a shame if we lose such good German workmanship on a gun.
Also
Cadillac? Ferrari? More like an Audi (SIG) and Mercede Benz (H&K) respectively. =D

I've been running Raven Concealment since their start (Ken Hackathorn linked BigRed and I up when we where still in Iraq).
I've got Sig, Glock, M&P, 1911 etc holsters from them -- but I don't run CCW guns without a light - and I did not see them offer it with a X300.
I guess I can mail them the gun to make one, I'm just pretty invested in the M&P platform now with mags etc.
Still shooting the P30 was nice - and the trigger was fantastic (very un HK) - its a 12(5) gun in Canada, and a personal sale from a guy in FL I know, so sorry dudes can't help you there.

I figured that you'd know about RC (kinda felt like a smart ass suggesting that to you, but it's all good
)They actually do offer, for the P30L, the option of running an x300 U/P Latch, x300 Rail Lock, x300 Ultra Rail Lock and x300 Ultra U/P Latch.
Cheers
