Glock 26 vs HK P30sk - TheFireArmGuy

[@williampowell8083]

Dan, best comparison video award goes to you! keep em coming.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks so much William

[@joshtaylor4980]

awesome video ! to the point.great v

[@doobiedoo7623]

I own both of these pistols and the HK is a better made pistol, hands down. You can see and feel the quality of the HK. The HK's have everything that you need out of the box. Glock;s are good pistols too but they are not in the same league as an HK pistol.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Well said Juan

[@henridenavarre7892]

HK is on another level regarding production quality process : off the charts for all their firearms. But Glock is also quality, be it in a more utilitarian way.

[@nhwnhw02]

I have a Glock 27 and a HK P30SK with the LEM. Both great. However the P30SK came with night sights. The P30SK just feels perfect in my hand. However the Glock 27 without an extension to the magazine feels very close to perfect. My little finger curls under the grip perfectly. The TruGlo TFO aftermarket sights are much brighter in daylight and also at night. The LEM trigger is very very good. Accuracy is almost equal with P30SK being a little better. So nearly equal, still use either but just love that HK.

[@doobiedoo7623]

I love my HK,s too, I bought 7 of them so far. I have 3 Glock,s but they do not get any action at the range anymore because I just cant get over the way they feel in your hand. And I hate the angle of the grip, the pistol does not point naturally like other pistols that have the 1911 grip angle. Like I said, Glock's are good pistols but they are not as awesome as many claim to be either.

[@nhwnhw02]

I can relate.

[@imoffthegrid2158]

The HK is clearly a better pistol.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

OK thanks buddy

[@johnscreekmark]

Well...”Better” is subjective. I think the HK is a higher quality firearm, but there is a reason the Glock is so popular (pointed out in this review). I prefer the HK VP9SK...doesn’t make it “Better”.

[@joshuasmith6346]

Glocks are good but you'd be silly not to take the Hk

[@80sDon]

@Tacticool Because you have no taste and little sense.

[@jamesmccall6658]

I own both but prefer the H&K for carry

[@MrAutochamber]

I recently bought the P30Sk in V3 with decocker and safety. My first H&K and I am beyond impressed it is a better gun than my CZ Rami that is hard to say.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks bud

[@applied.precision]

Saw your comment and had to respond even though it's been awhile. Just got the same model and I love it. But I have wanted a 2075 Rami for a couple years now, you ever wanna sell it holler at my username. Thx a lot.

[@MrAutochamber]

@@applied.precision Drew I sold it just a couple months ago and Im sorry I did!! I had put a full size CZ75 Cajungun works safety on it as well . For the safety model it was done up right. It shot just as well a full size handgun. I should have kept it regardless but you know us gun guys we get the itch and......

[@albertptran]

I want both a Rami and P30SK

[@toynazi]

Both are great guns but the P30sk is a step above the 26 quality wise. IMO

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Definitely more features with the HK P30sk

[@toynazi]

I agree 1000% I broke the bank buying one with night sights and three mags but I couldn't be happier with it.

[@vepraksoldat2963]

I have HK P30sk and P30L 40mm. Love them

[@lamontcoleman4304]

Kevin Carson nobody cares about that

[@alejandrocabrera3380]

@@toynazi where did you bought this gun? I was looking at it in a few sites to buy it online, but couldn't find it, any recommendation will be great. Thanks

[@nickboudreau711]

Great review I love when someone can explain every detail in less than 8 minutes instead of 30. Keep up the great work. Def earned a subscriber

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks man. I appreciate it

[@gooseseey4687]

He’s not trying to get the KZbin money. I agree I enjoyed this quick, concise, review.

[@whiskeyactual.]

This is still the best P30SK/Glock 26 comparison video on the internet. Great work!

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I really appreciate that bud

[@Dadeluis]

I looked at both and went with Hk as my ccw the 4th Hk i have purchased in my life 😆great video

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks for checking it out bud

[@silverbackgorilla2112]

I just purchase a brand new P30SK LEM yesterday, she's a real sweetheart.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I had that gun once. It was great

[@rotorwind177]

I looked at both and ended up with the G26. HK is awesome but hard to beat the size of the Glock. Smaller and same capacity.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Well said Rotorwind

[@vepraksoldat2963]

smaller, by so little difference, that make no sense

[@Teeyo456]

Rotorwind Yep! Glock 26 for me all the way! I love everything about the Glock! The size, the trigger, the price, the tried and true reliability. People say the Glock is like a huge block well the P30 SK looks like a huge freaking brick compared to the Glock in this video. No thanks.

[@hickorystick597]

I traded my G26 for my P30SK a year or so ago. The only thing I did to my HK is put in the shorter slide stop lever because with my thumbs forward grip, I would prevent the slide stop from engaging after the last round....easy fix. The HK feels like it was molded to fit my hand and I love the LEM trigger. I find the size and reliability to be about the same between both guns. The grip and trigger are what win me over on the HK.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I agree Hickory - thanks

[@vepraksoldat2963]

and HK p30sk also reasonably priced

[@michaelglenn2468]

Hickory Stick I had the same issue and saw that HKparts offered a shorty lever for $40........so I just cut mine down with an air grinder and never looked back.

[@ecureed]

Just got my P30sk LEM, love it

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Very cool Matt

[@nhwnhw02]

Some HK P30SKs come with factory tritium sights and 3 magazines. HK has improved magazine internals such that they have the old 10 round magazines plus 12, 13 and 15 round magazines. The 12 round magazines can be flush or have an extension. Both are flat in the back to not imprint while concealed. The 13 and 15 round magazines have slim spacers such that there is no gap at the bottom of the grip. The LEM trigger (terrible name choice) is really a 2 stage trigger kinda like the Geissele SSA-E. First part very reduced pressure, then at the wall an additional 3 pounds will fire the weapon. The reset is very short. The LEM trigger is awesome. The P30SK is also fully ambidextrous. The magazine can be dropped with your thumb or forefinger.

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

The LEM trigger is not REALLY double action.. It technically is, but its a poor way to describe it to people who don't know what it is. It's much more accurately described as single action with a long take up or 2 stage trigger. The hammer is split into 2 parts.. The cocking part, which is internal and where the hammer spring attaches, and the external hammer, which is mostly fake until engaged by the internal part. The external part of the hammer only has a function when the sear breaks and the internal part pushes on the external part firing the gun. When the slide is racked, it cocks the internal hammer mechanism which is where all the tension is held and the external part of the hammer is then free. The only tension on the trigger and the external hammer is the small trigger spring (about 1lb) until you get to the sear, at which point theres a 4.5-5.5lb break. Similar to a 2 stage rifle trigger. So in function, its really a single action trigger but since its moving an unsprung secondary external hammer, it makes it classify as a double action.. It's almost the exact same as a striker fired gun. Saying its double action makes it sound terrible when its really not a true double action. In fact, the light LEM trigger is usually lighter than the SA in the DA/SA version.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

You sure know your stuff. I appreciate your insight

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

no prob. i only mention it because i had a disgusted look on my face the first time someone tried to explain what the LEM trigger was because they said its "double action only." which we all relate to an abysmal 10-15lb trigger pull before we get to SA on our DA/SA guns or DA revolvers. was only after i learned about it, installed it, and used it that i was like ohhhh, this is awesome. another trick to know about this style trigger is even though the external hammer is free, you do have direct external control of it. so when re-holstering the gun you can hold your thumb over the back of the slide and even if you accidentally ever bumped into the trigger, the trigger cant move cause its directly attached to the hammer. (i knew a cop that fired his glock into his ass doing that) so you get all of the safety of a DA trigger but the light crisp SA pull.

[@dubon811]

Maximus Joseppi thanks for the info

[@elblancobasura]

The G-26 is the greatest concealed carry innovation of all time. Price, mag compatibility, ease of use, weight, parts availability, accuracy, conceal-ability, reliability, durability. It has it all. Utilitarian? Yes, very. It works.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Well said Bradley

[@apb2887]

The P30sk is not that far off price wise from a Glock 26, I know they are usually between $550 - $600 but I have seen the P30sk online as well as local for $529. The Glock 26 is anywhere from $475 - $570 depending on where you get it. You just gotta search for good deals! 😀

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thats true Adam

[@TheBoxingCannabyte]

Love my 26, love it to death, but the SK just takes it for me. Love HK, gave up my Glocks for it and it's really the only model or manufacturer I can think of (maybe SIG) that I can think of. Getting another (my 5th) Glock down the road but the HK just....it's everything i want.

[@clintwestwood1895]

I am going team g26 because of all the unique variables that the G26 provides like it uses so many different mags and aftermarket support and apocalypse parts availability etc.

[@david-wi2wh]

Dan, I watched this again since it is such a great video. God bless. Take care.

[@grady7443]

Had the opportunity to shoot the HK at the range two weeks ago. I would say it has real good ergonomics and it is my favorite long trigger pull gun. However, I traded for a Glock gen5 26 the other day. It has just a tad less recoil than the HK and a little better ergonomics than the gen4 Glock. That's not to mention the 4oz. wt. difference between the HK & 26. I think the gen5 26 is under cut a bit higher than the gen4. Anyway, I like the spartan appearance of the Glock better so for me it was an easy choice.

[@venomgt7299]

The price comparison is out the window.After you upgrade the terrible plastic Glock sights, trigger and recoil spring/Rod the Glock cost a lot more.And still the HK is far more accurate.Im going with the P30sk all day

[@TheFirearmGuy]

No argument here

[@venomgt7299]

TheFireArmGuy Thanks for your videos.It helped me buy the HK P30sk last week.Still love my Glock 19 though.Keep up the great reviews

[@jamesallen5591]

Venom GT72 Thank you for pointing that out. You might be labeled a 'Glock Hater' now. I neither love nor hate Glocks, but their fan boys can be annoying as hell (not that TheFireArmGuy is one of them). The fans sometimes use price comparison in favor of a Glock. Then, when someone points out the fact that one has to upgrade sights, grips and or recoil spring, the Glocksters point out that that is a strong Glock buying point: So many after market options available!! I'm looking to buy a CCW pistol; not a project.

[@venomgt7299]

James Allen I liked my Glock 19 But had to upgrade to an HK.I do think the H&K is much better out of the box.

[@jamesallen5591]

Venom GT72 I'm leaning toward an HK. Of course, that is as of today!

[@williejr71williams22]

What a way to do a comparison 👏 video!

[@Harlem139Convent1]

I have them both, i have the 26, and the hk p9, the lem version, they r both awesome guns, love the fact the the p9 comes with night sights i also love the trigger pull on the p9, u r correct about the 26’s trigger pull, its at least. 6lbs if not more! They r both awesome guns, they both will get the job done!!

[@bucksshots3109]

i just bought one today for 531$. Mine is the double/single action version. Havent shot it yet but you can feel the quality

[@TheFirearmGuy]

You will love the way the P30sk shoots

[@bayard0157]

I have a P30sk and had the Glock 26. The P30sk is really not that much larger to me. You could easily conceal either one. Comes down to whether you like hammer vs. striker, or are an HK nut job like I am.

[@ricklarence7751]

Just picked up the HK this morning

[@jaywinters2483]

This is a good review and thanks for not ruining it with music

[@dashcammer4322]

I have a P30SK on order. These 2 are dimensionally similar in a lot of aspects. I wonder if some leather holsters that fit the G26 well might also fit the P30SK with a little bit of stretching to accommodate the rail.

[@tomyen187]

Pretty much ALL HK P30SK reviews are for the LEM version, what's the point?

[@LWRoad]

26 my favorite CCW but you make a strong case for the HK!

[@TheFirearmGuy]

[@josephpuchel6497]

Hey Just subscribed Just retired. Had S&W, H&K and Glock. But now looking at CC. I thought Glock 26 because I already have a 9 compact. Why change. But I like the H&K P30sk or VP 9. Another decision Excellent tutorial

[@rogerbuck8667]

Good video, covered everything without a lot of drama.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks Roger

[@cbwelch4]

I got my P30sk used for $425 in good shape used. It oozes quality and fits the hand like a glove. I like 2A/SA better for carry these days dur to enhanced safety on the draw. I have a P30sk without a frame safety and I carry in condition one. I also have a Glock 19. I don't bother with the 26 because to me they carry almost the same. The hard part of carrying it is its girth. The extra butt is not of equal consequence compared to the extra five rounds. If I were really nervous about an area I'd carry the Glock. I shoot the P30 a bit better as the ergos are superior.

[@TheMrjackson40]

Love my HK I feel it is more accurate than my glock every time I take it to the range I am bound to hit a perfect shot 20yrd away.

[@squib3083]

these are my 2 favorite subcompacts. awesome shooters. love 'em both.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Good stuff Squib

[@romagman]

I just purchase the HK- VP9 and it is by far my best firearm. It fits so well in my hand. Like it was made taylor just for me. Its very reliable and accurate.

[@grady7443]

Over 4 oz. heavier for the HK is a lot & you feel the difference trying to conceal it. The HK is top heavy compared to the Glock. That doesn't bother some people though. The Glock feels more like you are shooting their next size up pistol the 19.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Good stuff Grady

[@joewger]

Bought the 30SK lem Dao V1. Best pistol I ever owned!. Liked the VP9SK but with my fingers scissor striker fired triggers hurt my fingers and cut into them because they are long like and pinch and cut and hurt after a few shots!

[@captaindanield5827]

Have both HK-P30 AND P30SK. Much prefer the safety and decocker with visible hammer over a Striker fired pistol. I can see exactly what condition the gun is in for safety reasons. P30SK grips are great and the foot on the magazine fills out the hand for a grip that feels solid. Also own a Sig 229 in .40

[@mauwalker]

You can get the P30SK V3 and SKS V3 for the same money as a G26 these days as the VP9SK is the big rage in gun world.

[@tonyrogo227]

Yeah I'm not sure where you're seeing that as I'm finding the HK easily $150-200 more.

[@kimrandall8135]

[@TheFirearmGuy]

[@5jjt]

What I don't like about guns that aren't Glock, I wonder when springs will break, if I'll have any spares, and how to actually replace the parts.

[@Z3V5B0]

See how the top of the H&K slide is tapered. Makes a big difference to me with CC feel in the holster. My Sig, HK and Walther are all heavier than my Glock but carry all day more comfortably. Final finish makes a big difference.😉

[@Patriot7476]

I have owned both and have more rounds down range than I can count. The HK is the V3 DA/SA and is my favorite. After carrying and shooting both, my Glock has found another home. I like the advantage of carrying cocked and locked as I do with my 1911s. Manual of arms very similar. The de-cock is also a plus. Accuracy for me is much better than with my old Glock.

[@Hunter_Family_2024]

Thanks for the video- both are fantastic options

[@992turbos]

I fell in love with the p30sk (and the vp9sk) the first time i saw them, when i was first getting into firearms. Thought they looked so aggressive, heavy. A gun the Terminator would use.

[@samantha1054]

I own a glock 26 and h&k vp9. If I had to pick up one gun, it would be the Glock . Not because its a better handgun but because it is a simpler with nothing going on on the frame or sights. H&K is a better made gun and you have alot going on with the frame. Stuff that's nice to have, but not necessary for shooting. When the new H&K vp9 subcompact comes out; however, I will be the first in line.

[@stevenewald9732]

Great comparison video. I'm just stubborn, been carrying the g26 for too many years to trust anything else. Thanks for sharing.

[@vepraksoldat2963]

good to be open minded

[@chrishutchinson7611]

P30SK def better than glock 26. Higher quality, NO plastic sights, fewer aftermarket parts yes but HKs don't need modifications like glocks often do. Spend the extra money and invest in a HK. I love my HK P30sk lite LEM variant.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Once again a well done video. I recently bought a H&K VP9 and I am waiting for H&K to send me four free 15 round mags that they are offering in a promo at this time. I want to ad the p30sk 9mm just because I like it also. I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) that the 15 round magazines will work in either gun. I have and have owned several Glocks and I feel that they are good guns but the H&K seems to be more bang for the buck and feel awesome in my rather large hand.

Glocks are the AK's of the pistol world, simple and reliable and accurate enough, never cared for rails on handguns myself. While the HK's are better quality overall and many other great guns seem better built than the Glock, I never fear i'm going to break my Glock or wear it out. I just know i,ve fired a few thousand rounds through my Glock and it has NEVER malfunctioned, that give me peace of mind when carrying it.

Great comparison, Looking at purchasing a P30sk, what type of magazine extension do you have on yours? as far as I can tell they don't come with one already installed?

[@TheFirearmGuy]

The extension for the P30sk was bout on ebay for $12

[@alejandrocabrera3380]

Good comparison, by the way, where can I buy it online? Thanks

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Check gunbroker

[@guitarsampsguns339]

I wonder if there is any chance if HK would make a HK P30sk slim (single stack like) version. Seems like it would be an awesome offering. Where its overall slimmer more like glock 43 or glock 43x. Of course with a magazine similar to sig p365 or springfield hellcat. Of course i'd love if sig offered a new version of sig p239 and or p225 that takes p365 mags.

I have owned both a Glock and a HK but I prefer the UK. out of all the glocks that I have tried I really like th Glock 19. Great video bro keep it coming.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks buddy

[@kimrandall8135]

I prefer the H&K hammer fired, BUT the G 26 is not only lighter, but it is rounded and smoothed in all the right places. SO with that said, I would have to say that G26 is my choice for concealed carry. Just make sure it has that trigger guard covered with a product like the Blitz Holster BH-43 Trigger Guard Holster.

[@kimrandall8135]

IF I was to do open carry, I would prefer the H&K.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks Kim

[@bigB6flyer]

I enjoy carrying my P30sk v1. What after market baseplate are you using on your p30sk mags? Nice video.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Search it on ebay. Its right around $12

[@MPGunther1]

HK Parts also has them in milled aluminum instead of polymer that you might find on Ebay. Have both and nothing wrong with either

[@carolinabackwoodsgunclub6089]

the pinky extension that comes with the VP9 also works on the p30sk mags. I bought mine from midwayusa. They were $7.99 each. They are polymer and have the same grip pattern that the p30sk has on it.

[@krazy45cat]

I know these re my favorite reviews that you do .When you use the G26 or the G19 as a baseline ,its so easy to see the size and features on the other pistol . I carry my G26 in my EDC every day with 2 extra Glock mags with the Glock Plus 2 baseplate . On most of my Glocks I use the standard mag and add a gap enterprise base gives me a little something to hold my Glocks when I draw from CCW . so again 2 12 round mags in my bag and a 10rd in the G26 . I also carry 3-4 G19 mags a box of fifty rounds under the seat 1 happystick and 4 GI metal mags for my truck gun . And I have been wearing my G42 with the Taran Tactical plus 2 bases 8rd mags , I carry 9 in the G42 and a spare 8 round mag in my pocket everyday , Plus a few Blades :)))

Love your Vids Dan. Look forward to every single one. been eyeing the P30SK. Watching this I realized sometimes the plain Jane will get you where you need to be. G26 is a great platform. My Sig P320C .45 broke out of the box , ejector, and was ammo fussy for 600 rounds. My G30sf just runs everything I put in it. I just bought 3 more mags bringing me to 5 standard and 1 extended for it. My initial purchases were a shield and a several sigs .I think, despite youtube, that I am becoming a Glock fanboy . Sometimes simplest is best. Although if they come outwith a VP9SK I may change my tune. Hope the wife and daughter are well. God bless.

Great comment and insight. Nothing wrong with loving Glocks. Whatever works is what I say - God Bless

[@johnnydanger1305]

Where did you get the after market base plate for the hk?

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Do a search on ebay. They are around $12

[@joe1940]

I've never owned an HK handgun. I think I'll have to check one out. Great review.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks Joe

Greetings, my friend! I'd go with the HK too if money wasn't a critical factor. Love the mag releases like that of the HK's and the other features. Like you said (and I agree), there is not anything wrong at all with the Glock-it's just like vanilla ice cream for me, I like it but, I'd rather have the ice cream with something in it or a different flavor. Variety, the spice of life! Lol! Great job as always and thank you for the video! 😉 Take care and you guys are always in our prayers Dan. Your friend, The Rev.

[@tinafey4907]

Driver6647 Thank you very much Driver! I appreciate you taking the time to tell me that! Very kind of you and I wish you the best! 😀 Take care and I'll definitely check out your advice. The Rev.

[@tinafey4907]

Driver6647 Great quote and LMAO about the woman remark! 😅 Thanks again.Take good care of yourself brother and God bless you! The Rev.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks Rev, vanilla ice cream is a funny way to say it. I may use that in a future video - God Bless

[@tinafey4907]

TheFireArmGuy I'm just happy that I could give you something useful. 😀 Thanks again and you're more than welcome. Take care brother! The Rev.

Couple of nice ones!

Thanks Rich

Nice looking pistol, it caught my attention. Seems a good option for carry. Being 6.1 with hands going accordingly I was just wondering how I would fare with that short grip. I currently own a Beretta PX4 compact and I'm quite happy with it,it's just a bit on the fatty side.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

The PX4 is pretty sweet. The G26 is worth consideration

[@JJ.ermenegildofregna]

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the Px4 is a nice one, probably underated. I forgot to mention that it came to replace a G26. Don't like Glocks' grip,issues with feeding conicals and it was a bit too light for my taste. That's one thing I like about the PX4, it's heavy considering it's a compact. By the look of it the SK seems to have better ergonomics. No problem with shooting with my pinky under.

[@maldohan9097]

I agree Dan you make the best gun videos hands down brah.🇺🇸👍

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks so much Maldo

[@happyhaunter_5546]

Nice vid, however for constructive criticism (if such thing exists on interwebs) would have liked to have seen the Gen 4 Glock (even though being well aware that differences are negligible), as well as omitting Pierce grip extension to pit both products against one another as they come from factory.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Points well made

[@chrisandmyfriendmikegunran2260]

Both are really good I think if you look at the ergonomic features of it the HK is better and with the picatinny rail you get an instant upgrade for attachments so HK might win it

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I agree Chris - thanks man

[@chrisandmyfriendmikegunran2260]

TheFireArmGuy your welcome

[@CBBimmerM]

FYI, Hkparts.net has +1 and +2 mag extensions for the P30sk. I think the +1 is roughly the same size as the pinky extension you have now and the +2 isn't much bigger. Oh and great review too. :-)

[@johnnybeanz1296]

Hk takes a very dim view of aftermarket parts. I had a hk parts extended mag plate that did not lock into the mag. Hk now sells a great 13 round mag made by the company. My pistol is the decocker hammer fired model with manual safety. Fabulous.

[@alfe1402]

Maybe P30SK vs P99cAS would be a more fair comparison. 🔫

[@drumbergunnerer3162]

I'll say both are likely above average on reliability, but hey, a Glock is a Glock for dependability. If it's my option between the two, I'd have to go with the HK. Nothing against the Glock, but I have had 2 in the past (Glock 19 and 42). Both were great guns but I had issues with the grip angles (19 mostly). The trigger guard would cut into middle finger. I can't bash Glock tho. Excellent guns. Good stuff TheFireArmGuy thank you!

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Good stuff buddy. Many guys complain about the grip angle on Glock

[@armandomagallanez1116]

Great video, love my HK's.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks bud
