The p30 is by far the best gun I have shot. I own a p30s in .40s&w. The first 100-150 rounds made me worry because of the snappiness of the 40 but now I blow all my friends away at shooting. Love mine so much I'm going to get the P30L in 40 soon.

[@Spamsmoothie1701]

I think it's important to note that this gun has multiple variants and the HK P30S is one of the few guns that allows you to carry cocked and locked like a 1911 and thus effectively get used as a single action only gun rather than a DA/SA system. This gun is about options and it has them in spades. The switch from DA to SA is one thing Hickock45 complains about but that switch can be avoided on the P30S or LEM/DAO variants.

[@YZER19]

It can be avoided at this version as well.

[@YZER19]

The gun is dumbed down when it comes to the handling. Law enforcement type of gun.... nough said. Could have been so much greater of a gun. Mag release in the trigger guard....come on HK. I love you but this is just laughable

Man, a lot of these videos on here talking about the p30 and the “terrible trigger” being the reason they can’t hit anything. Hicock steps up and proceeds to nail everything including the gong consistently. I was debating if I should grab one of these, this video proved it’s entirely the shooter. Seems like a gun that takes practice, I’m up for the challenge, thanks for the video.

@ThePlatonicRomance, That would probably be preferable, except I'd prefer the trigger break further forward, as like a 1911, at least in my large hand.

[@robertmoffatt]

Does the trigger have a ramp up near the break point? My HK45 does that, and I really like it. The experts say that the break is supposed to come as a surprise, but I like that feedback letting you know when you are about to break. Like learning the clutch on a stick shift in a car.

Hello Hickok45: First of all: Once again a truly great video of yours!Always a pleasure to watch. I own several H6Ks like the Expert in 45 with the 9 mm changing system and the P 30L with the longer barrel. Their slightly better concerning accuracy than the Glock 17 I also own. The Glock has a longer life than the H&Ks, but I like both brands. The P 30 is a derivative of the P 2000, and this was build up from the USP. The factory is about 30 mls from here in the Black Forrest.

Your message is not very clear, but I'd say it's just a fact that most people who can afford either H&Ks OR Glocks, choose Glocks. I could have every H&K in their line-up, but instead I have Glocks. Price is irrelevant to me in a pistol choice; I just want the most reliable, shootable, size-efficient, gun I can find.

[@billbob4585]

I wonder how well this comment aged

[@ErichRahm84]

I have several H&K's and I've found that it's easiest for me to hit the mag release with the middle finger of my trigger hand. This let's me keep the gun on target while reloading. I can't hit the release with my thumb; my thumb just isn't long enough to reach it.

[@katieyoder2192]

i agree 100% i use my middle finger as well, for it being a full size firearm, smaller handed people have a hard time using the trigger guard mag release with out having to reposition your grip every time. i love my p30s but its not very practical for concealed carry. it's a bit to big for that. im lookiing into either a glock 26 gen 4 or the springfield xds 9m for my personal carry gun.

[@ErichRahm84]

Katie Huber both are good carry options. I myself often carry a glock 27. If you like the p30 though, you might take a look at the HK p2000sk as a carry option. This has been my primary EDC for 5 years and I couldn't be happier with it.

[@katieyoder2192]

Erich Rahm I have yet to locate a P2000sk to get my hands on, but of the Glock and Springfield, I like the Glock's grip better. The Springfield seems to feel rather "edgey" or "blocky" in the grip but the Glock seems to fit a little better in my hand and with the reversible mag release I can get use the same technique I have with the p30, with the 26. i.e middle finger mag release. But if I could find the P2000sk I would certainly consider another piece of German perfection :) I would like to add a Glock to my collection though.

[@ErichRahm84]

Katie Huber I picked my p2000sk up off of grabagun.com several years back. Since then, 3 of my friends have bought them after shooting mine. They're almost impossible to find in a store in order to hold one or shoot one though. I wish you luck.

Hi, I'm a lady and I have the HK VP 9. I love it, however it is too big for myself to carry. Have you shot the HK p30 SK? I'm interested in it for carry. Thank you.

[@brennenmunro499]

Hi Mary, I have the HK P30sk and I am very happy with it. It is my edc pistol and I am amazed at just how well it shoots to be a sub-compact pistol. I also have the HK P30, both of mine are double/single with the safety, so the manual of arms is the same for them both. I do not find the weight (24oz) to be too heavy, and I also find that the pistol is not "snappy" like so many compact and sub-compact pistols tend to be. That was the deciding factor for me, as I wanted an edc that I could shoot on a regular basis, and not have it beat up my hand trying to shoot an unpleasant pistol. I have large hands so I added the plus-1 extension from HK and it makes a big difference also by giving my "pinky finger" somewhere to rest. Try to find a way to shoot one before you purchase... Check with your local range, or even ask in one of the gun forums if there is someone close by you that could meet you at a range to give you the chance to shoot one. Most gun folks are willing to let someone interested in the same type of gun that they have shoot it to see if it is something they would like, so do not be afraid to ask! Good luck, and I wish you success in your search. One last thing, my wife loves both the P30 and the P30sk, so there is at least one female vote of liking them! Munro

[@riflemann14]

@EverythingisFire You can trust the decocker. I have never heard of one failing, not H&K, nor any other manufacturer either. In addition to the decocker safely lowering the hammer, there's a firing pin block that obstructs the pin from going forward unless the trigger is pulled back. That means the decocker and firing pin block would have to malfunction for it to possibly discharge. It's good practice to keep it pointed it in a safe direction when you do decock, just to "feel" completely safe.

Considering a threaded model doesn't exist (only a prototype manufactured after the movie - after a rise in interest) and considering that it's a Hollywood production... it only makes sense that they didn't spend the time and money to R&D a threaded and functional compensator for the film. The only other compensator that exists mounts to the front accessory rail and it looks completely different.

[@aussiesoldier0177]

TheNajSD negative...we have threaded models here in Australia, we need to because of barrel length restrictions, P30l barrel is 111.3mm, we need to have a 120mm barrel so our P30's have a threaded barrel

of course you can do that. i work at hk we do these tests with the guns, especially because we offer them to millitary forces and to special units of the police. we also offer a special kit that includes a holster and a cable gun holder, in cobination of those two its impossible that you drop it.

Hellow hickok45,...As usually your videos are awsome, I never miss anyone. I would like to ask you a question about guns,...Is it normal for a handgun a play between the slide and the polymer frame ??

the sound of bullets hitting steel is music to my ears

8:06 Wonder if anyone noticed that? Hk's automatically chamber when a new magazine is inserted :) Takes a bit of force He looks kinda stunned afterward like "what just happened" Good guns :)

+Jason Ries I've never understood the criticism of these sights - they're daytime sights that are designed to be very prominent and easy for the eye to pick them up, even in low lighting - they're not night sights! From what I've read online, people seem to think they're a lame version of night sights.

@hickok45 I have the P30 with the "LEM" (Variant 2) trigger which would be much more similar to your Glock trigger. It's a 7.42 lb trigger pull that's exceptionally smooth, and it's much smoother than my M&P 40, for comparison. The ergonomics are definitely what make this gun superb; you hit the nail on the head with that one. (FWIW, I picked mine up for 25% less than you stated in the video). I can say truthfully that this pistol, with the LEM trigger, is the only pistol I carry these days.
