[@eastwestandtherest5353]

Thanks for a great video about a great pistol! FWIW, if your P30LS is in fact an original LEM with safety, it's actually a pretty rare item. Only about 500 were ever released in the US, supposedly from a contract overrun for a European police agency. The standard HK LEM guns do not have manual safeties at all, so this small batch is a serious novelty item of HK fans. HK USP and HK45 series pistols can be converted to LEM with a safety by HK, but the conversion on the P30 series (while technically possible) is not an HK authorized mod, so the company won't perform it and if a gunsmith or owner does it, it will void the warranty. You can easily check with HK to see if yours is one of the rare original ones. Contrary to what people say, and what was once true, HK doesn't think you suck or hate you. :) Their customer service is actually really, really good these days.

[@nfaisnfgay]

>If you do this basic mod, it voids your warranty >Contrary to what people say… HK doesn’t think you suck or hate you Sounds like they hate you and if you do minor changes they want nothing to do with you. CZ’s you can change decockers and safetys and you’re okay, and M17’s you can rip the safety out of and you’re still cool with SIG. HK seems to have a market for men who like to be degraded

Love the HK series. The mag release thing only exits if you remove the magazine. Once a mag is in the gun, the mag "up-tilt" goes way. I notice this on my HK45 and figured it out.

[@tidefanyankee2428]

Walther has a paddle mag release on some of their pistols as well. Some believe that the paddle is more practical, especially for law enforcement/military. If a cop is fighting with someone rolling around on the ground the "button" release you see in other weapons could be depressed and release the mag. Same with military who might be crawling on the ground or if they have to hit the deck suddenly. The paddle eliminates that from happening. Just something to think about.

[@peterpiper3790]

totally bro

[@RyanZNO]

This was one of the first guns I ever fired at a range, absolutely loved it over everything else I tried. First gun I ever bought, and it's never getting sold!

[@monarchco]

The safety is there for a reason. It's the same way on the USPs, P2000, etc. The reason its there, and made so that you DON'T rest your thumb on it while shooting, is because for all the versions with SA and a decocker, the decocker is built into the safety, and is done by going from safe, to fire, past fire, and down all the way. EDIT: lol? 700-1000 rounds with 0 malfunctions? An HK USP will do about 30-35,000 rounds between malfunctions(that aren't related to ammo defects anyways - e.g. rounds with improperly seated primers) A P30 will do about 25-30k between malfunctions. Both of those numbers are from testers who only cleaned their firearms a dozen or so times total through 90+ thousand round tests. You have a LONG way to go before malfunctions... > P30 came before the VP9.

[@patrickkelly8095]

TheSkiingJeep I’ve got 15,000 rounds through my USP compact without a single malfunction. Cleaned it once because I was bored. My friend is SWAT team has put over 40k through and no malfunctions with zero cleans. They just don’t stop firing.

[@TeensierPython]

I thought the p30 had a button on the back of the slide for the decocker

[@K_G_1]

@@TeensierPython correct. On the P30 series pistols, the decocker is a separate button on the rear just like you said. It's not at all connected to the safety.

[@AllenGray47]

One of my favorite things about the club scene(because I'm autistic like that and hate "bottomless magazines" in movies) they actually kept track of his shots during the whole fight starting with 16+1 and having reloaded on half empty mags when entering a new area, then using those up too.

[@timyang4710]

Great review! I've always been a great fan of HKs. My favorite is the HK45 and the compact version for carry.

[@ahernandez9860]

Love my P30L as a left handed shooter, controls are perfect for me. At least 7000 rds down range, zero problems. Initial break in required 147 grain approx 4-500 rds. Really feels great in the hand. My VP9 is also another great gun from HK, the lower bore axis really lets me shoot more accurate with quicker follow up shots. Great overview as usual!

[@CR-pl1xr]

Newbie here. Why do you need to use 147 grain for initial break in?

[@sammyg4806]

@@CR-pl1xr Most people use 124gr to break in their gun. If needed. Do some research on your particular gun model. But in my experience, modern duty guns like the Glock 19, and P320 didn’t need a break in period. My Glock 19, P320, and Glock 30 have worked flawlessly out of the box with both defense and ball factory ammunition of different grains.

[@WTFisTingispingis]

Aaron Diaz I had a vp9 and sold it great gun but too big to conceal carry, more of a duty size/bed side gun imo.

[@-Opiate-]

Had a USP 9 a few years ago I bought new and shot thoroughly for about 2yrs. I've owned a 226, Hi-Power, and of course a model 92; I realize personal preference is what it comes down to with pistols like these, true classics. But the HK always was my favorite. Very accurate, decocker (standard on USP), hi-cap..... absolute top tier pistol, price point aside. So after seeing the 'legacy' of the USP with this pistol, I have zero doubt about it's capability, period. HK makes awesome shit.

[@nuancolar7304]

I haven't shot the P30, but I liked the H&K VP9 so much I bought the smaller VP9SK as my warm-weather carry gun (carry the VP9 with heavier clothing). I have Glocks, 1911s, M&Ps, etc. and all are fine guns...but the H&K, for me, delivered accuracy, reliability, ergonomics and trigger that were just the right mix.

[@martinnegrete4636]

Thanks Outlaw, Ive recently been going through reviews of the P30L and other HK firearms. And your videos are by far the best. Thank you for not showing another video of just your hands like many others do and actually displaying the firearm from different angles. Good job!

[@chaff5]

I realize this is an older video but I just got myself a P30L also and I noticed that the mag release only has that snagging point against your trigger finger when the mag isn't in the firearm. Having a mag lowers the lip of the release just enough so that it's in-line with the trigger guard.

[@blazerk9614]

Thank you, same as the hk 45

[@neilhaupt489]

For those considering this weight, note that it has a plastic retaining clip on the bottom that is prone to snapping off. I'd recommend picking up their aluminum rail adapter in addition to replace this piece or to, instead, go with another brand like IMM.

Making shots at 100 seemed fairly easy too. I wish the capacity was slightly higher on each pistol but, overall I can’t complain. Never a single malfunction with mine either.

[@FizzyP]

It IS a compensator. It's basically an AK style slant brake of a slightly different flavor. Pressured gas exiting the barrel pushes on the bottom of that trough but there's no compensating force from the other direction. So it pushes the barrel down and reduces muzzle flip. It's not just a weight. It's a compensator.

Oh and yes, the V1 is an LEM trigger, or “law enforcement modification” trigger. I describe it as a “single action / double action trigger”, basically a long takeup clean breaking single action trigger with a secondary strike capability. Giving you striker like consistency, but still being able to hit a round again if it didn’t go off the first time. Which in a defensive/combat firearm is a feature I think of as extremely desirable.

[@rustknuckleirongut8107]

They issued this gun in the no external safety version to the Norwegian police. It did not take long for the police to rack up a 10-1 ratio of shooting themselves, locker rooms, mirrors and squad cars vs. shooting bad guys. The lack of external safety and magazine safety made this gun very dangerous for a police force that has as little firearms training as the Norwegian one.

[@CARLHAYES1979]

Rustknuckle Irongut I thought they did compulsory national service in Norway?

[@rustknuckleirongut8107]

These days very few serve as they are moving to a more professional based military for the sharp edge of the sword and even back when the numbers were bigger only a few got proper firearms training other than shooting rifles at static targets on a range. Technically there is still compulsory service, but only about 10% are drafted each year. Even with military training just a few trained with handguns and even fewer ever had to deal with a pistol with one in the chamber everyday.

I used this video for part of decision making for my FIRST GUN. After long consideration I “pulled the trigger” no pun intended and went with the P30L .40S&W with the safety & the decocker as my EDC pistol. I was afraid the size was gonna be a lot for a first timer, but it’s awesome and I got a Tulster holster, it’s not many holster options like other models, but I like my holster. I’ve had this gun for about a year, I love it, I mean it’s John wicks gun with a lil extra sauce being a .40S&W. I’ve put 100’s of rounds through it and it’s never jammed, went to the range with the guys and the beretta jammed, & the Glock jammed, but not the H&K. You pull this baby out and you can tell it means business! I was afraid of running one in the chamber but the strong trigger being over 10lbs made me feel at ease and I learned that it’s nothing to be afraid of, besides not being prepared. Only down side is that now I love HK weapons and with spend a lot of money with them. 😢 Oh yeah my buddy DID NOT realize at first that it was a .40S&W and loaded a 9mm. While it shot, the sound was different which made me realize something was off, but we’re good😂

[@AugustZabladowski]

First of all it was a TTI-modified Glock, and the only reason it was there (along with the TTI AR and the TTI Benelli) is because that movie is a commercial for Taran Butler's fat ass. It's a piece of garbage film and an insult to its predecessor, to say the least.

[@sean7456]

John Wick maybe I should have clarified, "pretty cool FOR A GLOCK."

[@timjusttim233]

John Wick butthurt much ?

[@Spectre361]

Sean generally speaking what is wrong with Glocks?

[@markpaolino4264]

Great Review as usual. I am looking at one from Langdon Tatical with the light LEM trigger and no safety. I was a DOD LEO, and we went to 40 S&W witch I grew to really like. It just has good stopping power and reallty good on barriers. Some of the special operations in the sand box box went with H&Ks and said they were absolutely indestructible. We actually had H&K G-36s on post and they were beasts. They were a little heavy, but we had them on post and did not have to hump them for any distance.

Great handgun, John Wick endorsement aside, thanks for sharing!

[@rdizzo1313]

I have the V3. Best of BOTH WORLDS… If you are confused and Right Handed the V3 is the best way to go… Wikipedia this and scroll down to “Variants” then pick which one you want… ((Be careful which one you order…)) Be sure to order the correct UPC/Model#… Im a Right hander… Mine was the V3 Safety on the Left/Right side of the gun. With a De-Cocker on the left side of the hammer.. Hope this helps my right handed buddies that want this gun with all the bells and whistles.. Thanks HK for giving us options… WE ALL APPRECIATE THIS…👍🏽

I like my Wick Stick more each time I shoot it. The only con is the slide gets hot after a few magazines and no other gun known gets as hot as this one does.

[@rafaelalodio5116]

The P30 is also Halkeye secondary weapon, if anyone cares.

[@tupapito3430]

Actually... No one does .-.

[@frankiegunnz8066]

Rafael Alódio ......What are you talking about?......Halkeye never uses a gun In any comic. Not even M.A.S.H.'s Halkeye which Is a soldier uses a gun.......lol

[@rafaelalodio5116]

He uses in the movie, Age of Ultron if I'm not mistaken.

[@frankiegunnz8066]

Rafael Alódio Really In what scene? I don't remember him using any gun.

[@rafaelalodio5116]

Frankie Gunnz, it satay in his holster most of the time, but there is a scene which he shots a ground of glass that Quicksilver is standing, then it have a slow mention scene of the bullet passing in front of his eyes and he falls and then Hawkeye says "You didn't saw that coming".

[@fearnonebutone4977]

Put the GrayGuns short reset in it. Makes a HUGE difference.

John Wick also used a sexy AR15....but this hand gun is nice for sure and 3 magazines come with it! love it....that alone is a huge plus point...

[@suntzuwu]

Good shooting! Heard a ping for every shot, even the long range stuff. Well done.

[@jonnyparsons7171]

I have the P2000 with the LEM trigger and I really like the safety and the feel of the pull. They decock after every shot.

[@Banshee365]

If that trigger is factory that gun is pretty rare. They only imported 500 P30LS-V1's.

[@kirrich9441]

During the firearm/ammo shortage of early 2013, the last firearm and ammo on the shelves of my local LGS was .40 cal. Prior to that, most people would say that 9mm being the most popular, it would be the last to disappear from the shelves. WRONG! People bought up as much as they could carry out the door. Anyways, I decided the next firearm I would buy would be in .40 cal. After checking many different firearms, I felt the H&K P30 would work best for me. Luckily the one available was an 'L' and a v.1. Ergonomically it was the best firearm I ever held in my hand until I bought a Browning HP. While I do have a .45, I think the H&K .40 is a nice complement to my collection...ie. 9mm, .40 and .45. As stated by another, the only problem I have with it is my fingers are not long enough to reach the magazine release. Other then that, a truly great gun! ...I figured out to drop the magazine, to use my trigger finger instead of my thumb!

[@joemilner7710]

I thought the same thing about the trigger pull , but it has a very crisp feel to it

[@derekslonaker7424]

One of my HK carries is a P30SK-S with an XS 24/7 Big Dot sight, with a Sig FOXTROT 1 Light, stoked with Barnes TAC-XP +P 115 GR HP. It accepts and I carry my USP Compact extended mags for it. I really like this combo. I wish my USP-C's could have their rails remolded without having to use adapters. The P-30's corrected that issue. The ONLY striker fired gun I trust is my PSP. 😉

[@pollodormido2]

Now I have to buy another gun Damn! I just bought a baby Desert Eagle! Have to start saving money again!

[@jas_bataille]

Aaaaaaaah do NOT call a Jericho 941 a "baby Desert Eagle" :O It's have NOTHING to do with a Desert Eagle, maybe a very slight visual similarity. It is based on the CZ-75, and was nick-named the "baby Desert Eagle" because the Desert Eagle was really popular at the time when IMI (Israeli Military Industries) spliced and created IWI (Israeli Weapon Industries) which would be branch selling to the civilian market. Relating the Jericho to the Desert Eagle was a cringe marketing move. Sorry to sounds like a snob douche about the Jericho but that al-ways makes me cringe xD

[@larryburne3068]

Ironically, H&K actually makes the compensator for the P30L that John Wick actually uses. It's on the same site as where you can get the Match Weight from.

[@stever8776]

I have the P30L version with the decocker in the back of the slide. That way I can carry cocked and locked. The trigger is better than LEM trigger. And when I put off safe I don't have to worry about pushing the lever too far and decocking it. The safety works fine with my 1911 thumb. The magazine release is a little too different. I took a nail file and smoothed out the rough edges around the trigger Guard and also widened the area around the magazine releases making it a lot easier to use. This is one of my new favorite HKs. Cheers

[@mcsc730]

This guy gets it. I have P30S and carry the same way.

[@shanetigue8048]

My wife has a P99 with the paddle mag release. She uses the thumb on her off hand to hit the paddle as she is reaching for her next magazine. It works Great.

[@markalan3108]

you might have talked me into a 9MM other then a S&W M&P model. nice review

[@mickwells9431]

Great video Outlaw. I have 2 P30's 4" in 40 and like them both very well. One is a variant 1 and the other is a variant 3. Tthe LEM trigger is so sweet but being a da/sa fan I don't mind the traditional trigger either. I've never had a failure of any and both shoot extremely well. My only complaint about them is the curved trigger angle. I'd prefer a little less curvature but it ain't nothing but a minor annoyance. I purchased both at $570.00 each. That was a steal cause everywhere else they where in the $780- $930 range. Keep shooting your John Wick special and keep those videos coming even though LubeTube has royally screwed you. Later man.

[@pledgegamer]

When you insert a magazine the mag release lever does not stick up as high

[@OuterHeavenNET]

I own an H&K vp9. My favorite handgun that I own.

[@other9293]

The mag release goes flush when you place a mag in the pistol, so did you really have an issue while shooting, or just when playing with your unloaded pistol?

[@michaelnice93]

Ya who holds their gun at a downward angle while shooting- that was just BS.

[@FrankbullittSFPD]

When a round is chambered, the mag release is flush with the trigger guard.

Love the review, I have to add though, you're a helluva shot!

[@mcedd54]

You finger will not contact the mag release when there is a magazine in the pistol. Without one inserted, the paddles ride a little high and your finger can rub. You'll only notice this while dry firing with the magwell empty.
