HK P30SK...THE PERFECT CARRY GUN

[@AdventuresofmalibuandDad]

I’ve been an active police officer for 37 years. By far the best pistol I own. This pistol hits high marks in all categories needed.❤

[@ramfactor7285]

I hunted down the HK p30 sk V3 model because I love the DA/SA. It did come with the tritium sights and a 3rd mag. I've owned mine for 4 years now and it's my primary carry. I'm really super impressed with the comfort and accuracy of this pistol and the style. I figured I'd have malfunctions with hollow points like I did with my Sig P229 but I've had nothing. I also purchased the HK pinkie extensions and this was an absolute game changer because it now feels like it melts into my hand. This pistol is my ride or die and I have no intention of ever getting rid of it.

[@rtucker1004]

I added pinky ext to two of my 10s, keeping one flat. I also have 13 and 15rd mags. The tritiums were worth the extra money for my LEM.

[@wolfpack4694]

That’s the version I’m thinking of. I have a VP9 and love it, but feel like a decocker and DA/SA is a better option for a carry weapon.

[@bblwarrantydepartment981]

Sigs are cheap

[@butchie2752]

I have the same pistol in this variant. I also use the sticky holster and the pinky extensions. By way of comparison I also have the hk 45 lem. Personally I prefer the p30sk. For one thing, you can carry it cocked and locked. Yes you can do that with the lem also but no safety except a longer trigger pull and no visible view that the hammer is cocked unlike an actual hammer. My other comment is that the p30sk to me is not a lot smaller than the p30 and about equal in conceal ability.

@@TheConcealedCarryChannel I have really enjoyed your content and detailed yet practical analysis of these firearms! My question is how does this HK compare to the popular Sig P365 series and Springfield Hellcat options for everyday CCW? I'm not overly concerned with round capacity but more with trigger feel, accuracy and minimal feed malfunctions... Thanks!

[@josesardinas7660]

Worth mentioning these things is by no means ammo picky. I've thrown at mine almost any kind of training and range ammo, and several carry brands/types and they handle everything flawlessly. This is a great gun and worth every penny.

I’ve watched this video many times I own a hk p30 sk lem and you hit it on the money about this weapon this is one of the best reviews on this gun!!!

[@jeffhill9089]

Initially bought a VP9 and an Sig 365 compact. Traded the Sig towards a P30SK. Was told at store I wouldn't like it but I love it. The VP9 and the P30Sk are awesome guns with great comfort, reliability and concealment ability.

[@SigAXG320]

did you get the p30sk with the LEM or DA/SA? I recently sold my 365xl as well-- didn't love it. Between the high bore axis and flat trigger, I never really got comfortable with that gun. I decided to enter the DA/SA world instead and get proficient with these guns and now own 3 CZ's. However, both the p-01 and p-07 are a bit bulky for CC, and I'm looking for a smaller option. Trying to decide between the p30sk LEM vs the p2000sk LEM (or DA/SA).

[@scooter5940]

@@SigAXG320 many people love the LEM because of the consistent and light (relative to DA, anyway) pull. I have the P30 sk in DA/SA, from LTT, so the trigger is great, but many find the stock trigger pull a sticking point with this version of the p30. Since you are committed to DA/SA with the CZ’s, you may want to at least try the DA/SA version. That said, not sure how much smaller and lighter it will be than the p-01. I also have the 365 xl and it is, of course, thinner, and lighter (and a bit taller) than the p30sk, and I seem to shoot it OK.

[@SigAXG320]

@@scooter5940 Thanks. I've thought about the LEM version and I know LTT does a great job with these guns' triggers, albeit at a sig cost. The p30sk and p2000sk both have shorter barrels c/w to the p01 and p07 CZ's so that's part of my reason: sub compact vs compact models. Also, I own a Sig229 DAK in 40 cal. Picked it up used at a great price and I love the trigger, which is the equivalent of the LEM by HK. But it does take a lot of practice to get used to for sure-- I'm not proficient yet. My CZ's in 9mm in SA mode are much easier to shoot.

[@paststeve1]

I love my P30 SK Light LEM with Tritium night sights. It is my EDC in a Safari OWB paddle with retention. My USP Compact .45 fits the same holster. I have about 2,000 rds through it from many manufacturers and have NEVER had a failure. I have found that the Federal 115gr ball and 115 Hydra Shock print nearly exactly the same. The pistol is a darling to shoot. Easy on the hands, accurate, 100% reliable (so far) and easy to carry concealed. I liked and subbed. Good luck with the channel; I'll be watching from here on out.

[@homerhaynes8866]

I have one and love it. So far, I am more comfortable with this as a ccw than any other I have tried. And I definitely disagree that it will become obsolete.

[@paulperez2477]

Purchased with red dot already installed. My top everyday carry and accurate

[@chaff5]

I have a P30L w/ the LEM and my opinion is the LEM is the perfect trigger. It provides the consistency of a striker or single action, the safety and restrike capabilities of a double action, and allows you to pin the hammer down while holstering.

[@dashcammer4322]

I prefer the V3 trigger, due to that heavy first round trigger pull that the LEM trigger lacks - but you're right, the LEM trigger P30 series also gives double-strike capability that the VP9 series lacks.

[@CRCCPastor]

Totally agree. Love this pistol. I have the much lighter p365 and Hellcat as well. Really like both. But I find myself reaching for this pistol just as often. Heavier and thicker but gives me confidence, both in the hammer in holstering, LEM trigger and recoil management. Carry it in a Hidden Hybrid or Stealthgear holster. Love the P30sk!

Newly converted to the da/sa p30sk. Carried cz p01/ sphinx sdp for years. I love the p30…. Smaller and lighter but it shoots like a full size pistol ( i completely agree). The euro mag release and decocker location is really growing on me too. I love my cz/ sphinxs but thie p30sk is the perfect carry pistol for me and am very happy i gave this pistol a chance

[@dj5943]

I have the variant 3 and love it. The only issue I have is the double action trigger pull is extremely long and heavy. But once you go into single action, it is the sweetest gun you’ll ever shoot. Also, it’s perfect for concealed carry.

[@keithgraham9547]

I shot a rental at the range last week to see if I liked it well enough to spend the $ on it. That DA pull, you really have to bear down. For the limited experience I had with it, I have to use different finger placement between the DA and SA to be accurate. I picked up a Glock 33 instead, the P30sk was 50% higher, and I have been looking for a 357 SIG. HK isn't making 357 SIG anymore. I have asked the store call me if they get a P2000sk and the price hasn't gone insane.

[@rtucker1004]

You need to experience the LEM trigger variant. It takes less than 5 lb to pull, completely emulating a striker fire trigger.

[@CamberFitness]

Using a full size USP for my home gun, and I think I’ll go with this for my carry. Thanks!

[@TheBoxingCannabyte]

I had to sell most of my collection when i took ill during the pandemic (and our wonderful healthcare system....) a collection I worked really really hard to get. Got the SK v3 for $500, sold a Glock 26 for that 100% worth it! Sold one of my Berettas to get a SIG P226 .40 DAK which convinced me I needed a 9mm da/sa SRT one, and the SK, of course, convinced me of getting the Longslide of the p30. I got a P2000 v1 LEM 9mm which is fantastic, let me dad use that for carry (right now a new beloved carry is a SIG P250 Compact and it is fucking fantastic with this wilson combat frame and a flat metal trigger also designed for the P360 or 365....the one the military adopted). Anyway.... Out of quite a few carry pieces (The Kimber K6 revolver and Chiappa White Rhino being two other favorites. P2000, Glock 19, even my SIG Scorpion full size 1911 were fun to carry, Colt M1991 Compact, etc...) but the HK P30sk, P2000 and SIG P250 (for semi autos) and White Rhino and K6 Snub .357 revolver, Ruger LCR and Smith 442 performance center for reovolvers. I don't mind the hammer on the white rhino, and the K6 i avery smooth DAO. if only every revolver was as smooth as the SIG DAK on the 250 and 226 DAK (250 is better actually). The P30SK in a V1 LEM would be my recommend for newbies, or a p2000 v1 LEM for slightly longer. I also found a custom 15 rounder sleeve that added a third finger groove so it felt like, oh, i forgot my favorite carry, and the one it feels like with the 15 round sleeve: SIG P220 Carry model, reg-size grip, compact slide. Actually a smidge slimmer on the slide than the p30 bue the .45 makes it about the same otherwise. I'd also say the sIG P225 a1 (or if you get lucky and find a W. German 225 specifically a P6) would be a MUST HAVE.,

[@DIYDad1]

I’ve gone back and forth between should I get a LEM or v3. Still haven’t decided yet. My local store has a v3 right now and I’m so tempted to get it but at the same time some people say the V1 light LEM is better so I’m just not sure and haven’t had a chance to feel the LEM for myself yet. What do you like about the v3 that’s better for you?

[@Catgat37]

@@DIYDad1 I like having the external hammer. But I also found that the SK was not my cup of tea. Although it is a very well made firearm, I didn't care for the snappiness (as it has a very high bore axis) I went with a Sig P365 XL and I am adequately satisfied......but am getting a Staccato C2 soon.

[@eg7381]

The LEM and the DA/SA is fantastic.

[@bcreative83]

@@Catgat37 I know that I'm late to post but have a question for you. When you say the p30sk was snappy, are you referring to muzzle flip or the felt recoil (thump in the hand)? The Glock 26 can sting your hands a little bit if you shoot for a long period of time compared to a something like a CZ 75 Compact steel frame which you could shoot for long time with no issues. I've shot the Sig p365 XL and thought that it would be the perfect carry gun due to its size but I prefer hammer fired weapons for ccw. I've never fired a p30sk and I'm trying to get feedback before I purchase.

[@Catgat37]

@@bcreative83 Felt recoil was okay. Muzzle flip was what I was referring to. I just have weird feelings about subcompact pistols. I will be trying a cz p10s next.

[@cbwelch4]

Well done video. A long time ago I passed up on a P30SK for a M&P9c, both excellent carry firearms.. At the time, the M&P’s ergos shined and it was a tad bit easier to conceal for me. As in a lot of cases like this, I wanted both. I don’t regret the 9c, but I always wondered about the road less travelled. I’ve carried it a fair amount. But I’ve always had the P30 in my head, fast forward until this year. My buddy had one in his store and I grabbed it. It is a V3. I do t have the LEM trigger but it is very smooth just really long. I shoot it well. It is a bit thick in the butt, but not outrageously so. I’ve heard you can get the trigger tuned. I might look into that. I wound up dropping an Apex trigger into the M&P and it makes a huge difference. I’ve heard ppl complain about the decocker and although it is in a weird place, it is easy to engage once you get used to it. It isn’t really a deal breaker for me. When you use it you usually aren’t under pressure: would prefer they went Sig’s way and just threw the night sights onto it, even though the stock glow sights are serviceable. I think I’ll throw a tru glow front sight onto it.

[@l-mac5105]

The Walther P99c is a great subcompact pistol for carry also. It has the Walther AS trigger system the same as the 99AS. The magazine from the 99AS will fit the subcompact model. Also, there is a grip sleeve adapter that Walther makes that slides onto the bigger mag that gives you a full size grip when the mag is inserted into the 99c.

[@rtucker1004]

I love, love love my P30SK V1 LEM with tritium sights. The LEM trigger is like pulling a striker fire, but with a hammer. I added pinky grips to all three 10rd mags for a better grip, and also purchased a 13rd mag. Looking for a 15rd. I use a Vedder LightTuck holster, which allows me to deep-carry AIWB under a tucked-in dress shirt or when casually dressed. Administering the trigger to remove a slide is a common reason for a negligent discharge. My friend has a 9mm slug sitting next to her spine because of her EX-boyfriend's error with his Glock. There is no trigger pull required to strip the slide from a P30SK. Thumb on the hammer when holstering is also a great mitigation to avoiding a negligent discharge from a snagged trigger. There is also a variant with a safety for those who prefer a safety, but it will be a DA/SA not a LEM.

Love your videos. For the AIWB CC crowd (who prefer a “thumb on hammer when re-holstering” option and who favor the grip angle and quality of the Sig and HK options,) I’d love to see you do a comparison between the P30SK LEM versus the Sig P250 DAO subcompact… Or the P30 LEM versus the P250 DAO compact. The cost difference for an AIWB self-defense carry gun is significant between these subcompact options, and it seems like it’s a worthwhile consideration to look at both. While you lose some things on the Sig (sculpted ergonomics, paddle release, shorter reset and lighter follow up shots) with the 250 you gain a MUCH more affordable gun, modularity options, 2 more rounds in the subcompact setup, and infinitely more accessories available in light of the P320 line.

I’ve carried the P30SK for over six years, since my job has me either on the move or sitting in a car/at a desk I’ve been very happy with carrying it in Sticky brand holster. My one real complaint about the firearm is the seemingly small choice in light options. The best options, that I’ve found/tried at least, are the Streamlight TLR-7/8 and the Olight PL-Mini 2. I’ve stuck with the PL Mini 2 but had to cut and smooth the lip of the holster on the side with the lights quick release catch. It kept getting caught on the holster bringing up every time I would practice drawing. After my trimming the gun comes out nice and smooth. It’s always good to practice drawing from your holster, you don’t want to find out about any issues when you _really_ need your system to work.

My carry. I have big hands... so nice...I don't like striker fire pistols... I carry appendix.... no safety... don't need it.. . Not gonna shoot yourself like a striker fire Glock ...

can you carry this gun if you are a very skinny dude... I want one but I am worried about that

Wish the HK P30SK would take the .45 ammo and 9mm ammo like the P30 does .....

I jus bought a P30SK today at the gun show and yea this gun in a .45 would be sweet

[@paulhermanson1688]

You ever try the Vp9sk, if so how does it compare to the P30sk?

[@TheConcealedCarryChannel]

I have shot the VP9sk. It is a very good shooting pistol, I prefer hammer fired to striker fired if I have the option, but they are both great shooters.

[@AJ-gk7bn]

HK makes top tier quality guns. They’re just always 10 years behind.

[@rtucker1004]

I have the P30sk LEM. It gives you an easy trigger like a striker fire, double action double strike capability, and the security of reholstering with your thumb on the hammer to mitigate a ND.

How do you feel about the LEM trigger in HK’s?

[@TheConcealedCarryChannel]

Love it. I am a bit biased in this regard, because I carried a USP .40 with a LEM trigger as a duty weapon and loved it too.

[@butchie2752]

Couldn’t stand it and sold the 45sk that had it. Vastly overcompensated for the long reset. Vastly prefer v3 with cocked and locked when necessary.

[@kalebcathey7397]

Will the p30 take the usp magazine’s?

[@rtucker1004]

No. The P30SK mags are the same as VP9SK mags. P30 mags = VP9 mags. Most online vendors cross-tag these.

What holster do you recommend for IWB?

[@TheConcealedCarryChannel]

I normally carry this gun IWB using a Sticky MD-4. It’s one of the most comfortable setups I’ve ever carried. Sticky holsters are not everyone...if retention is important you will want to use something else.

[@theguyinmaine]

Not a good demo of the trigger. When the firearm is racked, it cocks the hammer, though it settles back in the frame so it not in the way if drawn. The long pull on the trigger has no resistance to speak of until you hit the wall. You will see the hammer go back in the long pull, but it is going back to where it was set when racked. Then you hit the wall, easy to find, no guessing or hoping. From there the pull is short and crisp with enough resistance so you know your there. The reset is very short because it has pre cocked again when fired. No need to release the trigger all the way out, only to the wall and it clicks, ready to go. If for some reason you fire and your ammo doesn't go off, there will be a firm pull the full length because you are cocking the hammer with the trigger like a double action revolver, but you get second strike capabilities. The paddle mag release I use my trigger finger so the firearms stays in the fire position, the slide release is long so it's easy to reach and takes no effort, once again staying in the fire position. When holstering you can put your thumb over the hammer, and it will not move if the trigger is caught on something. Everything about this pistol makes it my last.

Federal makes a 124 grain HST that matches perfectly with American Eagle 124 gr fmj. Neither is +P. They both hit the same point. However good luck finding either in-stock.

[@LoneStarLawman]

P2000 9mm LEM is better, IMO.

[@arikjohnson412]

P30SK with threaded barrel!

[@mwbeck]

When I saw the title of this video I figured it must be 4 or 5 years old. Because 4 or 5 years ago you could make a good argument about why a P30SK is a really good carry gun compared to a Glock 26 or other subcompacts. But now? The Glock 26 and 19, and this little P30SK are mostly obsolete. The micro sub compact range of pistols like the P365, Hellcat, the taurus something or other, and now the Ruger Max 9, and M&P Shield plus give you all the capacity in much less weight in a much thinner package. Back when then P30SK was new if you wanted a smaller thinner package you had to go single stack like a PPS. Thats not the case anymore. If you like the gun and want to carry it, great. It would work well as a companion gun to a P30 or P30L. What you should be arguing is, is the P30SK still even relevant?

[@TheConcealedCarryChannel]

You are overlooking a lot of factors that people consider when choosing a carry gun. A lot of shooters have larger hands, or simply don't feel like they can solidly grip some of the smaller offerings you mentioned. Also, this channel is not just about the latest and greatest little guns on the market. We will review pretty much anything that is a carry contender that viewers request. I think we can just agree to disagree. Thanks for watching anyway!

[@adrianfernandez7881]

Have you seen the Mossberg MC2C? It's very nice.

[@Rossski]

Lots of people, myself included, like the extra peace of mind that hammer-fired and, in particular, the LEM style trigger provides. If you're someone who wants the added safety of being able to hold your finger over the hammer when reholstering then the P30SK or P2000SK are pretty much your only options.

[@chucknorris5141]

@@TheConcealedCarryChannel add in people like me who's max capacity is 10 rounds - in NY. I just purchased my first HK - a P30L. I love that gun. I don't carry it. My current carry is a Glock 48, Walther PPS or a Sig P365. I look forward to adding this SK to my safe and put it into my carry rotation. Great review and video. Thank you.

[@Hialeah1925]

The G19 and G26 may be obsolete but not the P30sk. The LEM trigger is unique and the ergonomics are unmatched on the P30sk.

[@teller1290]

Pardon my dumbness but I see no hammer I thought P-30 was hammer -fired.

[@scooter5940]

You didn’t watch the video. This p30 variant is DAO. You do not really see the hammer until the tiger is pulled.

[@rtucker1004]

It is. The LEM V1 (shown) has a bobbed hammer that is cocked only by cycling the slide. The DA/SA V3 has a traditional hammer that you can cock with your thumb or the slide.
