Any reason to get one over the other?

Get the one with the trigger you like best. Everything else is wash.

I like my p30sk LEM, but I’m thinking of selling it for the VP9sk just because I want a optics ready gun for my RMR

I have both and it’s pretty much a wash. The p30 is slightly smaller than the VP. It’s not enough to really matter but figured id mention it.

I have both. I shoot all versions of VP9 better than the P30's. I still prefer P30's. It's just a thing.

From UncleGreg’s noggin:
The proliferation of bureaucracy is escalating as political correctness continues to seek and destroy the last hints of efficiency. To wit: Liberalism TEACHES mental retardation. |

A vote for the P30sk, I am personally done with striker fired, going back to hammer fired.

I have a few different variants. The only reason. I own a VP9 match (the only VP9s I have are two match versions B and standard match) is because there isn’t a P30 match. I asked HK about it about a year ago and recieved a reply back from HK corperate that they saw zero reason to make a P30 match.
Heck I would like to have a P30L with an optic mount. My VP9M will have to suffice for German long slide goodness. As to OPs question. P30SK is awesome. If you get one with lower cap mags you can up date the mags with a $14 kit from KH to add two rounds without extending the mag. |

If it matters to you the P30sk is a smaller gun, a little more so when you get the LEM version.
I like the LEM version because I have the advantage of a striker fired gun with a light first round trigger and a good reset, with the greyguns short reset, and I like being able to put my thumb over the hammer while holstering the gun. Attached File |

I have no empirical evidence to support my opinion, but here it is any way:
Over the past 30+ years I have owned and/or used a significant number of HK firearms. Just today I tool a HK45 and HK45C to the range at lunch. Anyway, I have owned ONE VP model and while I thought it was more refined than a Glock, I felt it was not to the standard of care I see on HK's hammer fired handguns. My experience with HK hammer fired started in 1995 and continues to this day. I have zero interest in owning another VP while I have a Glock Gen 5 in my holster as I type. TLDR: P30SK (it is one of their best designs ever) |

Too bad they don't make the P30 optic cut.

As it gained popularity price went up to match or exceed p30 |

If HK makes a P30SK with an optic cut i'm in

Have both and have shot and carried da/sa pistols since the 80s. That being said I prefer the VP9 over the P30 which really surprises me.
