I am currently hunting for one now. I love the grip and they are very accurate. If you like the grip and how it shoots your biggest choice will be which trigger to get.

I've had a chance to fire a P30 twice. I really like that pistol. I think it may have the best ergonomics I've felt in a pistol in it's class. I am concerned by how many barely used P30's I have seen for sale. Makes me wonder if I am missing something.

One thing I do keep seeing is people complaining about the rough grip rubbing them raw when CCW. Also It is a a decent sized pistol might not be to easy to CCW extremely well. This is all a guess since I havent gotten mine yet just what Iv read on HKPRO.

You dont see many for sale because they are phenomenal firearms. I got one recently after a LOOOONG departure from H&K, and I am glad I returned. Its a wonderful handgun. |

I have had my P30 for a little over 2 years now. I carry it everyday in a Galco IWB holster. No problems with it at all. Great handgun and very accurate. It came with some night sights on it that have held up well too. Hardly any wear on the slide as well. I live in FL and its T-shirt weather everyday and I have no problem concealing it. 15+1 and 2 extra magazines.

That's the opposite of what I've seen. They turn up fairly often at the local gun stores. I missed a two month old 9mm version for $750 locally last month. Pissed about that. Last month there were four on the first page of the handgun section of the EE. These were on the first page today as I typed this. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_7_88/1011916_WTS___HandK_P30L_V3__DA_SA__9mm___Price_Drop__.html http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_7_88/1008615_HK_P30_V2__40_LEM.html Not sure why that is. Like I said I was impressed by the handgun but decided to wait for a used one as they turn up often at a fair discount. |

About a year ago I found a barley use HK P30 9mm at a local gun shop for a very good price. In fact I was fooled for a while actually believing it was brand new...it looked that good. I bought it and I'm glad I did. If I could change anything it would have the LEM trigger. Since that purchase I've also acquired an HK45C and a P2000 in 40S&W both with LEM trigger. HK is a fine firearm and for a person like me, who is left handed, I get a pistol that is completely ambidextrous and is the definition of reliability.

I carry a P30 everyday. I switched from a P2000 because the P30 held more rounds and was only a hair bigger.
I have no issues with it rubbing my skin and I carry it in a Comptac MTAC. |

IMHO, the HK P30 is the finest production handgun on the planet today. Bar none.
Mine has been 100 % reliable with a variety of fmj and jhp ammo for three years, is easy to shoot accurately and can be made to fit any hand with the adjustable grip panels. I love this pistol:

I love mine, good thing since I could have gotten two others for the price of the one H&K.

Best ergos out of the box of any pistol, bar none.
Get the LEM trigger. The DA/SA trigger is workable, but not really all that good. v4 LEM is pretty damn awesome. |

Wish our military goes this route for the next go around since we'll probably stick with 9mm.

By the time the US Military is ready for a new service side arm civilians will already have phased plasma pistols in the 10 gigawatt range.

Can't wait to hit the range tomorrow, this thing feels great and points beautifully. |

I just sold my v3 9mm. Had a fte when it was new, otherwise good. Just hated the trigger. Ergos are awesome though.

I bought the first P30 I could find that was in DFW back in 2007 (or was that 2008). Anyhow, LOVED the gun, but for some stupid reason I sold it. It is the only gun I have sold that I regret selling. Now my cheap ass is continuing to look for one in 9mm LEM that I can pick up for the same price I sold mine as. I am about to the point where if I want one I think I'll need to go buy a new one again.
And if you like the pistol but want a slightly smaller version for CCW then look at the P2000. |

I've been carrying one daily for quite some time now, AIWB. The texture of the grip never bothers me against bare skin.
Of course, I'm also the sort of dude who puts skateboard tape on the gun to make it grippier, so I might be a little more hardcore than most. |

Im considering sending mine off to grayguns. I have the V2 LEM variant. I replaced the firing pin block spring with a lighter one and replaced the mainspring with the non-LEM mainspring. The combo yields a very nice trigger. If you have the LEM getting a good trigger is as simple as swapping out a couple of springs. |

I will not buy an HK unless it's LEM (all mine have started as V2). Before I get home with it I will call HKParts.net (801-987-3494) and order a V1 TRS and FPBS. I have an extra DA/SA hammerspring (for V4 TGS). I tried it and didn't care for it. If someone wants it PM me with a shipping address and it's yours. Carry mine daily AIWB in a Garrett Industries Silent Thunder Slim. |

I sold a USP 45 tactical earlier this year to buy a p30. Overall it's a great gun, fairly light, love the controls, and fits your hand like a custom glove. Ended up selling it because I couldn't get over the trigger. Only gun I have ever shot that was perpetually shooting left. I had also of HK pistols and just couldn't shoot the p30 as well. Ymmv

An extra power trigger return spring will give a slightly heavier pull, but will push your finger back forward to the reset. This fixes the most common complaint people have with hk triggers. |
