I'm new to HK and also Polymer frame pistols!

When my friend bought a glock 22 back in the mid 80`S . he took the slide off and showed me the rails and locking block.

I took my P30 apart and saw the metal rails but didn't see anything that looked like a locking block.

I was thinking that most pistols plastic or aluminum frames would have a locking  block?

So how did HK get around it?

Because they use a pin attached to the slide stop ala the 1911.

So is that better than using a locking block.


I would of thought the other way around! But then again I don't know anything about building a pistol

Can you give me the HK P30 part #  so I can see it in the diagram.

I see the  CZ P07 doesn't have a locking block either.

Ok, the big difference is one is a striker fired gun the HK and others are hammer fired. HK, CZ etc.. follow the John Browning tilting barrel method and therefore use a pin across the frame and through the barrel lug. The part that holds the gun all together is #45.

That reverse dovetail on the guide rod is what cams the barrel up/down and the slide stop keeps the rod from pulling out when the rod/barrel and slide are full forward.

I thought hammer fired had something to do with it.
Until I found the FNX 9mm has a locking block and hammer fired.
