Please, Opinions needed on H&K P30

[cslinger]

I would say the USP .45 is the hardest use pistol HK ever designed it uses so much DNA from the Mark 23 which may have been the worlds most overbuilt pistol ever.

But at the end of the day it's like arguing which is faster a Porsche 918 or a La Ferrari. The answer is YES.

I just realized. We have gone two pages and failed to follow rule 37, subsection 17, Paragraph 12 of the gun nut forum handbook.

I will rectify this right now so we can move one.

"Just get a Glock preferably a 17 or 19"

That was a close one. Ok. Now you can all go back to discussing the P30/PPQ.

I EDC a Walther PPS and own an HK VP9 and HK USP Compact.

First, I'll say HK IS worth the money. The quality, fit, and finish are superb.

Second, I'll say my Walther has given me 2.5 perfect years of great carry and flawless performance.

Feel 'em up, then buy the one that feels best.

My brother has a VP9, and i shot a few mags with it, i didn't shoot it very well, and didnt like the trigger. the grips were set for my brothers larger hands, and this may have effected my accuracy, i shot it alongside my .40 PPQ and shot my walther much better.

The trigger with the short reset is what sold me on the PPQ

You have the right idea on shooting them both and the one that feels the best and shoots the best is the one to get. Keep us informed on which you went with

MY P30L:
Sharp grip texturing and wears quick
Trigger reset is long
Feels chuncky

My PPQ:
Feels less robust in the trigger, but has a better trigger

So i just got back from putting 150rds of aguila 124gr 9mm through a H&K P30 Da/Sa with safety, i dont like the trigger, so it looks like i will be going with what i truely like and miss, the PPQ.

Now i just to save up the dough, i am about a quarter of the way there, will probably have to wait until income tax time

Well I'm glad you figured out what works best for you.

Now that said, this is how I always feel after these threads:

I've owned a P30L (9MM) for about 4 years now. Loved everything about this gun with the exception of the trigger. I cured that issue about 2 years ago by ordering a few springs from HKparts.net and replacing the original springs in the pistol. Both SA and DA pull were reduced with zero misfire issues. This was the right choice for me, YMMV.

[JDBerg]

Here's what you need to do to solve the HK V3 trigger variant "heavy" DA trigger pull woes;

A) Get the LEM variant instead & sort out the springs to get the weighted trigger pull you want;

B) Ignore the HK V3 "heavy" DA trigger since a decocked non "S" V3 really is a clever and safe means to carry, i.e., quit your sniveling and practice thumb-cocking the HK V3 P30 out of the holster so you're always shooting SA

C) Glock 19 and / or Walther PPS M2 until, or instead of, trying to figure out A) or B)

That's either some very brilliant or really twisted logic right there!

D) Or just learn to live with the DA pull

But the OP already made a decision, so it's all moot.
