    Thanks for a great video about a great pistol! FWIW, if your P30LS is in fact an original LEM with safety, it's actually a pretty rare item. Only about 500 were ever released in the US, supposedly from a contract overrun for a European police agency. The standard HK LEM guns do not have manual safeties at all, so this small batch is a serious novelty item of HK fans. HK USP and HK45 series pistols can be converted to LEM with a safety by HK, but the conversion on the P30 series (while technically possible) is not an HK authorized mod, so the company won't perform it and if a gunsmith or owner does it, it will void the warranty. You can easily check with HK to see if yours is one of the rare original ones. Contrary to what people say, and what was once true, HK doesn't think you suck or hate you. :) Their customer service is actually really, really good these days.

      Sounds like they hate you and if you do minor changes they want nothing to do with you. CZ’s you can change decockers and safetys and you’re okay, and M17’s you can rip the safety out of and you’re still cool with SIG.
      HK seems to have a market for men who like to be degraded

    Love the HK series. The mag release thing only exits if you remove the magazine. Once a mag is in the gun, the mag "up-tilt" goes way. I notice this on my HK45 and figured it out.

    • @tidefanyankee2428
      @tidefanyankee2428 4 года назад +3

      Walther has a paddle mag release on some of their pistols as well. Some believe that the paddle is more practical, especially for law enforcement/military. If a cop is fighting with someone rolling around on the ground the "button" release you see in other weapons could be depressed and release the mag. Same with military who might be crawling on the ground or if they have to hit the deck suddenly. The paddle eliminates that from happening. Just something to think about.

      After holding a HK USP I could say it's ergonomics are ridiculously solid. never held a gun more comfortable in the hands, feels like a true extention of yourself.
      They do weigh a bit when loaded, but it makes recoil a breeze to handle.
      Too bad they're $$$$$$

    Had a USP 9 a few years ago I bought new and shot thoroughly for about 2yrs. I've owned a 226, Hi-Power, and of course a model 92; I realize personal preference is what it comes down to with pistols like these, true classics. But the HK always was my favorite. Very accurate, decocker (standard on USP), hi-cap..... absolute top tier pistol, price point aside. So after seeing the 'legacy' of the USP with this pistol, I have zero doubt about it's capability, period. HK makes awesome shit.

I have Glocks, 1911s, M&Ps, etc. and all are fine guns...but the H&K, for me, delivered accuracy, reliability, ergonomics and trigger that were just the right mix.

    Love my P30L as a left handed shooter, controls are perfect for me. At least 7000 rds down range, zero problems. Initial break in required 147 grain approx 4-500 rds. Really feels great in the hand. My VP9 is also another great gun from HK, the lower bore axis really lets me shoot more accurate with quicker follow up shots. Great overview as usual!

      @@CR-pl1xr Most people use 124gr to break in their gun. If needed. Do some research on your particular gun model. But in my experience, modern duty guns like the Glock 19, and P320 didn’t need a break in period. My Glock 19, P320, and Glock 30 have worked flawlessly out of the box with both defense and ball factory ammunition of different grains.

    I bought my P30L back in 2014 and I love it! OMG you got a steal of a deal! Whomever you bought it from threw in the extra mags and the match weight. The P30L only comes with two mags from the factory and the match weight is an after market part. Again I bought mine back in 2014, but I didn't pay $400-$500 more like $900 and that's pretty much a standard price range for H&K's (pricer than most pistols).

    Oh and yes, the V1 is an LEM trigger, or “law enforcement modification” trigger. I describe it as a “single action / double action trigger”, basically a long takeup clean breaking single action trigger with a secondary strike capability. Giving you striker like consistency, but still being able to hit a round again if it didn’t go off the first time. Which in a defensive/combat firearm is a feature I think of as extremely desirable.

    I was lucky enough to pick up a couple of these P30L pistols new in the V3 version with night sights for $500 each. Both the 9mm & 40 S&W shoot great & are pretty damn accurate. Making shots at 100 seemed fairly easy too. I wish the capacity was slightly higher on each pistol but, overall I can’t complain. Never a single malfunction with mine either.

    Great video Outlaw. I have 2 P30's 4" in 40 and like them both very well. One is a variant 1 and the other is a variant 3. Tthe LEM trigger is so sweet but being a da/sa fan I don't mind the traditional trigger either. I've never had a failure of any and both shoot extremely well. My only complaint about them is the curved trigger angle. I'd prefer a little less curvature but it ain't nothing but a minor annoyance. I purchased both at $570.00 each. That was a steal cause everywhere else they where in the $780- $930 range.

    It IS a compensator. It's basically an AK style slant brake of a slightly different flavor. Pressured gas exiting the barrel pushes on the bottom of that trough but there's no compensating force from the other direction. So it pushes the barrel down and reduces muzzle flip. It's not just a weight. It's a compensator.

  • @Maur460

    I used this video for part of decision making for my FIRST GUN. After long consideration I “pulled the trigger” no pun intended and went with the P30L .40S&W with the safety & the decocker as my EDC pistol. I was afraid the size was gonna be a lot for a first timer, but it’s awesome and I got a Tulster holster, it’s not many holster options like other models, but I like my holster.
    I’ve had this gun for about a year, I love it, I mean it’s John wicks gun with a lil extra sauce being a .40S&W. I’ve put 100’s of rounds through it and it’s never jammed, went to the range with the guys and the beretta jammed, & the Glock jammed, but not the H&K.
    You pull this baby out and you can tell it means business! I was afraid of running one in the chamber but the strong trigger being over 10lbs made me feel at ease and I learned that it’s nothing to be afraid of, besides not being prepared. Only down side is that now I love HK weapons and with spend a lot of money with them. 😢
    Oh yeah my buddy DID NOT realize at first that it was a .40S&W and loaded a 9mm. While it shot, the sound was different which made me realize something was off, but we’re good😂

  • @monarchco
    @monarchco 6 лет назад +91

    The safety is there for a reason.
    It's the same way on the USPs, P2000, etc.
    The reason its there, and made so that you DON'T rest your thumb on it while shooting, is because for all the versions with SA and a decocker, the decocker is built into the safety, and is done by going from safe, to fire, past fire, and down all the way.
    EDIT: lol? 700-1000 rounds with 0 malfunctions?
    An HK USP will do about 30-35,000 rounds between malfunctions(that aren't related to ammo defects anyways - e.g. rounds with improperly seated primers)
    A P30 will do about 25-30k between malfunctions.
    Both of those numbers are from testers who only cleaned their firearms a dozen or so times total through 90+ thousand round tests.
    You have a LONG way to go before malfunctions...

    So this may sound crazy but it really worked: I personally prefer blacked out rear sights, so I Sharpied by rear sights black...... the finish actually turned out perfect. It dried non shiny and matched the sights perfectly and the sights still glow through the black ink easily. I have to say I'm extremely suprised at the results and how well the sights still glow under the ink at night.
    Before you freak out it removes easily with an alcohol wipe if you mess up or end up not liking the set up.

    During the firearm/ammo shortage of early 2013, the last firearm and ammo on the shelves of my local LGS was .40 cal. Prior to that, most people would say that 9mm being the most popular, it would be the last to disappear from the shelves. WRONG! People bought up as much as they could carry out the door. Anyways, I decided the next firearm I would buy would be in .40 cal. After checking many different firearms, I felt the H&K P30 would work best for me. Luckily the one available was an 'L' and a v.1. Ergonomically it was the best firearm I ever held in my hand until I bought a Browning HP. While I do have a .45, I think the H&K .40 is a nice complement to my collection...ie. 9mm, .40 and .45. As stated by another, the only problem I have with it is my fingers are not long enough to reach the magazine release. Other then that, a truly great gun! ...I figured out to drop the magazine, to use my trigger finger instead of my thumb!

The r3d illuminated iron sights are great too, ive never had any stock illuminated sights and i was super hyped about that.
