HK P30L Tactical - Never Imported to the US by HK USA

- Опубликовано: 10 июл 2024
- Hello and welcome. In today's table-top video we take a look at the @HecklerKochTV P30L Tactical. This is a version of the P30L that was never imported into the U.S. by HK USA. Obviously the P30 is not a rare gun, but the P30L is a bit harder to find and this HK P30L is truly difficult to find on this side of the pond. Many thanks to The Attic / The Sportsman's Loft for helping me to get my hands on this pistol. What do you think of the HK P30L Tactical? I look forward to your comments. Thank you for stopping by and God Bless.

I love my P30L, almost too easy to shoot and be accurate with
It is sweet.
I own the P30L in 40 and the P30s in 9. HK’s feel really nice in the hand. Thanks for sharing the tactical.
They are pretty awesome. Thank you very much for watching!
TAI has HK USP Compact Tactical imports. LEM, frames are 2016, slide and barrel are 2023. All correct import markings. I think these were an over run from a German contract. These look like a very cool piece. Great P30L review!!
Interesting variation. Thanks for sharing.
You’re very welcome. As always, thank you for watching.
I’ve got this same exact gun with the threaded barrel. And I got it from the attic/sportsman’s loft which I saw you give a special thanks to.
Yes, mine came from The Attic. Thank you very much for watching!
Awesome review!
Thank you very much for watching. I appreciate your kind words!
Nice one, I would like a vintage HK one day.
It’s a very cool gun but I don’t think I can get past that trigger guard. Thank you very much for watching.
@@MDpolo I'm looking for a P7 M13 at $2000. Yes I know that is below market but a buddy bought 2 with wanted ads on gun sites and telling sellers sad story. The $3500 valued price isn't selling fast for the old timers that are holding 3 or 4. So the real price is somewhere between.
I just looked the P7 M13 value is now $4278
i have always liked the p30. i just prefer da sa guns. i have never held or shot one but i have heard the trigger on the p30 is horrible. you always get the coolest guns. awesome review on a rare gun.
The trigger is average, not bad, but not amazing either
Happy Holidays, stay blessed.
Happy holidays to you. May God bless you.
Nice gun ! The mag release only sticks up without a mag in it so you wouldn’t be firing the weapon very often without a magazine inserted! I have the P30S myself and do agree it would be nice if it was always flush but not a big deal !
Omaha Outdoors has the HK OEM thread protector for the HK VP9/P30 Tactical which I bought at a very reasonable price. It has the HK 13.5-1 LH threading that they use for these.
Thank you very much for the info and for watching. I appreciate both!
Man I have to slow down watching your videos or I’m going to go broke! Saw this video when it came out and shortly after I got my own P30L. I opted for the LEM only model with no safety or decock. I sort of wish it had the decock because the Hk design on that is just awesome. Now I’m trying to debate if I want to have my slide cut for an rmr. That’s the only flaw for me so far there is limited people doing that and those who do it costs nearly half the price of the firearm. I like it enough I’m thinking about doing it anyway. Good video as usual!
Thank you very much for watching! Wait until next week’s video….
The vp9l will be in stores soon it's also optic ready.
💥4 EHT MHTIROGLA😎👍
Very nice looking (& I'm sure shooting) piece...however if I were to spend that much, I have some other guns higher on my list.
I understand that. Thank you very much for watching!
I carry a CZ-P07. I love everything about it except the fact that the slide can be difficult to manipulate since there's not much of it to grab onto. So I'm always interested in looking at a compact DA/SA pistol with a decocker, with about a 10 lb DA pull and 5 lb SA pull. I like the two Sig P-229s that I have, but this HK could be even nicer. I really like the the loaded chamber indicator, the way the pistol disassembles, and the mag release paddles (I have a Walther PPQ with them). It looks like you might only have the alignment issue with the mag release paddle when there is no mag in the pistol, in which case it's not really an issue. Is this correct? I think the regular version of this pistol might be my next purchase. Thanks for the great review!
You are correct regarding the mag release paddle. It aligns itself once the mag is inserted into the pistol. And then it is a non-issue. Like a dumb ass I didn’t notice that until after I had released the video. Thank you for catching that. You are welcome and thank you for watching!
@@MDpolo Thanks for that feedback and you're welcome. Sometimes it's easier to see things from afar.
Similar experience here but I love HK the most. P-07 is good. SIG classics are good too.
That little thing your feeling when pulling the trigger goes away once you insert the magazine
The problem you are having with the magazine paddles rubbing your finger can be remedied simply by inserting a magazine into the firearm. It flattens the paddles to be inline with the trigger guard.
That is correct! I appreciate the comment and that you took the time to stop by.
Really nice firearm. I'm a fan of the P30L.That is weird how the magazine release sticks up and I can see how it causes discomfort during shooting. My VP9 magazine release is flush with the trigger guard and I'd expect the same with the P30L. I've been on an HK kick lately. Looking at a USP Expert in 9mm or 45acp.
I recently got the USP Expert in 9mm and it is a dream to shoot.
@@MDpolo Awesome, I'm looking at kne now, hopefully it's not sold. Can't wait for your review!
It only does that when the mag isn’t in when you insert the mag it clicks and pushes the mag release flush
@@00nemisis00 I've seen it flush on both VP9 and P30. I guess it varies. I tried it the shop I work at. From firearm to firearm different.
@@00nemisis00 Exactly. How often does one shoot without a magazine inserted? It's a moot complaint...
Отличный обзор!
Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
I like your video very informative but as far as the mag release it only does that when there is no magazine inserted when you insert the magazine it clicks in and pushes the mag release flush with the trigger guard. I have the P30L version 3 I only paid $800 after taxes and purchased the threaded barrel from Hk parts for $300 and I got the adjustable suppressor sights for I believe $30 so overall I only paid $1150 for the same gun, but I love it carry it everyday definitely becoming an Hk fanboy, I also recently purchased a USP 45 and got the tactical barrel and adjustable suppressor sights for it as well and that gun is awesome suppressed. Keep up the good work
The USP 45 is one of my favorite handguns. Thank you very much for your comment and for taking the time to stop by.
Took me 30 seconds to fix the mag release issue with the trigger finger. Took the dremel and sander attachment and filed it down a few millimeters. Issue resolved. Man up, MD.
I know how to fix it. My point is that I shouldn’t have to. Thank you very much for watching.
Why get upset over the magazine release sticking up a little? The only time you'll encounter that is when the magazine is removed. It lines up perfectly when the magazine is inserted, so it shouldn't bother you while you're shooting it. If anything, it should help indicate that the magazine is fully seated and isn't about to fall out after taking your first shot.
the "batman" grip pattern actually resembles the Ulm proof mark more, which in your case can be found under the trigger guard
also the mag release is literally no issue, it only pops up when mag is out, so the only time you have to hurt your trigger finger through it is when the magazine is released, which i think is more of a feature on HK's end, to me thats an added benefit(knowing my mag is not properly seated)
the thread protector is a bummer for sure, there are various P30SD(i think its the official name not tactical) imported into europe and canada, the only reason i can think of is there are ATF requirements blocking a complete pistol with threaded barrel preinstalled into the US? and considered an "assault weapon"? and in many europe countries, suppressors are not heavily regulated like in the US, and hence people dont even need a thread protector, because the pistol would be suppressed all the time, thats my guess
also you are getting the italian LPA sights which are adjustable and better than the none adjustable HK sights
Thank you very much for all the information. I really appreciate it! Thank you as well for watching.
can't you just buy a regular p30l and put a different barrel in it with threads for a suppressor?@@MDpolo
@@wcsdiaries you can always create your own Frankenstein gun, but the serial numbers will not match and it’s not original from the factory. If that’s not important, then, of course you can create your own.
I sure wish they offered P30L barrels with the extra O-ring on the barrel, for the utmost in accuracy.
That would be sweet. Thank you for stopping by.
That would be USP Elite, O-ring
Does this system with the threaded barrel cowitness with the after market compensator?
I have not tried a compensator with this pistol. But I don’t see why it wouldn’t. Thank you for stopping by.
Thank you for the content.
I did some research and saw such exists.
There is a compensator that works WITH a threaded barrel with the thread cap to work with it.
The thing I am still trying to discern is what version it applies to.
Thanks again and I'll post a link to reference. 😎
ruclips.net/video/M6PhB1toxDY/видео.htmlfeature=shared
So this link applies to the VP9.
HK's website however, DOES have this for the P30L threaded barrel with compensator.
Again, which generation applies?
I'd say check the deets within the SKU.
The weight/ comp. From HK Parts looks great on that gun.
It does look sweet with that on. Thank you very much for watching.
Slightly at best tactile! Chamber indicator
I love my HKs(13), but I don't care for the P30 or VP series.
Which are your favorites?
@@MDpolo Mark 23, USP Series, HK45 Series, P2000 Series
All awesome.
I thought v3 was the one that came with decocker and safety,
What barrel mounted compensator can you use with this?
To be honest with you I have not looked it to that. But, I’ve seen them at HK Parts dot net.
@@MDpolo they only have frame mounted
Pmn makes one
this is actually the p30l SD just like the old school usp9 tacticals. there is no such thing as a p30l tactical
Well, that’s what the label from HK on the box said. Thank you for stopping by.
If you're a righty then how can you see the red?
Tritium is not illegal in Germany.
I bought a gun with meprolight sights.
Best wishes.
Interesting. That is contrary to everything that I’ve been told and read. Thank you very much for stopping by.
@@MDpolo I bought a Kimber TLE 2 with stock Tritium sights. My verry first gun.
We have a lot of nonsense gun laws. Laser and gunlights are illegal, 10 round magazine limit for long guns and 20 rounds for handguns.
If you want a supressor you need a 2000€+ hunting license, the same for thermal and nightvision scopes.
You need a 800€+ gun safe and you have to document every time in a booklet when you go shooting.
The Stasi, i mean the dear government knows everything about gun owners and the slightest rule breaking can cost you your guns.
Please fight for your 2A, you will never get it back.
Hmmmm....P30L Tac vs a USP 45 (for a recreational shooter)....the P30L (non-Tactical ver) is already $300 more than the USB 45....worth itÉÉ P30L--Batman grip, 1913 rail, shorter trigger guard (means light is less likely to protrude past the front of barrel) and it has a threaded barrel....USP 45 is ' more of a battle gun'--wold that matter for a civiianÉ :) Or that it is the 'better ver' of the MK23 in a more manageable size...the 'Collateral -Vincent gun' heh....Ièd go withw the USP 45....unless you think you NEED or want to run your gun superssed at the range....for a 'more tactical looking' range gun
I have the p30 L with the LEM TRIGGER SYSTEM have the hk 45 with the same TRIGGER system
But it'd weird because I have the p30sk with safety an decoker an dont know which I like better as far as TRIGGER
I have a love/ hate relationship with the LEM TRIGGER SYSTEM 🤣🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I hear you about the LEM. Thank you very much for watching!
Threadprotector is a bummer.shit costs around 30 bucks.and I didnt know the p30 came with factory made threaded barrel.all this time I thought it was an aftermarket
This model has not been available here in the US. HK USA never imported it. But the threaded barrel is factory HK. Thank you very much for watching.
To me, sights are for range shooting and learning your point of aim. Real life defense scenario, you won’t have time to sight for first shot. Point shooting will save your life, night sights not so much unless your law enforcement !
Thank you very much for watching. I appreciate it.
@@MDpolo
Great video. Keep them coming ! I have been involved in a life or death shooting scenario. Zero time for sighting. Happened so fast, it was over before you could take aim !!
Scary stuff. Glad you’re OK.
