8 years later and I still feel the same way about this firearm. Nothing comes close to the V1 lem Lt. Had a V3 with a decocker no safety, didn't like the decocker but that introduced me to the HK design. Bought a P30L lem with night sights, didn't like the sights, my eyes probably. Bought a P30Sk Lem Lt with luminescent and that was it. In love. I just traded it for a large amount of work done at my house a few days ago. I thought I would be fine when she left. I have other revolvers and pistols. I'll be OK. Yesterday went through the internet looking for the perfect pistol, I ordered an HK, P30SK Lem Lt today. They still are the best by far. Now with 12 and a 15 round mag in the box with 17 options from HK, it has become even better.
I just traded a P30 V3 for the P30SK V1 light lem....shoot it so much better. I almost want to get rid of my other 9mm offerings and just rock these for life.
I love my P30sk V1 lite LEM… I would highly recommend installing a Gray Guns reduced reset kit.. They cost about 100bucks and are readily available from Gray Guns and also other places that sell parts for fun stuff… It does make a much improved reset and makes it even more pleasant to shoot.. The kit is very easy to install, and he has a how to video on this channel.. Took me about 15min, and has been 100% so far after about 1200 rounds …. IMO it makes the pistol just perfect.. The short and slim slide release levers are also a great upgrade… Get the grip panels and back strap to your liking , add some Talon Grip tape and you will have one incredible carry pistol 👍… I feel the Gray Guns reduced reset kit should be installed in all P30 series, and P2k series of pistols because they improve the reset that good… Probably the best improvement you can do to those pistols 👍👍
Just picked up a V3. Frickin love this gun, and when HK releases the pinky extension baseplates at the end of next month it'll be getting a whole lot more range time.
Very nice review, and I agree with you, the HK P30 SK LEM is an awesome compact, I have the v3 in this gun and just ordered the LEM V-1 and look forward to getting it, I have just about all the offerings in a compact carry gun, but there is just something very special about the 30 SK, that makes me smile, I'm a lefty and totally appreciate the engineering that went into this gun as well as other HK ambi guns of late, I won't carry a gun that isn't ambi because being able to use a gun proficiently with either hand and having that gun user friendly with both hands is a must for me for an EDC gun, I also love my Sig Legion P229 and P225 A-1, for carry which aren't ambi, but I have no problem using these guns in my left hand, everything just works , I will start switching these guns out in my rotation, again great review , thanks for sharing...
Love the p30 line especially the Sk. I would love this sk frame with a standard p30 slide. The Sk is so versatile with the new magazines. 10 flush to 17 is really nice
I thought that my H&K VP9 SK was a great pistol, and I had purchased this firearm to replace my Glock 26 which I had carried for many years. Prior to purchasing the H&K VP9 SK, I had recently purchased a Glock 19 Gen 5 since this pistol was slightly larger than the Glock 26. However, I was still not pleased with the trigger on either of the Glocks. A friend had let me shot his H&K VP9 SK at the range, and I immediately came to the conclusion that the trigger on the H&K was much better than any Glock trigger to include the improved trigger on the Generation 5 Glocks. After reading several articles on the H&K P30 SK, I decided to look at one at the range where I shoot to see how I would possible like a hammer fired H&K over a striker fired H&K. Having carried a 1911 pistol for many years before switching to a Glock pistol for my EDC and agreeing with most individuals that a 1911 pistol has the best trigger, I felt that the H&K P30 SK might be that firearm that I had been looking for to put into my firearm rotation. Switching from double action to single action after the first shot does not cause any problems for me as many individuals have complained for years. Without a doubt, I am enjoying the H&K P30 SK more than the H&K VP9 SK. Today the H&K P30 SK has become my EDC pistol, and the H&K VP9 SK with a Olight Baldr Mini has become my nightstand and range bag backup firearm. I would recommend either of these H&K pistols as an EDC firearm over any Glock pistol.
Oh the triggers on the VP9 are a massive step above the Glock offerings. The wider trigger bow also provides much better consistency and almost eliminates any sort of struggle translating into your sights. I really love what they did with the VP9 triggers.
thanks for the video. I have the one with the decocker adjacent to the hammer and has a heavy double then single action. One of the only real subs you can work with one hand and either hand. carries well too.
Just picked one up at a local shop. Your video is what sold me. I wasn't planning on buying one just yet, but I found a V1 LEM with the standard sights/non-LE package (which is exactly what I wanted) for $643 out the door, which included sales tax and the retarded $6 background check fee. I am planning on replacing the factory sights with Trijicon HDs. Well, it will be nice having 2x HKs in the pile now. Somehow I doubt it will be the last.
No lol, this isn't the beginning. This is actually the 5th HK pistol I have owned. I lost 2 (a .45 USP, and a 9mm P30 LEM) in a divorce. I sold my first HK, a .40 USP, a few years before that to buy the USP .45. I am slowly rebuilding my pile as funds allow. My next will probably be a P30L, a HK45C, or the VP9L when it goes up for sale in the US.
decodeddiesel Alright, then you already know! From your choices, I'd recommend the P30L (or the P30). As well, give the USP9C a look; it's a work of Teutonic, concealable art! If you can swing (not to mention find) a SS version of the latter, go for it!
Just got the v3 for Christmas ( love my son) so now I have both v1 and v3. going to make them my EDC for awhile. I'm certainly glad I followed your earliest videos several years ago and decided to enter the H&K market.
Excellent video sir I have watched this video numerous times and I love all the details about it. I have one of these beauties on my side 24 hour seven days. Thanks again for perfect professional video.
I think this is the best P30sk video yet. I need one of those guns! Although I carried cocked and locked for 20+ years I have really come to prefer the LEM now.
Hey man gun looks awesome. I used to have a p2000sk and it has that same type of double recoil spring. I thought the sk shot better than the regular p2000. I'm a sucker for a usp compact though in 9 or 45 and especially the full size usp45. Prefer usp in 9mm over the p Series pistols and usp over the hk45. I was going to get a shield for deep concealment while at work now I am going to have to find a way to make the p30sk work in tuck able holster, bellyband or ankle. Btw you and all your past vids have contributed to my HK addiction lol
Why the USP 45 over the HK45T? I thought the HK was the next evolution of the USP? Is it because the USP is built to a rugged level required for the military testing trials?
@@thisismagacountry1318 the USP holds 12 rounds the HK45 only 10. That’s why I’ve stuck with my USP at least. The fit and finish also feels more quality on the USP.
Nice to see u back! I gave u a shout in my year end vid. Anyway great review! I told my bud that he must watch this vid and sub to u. He is seriously considering this model in a few months as his new carry pistol. I think this vid will make it very clear for him that he should get it, LOL. Thanks!
Good review. I'm looking forward to possibly getting this particular model. I also the dating analogy. You have the Heart of a poet . Thanks for the video.
+Robert Kmetz Thanks, and thank you for the work you put in for the country. I've got 10 years left until I can retire myself. You'll like that Crossbreed, they're well made.
Your reviews are the best as always, thanks. Also happy to see you do a review of the p30sk. I'm wanting to get one my self but would like to check out the different versions. After this review I think I will for sure be checking these out.
PSA: if you own a p30sk and are frustrated by the 10 round limited magazines, the P2000 13 round mags actually fit and function in the p30sk. I found this out by pure accident when I had both weapons on the bench and picked up the wrong mag when going to load the p30sk, but was pleasantly surprised, it made the afternoon at the range a lot easier while I was shooting the p30sk.
This review almost made me weep. Great job man - I'm just torn between the p30sk v1/v2 and the vp9sk. I own a vp9 and know how the trigger feels, but likely can't get my hands on either v1 or v2 of the p30sk so I'm trying to absorb as much as I can before making a decision
I absolutely enjoyed your video so much!! I have also been searching for the best CCW that I believe is the best. I finally ordered a P30sk with the LEM TRIGGER. Looking forward to learning how to shoot this Firearm well for my protection; if ever I need to do so. Have you ever considered the lighter spring assembly kit with a shorter reuptake?? I have heard it is worth the $100.00... I would appreciate any knowledge or experience you might have with this additional Spring kit assembly. Thank you👍👌
DevilDolphin, Thank you for your review--I just pulled the trigger on one of these.... I love how it will take my 15 round VP9 mags :) Time to say adios to my G43....
P30sk is a fantastic subcompact. My only other favorite subcompact is the p99as compact. I have the p99as and the p99c and both compliment each other really well and are innovative firearms being a DA/SA striker with a great trigger and weight almost identicle to glock19 and glock26. However, the p30sk is fantastic as well. I am hoping to add a p30L eventually to compliment it since I am a walther/hk fan. If you ever get a chance to try either, you wont be disappointed.
Glad to have you back. Love your vids. Its your fault I love HKs so much. Gonna be picking up a p30 with my tax return this year. Still undecided weather or not I want it with or without a safety though.
+pledgegamer I'm a huge fan of the P30 series guns without the safety. It's amazing for quick response to threats, and still very safe. I like my P30LS, but every P30 I'm getting from here out, is going to be a lever-less V1 or V3.
Haha same reason for me that I'm hooked on HK. Look at the usp9 compact also. It's g19 sized will also take the p30 mags and the trigger is better imo. P30 is more ergonomic though
I just subscribed love the material and I wish I had a p30sk. I originally had a choice between a g26, p99c and p30sk and chose the p99c. One of the best guns I have ever shot. It is my favorite subcompact yet I still wonder about the p30sk
How often are you carrying yours? I love mine. I've been carrying it over a year as my EDC. Because of my body type, I don't carry a full size pistol which would include my full size HK's. I did pick up a G43 because, it's a guilty pleasure. Don't judge. Ha.
Which Sig Sauer compact size would you compare that with? And which would you choose? Im new to the gun world and it seems like HK and SIG are the top end?
IT is a SUUNTO Core all black military. I've had it for years, I won't use anything else. I love it. As for the sub compact pistols, the P30sk is king. I think it's the pistol to beat as far as the performance it provides, and the price point honestly.
357 sig P2000SK barrel does fit per HKPro, thus I am interested. I don't think I would like the P30SK grip more than P2000SK grip. since I didn't like the P30 vs the USPC and p2000. I do like that the P30SK V3 uses a thumb lever like the USP. Then again I actually don't like the thumb lever on my USP and would rather have the rear of slide decocker.
I don't have the SK anymore and have transitioned like you said. It was a great little gun for what it was though. Extremely comfortable to carry and shoot.
Have you encounter any jams or stovepipe when using 115 grains? Mine shot flawlessly but some dude was shitting on the HK for saying it’s not reliable because it couldn’t handle 115 grains.
Love this pistol and I can shoot it extremely well. I easily qualify with it and yes I currently carry it for work because I’m still waiting on my HK P30L it’s been almost 2 years lol
great to see you back navyman. I'm about to purchase my first handgun and I was thinking about getting a hk vp9 or p30. I know for practical purposes the vp9 makes more sense, but I just like the hk p30 more. even now the p30s are pricier than the vp9s, even if the prices for the p30s went down somewhat since the demand for them has been lowered since the vp9 took the market by storm. are there any objective reasons (differences in quality, performance, handling etc) that justifies the price difference between them? thanks. again, great to see you back.
I've been thinking about the P30sk since it came out, but one thing holding me back is availability of holsters. Any suggestions on this? Also what do you think about appendix carry? I usually prefer it because I find it more comfortable, but some people say it's dangerous. What are your thoughts?
@@navyman8903 I don’t appendix carry my striker fired pistols, but hear that is a complaint with the 26 so I thought I’d ask. Green Force Tactical. Looking to move to a DA/SA appendix carry.
I love my p30 guns and my p2000 guns also but I must admit I shoot my p2000sk better than my p30sk. I am a hk fan boy at heart also,my hk collection is p30 in 9mm and .40. P30L in 9mm and 40. HK45 and Hk45c. P2000 in 9mm and .40. no striker Hk yet. mr556 (x2). plus sig p226,p227,and p229.
ohhhh now i know who you are lol sorry about that i just assumed you were some troll. But to get back to the Vp9 thing if water stops it from working what do you think about the SEALs adopting the g19?
+GunGlutton There's a few videos where it works after being submerged. As for the SEALS.....we'll see how it goes. I haven't seen anything on writing about it, just internet chatter. Hopefully if they do, they figure out the water issue.
Welcome back! Other reviews I've watched seemed to think it's too big for a pocket gun, and there are better options (capacity, caliber, longer barrel etc) that will go AIWB or IWB just as easy. Thoughts?
I have this and trying to decide between the viridian c5l and the streamlight tlr 8. Thoughts anyone? Also do they get rid of the decocker button on the LEM?
Good review , My p30sk Finally came in. I could have got the da/sa v3 model along time ago, but really wanted to try that light lem trigger. Cant wait for this weekend to get to the range with it. What kind of ammo do you mostly practice with.? Im also glad to see that 30rnd vp9 mag will run in this p30sk. Great review as always, for awhile there I thought you might have died or something. Keep those reviews coming, Thanks.
This was more than just a mere gun review. It was sheer firearm poetry of Shakespearean proportion.
lmfao
Lol holy shit the relationship analogy was hilarious. Your vids are my favorite when it comes to anything HK. Great review!

Just got mine last week as an early bday gift great gun well worth the price
Mine comes in today, according to USPS tracking. I cannot wait. Thanks for such a great review and video. This sealed the deal for me.
I think it's my next sub compact. Thank you.
One of the best reviews I've seen on RUclips in some time, and certainly one of the best reviewing the P30sk. Well done!

Watching Reviews on this pistol. looking for NavyMan..gotta watch Navyman's video for an HK..heard the voice and was happy af.
I just picked one up with the LEM trigger. Only one trip to the range but I’m loving it. Definitely gonna CCW it.
It's a great little gun.
What is your current edc?
Perfect review! I agree with your conclusions.
Thanks for the review and put this one on my wish list !

+DevilDolphin Oh ok thank you, I was afraid that you forgot and I understand if you did because I know you are a very busy man.
Welcome back dude. Thanks for the review.
Hk makes 12 round flush mags for the sk now!
That's excellent. Finally a step in the right direction.
How often are you carrying yours? I love mine. I've been carrying it over a year as my EDC. Because of my body type, I don't carry a full size pistol which would include my full size HK's. I did pick up a G43 because, it's a guilty pleasure. Don't judge. Ha.
How is this compare to the P2000SK?
I just bought this exact same handgun today. It came with 2 mags, not 3. Are stores taking the 3rd mag out and selling it separately?
Great review. Really looking forward to the VP9C and SK.
Great review. I love my p30 sk.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
If you could have one SK pistol, which one would it be. P30 or VP9?
Love your channel and HK's. Is there an HK you dont have? Which pistol is your favorite?
Which Sig Sauer compact size would you compare that with? And which would you choose? Im new to the gun world and it seems like HK and SIG are the top end?
Also, is that a SUUNTO Core all black watch? I'm in the market for that watch as well, ha...
IT is a SUUNTO Core all black military. I've had it for years, I won't use anything else. I love it. As for the sub compact pistols, the P30sk is king. I think it's the pistol to beat as far as the performance it provides, and the price point honestly.
I'd go with the P30 sk over any of the sigs. Sigs are nice though
Keith Richards Liver why?
Glad to see you back!
Great review!
Thanks. I appreciate it
@15:45 Sounds like the movie Swingers? ;) Nice breakdown on the P30...looks very nice.
Excellent video my friend!
Awesome review. Have to buy one asap now!
Did you put the red paint on the inside of the slide release?
No sir, that is factory.
357 sig P2000SK barrel does fit per HKPro, thus I am interested.
I don't think I would like the P30SK grip more than P2000SK grip. since I didn't like the P30 vs the USPC and p2000.
I do like that the P30SK V3 uses a thumb lever like the USP. Then again I actually don't like the thumb lever on my USP and would rather have the rear of slide decocker.
Do you still have the sk anymore or have you transitioned to full size and commanders completely?
I don't have the SK anymore and have transitioned like you said. It was a great little gun for what it was though. Extremely comfortable to carry and shoot.
Glad you're back!!!!
Have you encounter any jams or stovepipe when using 115 grains? Mine shot flawlessly but some dude was shitting on the HK for saying it’s not reliable because it couldn’t handle 115 grains.
Sweet!
Love the Hk
Love this pistol and I can shoot it extremely well. I easily qualify with it and yes I currently carry it for work because I’m still waiting on my HK P30L it’s been almost 2 years lol
Did you ever find one???
Mine will be here soon. Can't wait.
I have the HK P30SK V3. It’s flawless, but it does not like cheap ammo.
great to see you back navyman. I'm about to purchase my first handgun and I was thinking about getting a hk vp9 or p30. I know for practical purposes the vp9 makes more sense, but I just like the hk p30 more. even now the p30s are pricier than the vp9s, even if the prices for the p30s went down somewhat since the demand for them has been lowered since the vp9 took the market by storm. are there any objective reasons (differences in quality, performance, handling etc) that justifies the price difference between them? thanks. again, great to see you back.
I've been thinking about the P30sk since it came out, but one thing holding me back is availability of holsters. Any suggestions on this?
Also what do you think about appendix carry? I usually prefer it because I find it more comfortable, but some people say it's dangerous. What are your thoughts?

Stealth Gear makes a fantastic holster for it.
Gearcraft Holsters.
n82 makes a good one
I want this pistol now more than ever. Great review !
You like this gun better than the Vp9sk ?
tell me your honest opinion of the extremely long reset on this trigger... how do you feel about it?
Sorry if I missed this, but what was your holster choice?
How does it carry appendix style? Does it have the tendency to cant outward from the body like the Glock 26 (all the weight in the handle)?
It seems pretty balanced to me. What holster are you using?
@@navyman8903 I don’t appendix carry my striker fired pistols, but hear that is a complaint with the 26 so I thought I’d ask. Green Force Tactical. Looking to move to a DA/SA appendix carry.
I love my p30 guns and my p2000 guns also but I must admit I shoot my p2000sk better than my p30sk. I am a hk fan boy at heart also,my hk collection is p30 in 9mm and .40. P30L in 9mm and 40. HK45 and Hk45c. P2000 in 9mm and .40. no striker Hk yet. mr556 (x2). plus sig p226,p227,and p229.
i think i want to marry this gun now! Thanks 4 the review.
Best review of all. thumbs up!!!!!!!
Welcome back!
ohhhh now i know who you are lol sorry about that i just assumed you were some troll. But to get back to the Vp9 thing if water stops it from working what do you think about the SEALs adopting the g19?
+GunGlutton There's a few videos where it works after being submerged. As for the SEALS.....we'll see how it goes. I haven't seen anything on writing about it, just internet chatter. Hopefully if they do, they figure out the water issue.
Sweet HK collection!
Is this gun compatible with a TLR1 HL?
Nice review. I have the same.
I just got one for Christmas 👍
What’s your opinion on the P2000SK?
Solid performer, I just prefer the P30sk.
I hope you're back for good, man.
Good to see you back. Did you get a new camera? Footage is nice and crisp! When is the Navyman going to get a suppressor for his Mark 23?
The Peter dinklage of pistols. LoL
I almost cried at the end...HK p30sk... You complete me...lol
Very cool Video!
Not a bad gun! I will still keep my FNS-9C, but this would of been in the running!
Welcome back! Other reviews I've watched seemed to think it's too big for a pocket gun, and there are better options (capacity, caliber, longer barrel etc) that will go AIWB or IWB just as easy. Thoughts?
I have this and trying to decide between the viridian c5l and the streamlight tlr 8. Thoughts anyone?
Also do they get rid of the decocker button on the LEM?
Good review , My p30sk Finally came in. I could have got the da/sa v3 model along time ago, but really wanted to try that light lem trigger. Cant wait for this weekend to get to the range with it. What kind of ammo do you mostly practice with.? Im also glad to see that 30rnd vp9 mag will run in this p30sk. Great review as always, for awhile there I thought you might have died or something. Keep those reviews coming, Thanks.
Ted Armstrong how are you liking that P30sk
