- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ค. 2024
- This is a tabletop review of the HK P30SK. In this video we will discuss the history, size and features of the firearm. In addition, we will demonstrate how to field strip and reassemble the gun for cleaning and inspection. Range performance will also be discussed along with different tested methods of carry and how comfortable it is to carry on a regular basis. Last, we will provide an overall opinion of how this firearm stacks up for concealed carry purposes. Thanks for watching!
I’ve been an active police officer for 37 years. By far the best pistol I own. This pistol hits high marks in all categories needed.❤
I’ve carried a lot of pistols in my 37 years of police work and this pistol is one of my top five.
What are your top 5?
Top G
Worth mentioning these things is by no means ammo picky. I've thrown at mine almost any kind of training and range ammo, and several carry brands/types and they handle everything flawlessly. This is a great gun and worth every penny.
I hunted down the HK p30 sk V3 model because I love the DA/SA. It did come with the tritium sights and a 3rd mag. I've owned mine for 4 years now and it's my primary carry. I'm really super impressed with the comfort and accuracy of this pistol and the style. I figured I'd have malfunctions with hollow points like I did with my Sig P229 but I've had nothing. I also purchased the HK pinkie extensions and this was an absolute game changer because it now feels like it melts into my hand. This pistol is my ride or die and I have no intention of ever getting rid of it.
I added pinky ext to two of my 10s, keeping one flat. I also have 13 and 15rd mags. The tritiums were worth the extra money for my LEM.
That’s the version I’m thinking of. I have a VP9 and love it, but feel like a decocker and DA/SA is a better option for a carry weapon.
Sigs are cheap
I have the same pistol in this variant. I also use the sticky holster and the pinky extensions. By way of comparison I also have the hk 45 lem.
Personally I prefer the p30sk. For one thing, you can carry it cocked and locked. Yes you can do that with the lem also but no safety except a longer trigger pull and no visible view that the hammer is cocked unlike an actual hammer. My other comment is that the p30sk to me is not a lot smaller than the p30 and about equal in conceal ability.
@@wolfpack4694 try the lem
I have one, I love it! I've have carried it for 4 years, it has held up great and has never had a failure
Truly a great carry piece!
Very good
@@TheConcealedCarryChannel I have really enjoyed your content and detailed yet practical analysis of these firearms! My question is how does this HK compare to the popular Sig P365 series and Springfield Hellcat options for everyday CCW? I'm not overly concerned with round capacity but more with trigger feel, accuracy and minimal feed malfunctions... Thanks!
I'm lucky enough to own multiple pistols from different manufacturers. My P30SK is one of my carry guns together with my CZ PCR(my biggest EDC), and my Beretta 84BB(my smallest EDC). All 3 are extremely reliable and comfortable to carry and shoot.
I’ve watched this video many times I own a hk p30 sk lem and you hit it on the money about this weapon this is one of the best reviews on this gun!!!
Your videos are very good. Thank you for your thorough explanation of the function and maintenance of the pistol
I love my P30 SK Light LEM with Tritium night sights. It is my EDC in a Safari OWB paddle with retention. My USP Compact .45 fits the same holster. I have about 2,000 rds through it from many manufacturers and have NEVER had a failure. I have found that the Federal 115gr ball and 115 Hydra Shock print nearly exactly the same. The pistol is a darling to shoot. Easy on the hands, accurate, 100% reliable (so far) and easy to carry concealed. I liked and subbed. Good luck with the channel; I'll be watching from here on out.
I have it's younger brother, the vp9sk, and it's been my favorite ccw and I have tried many. Have to agree with you on the carry factor!
I have one and love it. So far, I am more comfortable with this as a ccw than any other I have tried. And I definitely disagree that it will become obsolete.
Thank you I'm sold very informative. Purchasing one today
I love, love love my P30SK V1 LEM with tritium sights. The LEM trigger is like pulling a striker fire, but with a hammer. I added pinky grips to all three 10rd mags for a better grip, and also purchased a 13rd mag. Looking for a 15rd. I use a Vedder LightTuck holster, which allows me to deep-carry AIWB under a tucked-in dress shirt or when casually dressed. Administering the trigger to remove a slide is a common reason for a negligent discharge. My friend has a 9mm slug sitting next to her spine because of her EX-boyfriend's error with his Glock. There is no trigger pull required to strip the slide from a P30SK. Thumb on the hammer when holstering is also a great mitigation to avoiding a negligent discharge from a snagged trigger. There is also a variant with a safety for those who prefer a safety, but it will be a DA/SA not a LEM.
Thanks for this review! I just purchased this weapon and I'm tickled with it!
What is the on street price ? Like $800?
Love the P30sk v3 sa/da ,A well thought out gun from decocker( Im a lefty ) to the magazine release Ambi , grip panels make the ergos great , shoots like a full size ,,, Just bought the new 15 round magazine after years of owning one ,, It just keeps getting better
Well done video. A long time ago I passed up on a P30SK for a M&P9c, both excellent carry firearms.. At the time, the M&P’s ergos shined and it was a tad bit easier to conceal for me. As in a lot of cases like this, I wanted both. I don’t regret the 9c, but I always wondered about the road less travelled. I’ve carried it a fair amount.
But I’ve always had the P30 in my head, fast forward until this year. My buddy had one in his store and I grabbed it. It is a V3. I do t have the LEM trigger but it is very smooth just really long. I shoot it well. It is a bit thick in the butt, but not outrageously so. I’ve heard you can get the trigger tuned. I might look into that. I wound up dropping an Apex trigger into the M&P and it makes a huge difference. I’ve heard ppl complain about the decocker and although it is in a weird place, it is easy to engage once you get used to it. It isn’t really a deal breaker for me. When you use it you usually aren’t under pressure: would prefer they went Sig’s way and just threw the night sights onto it, even though the stock glow sights are serviceable. I think I’ll throw a tru glow front sight onto it.
Using a full size USP for my home gun, and I think I’ll go with this for my carry. Thanks!
I love my vp9. And my uspc, p30sk. The arex delta m has taken their spot for cc though. It def is a step down from my hks in feel and quality, but it’s so slim and lightweight, of course reliable.
I had to sell most of my collection when i took ill during the pandemic (and our wonderful healthcare system....) a collection I worked really really hard to get. Got the SK v3 for $500, sold a Glock 26 for that 100% worth it! Sold one of my Berettas to get a SIG P226 .40 DAK which convinced me I needed a 9mm da/sa SRT one, and the SK, of course, convinced me of getting the Longslide of the p30. I got a P2000 v1 LEM 9mm which is fantastic, let me dad use that for carry (right now a new beloved carry is a SIG P250 Compact and it is fucking fantastic with this wilson combat frame and a flat metal trigger also designed for the P360 or 365....the one the military adopted). Anyway.... Out of quite a few carry pieces (The Kimber K6 revolver and Chiappa White Rhino being two other favorites. P2000, Glock 19, even my SIG Scorpion full size 1911 were fun to carry, Colt M1991 Compact, etc...) but the HK P30sk, P2000 and SIG P250 (for semi autos) and White Rhino and K6 Snub .357 revolver, Ruger LCR and Smith 442 performance center for reovolvers. I don't mind the hammer on the white rhino, and the K6 i avery smooth DAO. if only every revolver was as smooth as the SIG DAK on the 250 and 226 DAK (250 is better actually).
The P30SK in a V1 LEM would be my recommend for newbies, or a p2000 v1 LEM for slightly longer. I also found a custom 15 rounder sleeve that added a third finger groove so it felt like, oh, i forgot my favorite carry, and the one it feels like with the 15 round sleeve: SIG P220 Carry model, reg-size grip, compact slide. Actually a smidge slimmer on the slide than the p30 bue the .45 makes it about the same otherwise.
I'd also say the sIG P225 a1 (or if you get lucky and find a W. German 225 specifically a P6) would be a MUST HAVE.,
Newly converted to the da/sa p30sk. Carried cz p01/ sphinx sdp for years. I love the p30…. Smaller and lighter but it shoots like a full size pistol ( i completely agree). The euro mag release and decocker location is really growing on me too. I love my cz/ sphinxs but thie p30sk is the perfect carry pistol for me and am very happy i gave this pistol a chance
Totally agree. Love this pistol. I have the much lighter p365 and Hellcat as well. Really like both. But I find myself reaching for this pistol just as often. Heavier and thicker but gives me confidence, both in the hammer in holstering, LEM trigger and recoil management. Carry it in a Hidden Hybrid or Stealthgear holster.
Love the P30sk!
Yes yes yes!! I use a Vedder LightTuck AIWB holster in black carbon fiber with a claw. I carry it everywhere even under just a t-shirt.
I have a hell cat and sig and a beretta and this is my favorite the grip alone sold me it’s def a beast !!!
The Walther P99c is a great subcompact pistol for carry also. It has the Walther AS trigger system the same as the 99AS. The magazine from the 99AS will fit the subcompact model. Also, there is a grip sleeve adapter that Walther makes that slides onto the bigger mag that gives you a full size grip when the mag is inserted into the 99c.
Love your videos. For the AIWB CC crowd (who prefer a “thumb on hammer when re-holstering” option and who favor the grip angle and quality of the Sig and HK options,) I’d love to see you do a comparison between the P30SK LEM versus the Sig P250 DAO subcompact… Or the P30 LEM versus the P250 DAO compact. The cost difference for an AIWB self-defense carry gun is significant between these subcompact options, and it seems like it’s a worthwhile consideration to look at both. While you lose some things on the Sig (sculpted ergonomics, paddle release, shorter reset and lighter follow up shots) with the 250 you gain a MUCH more affordable gun, modularity options, 2 more rounds in the subcompact setup, and infinitely more accessories available in light of the P320 line. Thanks for considering.
Purchased with red dot already installed. My top everyday carry and accurate
Excellent video
Excellent, smooth trigger.
Agreed!
Have the P30sk V3 9mm and its the first pistol I'e ever owned that when drawn from CCW position it just seems on target (sights aligned). I did just install the Greyguns flat trigger and it just makes it better.
The best reviews
Initially bought a VP9 and an Sig 365 compact. Traded the Sig towards a P30SK. Was told at store I wouldn't like it but I love it. The VP9 and the P30Sk are awesome guns with great comfort, reliability and concealment ability.
did you get the p30sk with the LEM or DA/SA? I recently sold my 365xl as well-- didn't love it. Between the high bore axis and flat trigger, I never really got comfortable with that gun. I decided to enter the DA/SA world instead and get proficient with these guns and now own 3 CZ's. However, both the p-01 and p-07 are a bit bulky for CC, and I'm looking for a smaller option. Trying to decide between the p30sk LEM vs the p2000sk LEM (or DA/SA).
@@SigAXG320 many people love the LEM because of the consistent and light (relative to DA, anyway) pull. I have the P30 sk in DA/SA, from LTT, so the trigger is great, but many find the stock trigger pull a sticking point with this version of the p30. Since you are committed to DA/SA with the CZ’s, you may want to at least try the DA/SA version. That said, not sure how much smaller and lighter it will be than the p-01. I also have the 365 xl and it is, of course, thinner, and lighter (and a bit taller) than the p30sk, and I seem to shoot it OK.
@@scooter5940 Thanks. I've thought about the LEM version and I know LTT does a great job with these guns' triggers, albeit at a sig cost. The p30sk and p2000sk both have shorter barrels c/w to the p01 and p07 CZ's so that's part of my reason: sub compact vs compact models. Also, I own a Sig229 DAK in 40 cal. Picked it up used at a great price and I love the trigger, which is the equivalent of the LEM by HK. But it does take a lot of practice to get used to for sure-- I'm not proficient yet. My CZ's in 9mm in SA mode are much easier to shoot.
I am an army veteran and I have never conceal carried but this is the sidearm I want to start.
Very nice gun and video.
I have a P30L w/ the LEM and my opinion is the LEM is the perfect trigger. It provides the consistency of a striker or single action, the safety and restrike capabilities of a double action, and allows you to pin the hammer down while holstering.
I prefer the V3 trigger, due to that heavy first round trigger pull that the LEM trigger lacks - but you're right, the LEM trigger P30 series also gives double-strike capability that the VP9 series lacks.
I have carry 13 other pistols and sold most of them but i have kept my HK P30 SK it is the best concealed carry for me and is my best accurate pistol.
Definitely my favorite edc
Am a new subscriber to your site and have to say that I find your videos very informative and helpful. I have lived in Canada for a number of years but will be moving back home to Florida soon I hope and will be buying a handgun again. Hence my finding your videos helpful. Have been considering this model with the night sights and 13 shot extended mag as well as the Glock 19x. Hopefully you will address that gun at some point. Keep up the good work. Thanks!
Thanks for you kind feedback! Also, the G19X is in the lineup and coming soon.
@@TheConcealedCarryChannel can you not use the regular p30 for concealed carry? I find the slimmer build of that one feels better in the hand
I also have a p30sk I love mine and fits great in hand…
I have the variant 3 and love it. The only issue I have is the double action trigger pull is extremely long and heavy. But once you go into single action, it is the sweetest gun you’ll ever shoot. Also, it’s perfect for concealed carry.
I shot a rental at the range last week to see if I liked it well enough to spend the $ on it. That DA pull, you really have to bear down. For the limited experience I had with it, I have to use different finger placement between the DA and SA to be accurate.
I picked up a Glock 33 instead, the P30sk was 50% higher, and I have been looking for a 357 SIG. HK isn't making 357 SIG anymore.
I have asked the store call me if they get a P2000sk and the price hasn't gone insane.
You need to experience the LEM trigger variant. It takes less than 5 lb to pull, completely emulating a striker fire trigger.
I have the VP9SK (wonderful gun) and the P30SK or the P2000SK are on my short list of "wanna haves".
I finally found a P30L V3 a few months back and it instantly became my favorite handgun ever. Passed on a P30SK a month ago as I am not a fan of the LEM trigger. I went in to the same gun store today wanting to trade a Glock and came across the P30SK without the LEM trigger and was instantly sold.
I’ve gone back and forth between should I get a LEM or v3. Still haven’t decided yet. My local store has a v3 right now and I’m so tempted to get it but at the same time some people say the V1 light LEM is better so I’m just not sure and haven’t had a chance to feel the LEM for myself yet. What do you like about the v3 that’s better for you?
@@DIYDad1 I like having the external hammer. But I also found that the SK was not my cup of tea. Although it is a very well made firearm, I didn't care for the snappiness (as it has a very high bore axis) I went with a Sig P365 XL and I am adequately satisfied......but am getting a Staccato C2 soon.
The LEM and the DA/SA is fantastic.
@@Catgat37 I know that I'm late to post but have a question for you. When you say the p30sk was snappy, are you referring to muzzle flip or the felt recoil (thump in the hand)? The Glock 26 can sting your hands a little bit if you shoot for a long period of time compared to a something like a CZ 75 Compact steel frame which you could shoot for long time with no issues. I've shot the Sig p365 XL and thought that it would be the perfect carry gun due to its size but I prefer hammer fired weapons for ccw. I've never fired a p30sk and I'm trying to get feedback before I purchase.
@@bcreative83 Felt recoil was okay. Muzzle flip was what I was referring to. I just have weird feelings about subcompact pistols. I will be trying a cz p10s next.
Great video. I wonder how you would compare HK P30SK, Glock 19, SIG p320 X Compact, Springfield Hellcat and Beretta PX4 Compact or Sub Compact, Beretta Cheetah. As a person who prefers traditional DA/SA hammer fired pistols, I am very much interested in this pistol. Thank you for an excellent review.
You’re causing me to commit the sin of GUN LUST. 😃. Shot an LEM once a couple of years ago. I want more. 👍🏻😂
I own both the p30sk v1 and a vp9sk and I gotta say,I prefer the p30sk.sweet little pistol.both great carry options
It's one of the best carry guns I have ever owned. I like it so much I have spares.
@@TheConcealedCarryChannel I wouldn't mind an extra p30 or two myself
I love my LEM P30sk! I train with the flat base plate but carry with the 13 rounder appendix and either the 15 or 20 round as spares. The 20 rounders work fine in it no problems! They do look funny with the gap but they work. I used to wear my Ritchie leather company ankle holster at the gym with the flat base plate till Covid hit... Now I just stuff it in my love handles.... 🤣
So you train with a different setup than you carry?…. That’s very interesting and something I have never heard before… would love to hear your reasoning!
You can buy a spacer for the gap I have p30sk 3 and I use the vp9 20 rd mag bought a spacer on HK website I believe
Thank you for an in depth review. Just picked up the p30sk because of the details you provided .....along with a sticky holster. Now I'm trying to find a good appendix holster with a claw and wedge system .
I have a P30SK carried AIWB. Few holster vendors manufacturer for the P30 series. I highly recommend getting a kydex holster from Vedder Holsters, which comes with a claw. I added a wedge but soon never used it. YMMV on using a wedge.
About sticky holsters, I will not use a soft holster. They do not protect the trigger, retention is poor if you fall (never say "never"). Respectfully your choice.
I just purchased one today. I hope it is as great as everyone says!
How do you like it?
@@davidjs74 I shot it at the range this past weekend and really enjoyed it. I have a hellcat and the recall on the P 30 is less. It's a pretty good firearm.
I wanna see a version of this with the tall iron sights and a threaded barrel tip
I have the sks version as well as VP9L and Glock 26 and my new all around favorite is the P30sks.
What holster do you have for the SKS?
Should do a video on the HK VP9SK
I have 2 p30 sk,, they my fav ccw
I’ve carried the P30SK for over six years, since my job has me either on the move or sitting in a car/at a desk I’ve been very happy with carrying it in Sticky brand holster. My one real complaint about the firearm is the seemingly small choice in light options.
The best options, that I’ve found/tried at least, are the Streamlight TLR-7/8 and the Olight PL-Mini 2. I’ve stuck with the PL Mini 2 but had to cut and smooth the lip of the holster on the side with the lights quick release catch. It kept getting caught on the holster bringing up every time I would practice drawing. After my trimming the gun comes out nice and smooth.
It’s always good to practice drawing from your holster, you don’t want to find out about any issues when you _really_ need your system to work.
Good video, I'm not a huge fan of subcompact pistols but have been strongly contemplating adding either a P30sk or P2000sk to my growing collection. Also a huge fan of the LEM trigger though I currently only have v2 variants. It's my understanding the v0 is an unauthorized conversion of a v3 (voids HK warranty).
What is version zero?
@Zoltex82 v0 is when you convert the decocker model (v3) to an LEM trigger. Unlike the USP series which uses the same frame/slide for all variants the P30 series has a different slide/frame for the decocker and LEM variants
@@billassande7628 Ah, thank you. I have a DA/SA with a safety, and was going to have a gunsmith delete the safety. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t stepping into the “0” territory.
I own it, I love it, I trust my life to it.
WONDER BAR ♦️.
Just got my 16 year old into shooting but he's left handed but I still wanted a firearm that I could carry. This gun came up over and over for ambidextrous controls with great concealment and accuracy. Finding one during Covid has been nearly impossible.
Agreed. Getting guns right now is a huge challenge.
@@TheConcealedCarryChannel plenty of guns down south for sale
Thank you for the video. It’s a clear and convincing presentation. I was thinking about buying either the P30 or the USP. I’m leaning toward the USP because I heard people say the USP has better build quality. Having both would you agree?
Both are great, USP is bigger blockier, and is less ergonomic. But owning either/or is a win/win, owning both is my plan (just have the P30sk now).
One thing I notice about my P30 sk, is how much cleaner it is, after a trip to the range. Not a lot of residue gets inside the firearm. The same goes for my P30 & P30L. For me, I like the decocker at the back.
Truly a great pistol. I’m trying to warm up to that rear decocker, but it’s been tough. lol.
Which do you prefer, p30sk or the L?
@@TheConcealedCarryChannel can you dry fire h&k without issues/fears? Manual silent.
Also says not to adjust sites but instead get it to a "h&k certified technician" for the adjustment. I haven't fired it yet but wondered if such cert people are at some retail outlets or what. I couldn't find a list of the closest one to me. Thanks.
@@TheConcealedCarryChannelLeft thumb activation has been my solution to the decocker’s placement.
Although I am beyond ecstatic my agency went from HK to Glock in the 12.5 yrs I carried a p2000 putting thousands of rounds thru it in .40 it never once failed me. I just hated the trigger on that thing. I bought it back just as a keep sake tho.
I have the P30SK, VP9, and my fave the P2000.
I love HK! They’re beautiful, so comfortable, and high quality.
That being said, I have zero reason to ever carry them anymore due to having the Sig P365 and P365XL, which are so much smaller and have more capacity. Unfortunately, both those Sigs have made nearly every other CCW gun obsolete to me.
good guns, but i prefer that double stack feel. I’ve shot the P365, Hellcat, 43X, M&P Shield and i feel like i just need more gun in my hands all the time lol all good guns, but a matter of preference for sure
@@bigfudge20 I love striker fired pistols but I would feel more comfortable carrying one in the chamber with a da/sa with a decocker
Of the P30sk, P2000, VP9 which do you prefer and why? I keep going back and forth between the USP c, P2000,, and P30. They are all awesome I want all of them 😝
I love the P2000 series for the ergo, grips and rear decocker. Being a lefty sealed the deal for me. The P200O is really an updated and streamlined P30. Mechanically similar, but love the feel of the P2000 grip. I own a LEM SK and reg P2000 SA/DA. LEM for carry and the other for home. Once you learn the LEM its great, which doesnt bother me given other light long DA trigger guns I have had, but the SA/DA is my fav.
@@Endwatcher7 didn’t the p2000 come before the P30?
i love HK
How does the Steyr A2 MF C9 do in your opinion side by side against this one?
I love my Vp9Sk
The usp compact woth flat basepad is very close to p30sk size. Surprisingly
Recommend an OWB for this?
Stuck with the p2k in Cali. This really what I want
Leaving that commie state was really hard for me, but I can tell you once the dust settles it sure is nice to live in a free state. Best of luck with the homeless, bro! 😛
Great gun, usp was designed to be bomb proof though. It’s a much more robust pistol. The p30 is a great line, but the usp has been developed and tested to some crazy extremes.
i love this gun but never bought 1 because it only came in 9mm , i do have the its big brother in 40s&w & 357sig.
Also great choices.
After eighteen years straight this gun dethroned my G26. I have V1 (LEM)
I went from 15 years of Ultra Compact 1911 .45 to P30SK V1...Love it...
@@michaelmulholland3504 Hahaha. Ny cousin just did the same thing (Kimber) after seeing my P30SK.
HK makes top tier quality guns. They’re just always 10 years behind.
You ever try the Vp9sk, if so how does it compare to the P30sk?
I have shot the VP9sk. It is a very good shooting pistol, I prefer hammer fired to striker fired if I have the option, but they are both great shooters.
can you carry this gun if you are a very skinny dude... I want one but I am worried about that
what are your top 3 carry guns?
That sounds like a good title for a video! I’ll answer that in Monday’s video! Thanks for watching!
The v3 is my flavor
What holster do you recommend for IWB?
I normally carry this gun IWB using a Sticky MD-4. It’s one of the most comfortable setups I’ve ever carried. Sticky holsters are not everyone...if retention is important you will want to use something else.
First to watch
Thanks for watching!
My carry. I have big hands... so nice...I don't like striker fire pistols... I carry appendix.... no safety... don't need it.. . Not gonna shoot yourself like a striker fire Glock
...
How do you feel about the LEM trigger in HK’s?
Love it. I am a bit biased in this regard, because I carried a USP .40 with a LEM trigger as a duty weapon and loved it too.
Couldn’t stand it and sold the 45sk that had it. Vastly overcompensated for the long reset. Vastly prefer v3 with cocked and locked when necessary.
I’m looking for a good iwb holster for it. Any suggestions?
The Freedom Carry by Crossbreed Holsters is outstanding. www.crossbreedholsters.com/freedom-carry-iwb-holster.html
Incog eclipse
Vedder Holsters Light Tuck, either set straight for IWB or canted for AIWB carry.
I’m looking for my first gun when I turn 21, I’m in between this and the vp9sk 🤨
I have the P30sk LEM. It gives you an easy trigger like a striker fire, double action double strike capability, and the security of reholstering with your thumb on the hammer to mitigate a ND.
@@rtucker1004 I think you might have just sold me. What kind of holster do you run with it?
@@joseph_8486 Mine isn't an SK but I carry my P30 LEM in an Aliengear 3.5 IWB.
I have a grey polymer frame full sized p30, I really like it because I haven’t seen another one like it. But now I want the sk, how much did you pay for yours? I wanna know what’s a reasonable price because these days people will not cut any deals
If Glock is able to fit 10R in that small mag. I feel like hk should’ve been able to fit 12R in their own mag
Wish the HK P30SK would take the .45 ammo and 9mm ammo like the P30 does .....
I jus bought a P30SK today at the gun show and yea this gun in a .45 would be sweet
Will the p30 take the usp magazine’s?
No. The P30SK mags are the same as VP9SK mags. P30 mags = VP9 mags. Most online vendors cross-tag these.
@@rtucker1004 thank you
What’s the reasonable price range for a sk
699-730
Looking at one today with night sights $850

I know HK P30SK needs brass casings. What grain do u prefer???
I use 115 GR Sig V-crown in many compact 9mm. Good accuracy and control.
@@TheConcealedCarryChannel Sellier is really good ammo for it
Federal makes a 124 grain HST that matches perfectly with American Eagle 124 gr fmj. Neither is +P. They both hit the same point. However good luck finding either in-stock.
I want to have H.K P30sk with concealed carry gun license from federal court and intenational court.
P30SK with threaded barrel!
Pardon my dumbness but I see no hammer
I thought P-30 was hammer -fired.
You didn’t watch the video. This p30 variant is DAO. You do not really see the hammer until the tiger is pulled.
It is. The LEM V1 (shown) has a bobbed hammer that is cocked only by cycling the slide. The DA/SA V3 has a traditional hammer that you can cock with your thumb or the slide.
When I saw the title of this video I figured it must be 4 or 5 years old. Because 4 or 5 years ago you could make a good argument about why a P30SK is a really good carry gun compared to a Glock 26 or other subcompacts. But now? The Glock 26 and 19, and this little P30SK are mostly obsolete. The micro sub compact range of pistols like the P365, Hellcat, the taurus something or other, and now the Ruger Max 9, and M&P Shield plus give you all the capacity in much less weight in a much thinner package. Back when then P30SK was new if you wanted a smaller thinner package you had to go single stack like a PPS. Thats not the case anymore. If you like the gun and want to carry it, great. It would work well as a companion gun to a P30 or P30L. What you should be arguing is, is the P30SK still even relevant?
You are overlooking a lot of factors that people consider when choosing a carry gun. A lot of shooters have larger hands, or simply don't feel like they can solidly grip some of the smaller offerings you mentioned. Also, this channel is not just about the latest and greatest little guns on the market. We will review pretty much anything that is a carry contender that viewers request. I think we can just agree to disagree. Thanks for watching anyway!
Have you seen the Mossberg MC2C? It's very nice.
Lots of people, myself included, like the extra peace of mind that hammer-fired and, in particular, the LEM style trigger provides. If you're someone who wants the added safety of being able to hold your finger over the hammer when reholstering then the P30SK or P2000SK are pretty much your only options.
@@TheConcealedCarryChannel add in people like me who's max capacity is 10 rounds - in NY. I just purchased my first HK - a P30L. I love that gun. I don't carry it. My current carry is a Glock 48, Walther PPS or a Sig P365. I look forward to adding this SK to my safe and put it into my carry rotation. Great review and video. Thank you.
The G19 and G26 may be obsolete but not the P30sk. The LEM trigger is unique and the ergonomics are unmatched on the P30sk.
The best SK hand gun. It's german. That's all.
To bad hk don't agree with citizens owning guns. Next
Yeah, nobody cares about that......there are ammo makers and primer makers that don't think we should own guns. So stop shooting bullets while you're at it
Glock 43x stomps all over this HK for concealed carry
For what most people want, yes. But comparing that to the p30 sk is kind of silly.
Positives..
1)Hammered fired
2)Great ergonomics
3)2021 13 rd or 10 rd magazines
Negatives
