I started this TH-cam channel to originally show some firearms I had purchased and experiment with making a TH-cam channel. I have since moved to doing actual tabletop reviews of firearms to help people out that are looking into new firearms to purchase. The channel has since expanded to include Video game streams that I thought might be entertaining and funny to watch.
The channel continues with this format today and is also used as a way to experiment different digital media and video editing ideas for my current job and to document my journey as a digital media designer and firearms enthusiast.
The goal is to help viewers learn more about firearms, help viewers in their decisions in what to buy, and to learn from my viewers as well.

Nice update. I recently purchased my second p30sk which came with one 15rd and two 12rd mags. The 12rd mags had pinky extensions attached with a flush plate in the box. Interestingly, when compared to my older 10rd mags, with pinky extension, they look exactly the same. So it looks like HK is trying to address the low mag capacity problem everyone hates. I can't find these 12rd mags on retail sites yet but I hope to soon.
Just bought my first HK today (HK P30sk hammer-fired). I guess flat mags won't work for avg adult male hand? I like pinky mag but it does increase vertical print a bit compared to flat.
One is striker the other is not. I don’t want to appendix carry a striker fire aiming at my junk!
Amen brother.
Dude i have the lem, and i got a 13 rd mag with mine, buds gun shop has 13 and 15 round factory mags from HK for the p30 sk, which are $39
I bought this exact gun and its amazing. Great gun for sure. I think I maybe an HK snob for the rest of my life
😂
The struggle is real! I carry a P2000 daily.
@@Lexicologist1971 P2000 is incredbily sexy and was the main contender with my P30SK! Been looking for a USP45 but good luck with that. May settle on a CZ now
@@kleezer1 , I don't think CZ makes a 357 gun. My P2000 is a 357.
@@Lexicologist1971 That is very very sexy ;) I was meaning I wanted to CZ in 9mm
Slavinatorski- heads up, if you swap the follower and base plate from a 15 to 17 full size P30 upgrade magazine kit, your 10 rounder (flat base plate) will magically become a 12 rounder.....13 counting the one in the tube
just saw you also have a 30L with 17rd mags.....you can swap out the follower and baseplate from the 17 to the 10 to make it a 12.
Picked up a hk p30l lem, love it. I own a sig p365 and yes the capacity is good. But it's very much a compromise. It doesn't feel like I'm holding a real gun 🤣 although it has its place.
When I hold and shoot a Hk vp9 or p30, it's like ,yeah now this is the real deal...👍
I completely understand that feeling, it's the same on my end as well. You actually have something to hold onto with the HK and it feels great in hand as well.
Good video. I have two of these. A v1 (LEM) with the glow sights and a v3 (no safety, DA/SA) with factory night sights. The 10 rd capacity doesn’t really bother me. I just carry a spare 13rd USPc mag and it gives me peace of mind. I find the P30SK a great option for folks like me who are not completely comfortable appendix carrying a striker.
just got my p30sk yesterday, comes from the factory with a flush 12 round mag and a 15 round mag now.
Love the video! Just purchased an HK P30SK V1 !
Thanks! Good purchase I'm sure you're going to love it!!
My fav/
Great vid. Im a Sig guy through and through. Picked one of these up the other day in my local shop and it just felt right in my hand. Went home and started researching these and fell in love. Went back to my local shop and they didnt have the one i was after. Placed an order and should be here next week. Cannot wait to send some freedom seeds down range. Thanks for your tutorial
PS
Love you referring to the P365 as a P30 lol
Nice review! I just picked this firearm up myself and look forward to going to the range.
Latest and greatest isn’t always best. I’ve owned several of the micro compacts and yes they are a dream to carry but not all that fun to shoot. Plus I think HK quality crushes them all.
Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
Thank you very much and you as well!!
How are you liking it so far?
@@BagsEsquire Great firearm. Nice trigger though not as smooth as stock Sig P series DA/SA guns though lighter and easier to carry. The night sights are excellent and worth the money.
@@Bonham-ik1pe Good to hear! I had a USP Compact back in 2001 that I really loved and ending up trading it along with some others and always regretted that one. I started thinking about getting another but I love my P30L so that stated pulling me in the direction of the P30SK. I have one coming in next week but the V1 variant. My P30L is a V3 but really love that LEM trigger pull. Can’t wait for it to come in. Thanks for the response!
Nice recap, HKs are built like tanks. Had one and got rid of it for the VPSK. Trigger is different depending on the model you get. That single action though... I definately agree with you on the capacity, I think we've been spoiled by the micro compacts that are being released now.👍 as always.
Thank you, I'm hoping to see them drop something new on the market soon. I agree, these micros are definitely spoiling us lol.
I have the DA/SA version, no safety, from Langdon Tactical. I'd challenge you to find a smaller, lighter pistol in DA/SA - that's where this firearm really shines. I also have a P365 and a P365XL Spectre that I carry - yeah, smaller, and much thinner and lighter - but both striker-fired. I updated my P30 SK mags so they now hold 12 flush. Great gun.
Good video. I ordered one Saturday. I can't wait to get it. I'm curious how that holster looks while it is on. Is that an outside the belt or inside? If it's outside how do you conceal with that? Thanks again. I ordered this same gun but with the 13 and 15 round mags.
excellent review. Don't like the low capacity on those mags. Seems for the size of the gun it should hold more in the mag' rather than getting bigger mags. I think HK is coming out with higher capacity mags I heard. Also, for CCW I don't like the 3lb 3.7lb pull a little light for me. Also, the reset seems way forward. Other than that I hear it's a great gun!
This will be my first HK..actually I want the P30. But its role will be fall/winter carry, range, HD if need be whatever…all purpose in other words. I’ll keep my P365X for spring/summer carry.
I have both the P30SK and the P365X as well. The Sig is just so much smaller in every dimension - The two guns aren't even in the same category (compact vs subcompact by 2023 standards). But I think they're the best in their respective categories.
got this recently
what name of the spinny gun stand thing you're using? looks really cool
also how do you feel about the stand off device that hkparts makes for the p30sk? I'm considering getting one mostly because of the cool sci fi aesthetic it gives the gun lol, not sure how the laser/light will fit though
great content!
Hey, thanks! That's a rotating display I picked up off Anazon. Pretty affordable too. I think the stand off deviced look really cool to be honest. They should help with recoil a bunch too.
I love my P30SK LEM with tritium sights. I bought 13 and 15 rd mags, and added pinky extensions to two of my three 10s. My Vedder AIWB holster has a wedge. H&K is perfection all around.
0p
Idk man, I hate that LEM reset.
It's also too chunky for IWB.
I can carry a Sig P365XL or Glock 43x & get the same capacity in a smaller, lighter gun that is optics ready, costs less & dosen't have a 17 mile reset on it.
I'm glad you have one that you love, I just don't think these are for everyone.
WHich tritium sights did you get?
@Teal they are the tritium option that shipped from H&K. I don't know whose they install.
@PewPew I completely agree that the P30SK is chunky. I'm 6'3" with XL glove-sized hands. I tried the Sig and Glock ypu mention, but they were too small, and I was over gripping.
I've since added the Graygun trigger reset seer and their flat trigger, which cut reset by 50% while keeping the trigger forward for my long finger.
Also, I removed the wedge not long after adding it to my holster. I am happy to report that I lost a lot of weight, so there's no belly fat pushing on the grip to muzzle my junk. Carrying AIWB was a good inspiration to get on the treadmill!
Great informative, no bs video. I'm about ready to buy a CC pistol. Got a VP-9B 4," PDP Pro full size, SW MP-2 5" and a VP-9B L- Optics Ready(selling) I'm a 160 lb old guy with a 32" waist. Would you guy's advise be IWB for this HK P-30 SK? My hands are girl sized and 70 years old stiff. Thanks for any help!
It can definitely be IWB carried. I usually carried it at 3 O clock. I'm just not comfortable keeping the family jewels under armed guard all day lol.
Thing is a German Tank for sure🤙 Hope your well
It really is, all things good so far. I hope its going well on your end as well!
@@Slavinatorski Things are good
Had one for a couple years, wish hk made one in .357 sig
You can get a P2000SK in 40 and get a 357 barrel for it. I did. It is actually quicker to get back on target in 357 than it is in 40.
I heard they recently had added rounds to the pinky, no?
Who put on sites? I bought first HK today (P30sk) and manual reads that any site adjustment be done by "certified technician." That sounds like sending to Georgia, no?
What holster do you use to hold your gun with light?
Is the safety acts as an 1911 style or dedocker style ?
Do you mind the safety on there? Do you ride it with your thumb/does it irritate your thumb when you’re shooting?
Not at all, I actually prefer the additional option of having one. I found that it was just high enough to not bother my hand at all. If you have hands larger than mine, you could run into those issues, I think. I wear XL gloves.
@@Slavinatorski awesome, good to know thank you! Do you ride it with your right hand thumb in your full firing grip?
@Bryans Journal I don't, my right thumb rests on top of my left thumb when shooting, so there's enough space where I'm not sitting on it. I've heard that there are concerns about accidently activating the safety while firing, but that never happened for me. If you get a chance to see one at a local gun show or shop, see if they will let you get hands-on with it. It's surprisingly comfortable for a small pistol.
Can you help me find those sights on amazon please? Great vid
Thank you very much, if you copy and paste the below text in the search on Amazon it'll pop up with the sights. TH-cam doesn't like links in the comments unfortunately.

Thanks so much
You know I have followed you for quit a while and I hope you can help me. I have searched hard for a V1 Lite Lem trigger kit for an HK USP 9mm compact that I bought in 2000. No success! If you know of anyone in the nation who might be able to help locate one, I would appreciate a heads up. As always, I like what you do. Keep it up.
Hello! Is this the one you are talking about? It seems like most places are sold put on the trigger kits.

@@Slavinatorski That is it! The page you sent me has info about pre-2005 USPc's (like mine) that I didn't know. I will follow up with them. This is a good lead. As you say, no one seems to have any in stock. Thank you for your help.
@@brianshuler6951 Awesome, I'm glad I was able to help!!
@Brian Shular Grey Guns might have it as well
I have one of those with factory extended magazines
How are you liking it so far? I'm a big fan of the line.
@@Slavinatorski Tough to beat a German pistol. I also have a few Walthers.
Does no one check their audio levels before just saying, “eh, no problems.”
