(GrabAGun) $750 HK P30S V3 9mm DA/SA 15+1 Safety

Recommended Posts

(From GrabAGun promo emails)

 

Seems to be a Good price on P30S, all others sell it starting $800+, Buds sells it at $840 or so.

$750 + $6 shipping seems to be very tempting. If only I had permits in hand...

agreed.

 

Also I have a feeling we'll see some of the bigger box/internet stores discounting the P30 with the supposed pending announcement of new SPF9 from H&K, in fear of having them sit because no one wants the 'old' gun when the 'new' one comes out.

I don't believe the SPF9 is a replacement. Its a different system. GAG is just sitting on a ton of them from what I understand.

Never said it was a replacement. Only said that it's going to be 'new'... and some people treat guns like fashion accessories. also there's the whole 'OMG!!!! STRIKER FIRED!!! HK!!!! MUST BUY!!!!' mentality. So I could see some shops being worried about sitting on P30's when everyone's looking for an SPF9.

For that, buy a ppq

I'm trying to. Just got the call today that my 5" PPQ is on its way after a month of waiting. There will be another PPQ in Hillsborough soon.

If only I had a good, reasonbly nearby place to shoot it...

ppq over P30? are you insane?!?!?

don't you know the P30 is made of pure unobtainium and blessed with mur water?

that when you fire it 10,000 angels sing on the head of a pin and it smells like rainbow unicorn farts?

Ones a hammer fired gun and the other a striker fired gun. Two opposites, well at least for me.

 

Other than the grip being similar and the m1 having a euro mag release I see no other reason to go ppq over Hk. Especially at the price above. That $200 less than normal pricing.

Also the lem / ppq trigger are very different.

 

I'll have to admit that I was tempted to buy this one from GAG just because of price. I would convert it to lem, have the safety and see how it runs.

 

Can't bring myself to do it though. Two many wants at the moment for another p30. If it was a 40, that might've swayed me.

If you want a hammered gun that's one thing. I will admit that I've never fired an lem trigger but I can infer from the majority of reports that the ppq trigger is preferred by most shooters, let alone the stock HK. I can't think of a reason to spend more money?

If you're a new shooter, probably not. The m2 having the American mag releases is a negative for me. The mag release on the trigger guard make is so much easier to drop a mag using my trigger finger.

 

The stock trigger of an Hk is nuts but I generally modify everything anyway so it doesn't affect my choices. The lem trigger is light and I prefer it over my sigs that have DA pulls of 6-7 pounds.

I have an m1. I'm not trying to bust your balls. I'm just struggling to find the value in buying a more expensive gun then spending more to drop a trigger that makes it more comparable to a cheaper gun. Maybe I'm too new.

It's not about being expensive or cheap. It's a completely different manual if arms.

 

With a revolver you time the cylinder, with a hammer fired gun you can feel the trigger going back to the break, I don't get that with a striker fired gun.

OK so its just preference against striker fired guns. That makes more sense to me. Personally the ppq is the only striker fired gun I have, and dont have an issue with the take up compared to my m9. In fact I really enjoy the extremely short reset as do many others. I do dry fire extensively with it, maybe that makes a difference.

For Sigs, the reset matters for some reason. For the Hk, I get by without even noticing. I did send a p30 to gray guns to have the reduced reset and action job done on a lem p30 I have. Should be back in a few weeks and I'll report back to what I think.

 

My preferences are to have something be as good as it can be. The p30 feels great and I prefer hammer fired gun lately. I don't dislike the striker fired guns. I've shot the ppq and shot it well. Better then a Glock for sure. Don't like the m&p, have no interest in the sig 320 and doubt the new striker fired Hk will appeal to me.

 

I shot with Shane45 above and we've run drills, plate racks in a competition form a lot. I have to work/ practice twice as much to shoot a Glock as well as a sig or Hk. No idea why. Hammer fired guns seem to work out better for me almost all of the time.

It comes down to what your preferences and value are. Todd Greens 95xxx rounds through a p30 lem are hard to argue with.

 

That being said, glocks last forever.

 

The only real issue is that Walter no longer makes the m1 which is in my opinion a bad idea. They should make both.

      I get emails from Davidson's and other distributors.  This week they are having a special on HK P30L in 40 S&W for $469.  Assume + shipping + dealer markup.

      Also seems like a deal? on M9A3.

      Also, the Walther Creed is $249.  This was actually a really nice gun when I got to play with it at Shot Show.  Surely better than the lower end Smiths, etc.

      After quite a while and plenty of talking about it(as some of you know, and are tired of hearing about my yearn for a VP9) i finally have an HK VP9 LE model of my own. I cant wait to put some rounds through it. Its is just a beauty. Makes me instantly want a collection of them. Long story short i am very happy!
       
      However...I was going through the manual and running through the info in the case when I came across the typical "spent casing" pouch. Its dated for a month out! As in July 2015! I found this weird. For anyone else who has purchased a VP9 or an HK pistol, do you know when the pouch/ casing was dated? Was the date pre or post you getting it? I dont imagine its of any real significance either way, just weird.
       
      Anyone else had any similar experiences with any firearm, HK or not?

      Was chatting with a buddy of mine at the range, who owns both pistols, and prefers the Walther PPQ just slightly over H&K VP9. Never shooting the H&K VP9, I was surprised by his observation due to H&K's rep. But his view was just that: people love VP9 over PPQ due to the "hype" and "rep" of H&K. Full disclosure: he is a H&K fan and loves his VP9.
       
      Question to those who shot both: forget brand name, which do you prefer and why?

      I'm considering picking up an HK USC 45 in the near future.  In stock form, it doesn't really do a whole lot for me, but the UMP conversion is enticing.  I don't think it's a very practical purchase, but I like the uniqueness and I've wanted to add a pistol caliber carbine to my collection.
       
      Anyway, my question is if anyone here owns a UMP conversion and if so, where did you have the conversion and compliance work done?  I'd rather give a local gunsmith the business if they're experienced with the conversion, rather than send it across the country.  I'd need to have the USC receiver milled out a bit to accept UMP magazines, the UMP stock pinned, and magazines blocked, while maintaining 922r compliance.  I'm hoping someone in NJ is familiar with and willing to handle the work.

      So Sgt Toadette started a thread about a silly-vilian HK G36 coming out that's not an SL8. Somewhere in that thread we mentioned the HK MR556 and how there's some not good reviews/experiences with them etc. I didn't want to deviate too far from the G36 clone... so... new thread.
       
      /rant on
       
      Yesterday I got an email from Midway... they're selling a MR556 complete upper (just the upper) for $1,800+!!! (On sale!)
       
      I put my AR together from high quality parts, and don't think I spent that much on the whole dang rifle. (Not including optic.)
       
      Is that crazy... or is it just me? 
       
      From what I've read...  I don't want one anyway... but geez... that price seems outrageous.
