\"All<\/a>

All the beauty and grace of a full-sized P30 – now in a Sub-Kompact fun size!<\/p><\/div>\n

Selecting a carry gun is a very personal choice, and everyone will have their own criteria for weeding out the non-contenders. However, with the market so rich today in high quality and reliable small pistols, no matter how strict your personal requirements are, there are likely a half-dozen or more to choose from. Well, you can add another one to that list \u2013 because the new HK P30SK from Heckler & Koch ticks all the boxes.<\/p>\n

Aside from the obvious things like size, capacity, and reliability, one of the things I look for in a personal carry gun is for it to be a fun shooter. Why? Because if it\u2019s fun to shoot it \u2013 I will. I\u2019ll keep in regular rotation at the range, and I\u2019ll get very proficient with it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m deliberately avoiding using the word \u201ctrain\u201d here, because that seems like work. I don\u2019t want shooting my carry gun to feel like work, I want it to feel as natural as breathing \u2013 and hopefully it will help me continue to do just that.<\/p>\n

\"Specs-HKP30SK\"<\/a>Up Front \u2013 The Specs<\/h2>\n

The P30SK is a true H&K, made in Germany and sporting the traditional HK controls. The gun is fully ambidextrous out of the box, with a slide stop lever on both sides and the signature dual magazine release paddles at the bottom rear of the trigger guard. That mag release is usually the polarizing factor \u2013 some love it and some hate it. I have found them very easy to adapt to and use and I\u2019m not afraid I\u2019ll forget how to use the button style. The slide and barrel are finished in a black \u201chostile environment\u201d finish, which I think means that you can carry this gun at Liberal gatherings. The P30SK is the tiny carry version (the \u2018SK\u2019 is for \u201cSub-Kompact\u201d) of the famous P30. And yes, the magazines from your P30 will fit \u2013 as will those from your VP9 \u2013 because they are the same. We just need someone to make a sleeve!<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The P30SK grip can be adjusted to user preference with alternate side panels and backstraps.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Ergonomics<\/h2>\n

With the caveat that how a gun feels in the hand is a purely subjective opinion from the owner of that hand, I find the P30SK to be one of the most comfortable pistols to hold and shoot among all compacts. It\u2019s even far better than many full sized duty pistols. It all starts with the grip. The polymer frame is molded into a familiar looking HK grip that includes pronounced finger grooves on the front strap, the interesting \u201cbacteria under a microscope\u201d stippling pattern, and the back strap or palm swell that is a changeable part. HK provides three with the pistol \u2013 S,M,L. You\u2019ll need a punch to swap them out, but it\u2019s pretty easy to do and easy to find one that feels \u201cjust right\u201d to you.<\/p>\n

One of the most criticized elements of the stubby compact pistols is the \u201cdangling pinky\u201d complaint. Unless you have extremely tiny hands your pinky will indeed dangle (or wrap beneath, as I prefer) at the bottom of the P30SK. A future nice-to-have would be a 12-round extended magazine with a pinky rest. Controls are, as mentioned, fully ambidextrous and very easy to find and use.<\/p>\n

\"Fully<\/a>

Fully ambidextrous, with no sacrifice for lefties. All controls are in easy reach, even for shooters with small hands. Note the small red \u201cloaded chamber indicator\u201d at the front end of the extractor. I find this feature to be of little value because you can always see it.<\/p><\/div>\n

Both the slide stop\/release and the magazine disconnect can be used without any adjustment to your shooting grip. Both controls also function very smoothly and facilitate speed reloads well. Another element of ergonomics that is important to me, yet seldom discussed, is whether any of the pistol\u2019s controls will interfere with or cause discomfort with a \u201cthumbs forward\u201d grip.<\/p>\n

That is my preferred shooting style, and it\u2019s amazing how many gun makers put a takedown lever or slide stop right where it will either cause me pain, cause me to interfere with the action, or both. On the P30SK, my forward thumb rests comfortably at the front end of the slide stop lever with no problems. This gun is very comfortable to hold and to shoot.<\/p>\n

Trigger(s)<\/h2>\n

My copy of the P30SK has the LEM (Law Enforcement Modification) double-action only (DAO) trigger and a bobbed hammer. Other variants of the P30SK have a double-action \/ single-action (DA\/SA) trigger with a spurred hammer. This is a key distinction between SKUs \u2013 the others being the options of night sights and external safeties. I have fired hundreds of rounds through both trigger types with the P30SK, but I\u2019ll focus on the LEM primarily because I\u2019ve used it more frequently and more recently. I will say that the DA\/SA version is about as good as DA\/SA gets, unless you have a tuned revolver. The DA pull is long and heavy, but surprisingly smooth and grit free, with a crisp break. The SA follow-ups are equally crisp but there is a short amount of pre-travel.<\/p>\n

\"With<\/a>

With the LEM option, it’s the same smooth trigger pull every shot.<\/p><\/div>\n

The LEM trigger is my preference, and I waited extra time to get the P30SK configured with it. I\u2019m not averse to a DA\/SA gun, but given a choice I\u2019d rather have a consistent trigger pull. That\u2019s what the LEM gives you \u2013 a lighter consistent trigger pull every shot, first to last. This essentially makes it a hammer fired gun that behaves and feels more like a striker fired gun. What you give up is a de-cocker. That control is standard on the DA\/SA models (a push button to the left of the hammer) and safely drops the hammer over a loaded chamber without the possibility of firing. This is far preferred to de-cocking the hammer Western-style, where a slip could result in a loud bang.<\/p>\n

The LEM is either hot and ready to rock, or has an empty chamber \u2013 there is no third option. However, unlike a striker fired handgun the LEM trigger does provide a second strike capability \u2013 albeit a very heavy one. The trigger can be pulled with the hammer un-cocked (having perhaps just fallen on a round that did not fire) as many times as desired. The pull is long and heavy, but was not designed for ordinary use. It\u2019s a nice \u201cbest of both worlds\u201d feature.<\/p>\n

The trigger on the LEM is quite nice. But if you\u2019re a striker fan you will notice a few things you might not initially like. Pre-travel (or take-up) is long for the first shot, though it is extremely light. You\u2019ll know when you\u2019re just about there because the tension will change. There is still plenty to go\u2026 maybe another \u00bc\u201d of travel, but it is very smooth. Then the break \u2013 which is grit free and crisp. There is a tiny amount of after-travel, but you\u2019d need a micrometer to measure it. Most likely it is just the parts flexing. Reset is fairly long (maybe 3\/8\u201d) and once again there will be take-up before the next break. This is the nature of hammers instead of strikers in a DAO configuration. It only takes a short time to acclimate to the trigger and you\u2019ll be double tapping with ease. My observed measurements of this trigger yielded an average of 5 lbs. 6 oz.<\/p>\n

The pistol with LEM cannot be put into single-action mode. There is no spur on the hammer for manual manipulation, nor is there a catch in the mechanism where it would remain cocked.<\/p>\n

The Four \u201cF\u2019s\u201d: Form, Function, Fit & Finish<\/h2>\n

Heckler & Koch make good quality firearms. When you pick one up, or just look closely at it, you can see that it was well designed and made. No rough edges, no ill-fitting parts. No part of the gun looks like it was left as \u201cgood enough\u201d. One minor observation is that the \u2018lefty\u2019 slide stop lever (the one on the right side of the pistol) is a bit \u201cjiggly\u201d. I doubt it would actually come off or fail to work, but with regular use I wonder if it might show early wear.<\/p>\n

The quality of fit and finish continues inside, with a cold hammer forged barrel (with polygonal rifling) that is well machined and has a generous and polished feed ramp. The dual spring recoil spring and guide rod assembly is also over-engineered, using a hook\/catch connection to the barrel lug as opposed to the more common partially rounded detent. What this does is transfer the bearing surface on the slide lock pin from the barrel lug where most pistols have it, to the rear plate of the guide rod. My engineering degree hasn\u2019t come in the mail yet, so I won\u2019t try to pretend I know exactly what this accomplishes, but I presume it creates a more stable platform and hence, better accuracy. The flat wire recoil springs help make the gun shoot flat.<\/p>\n

[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n

The dust cover portion of the poly frame includes a picatinny rail that is quite generous for a pistol this small. Over a full inch of mounting space and three notches should accommodate lights, lasers, or other accessories easily.<\/p>\n

This pistol is equipped with the optional Tritium night sights. I like night sights on a carry gun. They are a three-dot combat configuration and display very well in daylight as well as darkness. Made of steel, and with a forward bevel, the rear sight can also serve as an aid to emergency slide cycling via belt, boot, or whatever is handy.<\/p>\n

Accuracy and Performance<\/h2>\n

Let me start with performance and just get that out of the way. In over 600 rounds of all types and brands of ammunition (including my hand-loads), this pistol never once failed to feed, fire, eject, or make me smile. It\u2019s a shooter, and it\u2019s reliable.<\/p>\n

When it comes to accuracy, my motto is that almost every gun can shoot better than I can shoot it. That is certainly the case with the P30SK, though I will say that I shoot it pretty darn well \u2013 it\u2019s one of those guns that makes the shooter look good.<\/p>\n

[\/one_half][one_half_last]The results of rested (but not in a vise, which means still room for human error) groups at 20 yards with a variety of the top self-defense ammo were very good.

In steadier hands, or a machine rest, I think this gun would be scary accurate![\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n

Carrying the P30SK<\/h2>\n

As fun as this pistol is to take to the range an put hundreds of rounds through, it was clearly designed as a concealed carry gun. As is often the case with a brand new pistol model designed for EDC, it can take the holster makers and other accessory products a little time to catch up. So I was more than thrilled when I reached out to StealthGear and they said they already have the P30SK covered! I consider StealthGear\u2019s Onyx holster to be the Rolls Royce of IWB holsters and am grateful to them for proving me with one. The P30SK carries well. At a pound and a half, it is not too heavy \u2013 especially with some forward tilt to center the weight of the loaded magazine. In a 2-clip holster like the Onyx, you just forget it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The P30SK rides comfortably – even luxuriously in this StealthGear Onyx holster.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/full_width]<\/p>\n

Before I\u2019ll put a gun on EDC duty, even for an evaluation, I train with it. It can takes a lot of reps with some handguns before I feel like we\u2019re on the same page \u2013 but the P30SK was feeling like an old friend after less than half-dozen draws. I feel completely confident walking out the door with this gun at my 4 O\u2019clock.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The HK P30SK draws from IWB about as intuitively as any gun I’ve ever tried. If you think the author\u2019s extended pinky is impressive here, you should see him with a tea cup!<\/p><\/div>\n

In closing, let\u2019s talk about the elephant in the room for a minute \u2013 the desire for a sub-compact VP9 from H&K. You know you\u2019ve thought about it, maybe even wished for it out loud. And it may come, or it may not \u2013 but I\u2019ll let you in on a little secret \u2013 if you pretend the hammer isn\u2019t there\u2026 this gun IS it!<\/p>\n
