The HK P30L is the elongated version of their standard P30, itself an evolutionary development of the USP.<\/p><\/div>\n

In a free market economy, manufacturers craft their wares to accommodate consumers of various means. As a result, the gun options available to American shooters are byzantine, to say the least. There will always be some companies producing sub-$250 handguns. However, for those who want something a bit higher end, there will always be a handgun waiting out there marketed for the discriminating shooter. The HK P30L<\/a> is one of those types of guns.<\/p>\n

The author found the P30L to be a good carry gun, even with the elongated barrel and slide.<\/p><\/div>\n

The German firm of Heckler and Koch (HK) has its origins in the detritus of the Second World War, and they now equip some of the most capable armed professionals on the planet. For a time immediately after the war, HK produced machine tools and bicycles. Once they won the competition to supply the German Army with the G3 battle rifle in 1959, however, they converted solely to weapons production. This has remained their forte ever since.<\/p>\n

Roller-locked HK long guns like the G3, HK33 and MP5 dominated the tactical scene in their day, and their modern offerings continue to set the standard for small arms excellence. The last thing Osama bin Laden reportedly saw in this life was the nasty end of an HK416 rifle wielded by an American Navy SEAL. I can personally think of no higher accolade.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, one of the finest HK combat pistols is the P30<\/a>. The hammer-fired P30 was developed from the Universal Self-Loading Pistol (or USP), itself a superb combat handgun. The P30 takes all that is wholesome and good about the USP and bumps it up a notch. During factory testing a single P30 fired more than 91,000 rounds without a component failure. The P30 is available in three different trigger configurations as well as compact, standard, and elongated versions.<\/p>\n
