    @ Chad Reza. The MR556 barrels are cold hammer forged chromium. HK barrels don't rust. The only reason that the 416 is chrome lined is because the gov't required it. HK wasn't cutting corners, they never do. They made it out of a rust resistant material through and through, then made it more accurate. What's not to love :) I am buying two myself.

  • @navyman8903
    @navyman8903  11 років тому +5

    It is a really solid gun. Also for an HK the mags are not $60, they run about $30-40 based on where you get them, and there is decent holster support out there. It will also hold a TLR-1 or Surefire X300 on the rail. Great gun. A master at nothing, but very good at everything. I am very very happy with mine. So much so I might buy another as a back up.

      Honestly, I consider the HK pistols to be masters of everything guns are supposed to do. Having carried a Sig P226 on the job for 20+ years, I cautiously bought my first H&K P30 Ver 3 chambered in 40 S&W, thinking it was probably overpriced. It was highly recommended by a good friend very well versed in firearms. Though I still love my Sig P226, the P 30 is the best gun I have ever owned. Extremely accurate, and totally reliable. Having fired about 4000 rounds through it, I have yet to have a malfunction. I have since added four more HK pistols to my arsenal. HK 45, HK 45C, P30SKS for edc, and P30L 9mm just because it’s a extremely fun gun to just go out and shoot. All of them are in my CC rotation. You can trust your life to any of them. And, the constant wining about the DA/SA trigger is grossly exaggerated. It’s very old-school, and very similar to the trigger on my Sigg P226, but once you use it for a couple hundred rounds you will probably get used to it, and may begin to prefer it. For an EDC, the V3 with thumb safety adds an additional layer of safety with proper training. If you love 1911’s, you will love the V3 with thumb safety as you can carry it in the same configurations as you carry your 1911.

    Anytime, thanks for watching. I think if you are already a sig owner, the P30's trigger will be more than manageable. They also get much nicer as they are shot. The best trigger pull was the last one of the day.

  • @pinscherpower1
    @pinscherpower1 10 років тому +2

    I felt the same way when I bought mine two days ago. I have the safety on mine (P30S). It's kinda in the way but, I did find You can carry it like a 1911. Cocked and locked! The trigger does have a lot of take up but with some practice. I think I could love it even more. This thing feels awesome in your hands. I was looking for a new toy and I found it. I put only a 125 assorted rounds threw it yesterday and it ate everything I fed it. I also like when you put a new mag in it automatically batteries forward! Thanks for the video.

  • @navyman8903
    @navyman8903  11 років тому +2

    We Will see. I have a feeling I will like the P30L more, but I am keeping this P30 forever.

  • @TheSideshowFirefly
    @TheSideshowFirefly 6 років тому +2

    I shot a P30 at the range today, I was really impressed as it made me look like a better shot than I am, great feeling overall and the trigger wasn't nearly as bad as some folks were making it out to be. I bought the V3 with night sights, will pick up a P30 L if I happen to see one down the road. Anyway, great video, thanks for doing what you do!

  • @navyman8903
    @navyman8903  11 років тому +1

    Thanks for the feedback. It is a fun shooter, and a serious self defense piece all wrapped into 1. I am very glad I gave her a shot.

  • @navyman8903
    @navyman8903  11 років тому +1

    As far as the build quality goes, the HK is far superior. Cost, and the trigger in the ppq do it for most people. There have been some recalls/issues already with the PPQ line. There are some people that swear by it, there are others that curse it. I will say if you do spring for the HK, while the Trigger is going to be something you will have to train to, the gun will never let you down. Make sure your first 300-400 rounds are 124gr's, or 124gr +p. The P30 recoil spring is calibrated to 124's.

  • @navyman8903
    @navyman8903  11 років тому +2

    I have the same experience. I got to put 1125 rounds through my P30, and I had a smile on my face in one way or another every single shot. It is just a great gun to run, shoot, and own.

  • @navyman8903
    @navyman8903  11 років тому +3

    Super expensive. But, they never let me down, I can't wait to get the P30LS home.

    Hey just want to Thank you. Love my HK45, ordered HK P30. Had one for me to hold but was sold.So much miss info out here. Originally from N.Y., Now in tampa area of Fl. If your ever down here feel free to drop in. Thanks again for all you do to keep us safe. God bless you and your family

  • @navyman8903
    @navyman8903  11 років тому

    I wouldn't go walther at this point because of the service problems some people have been having lately. The P30 is more expensive than the G17 and the G17 holds 2-4 more rounds if you opt for the mag extensions. I would see which handgun fits you best, and go with that out of those two. I will say, that I have had zero issues with my P30. It is a quality gun, and will serve you well. But if you can, hold, point and shoot both. See which one you shoot the best, and go with it.

  • @navyman8903
    @navyman8903  11 років тому

    Possibly the P30LS vs the P226 it would be more appropriate. The sizes are closer, and the uses at about the same.

  • @rickm2647
    @rickm2647 10 років тому

    I noticed your buddy has a 1911, and I own a couple Les Baer's myself...and a Nighthawk....but I couldn't help notice the smile on his face as he shot the HK....funny thing, I know high quality 1911's...and own several....but I get the same smile every time I shoot my p30.

  • @navyman8903
    @navyman8903  11 років тому +1

    Well, if you love the P30, rumor from HK is, they are making the P30X which will be striker fired. Not sure on when they are making it, but if you can hold off until then, I think you might be happier. Outside of that, the Glock 19 and Walther PPQ are about on the same level. I will say that service for a Glock 19 will be easier and a faster turn around. GunsKnivesandWatches had a hell of a time with his PPQ, he dumped it, and got a P30.

    • @jefife750
      @jefife750 Рік тому

      You will probably never need service for a P 30 so it won’t matter. I have never had any malfunction after untold thousands of rounds fired. I really wish I would’ve kept better count. 😊

  • @navyman8903
    @navyman8903  11 років тому +1

    That's great I am glad you like it, and the HK45 is a great addition. I love it. I plan on more HK45's in the future. Possibly a Few tac's, the GB FDE's if HK can hurry up and get back to me, and one more standard for an LEM conversion. I can't wait to get back to the states. I need to start getting rifles though......

  • @rickm2647
    @rickm2647 10 років тому +5

    BEST POLYMER FRAMED PISTOL ON THE PLANET, hands down. the trigger is not bad at all...unless you are used to high end 1911s, which I am...and I got used to this trigger very quickly. that is the ONLY thing anyone can legitly complain about....the price, shmmh!!! if you complain about the price, you simply cannot afford this gun, or your an idiot. this is easily TWICE the pistol of any Glock, Sig, or any other polymer framed handgun...EASILY. you get what you pay for, in this instance...you get twice the pistol. great gun. I would not take a glock for FREE if I had to keep it and shoot it after owning this pistol. my .40 shoots softer than most other 9mm pistols I have shot. if the truth hurts that much ladies, don't turn around and bend over....this is the best duty type gun built anywhere in the world.

    Great review !!!! I finally got my 9mm P30 today and a Blackhawk CQC Serpa Holster so I can EDC. This is the 6th member of my H&k family . It really is a beauty and feels awesome in your hand. I have the Med grip panels installed. I hope to put some rounds through it soon so I get used to it .
    It has the best feeling grip of all my H&Ks . The Hk45 full size is next .

  • @navyman8903
    @navyman8903  11 років тому

    I got the MK25 at the same time as the P30 and shot them back to back frequently. The DA pull on the P30 is a touch heavier but not by much. The SA pulls are the same. I love my MK25 BTW It is a great gun. I have a review of it posted up too.

  • @TheJRich24
    @TheJRich24 6 років тому +2

    I just got the P30 V3 knowing the critics on the trigger prior before hand and I have to say, I don’t see what’s wrong with the trigger at all lol I’m not much of a sour ass on triggers unless it’s a low end fire arm but that HK P30 seemed nice to me. I shoot that model great just as good as my M2.0, M9A3, G19gen 4, etc. I was actually surprised how fantastic it handles recoil.

    • @kleec7879
      @kleec7879 6 років тому +1

      Joshua Richardson, we are like minded brother! I love seeing logical thinkers who do real research opposed to reading fanboy verbal vomit :)! If you think the HK P30 is just another semi-auto pistol you are dead wrong. This is a combat pistol and the trigger mechanics were intentionally manufactured by HK and they do not make anything without a clear objective for the shooter. I have the P30 V3 in 40 Cal for duty/SD and I know it will go bang every single time no matter how dirty or the environment. Oh and you can get one for 499.99 at CDNN sports. Hooha!

    • @TheJRich24
      @TheJRich24 6 років тому

      CPT Coats amen brother! And for 499.99 that’s a steal! HK doesn’t make bs that’s for sure.

    • @laurencea9932
      @laurencea9932 6 років тому +1

      I am really new to firearms. I shot the HK45 with the DA/SA trigger. Right before I shot the 45, I shot a 9mm glock. (The glock was striker fire.) I was expecting heavy recoil from the 45. I felt no difference. I actually like that trigger. Also, since I am new, I don't have a bias and can learn either one. HK DA/SA for me. Quality gun that can last. I'm sold. HK45 tactical and an HKP30L for me please.

    • @jefife750
      @jefife750 Рік тому +1

      Exactly! The whole trigger thing is ridiculously overstated. It’s a combat trigger and a very good one at that. Extremely safe and totally predictable.

  • @MrKZizzle
    @MrKZizzle 11 років тому

    Yeah.. My MK25 (Sig P226) should be about the same trigger and I am a pretty good shot with it. It would mainly be for HD or a range gun but you never know I could put it in my winter carry rotation...

  • @navyman8903
    @navyman8903  11 років тому

    I am going to get an LEM here soon, but all my FFL could find is the P30 V3 9mm. I wanted the P30L V3 9mm to start with honestly, but there was a huge dry spell, then the gun scare hit. I have a P30LS now also, but I haven't picked it up yet. I will probably get a P30 or P30LS LEM V1 here soon. I will also get another HK45 and set it up light LEM.

  • @navyman8903
    @navyman8903  11 років тому

    I might get a P30 9mm in LEM just to try it out. I am thinking that the LEM might make the trigger situation a little better for the P30.

    @Blakehenry11 10 років тому

    I'm a sig and a glock guy so yes I'm a trigger snob. I like everything about this gun except the trigger. Once you have had a taste of the SRT trigger in a Sig you really don't wanna have much to dot with the trigger on this one. Your spot on when you said everyone would own one if the trigger was better. I'm trying to make myself go get it and just can't do it right now.

    • @navyman8903
      @navyman8903  10 років тому

      HK VP9 is coming out soon, it fixes everything wrong with the P30, just made it a striker fired pistol. I wish the hammer fired was better, but the step in the right direction is welcome.

    • @Blakehenry11
      @Blakehenry11 10 років тому

      navyman8903 That's good to know, problem is I like SA/DA pistols. Striker fired is nice but I have that already in the Glock 19. Maybe HK will come out with a trigger upgrade for the P30. I would very much like to see you do a review of a Sig p229 preferably one with an SRT trigger. Congrats on another great vid keep'em coming.

  • @ajfam871
    @ajfam871 10 років тому

    Have you shot the HK P2000? I might pick up the P30 instead of the HK45 since i already have G19 and just stay all 9mm. Have you shot a XDM45 maybe you can do that on your next rent-a-gun-review series. I figure the P30 would be easier to conceal.

  • @trukinjp13

      @navyman8903  10 років тому

      That may be, however that is all preference. You will also not see the QC issues with the HK's that you see with the Walthers. HK's are built solid, and are quality pieces. I do think HK's should be about $100 cheaper, or come with 1 more magazine and true night sights standard. I also don't like the PPQ M2, the button release wasn't needed, and is in the way.

      Yeah it's personal preference, all my guns have the button that's what i like, and yeah if the trigger was better and about $250 cheaper I'd get a p30, no problems with mines of so it has a life time warranty

      says EVERYONE who cant afford the HK...lmao. give it up and admit it...you cant afford it. BECAUSE IF YOU WERE HONEST, and had the money, and shot them both, you would be an idiot to pick a walther over an HK...

      LOL ANOTHER DUMMY BUYING BY THE NAME INSTEAD OF QUALITY HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I COULD GO BUT ONE NOW,BUT I DON'T HAVE A BOAT TO ANCHOR DOWN LOL HAHAHAHAHA

      yeah, you are buying a walther OVER an H&K AND talking about quality.....now you just PROVED who is the dummy here bud! walther are DECENT guns, but they have had LOTS of issues, and from what I am hearing from the three people I know who have had problems...their customer service is a joke as well....H&K, on the other hand, I have never heard of anyone even having issues with one. funny guy, but go talk shit to someone who does not know any better. your comment on quality tells me you obviously don't know shit. carry on, and have fun using your walther as a paper weight when it takes a huge shit on your shoe....I honestly just hope it wont be when you need it in a life or death situation...I know I don't have to worry about that with a H&K. And to be honest, you would be WAY better of with a smith m&p than a walther!

    It looks like a really expensive Hi-point. HK will never get my business from there pistol line.

      I will give you the expensive part. But as for it looking at all like a Hi-point, you are really off base there. I would say your glock looks more like a hi point, and resembles its quality before the HK even comes close.

      ok. The blocky portion of my Glock throws it off a little bit, the HK actually looks like a Hi-point.

      High bore axis like a sig but made of plastic? Money will not compensate for bad fundamentals. It's a piece of junk.
