Bitten by the HK P30L bug

[vandal5]

I got the basic sights and want some better ones. I don’t necessarily need night sights but there are a lot more options that way.

I’ve narrowed it down to Mepro, Trijicon HD, Heine, and Wilson/Vickers.

Mepro



Trijicon


Heine


Wilson

XS also makes sights for HKs, they are even coming as OEM on some slides such as the VP9 OR that I bought.

I just took my P30L to the range and enjoyed myself. The DA keeps you honest and practicing it makes you better IMHO. I had a Red dot so not much help with irons.

I really think the time I spent learning combat magnum revolvers made me able to shoot anything. USPs and SIGs are easy for me, I've met so many people who cannot shoot anything that isn't a SA striker fired and most of them are getting custom triggers.

Yep, it teaches you adaptability. I don't have a custom trigger in any of my pistols and while I don't own a VP70, I have a couple that aren't perfect. Shooting a DA revolver well will train you to shoot anything well. I still like my 1911 triggers, but can shoot any of my pistols as well as the others without thinking about it much.

If you don't like your trigger, it just might be you.

You'll need the comp from John Wick now. I went down this rabbit hole in a similar way, just paying it forward.

I hate HK parts for these faux John Wick weights and "Comps" so damn much

I’m seeing some people say you need to shoot 124 NATO in the P30 to break them in. Is that true?

I have a P30 and P30L and as others have said, this is untrue.

115 grain pills over 5.2 CFE Pistol worked nicely. That’s not too hot.

I've heard of some people having problems. Maybe a combo of light loads plus limp wristing for the first few hundred rounds might cause some problems. My P30 shot Blazer Brass right off the bat, no problems. I did leave the slide locked back for a few days before shooting and cleaned the factory crap out of the gun and lubed it up. I think that is what most people that have problems in the beginning don't do.

Yea maybe it is factory lube with weak loads. I only had two guns that required a break in period. It took me so long to trust those guns. Shit it was one of my first guns so I could have been the nut behind the trigger.

That oily stuff on your gun from the factory isn't lube. It's a protectant and it needs to be cleaned OFF and the gun then lubed.
