Perhaps my Google-fu sucks, but I'm having a hell of a time locating any P30 magazines in stock anywhere. Anyone know of a decent source?
Thanks...

Aren't P30 and USPc mags the same?
They are basically the same magazine except that the P30 magazine is slightly longer to fit the extra 2 rounds.Quote:

HK USA has been waiting months to get a shipment from Der Fatherland. There is probably some little shop in Gooberville, Arkansas with 50 of the things in a box somewhere, but otherwise there are none to be had.Quote:

Luckily, a very kind benefactor from M4C hooked me up with a half dozen spares until HK's shipment finally comes in. It was supposed to be May. Then it was supposed to be June. Now it's supposed to be July. I think Vegas is now putting odds on which will happen first, P30 magazines going on sale or the Cubs winning the World Series.

Question for you Todd, I've not had both side by side, but you are certainly the resident M&P guru and probably the same on the P30; are the M&P9 and P30 the same in overall height/grip length? Not jumping ship yet but I'm curious.
That's totally reasonable. Gun isn't much use to you if you've only got two mags for it ... at least, not if you are someone who trains seriously. HK knows the demand is there, but they're having to pick their battles with Germany and I don't think this is one that's come to a head yet.Quote:

P30 height (w/std sights): 5.43"
If you put the smallest side panels and the smallest backstrap on the P30, it is smaller in grip circumference than the M&P9 w/small backstrap. Not sure how many pygmies are actually small enough to need that, but ...
It's a shame, I only have six P30 mags and I had to buy three pistols to get them.:confused: Hopefully HKI gets their communication together with HK Germany. I need magazines!!!!!!!
I've got eleven.
Two came with the test gun. Two came with the spare. One I stole during armorer class. Six came from the good samaritan mentioned above.
Two of them live in the gun and in a mag pouch. Eight of them are for range training. The eleventh I've planted in the backyard in hopes it will either bud into more magazines, or grow into a 20-rounder.
Thank you sir, I appreciate the input.Quote:
