Just wondering if anyone can provide comment (good or bad) on this one.
Happen to spot one when I had stopped to pick-up some ammo. Casually asked for a lookie, and felt pretty damn good. Fit my hand actually better than the M&P9 I owned for awhile, which tended to squirm a bit for me, I think because of the rather narrow frontstrap. The HK P30 has a broader frontstrap along with finger grooves, which I'm one of those people that actually like if they are not too deep or narrow (the P30's felt perfect). Like the M&P series, backstraps are interchangeable, but for the P30 the side panels are as well. Would all this accommodation allow me to finally improve on the less-than-perfect fit my current Glock 19 provides?
Donwsides? The USP-ish slide is bulkier than I'm used to, but maybe I'd get used to that. Likewise, the DA-to-SA transition would definitely take some getting used to, but I can see there being an advantage with that feature for a self-defense piece. Never had a gun with the lever-type mag release, so not sure on that. Likewise, the decocker is a button on the back end of the slide -- never even seen that before. Last but not least, the price tag is typical HK hefty.
I am so far utterly ignorant on much else: handling, reliability, longevity/ruggedness, replacement-sight options, etc. Anybody got anything to add from a owned-one/shot-one perspective? Would appreciate any edification -- thanks.
Oh, and here are some pics I borrowed off the HK web site. I think it's a fairly nice looking piece, if that matters.
