H&K P30 endurance test

[Adrenaline_6]

It does. I think the P30 trigger pull is about the same as my USP9 and SIG 2022, it's not as nice as my SIG P226s but also not as long as my Berettas. Berettas are smooth but the pull seems longer to me.

Yes...a change to a wolf 12lb hammer spring and an HK light firing pin block spring makes a big difference. Add a short reset kit from Gray Guns and it's even nicer.

The decocker is nice once you do get used to it.

*edit* wrong nomenclature

. Berettas are smooth but the pull seems longer to me.

I guess it's what we're used or accustomed to. I can shoot the Beretta DA first pull all day long. Put a 14 lb hammer spring in and it's a delight to shoot. The LTT "Trigger Job in a Bag" is another great improvement. Decocking a 92 is also instinctive for me.

With the exception of a M9, My 92s are are G's.

I have been surprised that I have been able to shoot my DA 226 gun well. I don't ever remember missing badly in a match on the first shot. Their Legion series have those GG triggers which dont hurt but I feel my Berettas with G decocker feel just as good. They don't stack and are smooth.

My P30 DA/SA feels great too as does my Hk45 that somebody did one hell of a trigger job on. I probably shoot too many guns to realize my potential, but I like shooting many different guns so be it.

It looks like a trend here so I'll pile on. I find my P30 to be harder to shoot accurately than say my CZs. Why? I believe it is because of hammer throw. The 75 system, more so than the Omega, feels shorter in DA, which lends to an easier first shot. People sometimes make a big deal on "lock time" - on the CZ 75 system, that the short throw works the same way and reduces error increasing accuracy.

I grew up on wheels so pretty much I can shoot any DA long pull. When I got my first P226 in 1985 is was a dream gun.

Revolvers were my first handguns, so maybe that’s why I don’t feel the need to replace all my springs. I will say that if you have an HK with the heavy firing pin block spring, replacing it with the lighter (HK part) FPBS will make a noticeable difference in the trigger pull.

I’ve had trigger time with Berettas, Sig P226s but only a few CZs. My HK P30 with a Gray Guns trigger job bests them all. It truly is an outstanding DA/SA pistol. Could it be improved? Of course, but it is pretty hard to beat.

I remember watching one of those shows on TV where guys competed with anything and everything. Long guns, short guns, bows....and they guy that was least familiar with everything was the Cowboy gun shooter and yet he smoked everyone. Shooting those wheel guns or growing up with wheels has to be a great advantage. Shoot the best with the worst and its great training. I suspected he would do well and oh boy was I right. The Glock guy was lost with a wheel gun.

That show looked very cool.

Man, if I had to run stages with a SAA I'd be "almost" Jerry by now. That stuff looks like fun but I can't play "dress up" that hard. Would love to run stages with a SAA and a Winchester 94 even though I'd probably be among the slowest shooters that day.
