H&K P30 Trigger?

[ranburr]

Love the the feel of this pistol. Absolutely hate the trigger. I know it will never be a 1911, but can much be done to make a significant difference? I am refering to the S model that can be carried cocked and locked. I would be happy if it could match an out of the box Glock trigger.

Different firing system, different beast. Specifically what are you trying to improve on the trigger i.e SA,DA, reset? If you want to turn it into the short, extremely positive reset of the Glocks I don't think you'll ever be satisfied.

For HK trigger work I'd recommend Bill Springfield. He does excellent work and can easily smooth up/lighten the action if that's what you want. He can also add the overtravel stop found on the USP Match triggers to help with reset.

I agree with you on the trigger not being the best. I'm loving the ergo improvements of my P30LS over my USP, but wish it just came with the USPs trigger (or better yet the trigger out of my HK45!)

You can send it to Bill Springfield. The reset won't be like a Glocks but the pull will be smoother and the break will be crisp. I'm speaking from hear-say as I've never had it done. I thought the out of the box SA was just fine except the reset could be better

I agree w/ the OP, trigger is (to me) not a lot of fun. Interestingly enough though.. my P30 is already on the way to Bill's for his trigger job and the overtravel screw. For a lowly $78 I figured it was worth a shot.

I had just ran my stock P30 in a pistol class, and the 'reset-drill' is really where I decided to send it off. I'm hoping for some improvement, but I don't expect a miracle.

I don't have a SA/DA P30 but I do have a LEM version.

I sent mine to Grayguns.....they do a whole action tuning package thing that includes a trigger reset reduction. It brought the reset down 50% in length and is positive feeling (not as positive as a glock but better then an M&P). I really like it..very smooth.

Not as good as my Springer Precision tuned XD trigger (which is the best trigger on a striker fired gun I've ever shot) but I like shooting the P30 due to the heavenly ergonomics.

Downside to sending it to Grayguns is the cost ($300) and the wait time (about 4 months).

Yep! I can't knock his work or rep, but I thoight I try Bill out first.

Maybe I'm crazy but I find the DA and SA pull of my P-30 quite usable, but then again I like the trigger of my Beretta M9.

The DA/SA on HK's in general is awful.

I hope HK does another striker pistol.

The SA on my HK45 is very nice for a service pistol. Configured as a Variant 9 w/ no de-cock capability I have no complaint. The P30LS SA is mushy w/ a LOT of take up in comparison. Feels like some of the BHPs I have owned. SA on stock USPs is better, though the DA on P30 feels less heavy and smoother.

The triggers on P7s are very nice though. Hopefully a good trigger will find its way onto the striker fired P40/P30 Variant rumored to be under development.

The pulls don't bother me either, i just have a prob with the reset distance. Bill said he may be able to shorten it by 20%, and as it stands now, anything is better than nothing.
