Already under heavy discussion. Lots of us want one to try out.

Oops sorry.

 

[Zaydok Allen]

Oh, no worries. I just thought you might want to read the discussion. A lot of us will be wanting to hear a range review as soon as someone actually gets their hands on one. There is a video link in that thread.

I don't like the polygonal rifling or the mag release, but everything else about this looks fairly good. I may get one eventually.

I sold one today so I am looking all day, the P30 lem is on the list. But I am considering how many guns I use, vs how many I want, need, have, etc. Fact is I really don't need another one, I do need my car serviced.
But that's no fun.

I don't like the polygonal rifling

Reason?

 

[HexHead]

Reason?

Probably because you can't shoot lead boolits through them.

 

[jjones45]

Reason?

Probably lead reloads. That's the only reason I know of why people don't care for polygonal rifling.
Oops, hexhead beat me to it

 

[Zaydok Allen]

Ah. I see.

This "new" Heckler&Koch looks pretty much like a Glock 19. Polymer receiver, striker fired, no manual safeties, 15+1 rounds capacity ...

 

[Girodin]

Save it is going to be more reliable, durable, and accurate than a glock. I say that as someone who owns multiple glocks, and carries a glock.

 

[Lord Palmerston]

Time will say whether you are wrong or right.

 

[Morgo]

I'd like one of these, but need it with a threaded barrel

Doesn't look like a glock though. Looks closer to the PPQ.

I like traditional rifling for reloads as well but I have M&Ps and Beretta 92s for 9mm reloads. I can stomach poly rifling for an affordable HK. And I got a chance to handle one and it has, perhaps, the best striker-fire trigger I have yet experienced.

I NEED one!

 

[Thompsoncustom]

At first glance I thought it was a SR22.

Not a fan of poly rifling either tho it does fine with my lead reloads I just like the deeper traditional rifling.

So? swap out striker fired and you have the P30. It's like saying it has four wheels and is a sedan, Camry copy! There are lots of other guns that meet that set. A set that Glock by no means invented or owns. Lets face it, there's not a huge variance in polymer guns anyway.

I like my P30. A lot of people won't get the trigger but that's why the VP9 will work well for them. Personally I love the mag release and the grip. I've taken quite a few newbies out and they have always said the P30 feels like it was made for a hand.

 

[Wildbillz]

Looks kinda like the pistol the Brazilian Police were carring.

The VP9 looks interesting but I already have a Walther PPQ in 9MM that I adore and have had for almost three years now so no interest in owning one here. I would like to try one out some day.

It's good to see new striker fired pistols in the market.

 

[sigarms228]

Totally different than P30. They just look a lot alike due to slide and grip design. I understand the ONLY parts that are common between them are the sights, a couple pins, and the magazine.

I would never want a pistol with a completely different mag release for anything more than a target pistol. I've trained for so many years with the standard push button mag release I know that is what I would revert back to during stress. That rules this one out immediately as a defensive pistol, regardless of how good a pistol it is.

that's what I thought too for a long time. Then I bought an HK45 and found I really liked the mag release. It's like anything, handle the gun enough and practice, and muscle memory will come.

Of course if you are happy with other guns, then it doesn't really matter.

An expensive polymer framed striker fired pistol?

Revolutionary...

My enthusiasm us rather limited with this "new" pistol.

Walther quickly found that out about the PPQ and that is why Walther PPQ is available with paddle release or button release. IMO extremely smart move on Walther's part.
