HK P30 9mm Shooting Review
About this video
Colion reviews the live-fire performance of the HK P30 handgun after his earlier tabletop review. He describes his experience with the gun’s recoil characteristics, trigger feel, and accuracy, noting both strengths and weaknesses. Despite mixed feelings about certain aspects like the trigger reset, Colion explains why he’s decided to keep the firearm.
Key takeaways
- Colion finds the P30’s recoil sharper than comparable guns like the Glock and M&P, likening it to a stiff sports car suspension that transmits more felt recoil
- Colion describes the trigger as mediocre—the double-action is manageable but the single-action reset is excessively long, though live fire improves his impression from dry fire
- Colion reports the gun is surprisingly accurate despite the trigger issues, crediting the excellent grip design for helping him shoot precisely
