A "replacement" pistol for the H&K P30S v3

[Tere_Hanges]

I have, but it has basically zero mechanical features other than a slide release. When in comparison to others I've looked at or mentioned, it looks/feels "under designed". No safety, no deer, etc. Some people like having those options, others don't, and both view points are legit/valid. Maybe because I'm used to having them, thus why I keep looking for them in a gun I plan on carrying as a CCW.

Not sure what you mean about the P2000 looking/feeling under-designed. I don't think I've ever heard anyone claim an HK was underdesigned. The standard V3 version with DA/SA trigger does have a decocker. Just no manual safety, which IMHO is not necessary, also the DA trigger is fairly heavy. The grip is also shorter than the P30. I believe it is a superior design to the P30. The P2000 is kind of like a hammer-fired Glock 19 with much better ergonomics.

+1 for the P2000 if you can live with a decocker.

People run on and on about the LEM trigger but I have the V3 which is DA with decocker. Also, get the mag release from the H&K store. Its a stock part for another model pistol and it fits the P2000SK without modification and is much easier to actuate.

p2000sk v3. no external safety but as noted, the DA pull is pretty heavy. has a rear decocker. there are actually very few differences between the p2000 and p30 other than like the rail. I'm not sure you can actually find a p30sk with an external safety. I know they make a p30s and p30sL but not sure bout the SK/.
this has the gray guns trigger (I like how it's 90 deg at the break) and the SRT. I lightened the hammer spring and then went back to stock. extended mag release is a must. Xgrips on a standard length mag was the "right" feel for my hand.

I carry a P2000 v3 9mm routinely. It’s a great pistol. Highly recommended.

Why not just go with the P2000 non sk then? Thats why I did. Another pro that the non sk has is no finger grooves.

I like finger groves, as it helps with keeping control with my short sausage fingers. They're why I don't own a CZ75b. The trigger is too far forward for me.

I guess, but isn't the grip the hardest part to conceal?

That depends on how you're carrying.

On the hip, where it's the easiest to print? Or in a shoulder rig where it's under the arm?

cant explain. just preferred the SK. beats me. they aren't that different true. had both, ended up liking the SK more. I dunno given it's not even a half an inch

Was going to get a P2000 myself. Shot a P2000 a few times, not impressed.

Every inch counts

P 2000 so would be a good option.

Realistically, any HK product would be a good option as long as it fits and feels nice in YOUR hand.

They are boringly reliable and just all around quality firearms.

Dual Hammer did a direct EPS carry mill job for me on mine

Oh and FWIW sounds like the HK CC9 (striker fired so maybe not applicable) is coming soon
