jljonesWho around here still carries the P30?

SigM4Carry a P30sk most of the time, sometimes a P30S in 9mm if carrying OWB during the winter. P30 in .357 Sig with a TLR-1 is on HD duty. The grip and finger grooves on the P30 just fit me.
Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

JonSigShooterYep, P30L V1 (light LEM) in .40, particularly as a duty pistol. I've also been concentrating on it in IDPA; my VP40 is doubtlessly faster/more purely shootable, but for the tie being, I'm gaming with what I carry.
Best, Jon

SSAreGreatYes, P30L 9mm with Trijicon HD Orange Night Sights. Still a main EDC along with M11-A1, CZ 83.

Rolan_KrapsNope. In fact, I sold mine. I carry my Ruger LCRx, LC9s Pro, or my G 26. Unless I'm expecting trouble, and I trade my G26 for a G19.
I am looking a picking up a Colt Commander in a few weeks that has been tricked out. Be on the look out for a new thread when I pick it up.

lunchboxAdd me to the list. The P30 is my go to for ccw in the winter when I wear bulky winter clothing. The p30 and glock 19 are my two favorite pistols ever.

hrcjonI do. Whenever an RMR equipped gun isn't practical. I'm convinced it is perhaps the most reliable gun we can get.

RHINOWSOSold my P30 Light LEM / GGI RRCDP this past fall.
It was the house gun, but after going G19 for most everything, it meant no sense to keep since I hadn't shot it in quite while.
Still have a P2000SK and HK45C, however.

PorterNThe P30L is on my short list. I miss my last one, but it had a safety and I didnt like it. So if i find one without a safety, I'll probably pick her up.

grumpy1Yes I CCW my P30SK on occasion.
BTW looks like HK just did some big price cuts on the P30 and HK45 series. New P30 9MM are now under $600 and HK45/45C under $700. I wonder if this has anything to do with ramping up of their new factory in Georgia.

mr228I have carried a P30 lem 9mm for several years. I carry it year round owb. It fits my hand perfectly. And I shoot it reasonably well. But. It’s the biggest freakin dust/lint magnet I have ever owned. I have to clean/delint the dam thing every other week. But. It’s ergonomics and it’s such a soft shooting gun make me forgive it for being a lint magnet. I like the P30 so much. I am going to buy another one because I just saw on another post that they are being sold for $561.00.

cslingerHave gone all to HK for my needs, all V3/V1 DA/SA. I carry a P2000 90% of the time with the P30 as more of a house gun but do carry it from time to time. It carries fine but the stippling is a bit abrasive on my side hence I prefer the P2000.
My P30 has been awesome. Great shooter, reliable, feels great and actually has a decent trigger, barring the long reset.

FPNunesYes sir! I edc a P30sk LEM daily with a VP9 and USP45 as our house guns and part time suppressor hosts. Love the P30 series as a lefty and that grip is the bees knees!

lordhamsterI stupidly sold my P30 LEM back in 0’15. Now just reordered a P30 V1 Light lem.
As for EDC, I’ve been EDCing my P2000sk in .40 / 357 for a few years.
