@nitrox28 They are glow in the dark sights (require a light to activate them). I did some research in my user guide and it stated they were Tritium sights (something I should have included in the video :P ).
@nitrox28 hmmm, good point lol... the sights the user manual says they are might be HK branded sights now that i think about it and i dont think these are. The firearm came with them already installed.
Nice review. I am considering to buy this gun in the future. Is this your carry gun? If it is, how well does it conceal? What about comfortability? What position do you carry and/or find most comfortable? Kinda have the same body type as you and 5'10" in height. Thanks.
@aniisyare That is how tall I am. It was my concealed carry firearm but it has since been replaced by a Glock 23 Gen 4. It was pretty easily concealed, I did have to alter my wardrobe for it though... (no tight fitting t-shirts, more loose fitting button down shirts that had to be untucked, even then i had to watch how I bend over and kneel). for comfort-ability: both shooting and carrying it was comfortable, was a little heavy though. I carried it at the 5:00 position on my waist.
@tkd000pat The 5 o'clock position is the most comfortable carry position for me as well. What type of a holster did you use for the HK. With regards to the issues you mentioned, maybe this will be a perfect winter carry.
Glocks are very good as well, so you certainly didn't make a bad transition there at all.
@aniisyare I use the crossbreed supertuck for my HK (the Glock fits in it as well :D but I literally JUST ordered another specifically for my glock). Both the Glock and the HK have proved to be excellant winter carries but as i mentioned earlier: i will definately be going with the Glock as my summer carry.
the guy got confused he met to say striker fire than rim fire. big deal get over it. look at a surefire x400 light\laser combo. streamlight is good for the money but surefire is a bit high end in my opinion
Instead of 'Rimfire' , which as you see posted is a type of ammo, you are looking for the terminology...'striker fired vs hammer fired'. The H&K's ,.Sig's.. etc are hammer fired. The XDM, glock's.. etc are striker fired.
Streamlight TLR 2s. I had that on my HK P2000 and for 200$ you will get the same quality and reliability as a Surefire light, they also have great customer service... Also I assume you already know this but charging the sights with a LED light for about 10 secs will have them glow brighter than meps.
My man I Iove your pistol, but I can see your serial even with your box up. 221-000**@. Try electrical tape. It works. Check out Steamlight TLR2. It is a Light/Laser combo. Kind of pricey though.
@Afrikaaner11 GOD DANG IT!!! o well hahaha. think i might just take the annotations out... lol. electric tape huh? good idea. will definitely check out the Streamlight also. have not decided yet, so many options!!! :D
@tkd000pat One other thing you should be aware of. With your slide locked to the rear. Take a fully loaded magazine, and very firmly insert it in to the gun. The slide will slam forward chambering a round. It is a feature of the P30 series. Your's being a P30LS with a safety may make a difference. But give it a shot. I'm pretty sure it will work for you. Let me know if it does.
@tkd000pat Is that not sweet? Funny how in the video you were talking about using the slide release. Does that not seem silly now? I'll tell you what, Send me a message to my in box, and I'll tell you how to do a very easy at home trigger job.
Its funny you say you hated the Springfield XD. I bought a XD9 and traded it in within a week! hated it. The HK kicks butt! fits like a glove, its like awwwww as soon as you pick it up. Standard backstrap and small lateral panels.
Pretty nice review, I just purchased a p30l v3 with safe and de-coker. $865.00 new from a gun shop in Pennsylvania. One thing to keep in mind you should cover up the serial number during reviews to prevent people from using it. As far as a laser/light combo, check out the Viridian x5l.
@MattsMDX If you don't mind, (whenever you get a chance) I would appreciate it if you watch this video again. I just added a BUNCH of annotations to cover up the serial # and want to see what you think.
@amd1031 Dang! Should have included the cost in the video (scribbles notes for next video).
My father paid right at $1000 for my P30L but I am sure the price will range from shop to shop. We purchased it from a preferred gun shop so we did not do any price comparisons. If that is a little high, I would shop around if I were you. Hope this helps!
FYI, glow in the dark is usually just called night sights in the gun world. Some industry jargon for you.

IS THAT THE.40 CALIBER AND DO U KNOW IF IT CAN USE THE P2000 CLIPS?

@yoISAACMENDEZ Yes, it is chambered for .40, I do not think the P2000 mags are compatible with this firearm though.

A laser is a complete waste of money. If you must attach something to your gun, get a good quality light like a TLR-1 or better yet an X300.

Wait. The sights are glow in the dark, or are they Trijicon/Meprolite type self illuminating sights??

Glock is not rim fire, you are thinking striker fired. Glock, M&P, and rifles are striker fired. You can have a hammer and be rim fire.
