H&K P30L reliability update

A short update on my Heckler & Koch P30L 9mm pistol.

After owning it for almost 2yrs now and having shot 3000+ rounds through it I can only state that this gun is reliable as can be.

I had two failures to feed (stove pipes) with the first box of 50 rounds I ever shot with it. After that I had no failure whatsoever.

I shoot it with either 124gr Magtech or 114gr Fiocchi.

I have over 9500 rounds through mine since December 2010.

2 Stovepipes within the first 200 rounds of Russian Tulammo (the gun was brand new, not cleaned, not broken in with the NATO spec spring). No issues ever since through mud, dirt, and rain. It's the most accurate and reliable gun I've ever owned

@tyk103 Guess I'm not the only one that's happy with this gun. I hardly clean it and it just runs smooth each time. I think it's as good (if not better) then Glock.

I think thats very common in H&K's. My USPs all jammed shell casings for the first year or so if I didn't use 180 gr 40's in my case. After that year I could use any gr without a problem. Do u carry ur P30 alot? I'd like to see reviews on how the blues holding up in real life carry day to day wear.

@nester6662 Maybe you didn't understand: I only had 2 stove pipes with the first box I ever shot. After that 100% reliable. Btw: the same thing with the USP in 9mm that I owned like 15 yrs ago: 100% reliable. Unfortunately there is no way to legally carry it in Holland, but I can tell you that even not carrying it I already have scratches on it. I assume it would be worse when you do carry all the time. So I think it won't stay that nice. But I like some wear and tear on a gun: it's a tool :-)

@peepap17 H&K is German... Guess what: I am European, so I buy European. You're American, buy American (or so you think: 90% = China)...

Damn straight!!!

@f0xmuld3r I have two Glock 19 Gen 4s and they've been giving me nothing but issues (known issue). It just shows how HK takes things seriously and do not cut corners to reduce costs at the compromise of the gun's reliability. I can't say that about any major manufacturers: Glock with their recent issues, M&Ps with with long range accuracy and lock up issues, Sig Sauers (new) with their parts falling apart due to MIM parts.
