How do those sights regulate for you? I tried the Trijicons and the POI was low. I’m back to OEM sights with a 6.1mm P30 / VP9 front sight.

Also interesting our SKs share the same date code but yours has the CIP N laser etched.

They seem to regulate very well. I was shooting mostly 10s from 25 to 50 yards. I align the center of the dots and cut desired poi with the apex of the dot. This seems to give more precision than top edge. (Monovision correction) This was shot with the sk at 50 yards, using AE9FP. Hope I can replicate this in the future.

Are you running Trij HD rears? I have HDs on my SK and it is shooting low. I'm liking the sound of the lower NF front sight to bring my impact up.

Using Bright and Tough, until NF starts producing rears for the P2000 series. I hit them up and pester them every so often. I believe I had the same issue as you with HDs on my P30. If I would align the top edge, they were pretty well regulated, but at speed, I visually wanted to bury that front in the rear gutter. Combined with the sharpness, they did not work well for me. NF ships in several days, but the Trijicon B&T rear had a 6 wk lead 2 wks ago. Right now the white silicone rings on the Trijicon rear are the best available option for me. I'm at the point where I need the visual input from the rear rings, as the top edge can get lost depending on target color, lighting, glasses tint, etc.

I have found the NF front to regulate with the P30, P2000, and P2000sk when paired with a B&T rear.

Do you have the stock white 3 dots that came on your SK? Might try those before you spend the money on NF and Trijicon rear. NF is $53 shipped and Trijicon rear is about $85.

If you don't, I can send you on old set from one of mine.

I believe a stock front, as well as the NF, would dramatically raise the POI if paired with HD rear.

Looks good to me! At least the panels on the HK are replaceable if you limit the work to those...
The texture on the VP9s was a big disappointment to me. The little maggots just didn't stick like the P30 fine gritty feel.

Exactly! This is about as much texture as I can tolerate AIWB though I haven’t even knocked the edges down. For me the P30 doesn’t need a grip enhancement like this.

Thanks! Not sure yet. Hoping to make it to the range soon and see.

The barrel install was easy, and generally the entire build was easy. I think the upper was 4 roll pins and 2 screws to complete it as pictured. The lower is a 2 position UMP lower, with USC parts swapped in. The lower was mostly easy, except the install of the locking lever housing was a PITA. For one, there's not much info out there on it. The other part is you need 4 hands to get the damn thing plus 2 springs in there simultaneously. I just got fed up and sent the lower to Tom at TBT to finish up. ;) Should anyone else be looking to do a similar UMP clone conversion, feel free to PM me and I can outline all the resources I used to do it.

I traded a mint M11 A-1 for a mint P2000. I’ve only shot about 50 rounds through it so far, but I’m liking it.
It came with 8 mags, 4 of them being the ‘restricted for LE only’, plus an extended mag release, with roll pins, that he never got around to installing. He fired “less than 50 rounds” through it; I believe him, it’s absolutely mint! Now, I just want a P30L, to have the complete set (P30SK, & P30).

Thanks, that’s just what I did.

Here’s their response:

“Thank you for reaching out. The +3 9mm extender does add 2 for the 40cal. The 9mm extender is a little tight on the magazine when sliding it on compared to the 9mm. For the VP40 and the "SK" series guns the extender sits where it is supposed to. The USPc/P2000 there is a bigger gap between the magazine extender and the bottom of the gun compared to the VP9/40 and "SK" series guns. The 40cal magazine is a bit longer than the 9mm magazine in USPc/P2000. The magazine works (shoots/locks the slide back) though with the extender. I hope this helps.“

FWIW, I question the assertion that the 40 cal mag is a bit longer than a 9mm mag. I have both, and either mag will fit and latch in either gun. In fact, I have added distinct markings for the 9mm mags, to avoid inadvertently putting 9mm ammo into a 40 cal gun.

They will all be shredded. In my short 8 1/2 years carrying one I got my 1st one replaced at right around 11,000 rounds due to locking back with rounds still in the magazine especially shooting one handed but often with a two handed grip. That issue started around the 6k mark and approx 3k after putting a WML on it. Fresh magazines would help but never cure it. My 2nd one was ok for a bit then started doing it again...

I'd look really carefully at functions like disconnector and firing pin block before trying live fire. Also, make sure all the barrel underlug/lockup stuff is as close as you can tell to the same.

My instinct is that these combinations may well be excellent examples of "The fact that it can be assembled doesn't mean it fits."

That said, I do kinda like the look of the P30 slide on the USPc frame.

That's the plan. So far, most of the critical components and surfaces appear to be positioned and sized the same or very close, though I'm taking measurements to verify. This includes: slide release lever shaft and notch, slide release cutout, barrel locking lugs, ejector, extractor, firing pin safety, firing pin tail + hammer, center slide rib (feeding rib), and probably several other components and surfaces.

I have really loved carrying a p2000 again. Thinking I'll send the next one to wright armory for milling and put an eps carry on it. In theory, it should help with the printing I tend to get with red dots, given the smaller dimensions.

This is my USP - the only one I have now, though I’ve owned six of various sizes and calibers. It only has a bit of off-duty carry and some woods-walking to its credit but it has the distinction of being used (back in 2015) as the main .45 auto for accuracy testing of duty ammo for my department and it’s a pretty early example of the USP45 so that’s pretty cool.

I carried a USP45 for a short time on duty and while I found I very much preferred the Beretta 92 series, the USP is a phenomenal platform for the .45 and is stupid reliable… except for old Federal non-fox rounds that were so consistent in malfunctioning on the last round that we loaded an extra round for qualification courses so we could get all shots off. Function with duty ammo and regular ball was and is excellent.

SoCalDep

Not mine but I had one just like it about 20 years ago. I sold it to another deputy within my first year or so on the department. Four years (ish) later I get assigned a patrol field training officer and the name is familiar… turns out he’s the guy I’d sold it to. This is the PSP version with the skinny heel mag release like my old gun. I later acquired a P7M8 Jubilee model but ultimately sold it. I regret getting rid of these guns only for the “interesting” nature of them. They sucked to carry (all grip weight), got hot fast, and didn’t perform perceptibly better than other stuff available at the time. They were accurate and reliable with 147gr Ranger-T though.

This is my USP - the only one I have now, though I’ve owned six of various sizes and calibers. It only has a bit of off-duty carry and some woods-walking to its credit but it has the distinction of being used (back in 2015) as the main .45 auto for accuracy testing of duty ammo for my department and it’s a pretty early example of the USP45 so that’s pretty cool.

I carried a USP45 for a short time on duty and while I found I very much preferred the Beretta 92 series, the USP is a phenomenal platform for the .45 and is stupid reliable… except for old Federal non-fox rounds that were so consistent in malfunctioning on the last round that we loaded an extra round for qualification courses so we could get all shots off. Function with duty ammo and regular ball was and is excellent.

You made me dig mine out of the safe. I was issued both at my old job. I was supposed to turn the full-size in when I made detective, but I hung onto it long enough to buy them both when we got new guns.

Most everyone hated the HK’s because they were DA/SA and we were living in a striker world at that point, but man, looking back…what great guns.

I put in what I thought was an unlikely bid on a gunbroker no reserve auction and I......won! Brand new USP Expert in the Euro pellet.

It certainly looks good. We'll see I can do with it.

As one of the probably 9 people here who carry a P2SK...where'd you get the milling done? That looks excellent.

I carried one for a time, and was very pleased with it, until I fell out of favor with the LEM. I kinda wish mine were DA/SA.

ETA, wouldn’t the appropriate abbreviation be P2KSK? ;)

I had two P30SK's with the LEM, transitioned to a VP9SK for reasons long forgotten. Do you care to elaborate on how/why you "fell out of favor" with the LEM?

I used to shoot to reset. Which I think works OK with the LEM. However, if you get used to shooting something with a short reset, like a Glock, you may tend to short stroke the LEM on occasion. In conversation with a few well-known shooters, they suggested I shoot to trigger return instead of reset. While that did fix any short stroking issues, the LEM felt like I was just taking a lot of slack out of the trigger each time.

I feel that shooting to trigger returned helped with a lot of different trigger systems. Especially DAO, and in particular revolvers. Even with the Glock, I felt like I had better trigger control, because it was always a constant pull. The LEM was the only one that it felt even more awkward.

With this new style of shooting, it actually makes me want to revisit the DAK at some point should I find the opportunity.

A while back someone talked about "aggressively prepping the trigger" and I feel like that would go real well with a LEM trigger....but would take loads of practice.

Bucky - thanks for your thoughts, which reinforce what I've learned over time. What initially attracted me to the LEM - and, as a result, the P30SK - was the added room for error provided by the long initial pull and for me, the very visible hammer cocking. It's obvious I'm not a guy who participates in competitive shooting or law enforcement. At the time I owned those guns, I was focused on giving myself an additional layer of protection with that first shot. I must admit that after years of shooting just my VP9SK and M&P 340, I'm curious to shoot a rental LEM somewhere to compare trigger pulls.

I swapped Wright Armory I-Dot plates on my P30 from RMR to ACRO as befits a full sized pistol. My plan is to get some stuff sold to fund a second P30SK and have that new one set up with the RMR. The P30SK is my daily carry and having a second RDO one will make my eyes happy.

HD - as a previous owner of two P30SK's, I would love to see any pictures of yours when they are available.

Thanks!
