I want all of you guys to understand that my poor mouth posts have their basis in my pure, straight-from-the-heart jealousy. It's not personal and I don't hate anyone. I've no one to blame but me.
Just took my sk to the range and ran 200 rounds. Had a few FTE but all I had was federal 115gr. Certainly doesn't feel like a subcompact. Training is on my agenda for the spring, I'm not happy with my skills.
Also had several instances where slide didn't lock back due to me riding the slide lock. Being a lefty it usually isn't an issue for me, but I shifted my thumb over on the top of my support thumb and it stopped.
Over the years my system has been if I have not used it or its not living up to my expectations sell it, even at a loss. It's been a journey from single stack Detonics/custom 1911s, issued Berettas, S&W, Glock and today it's HK P30/P30sk/VP9. Right out of the box HK has everything I want out of a sidearm, half the family members in my household are south paws (no idea why) and HK is well thought out.
Sell what your not using and get what you want.
My experience is the same as that of CDFIII. I have a P30 and a P30SK. The P30SK fits in the P30 OWB holster just fine.
Rich,
My BT holsters all fit the guns that they were designed for. As an example, BT nano for a G17 also fit the 19 and 26. Have a CHL for the P2000. Fits the P2000SK despite the slightly different trigger guards but not the P30SK. P30 Nano holster will fit the P30SK. It was just not finished and was exchanged by BT for a new one. If you listen to some of the holster chatter on HK specific forums, it seems that there is some cross compatibility with some holsters between some different HK pistols and is not limited to the usual "compact fits in the full size" holster of its parent gun. Some P30 holsters also fit the HK45C according to some of the posts.
58thunderbird, first - great username! One of my best buddies used to haul the two of us around in his Dad's '58 T-bird convertible. I loved that car, mainly because it had a back seat! So, we began the evening as "the two of us" - with some luck, it became four.
Now - this thread. You have struck a nerve, sir. I had become virtually locked in on another Glock, but don't feel the same passion I feel when I put the HK in my hands. The same passion when I go out to our garage. My wife's 2002 Camry, a creampuff with 30,000 miles on it - OR - my 2000 Mercedes-Benz S430, with the crazy odometer reading of 256,000. I would've never bought it (OR believed that mileage), except for the fact that my brother bought it new. Not one squeak, rattle - just an amazing machine. Glock vs. H&K. Hmmmm. Thanks for the perspective.
