Thanks everyone for your input.
I love my P30... but I wouldn't have it in addition to the 2 P2000s if I hadn't got a really good deal on it from a forum brother. And I wouldn't be crying over it.
I shoot the P2000 a little better cold, but the P30 a bit better in an extended session. I think this is all do to my interface with the grip and obviously is very user dependent.
As to your problem, it does sound like a USPc in 9mm is the easy answer. I would do some thinking on if the safety is really a deal breaker or not, though. There are a lot of great options if it isn't.
With all this talk of the USPc, I may have to consider one and a LEM kit for it... Maybe if I decide I don't like the VP9 it can have a regressive metamorphosis.
