HK P30 or USP9c

[Red Leader]

When comparing the ergonomics of the USP and P30 and concluding that they are worlds apart, is it just that the grip feels better?

I held a USPc the other day for the first time and it was actually pretty comfy, so I really would like to get my hands on the P30 to feel the difference.

P30 has the best ergonomic but just like HK45 (full size), its rough grip surface can be a real problem/pain for concealed carry without an undershirt.
You may want to take a look at P2000 (similar barrel length, less ammo capacity, no 1913 rail and available LEM trigger)

I just purchased a P30 and have had it for two weeks and run about 400 rounds so far. I really like it and once I have a good holster it will replace my P228(w/E2 grips) as my EDC. However my HK experience is limited to the P30 since I have run Sigs and Glock for the last 10 years.

Thank you to everyone who responded. I'm leaning towards the P30. First I have to get my taxes done so I'll know if I have to pay Uncle Sam or not.

Go with the P30 for all the previously mentioned reasons. The ergonomics can’t be beat.

There's more to it than that. You can get a better purchase on the grip because of the P30's texture. You can configure the grip so that it fits your hand better, which makes manipulations faster and more positive. You can ensure that the reach to the trigger is correct for your hand, which helps maximize your ability to properly control the trigger.

Holding the USP again felt like I was picking up a flintlock.

My local gun store had a used and new P30 in today... I bought the used one. Still had the original warranty card in the case too.

Sweet!

What did it set you back?

Manipulations practice is key I found. Defintely a whole new experience compared to a SIG or Glock and would defintely advocate dry fire and dry magazine manipulations.

$699 plus tax.

Only problem is it is a V3 (DA/SA). I thought I could convert it to LEM, but according to the folks at hkpro.com conversion from V3 to LEM is not approved by HK. I may see if I'll be able to return it and find out what version the new one is.
