Wow, what an eye-opening and enlightening experience it has been. The pistol has a lot positive attributes, and it *really* made me focus on trigger control. I mean *really* focus. Patience, focus, proper grip, patience, focus, proper grip, etc. I had suspected that over this summer I had become a significantly better shooter accuracy-wise. So today instead of the P30 I brought my old tried and true Glock 19 to the range. My suspicion was correct. I shot that G19 better than I ever had. It was like I was on auto-pilot. Anyway, it got me thinking...
I do like a lot of what the P30 offers in a pistol, but I don't know if I want to invest in another P30, a P30SK, P30L, sights, mags, etc to transition fully. I really like my Glocks and am invested in them. So I was thinking of perhaps simply keeping the P30 as a gun I shoot now and then when I really want to focus on trigger control. That made me also think if I can get the same benefit of trigger control-focused training in a DA revolver. If I were to own just one: HK P30 LEM or DA revolver, which would be the better dedicated trigger control gun? What are the pros and cons of each choice as it relates to trigger control training? I currently only have a S&W 442 and would like to add a S&W 586, so maybe to acquire that I'd sell the P30. Anyone with experience in both platforms have input? Thanks for your time.
