#P30

Tyrant Designs is expanding its lineup of aftermarket handgun parts for H&K’s line of auto-loading pistols with their new CNC machined +5 magazine extensions. These new mag extensions are easily installed with no tools and will include a 10% increased power magazine spring to aid in reliably feeding ammunition.

Langdon Tactical Technology is teaming up with the folks over at Heckler & Koch to add to LTT’s existing lineup of fine aftermarket pistol and parts offerings. The new LTT HK P30 Series will feature Langdon Tactical’s premium level of customization which should result in an overall superior firearm that is tailored exactly to your liking. For those who keep close tabs on Langdon Tactical, the new LTT HK P30 Series shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise as rumors have abounded on various gun forums that LTT was likely gearing up to start working with HK products. More details and current offerings in the LTT HK P30 Series can be found below.

Photo Of The Day: The Norwegian SWAT Team practice boarding on the Norwegian coast guard ship KV Barentshav. The main firearm above is the Heckler & Koch MP5 in 9×19 mm, but note the sand-colored AN/PEQ-15 and the marine finish. In the Norwegian Armed Forces, the H&K MP5 has been replaced by the H&K MP7, which has been the subject in many previous POTDs.

Magazine capacity is key when it comes to either having a fun time at the range, competing, or when defending yourself. XTech Tactical are experts at improving the everyday experience of shooters of both rifles and pistols. Xtech has just released their 15 to 17 round VP9/P30 magazine conversion kits to squeeze that little bit of extra capacity out of your VP9 or P30 pistol.

Parker Mountain Machine has developed two new muzzle devices (Comp Tracker and Sight Tracker) for H&K VP9 and P30 pistols. These products were specially designed for Heckler & Koch and will be available exclusively through the H&K Web Store. Let’s take a look at each of the new PMM/HK muzzle devices.

According to a press release issued earlier today by Heckler & Koch, the Chairman of the Executive Board and Chief Executive Officer of parent company H&K AG Norbert Scheuch has been terminated from his position by the supervisory board. The release also stated that Wolfgang Hesse, the current sole Executive Board member, would be taking over operations for Heckler & Koch until Scheuch’s replacement can be appointed.

Interestingly, the last company on earth that I expected to see offering a rebate has done so. Welcome to the struggle Heckler & Koch.

XTech Tactical, makers of the  +5 Magazine Extender for the Heckler & Koch VP9 and P30 and the ATG Adjustable AR-15 Grip announced a made-in-the-USA, 15-round aftermarket magazine for the HK VP9 and P30. XTech Tactical is also offering their new H&K P30 and VP9 15 round magazine with the XTech Tactical +5 Magazine Extender already installed to produce a ready-to-rock 20 round mag for the shooters of the extremely popular striker-fired, German wonder nine and also the owners of the Heckler & Koch’s latest duty gun with a traditional hammer fired operation system, including the P30, P30SK and P30S variants.

So far in the Modern PDW Calibers series we’ve talked about small caliber, high velocity PDW rounds like the 5.7mm FN and 4.6mm HK, and we’ve tackled larger, punchier calibers like the 10mm Norma Auto and the 7.5mm FK. However, we still have not tackled the very extreme low end of the spectrum, that is rounds that are so small and impotent that many question their usefulness as antipersonnel rounds at all. However, small size brings with it some benefits in recoil and round weight, so it’s worth taking a closer look at this kind of round.

XTECH, known for ATG “Adjustable Tactical Grip” has announced the availability of their VP9 / P30 magazine extension. The new extension, dubbed the “MTX” adds 5 rounds to the total base capacity of 15 for a total of 20 rounds of sweet extended magazine goodness.

Heckler & Koch’s recently released P30SK is the subcompact version of their hammer-fired mid-sized P30 9mm handgun. The P30SK shares its basic design features with the P30, but has a shorter 3.27″ barrel and shorter grip with a 10-round double stack magazine. Roughly comparable to a Glock 26, the P30SK features the same ambidextrous safety as the P30S model, as well as a decocking button at the rear of the slide. The P30SK comes in six models with three different kinds of trigger groups (any of the three available with or without night sights), including P30SK LEM “V1” light DAO, P30SK “V3” DA/SA without safety but with decocker, and P30SKS “V3” DA/SA with safety and decocker. The model I received for T&E was the P30SKS V3 model with night sights.

The US Army released its second draft of the request for proposal (RFP) for its Modular Handgun System earlier this week. The draft gives the designation for whichever handgun is selected as “XM17”. From the draft RFP:

Our sister-blog All Outdoors has reviewed the Heckler & Koch H&K P30L …

Here is a video by H&K showing off the new H&K VP9. The VP9 will use the same mags as the H&K P30. They claim that the VP9 will have a superior trigger over other strikerfire handguns.

Heckler & Koch manufacture a non-lethal paintball shooting version of their H&K P30 pistol for law enforcement training. The P30 CM fires 11.4mm caliber paintballs filled with food dye. Like gas powered airsoft pistols, the magazine holds the paintballs and the propellent. The propellent interestingly enough is compressed air, not C02 or propane, allowing H&K to market this as having zero CO2 emissions (yes, it says this on the card in the photo below).
