Heckler & Koch P30
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Heckler & Koch P30 is a semi-automatic handgun and a development of the P2000. Early prototypes of the P30 were referred to as the P3000 and it is very similar to the P2000. The only known examples are offered in 9x19mm, but it is unclear if other calibers are being or will be offered.
As of fall 2006, the German Federal Customs Administration had procured 13,500 copies of the P30 for its forces, making them the first customer of the P30. Additionally, the Norwegian police has decided in favour of the P30 pistol with an order of approximately 7000 copies.[1]
[edit] Features
New features of the P30 include:
- Addition of interchangeable grip panels (in addition to an interchangeable backstrap)
- A standardized picatinny rail formed on the dust cover.
Like other HK designed pistols, such as the Heckler & Koch USP, the P30 features multiple trigger variations, referred to as "Vx", where "x" is the variation number. They are:
P30V1: Innovative safety trigger with concealed cocking piece in the hammer without spur, without de-cocking latch. Constant CDA trigger pull of approx. 20N and defined let-off point.
