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. The pistol is only available in 9x19mm Parabellum and it is unclear if other calibers will be offered in the future. The P30 uses 15 round magazines.
As of fall 2006, the German Federal Customs Administration had procured 13,500 copies of the P30V6 for its forces, making them the first customer of the P30. Additionally, the Norwegian police has decided in favor of the P30LV1 pistol with an order of approximately 7000 copies.[1]
