HK P30... a fantasy ruined

By Bob Owens | 5:28 PM | December 13, 2013

When it comes to handguns, I primarily carry pocket nines because I actually tend to carry them, instead of leaving them on the shelf in the gun safe.

Every once in a while, though, I’ll start to look longingly at a full-size pistol. I’ve had successful relationships with my XDs and 1911s. I’ve looked hard at both the Glock 17 and the M&P, but I haven’t yet convinced myself to put down the cash for either one. Nothing in a service-sized pistol really excited me… until I saw the lines on the HK P30.

Now that Colion Noir’s ruined it for me—by pointing out what a crappy tactile reset the p30 trigger has—what else should I consider?
