HK P30L Variations & Comparables
The Sig P226 is a longtime staple in the world of combat handguns. It is used around the world by law enforcement, militaries, government agencies, and special operations groups. The 15+1 capacity and a 4.4-inch barrel make this a true full-sized duty gun. The alloy frame and Nitron-coated stainless steel slide create a robust and durable platform that can withstand the harshest duty environments.
The CZ 75 SP-01 takes the outstanding ergonomics and accuracy of the original CZ 75 up another notch. An extended beavertail, more aggressive checkering, and a Picatinny accessory rail come together to help tune the weight distribution and hand-feel of the gun. The decreased perceived recoil has helped this pistol make its mark in military and law enforcement use, as well as a favorite for competition and recreational shooters. With 19+1 rounds on tap and extreme reliability, the SP-01 is ready to tackle any job.

final verdict
“The HK P30L has the basis to be a great gun but, unfortunately, falls short. Ergonomics are off-the-chart excellent, and the fully ambidextrous controls make the gun easily adaptable for various hand sizes and shooter preferences. However, the P30L has one of the worst DA/SA triggers I have ever felt. The DA pull is exceedingly heavy, the trigger breaks too far to the rear, and the reset is very long. Additionally, my gun did not want to cycle 115 gr 9mm right out of the box. About 100 rounds of 124 gr NATO spec ammo fixed this, but it was still disappointing. After that short break-in period, I was left with an extremely reliable and comfortable firearm. A good trigger job definitely puts this gun in much better contention with its peers.” – Wyatt Sloan
