Sir ! may i get your expert suggestion regarding the hammer fired and striker fired pistols please? what i mean is which is a better choice for self-defence, conceal carry and sometimes for range. ( i know this is not the proper place to ask but i am sure you wont mind. I am your fan and i watch your videos and learned much more things about guns. I am just a gun lover, nothing else.)

P30 trigger leaves a little to be desired but once you get used to it, it’s really not bad. It’s got quite a bit of take up and reset but it breaks really nice. Also the P30 and particularly the Long slide version are really soft shooters. Used to have a p30, sold it, regretted it and now have a p30L. Doesn’t get much more accurate and of course it is by far the better looking of the two because looks really do matter 😉

@ebanhb 10 лет назад

I like the DA/SA because it gives you a very safe firearm. When drawing and firing quickly, striker fired pistols are far more prone to "glock-legging" their owner. Also, a DA/SA pistol is far safer to hold on a person while attempting to control a situation. The DA essentially eliminates the possibility of an adrenaline twitch causing an accidental discharge. The striker fired guns are just a little to easy too set off accidentally, for my taste. That and, no matter how much I try, I just can't like that trigger safety mechanism found on most striker fired pistols. Funny how much conversation there is about how difficult it is to get accustomed to the DA/SA transition and how little there seems to be about how awkward those little levers in the trigger can be.

@@DPham1 that's because the 320 is a striker fired gun. Sig DA/SA pistols have a plunger blocking off the firing pin so it can't strike the back of a round without pulling the trigger to depress it and also the hammer won't engage the back of the firing pin without the trigger being pulled.

The ergonomics on the H&K are great though. I've started hitting the decock button with my strong hand's thumb and easing down the hammer so it isn't as jarring.

Hickok, 2 quick QUESTIONS for you:1. Since you do not like the DA/SA trigger differences... Why don't you eval the LEM versions of these pistols instead?2. Do a video/test with the P30SK (the compact version), also in the LEM version. How do you like that one?Thanks!!

@nukemiller1 12 лет назад

It is a good point to note that the Sig P229 is all stainless which gives it more weight, and the HK has a polymer frame with a stainless slide...HK has a better barrel design in that they twist the barrel instead of having grooves in it...makes it easier to clean

@brociousplumbing 11 лет назад

First time I have watched one of your reviews, nice to see someone that actually has done some range time. You did a nice job, go SIG by the way

@Danny65673 9 лет назад

I did better with the HK than p226 that I tested at a range. I'm very new to practicing this, but I actually think I prefer the DA/SA. It sort of forces me to focus on the squeeze rather than the shot because of how it changes the feel like that. At first, I felt uncomfortable with the switch from DA to SA, but then it occurred to me that the gun itself is just as accurate regardless of how far I have to squeeze the trigger. So, now I use the change as a sort of guide that reminds me to focus on squeezing the trigger rather than on the shot that's about to happen. It throws off my ability to predict exactly where the shot will come out so that I can forget about the kick and let it happen unexpectedly like we're taught to help avoid anticipating it.

@TheBoxingCannabyte 7 лет назад

Then he moved over to the Glock 34 which....gotta say....Owning two Glocks both in 9mm the Glock 34 to me is the only reason to go bigger than the Glock 19. It looks really cool with the cut-aways and whatnot! HK P30 and SIG p229 are at the tippity-top of my semi-auto list right alongside getting my Kimber 1911 back or something superior. (though TBH the Chiappa Rhino 4d which Hickock DESPISES in terms of looks...that's kinda my "must-have" for wahtever reason, that gun that calls out to me the same way the Glock 19 or Kimber Custome TLE 2 did, or Ruger Police Shooter-Six which wound up being the 1976 bicenntenial model which is just great...was given by an army buddy, kinda my favorite carry gun tbh, and it's 41 years old!) The HK P30 I know would feel great, and I hear both good and bad things about the trigger. Im personally a DA/SA man (SA, really, if I can go the 1911 route) though I recognize the Glock 19 as the "Go-to"....that said the HK-p30 and SIG P229, can't go wrong. The HK-p30 can be purchased new for the same price of the now pretty dated, yet still awesome looking, BEretta 92fs/M9

I haven't seen this comment but if it's already here I apologize. If you go with the P229 Legacy either police version or Legacy Elite TALO special edition, you get the added 3 Dot Siglite night sights, plus amazing, IMO, upgraded G-10 grips. It does also come with the front slide serrations and you can get it with a pic. rail and I believe still come in under the price of the P30. I know you did mention some of that, but I thought I'd just cover it plus which model to look for to get those features. As always thanks for the great video. Oh and the price on the TALO does seem to be starting to creep up, as they're getting harder to find, and they are limited run although not a collectors run.

@ericjohnson1455 10 лет назад

Two really nice guns, I have 2 of each actually. The SIG is proof positive that bore axis really is over rated. My SIG 229's as well my 226 are extremely soft shooters and very fast to re-aquire. Very little muzzle rise and easily as soft shooting as the amazing P30. With that said my P30L is one of my favorite pistols, the weight, the grip are really second to none but I have to give the SIG kudos for the better trigger. Give me a tigger as good as the SIG, grip as comfortable as the P30, the balance of the P30L and an durable steel frame and now we are talking...oh wait I just described my CZ SP-01!

The Sig P229 has picatinny rails, the P229 SAS has no accessory rail and is complete Anti-Snag” and refers to the aggressive “carry melt” process applied to the slide and frame in Sig’s Custom Shop, which smoothes all the corners and edges for comfort in carry, the trigger of the P229 is amazing, the P229 is the best pick for CCW. If you prefer strike fire over hammer fired you are not a 1911 guy hickok.

@gobucks45177 10 лет назад

They have the LEM trigger on the H&K. It is very close to the DAK trigger on the Sig. It is about 5 to 6lbs on the trigger pull so not bad. One of the downsides to these guns are the cost of extra mags. $50 and up is too high! Other than that great guns

@dgareea31swtg 12 лет назад

Awesome video, Hickok. I never knew much about the P30. As a Sig 228 owner, I personally think H & K are the only pistols that are the equal of the Sig Sauers. I got the female trigger on mine, and I love it the pull. I shot the USP .45 in the Army pretty frequently, and there's no doubt it's a very nice weapon. All in all, though, the Sig is just simpler to use and feels better. Field stripping in an emergency goes more quickly with the Sig. I also don't care for the ambidextrous controls.

@MrFlint62 10 лет назад

David...almost every modern auto traces it's roots to the classic 1911. Like these two guns. Sure they're much more modern, but you can see the basic principles of both are 1911-ish.

@MrFlint62 10 лет назад

Nazgul001 Yes, I know (most) semi autos are based on John Browning's design, but a 1911 is a 1911. All other guns are not!

Hickock thank you for the videos. I live in Puerto Rico which means, car jacking is a high possibility at night in certain places. I was thinking on going for a p229 legion for concealed carry... but what would you think if I inclined more to the P30?

@robertborne895 4 года назад

puertoricanboy100 both are great. Sig mags are a bit cheaper especially since you can always find preowned out there.

@51Dss 10 лет назад

Even though the sig was a 40sw it seemed like you were a bit more consistent with it than you were with the HK - one of the reasons I chose my P229 over the HK was that the Sig was much easier to field strip and reassemble than the HK. Also I liked the weight/heft of the sig in my hand as compared to the HK. As you stated early on in the vid when I picked up the Sig I told the sales associate that it felt natural, and substantial...like a gun ought to feel in the hand...whatever that means...guess you can tell I like Sigs

@navyman8903 13 лет назад

Man, once you get an HK you never want to get rid of it. :)

When hickok shoots his gun has barely any recoil and he's on target. This guy is strong!

@taden2007 2 года назад

Side note is p229 also doubles as a framing hammer when the need arrives 👍 . I love my p30sk V1 btw

You're clearly not a Hickok45 subscriber. I'd really recommend his videos, they're very entertaining and his descriptions are very detailed. He's also ONE HELL OF A SHOT!

@joztunes69 9 лет назад

I prefer the Sig

@TheBoxingCannabyte 7 лет назад

Own both but the HK P30's recoil reduction system really makes it an easier shooter. For the money the HK takes the cake on a quantifiable level, however, the SIG Navy and Elite models are really nifty, though im looking for an older one with west german markings if i can ever find one, lol

@ldgrey1963 13 лет назад

Great side by side comparison, I like the Sig just because I have 2 Sigs (SP2022-9mm and P226-40S&W). I have nothing against the H&K weapons since I have not owned them. I like the SA/DA of both. Thanks for the review

@thesmitty83 4 года назад

I'm no expert by any means nor have i shot tens of thousands of rounds in any of my guns, but after 20 years of recreational shooting my HKs are the only guns that have never failed me once.

@thomasward00 9 лет назад

Having owned both HK's and Sig's, all of my HK's are now sold. They are the best polymer pistol on the market, no doubt... But for $800.00 dollars plus, I want more than a polymer gun.... A Sig P Series cost more to make than an HK, you get more gun for your money...

@Ohsnapzdawg 9 лет назад

Thomas Ward you can buy a $200,000 gold toilet, but that doesn't make it better than a porcelain one.

@DavidSmith-jj5pr 9 лет назад

Ohsnapzdawg a better comparison would be a porcelain or plastic toilet. a plastic port-o-potty functions just fine, but......

@Grim67894 7 лет назад

Sig is better to shoot. HK will be more reliable in extreme situations. But that's unlikely.

@MrAuburnfan123 13 лет назад

Great videos, enjoy them all. Have you ever thought about doing a video on the subject of buying a used hand gun? What to look for, potential red flags, etc? Not much information out there on the subject and it seems like you would have some good experience to share.

@quitepossible4498 10 лет назад

Have an issue with the DA/SA? Just carry it in SA. Problem solved. Its no different than your M&P or Glock.

@hickok45 10 лет назад

Actually, it would be quite different with most I've experienced; I'd be packing with a really light trigger, similar to carrying a 1911 with the thumb safety disengaged.

@damenspillman1804 10 лет назад

There is no thumb safety on the P229. Condition 0 on a very light SA trigger is not smart at all. There is a big difference between a 3.5 lb SA vs 5.5 lb DAO striker fired pistol.

@kimmeldds 10 лет назад

Cocked and locked is fine by me, but in this version you'd have no "locked", so you'd just be "cocked." However, you can convert the HK P30 to a different variant by adding a thumb safety, which would allow safe carry while the hammer is back.

@quitepossible4498 10 лет назад

Damen Spillman Actually your numbers are incorrect. I currently carry an M&P with a 5.5# trigger. Glock boasts a factory 5# trigger, its actually 7 or 8. Are we saying someone would have a ND with the Sig 4.4# trigger and not a Glick or M&P with a 5.5# trigger? That 1 # makes the gun safe from people who cannot handle s firearm? Of course not. The argument that a 4 # trigger is unsafe is absolutely silly. I had an ND with an XD and that 7# trigger. The only safety is your brain. Simple.

@damenspillman1804 10 лет назад

A big factor you are forgetting is pull length. In SA, there really isn't much play, and virtually none with a SRT. Meanwhile on a Glock or MP, you have to move the trigger over a distance before it will fire. No, one lb probably won't make a difference if the pull length is identical, but they aren't

@aberdolflincler4596 4 года назад

After watching this video, I'll be buying the p30. Thanks hickok! Awesomely informative video as always.

My P229 has a 3 dot sight system

@Flanker_52 9 лет назад

Seems like most (if not all) of the newer Sigs do. Personally, I prefer the original "I-dot" sights better

@Flanker_52 9 лет назад

***** Yeah, they do make things easier, for me at least. It's just what I'm used to. It's not like the 3-Dots are bad (my 229 Elite has them), but they just aren't my cup of tea.
