Also since you are the only p30 armorer, what is the maintenance schedule for the gun (ie the slide spring, recoil buffer, etc)? Manual is silent on these issues.

Finally have you had to replace the chewed up P30 mag followers? Mine got chewed up after 1000 rounds.

Finally, the P30 did hiccup when near new with some frangible being used (with your former mates) at the Sig Academy; a new P2000 .40 absolutely hated the frangible there–double feeds r us!

OK. Now you’re just showing off. :p

Impossible to stump the chump.

Can someone please identify the second pistol from the far wall on the left side of the room, top row?

It’s a Phase III (Production) Mk23 Mod 0 with KAC suppressor and LAM.

What maintenance schedule does the P30 get from you, and what products do you like for clean and lube on the polymer pistols?

Second, was a failure to go into battery on my 9mm P30 during a IDPA classifier. The gun was back into action quickly and I’m not entirely sure that it was the gun’s fault. I am fairly certain that, at the time, I was using a very aggressive thumbs forward grip in which my master hand thumb was riding under the slide release and applying upward pressure on the slide release. But still, I can only speculate, so I default to counting it against the gun even if it was a fault of my technique. I have never repeated this with the pistol since modifying my grip slightly.

Other than these “stoppages” I have never experienced an interruption in any of my P2000/P30 pistols in thousands of rounds fired. I still have yet to clean my P30 and it chews through any ammo I can stuff thru it including aluminum-cased Blazer.

Frankly, I think HK uses the best extractor design in the business. There’s virtually nothing that can be done by a smith to improve its function. It is well engineered and thoroughly hardened, features that you are not likely to find across the board among its competitors.
