Heckler & Koch announced a SubKompact version of their popular P30 pistol at this week’s NRA Annual Meeting. The new double-stack 9mm handgun is designated the P30SK. SK, get it?
P30SK has dimensions similar to a Glock 26/27. The HK is 6.42 inches in length, 4.57 inches high, and 1.37 inches wide. Bullets are launched from a 3.27 inch barrel. Weight is tallied as 23.99 ounces.
The SubKompact can have a DA/SA trigger or HK’s Law Enforcement Modification (LEM) DAO “light strike V1” trigger at a light 5.4 ounce pull. The DA/SA is available with and without the ambidextrous safety/decocking levers. Dual slide releases are worn by all versions.
Six lateral grip panels and three different backstraps make for a fully customizable handshake, which has proven to be a popular feature with today’s consumers.
Heckler & Koch gave the P30SK a magazine capacity of 10. Mags are unseated via ambidextrous release levers at the trigger guard. It is possible the P30SK will be able to feed from a P30’s 15 round magazine.
Unlike the Austrian double-stacker, the P30SK has a shorty Picatinny rail up front for your target acquisition enhancements. I sometimes wish my Glock 27’s had this option.
Heckler & Koch put a suggested retail price of, gulp, $719.00 for its P30SK. These pistols are expected to ship in June 2015.
