HK P30

Before you purchase anything you have to put a HK45 in your hands.

All fine choices. I would also suggest trying the HK P30.

I can tell you that the P30 doesn't have the typical recoil of a polymer gun! I tried out both and went for the H&K but thats what works for me. Extremely reliable weapon. You really need to get that 226 in your hands to help you decide what is best for you. Nothing personal against the Walther but I would stick to H&K or Sig.

Thank you Pizza Bob! Great information there.

Another vote for the HK P30L. The changeable side panels and backstraps allow the user to custom fit their grip. ToddG's torture test just reinforced my decision. That was more rounds than I would ever fire in 3 lifetimes! There are a lot of great suggestions here. You need to handle and fire as many as you can to find the one that is most comfortable for you. Keep us posted as to what you decide.

9mm for range. 45 for HD. It's a little cheaper to shoot the 9! :mrgreen:

Militec for lube.

There's alot out there to look at. Everybody has their favorites. Shoot as many as you can get a hold of and choose what feels most comfortable in your hand. Enjoy!!

Thanks for the conversation. The best thing to do is probably just try it myself and see how it fires. In the end, a person picks their ammo just like they choose their cleaning supplies! Whatever works best for them. :mrgreen:

I was out at Cabelas the other day and saw PMC Bronze at pretty good prices. I've never used it before so I picked up my AE which I typically shoot. Anyone here have any opinions on PMC ammo? Thanks!

No need to panic. Stick with the 230gr. for now. You made a fine choice. :mrgreen:

Congrats on the purchase! Let us know how she handles.

Same as you Pete. The Bore Store's work extremely well. Everything is locked up except for my hd weapon.

Very well made and extremely accurate right out of the box. Can't ask for more.

The most important thing for you to do is try shooting as many as you can. What feels right for one person will not for an other. The gun you choose should be what fits best in your hand and what you feel most comfortable with. These 2 things have a huge factor on how accurate you will be. Please keep us posted on what you decide!

Don't torment yourself any longer. Pick up the H&K P30 or P30L. Believe me, you will not be disappointed!

Thanks everyone!

Welcome

Happened to stumble onto this site about 4 months ago. It's a great place to ask questions and compare notes. I must admit that I have not experienced many of the frustrations that some of you go through when it comes to obtaining permits. :mrgreen: Can't say enough about my local pd.
