Although striker-fired pistols have been all the rage among civilians and law enforcement for a long time, not everybody prefers them to hammer-fired versions. Heckler & Koch has an answer to all of those semi-auto fans who just haven't stopped hammer time: the P30 handgun. This little DA/SA beauty has all of the bonuses of H&K's wildly popular VP, but also features a beautiful, crisp trigger pull even in double-action mode. In this video, American Rifleman's Joe Kurtenbach and H&K's Bill Dermody discuss everything this handgun has to offer the discerning American shooter.
