REVIEW: Umarex H&K P30 Air Pistol
This HK P30 replica air pistol is made based on the Heckler and Koch P30 firearm. It can shoot either lead pellets or steel BBs and utilizes an 8-shot rotary magazine and 15-capacity drop free bb magazine respectively. Made of metals and composites this replica is near true to weight and feel. The ambidextrous magazine release and integrated accessory rail are just as they are on the firearm. The HK P30 has a manual safety and Single/double trigger action. The sights are fully adjustable on this quality German made HK Pellet Pistol. When shooting BBs, an adapter is installed in place of the 8-shot pellet magazine. The owner's manual warns to never load and shoot pellets and BBs at the same time. The slide release lever on the right side is cosmetic. This is a non-blowback design, so the slide does not move. All of the external controls of the firearm are accurately duplicated on this replica. However, only the mag release, decocking lever, and slide release are functional. The two-stage trigger can be fired double action or single action. This air pistol would make a good trainer for those who own the H&K P30 firearm.

By Eric M Saint
I must say that this an ultra-realistic copy of the actual H&K. Quality of workmanship is just outstanding and the firing of BBs as well as pellets is flawless. I would definitely recommend UMAREX products as they are licensed to reproduce these air pistols from their identical counterparts(H&K..Walther..Baretta..Smith & Wesson)

Dear Sirs
This extra class .177 air CO2 (pellet/BBs. The manufacture name it Umarex HK P-30, but this gun real functional copy of the HK P30S 9mm/40C/ gun.
We bought it and we are so happy about this purchase at Amazon. This air gun nicely made and looks as real gun HK P30S we also do have. It is nice to have air gun copy because that helps dramatically safe money for home pre-training before use at range real gun.
Real Germany manufactured gun. This is item you can call "you get what you paid for" - the best I have ever have in my hand during my long time military service.
I would like highly recommend to buy this gun to everyone who ready spend $50-75 more but get TOP of the line of hand gun.
It would be nice if buyer can get in same time with gun the Stream-light 69240 TLR-4 Compact Rail Mounted Tactical Light with Laser Sight - that perfectly match to this gun and makes it as real gun use in the dark and with laser simultaneously.

High quality but scratches way to easy.
History behind the firearm that inspired the H&K P30 Air Pistol
Handgun design has changed rapidly in the past 10 years we've had an explosion of polymer pistols, followed by a slew of lightweight, compact and sub-compact models made for concealed carry, and new full-sized duty pistols. The P30 is a polymer framed semi-automatic handgun by Heckler & Koch, available in 9X19mm Parabellum and .40 S&W. Early prototypes of the P30 were referred to as the P3000. The P30 is marketed by the manufacturer as a law enforcement service pistol.
As of fall 2006, the German Federal Customs Administration had procured 13,500 units of the P30V6 for its forces, making them the first customer of the P30. Additionally, the Norwegian Police Service has decided in favor of the P30 pistol with an order of approximately 7,000 pieces.
Design Details
The P30 is a fully ambidextrous polymer framed short recoil operated locked breech pistol with a modified Browning-type linkless cam action with a vertically tilting barrel.
Technically, the P30 is similar to the Heckler & Koch P2000 pistol; the differences are in exterior appearance and ergonomics. The basic design is derived from the Heckler & Koch P2000 and Heckler & Koch USP Compact pistols.
The cold hammer-forged barrel has hexagonal right-hand polygonal rifling while the slide, having both front and rear serrations, is made from a solid bar of nitro-carburized steel. Besides metals the P30 makes extensive use of impact-resistant polymers to reduce weight and production costs.
The P30 is a hammer-fired pistol with an exposed spurred hammer; a bobbed hammer is optional. It has ambidextrous slide release locks and a fully ambidextrous magazine release installed in the trigger guard, on both sides. Various trigger and cocking systems offer the possibility of converting the trigger firing mode from one type to another. Several variants are available based whether the LEM (Law Enforcement Modification) trigger (H&K's double-action only) mechanism is used versus a SA/DA trigger. All P30 pistols feature an automatic hammer safety and firing pin safety. Some trigger configurations also offer a decocker.
The iron sights consist of a square notch rear sight and post type front sight. The sight features three-dot contrast enhancements that have been painted with non-radioactive photoluminescent Super-LumiNova afterglow paint that can aid target acquisition under unfavourable lighting conditions.
As with other recent Heckler & Koch pistol designs, the P30 is modular to suit individual needs. The grip features three interchangeable backstrap inserts and three interchangeable grip shells both available in small, medium and large sizes. These backstraps and grip shells can be assembled completely at random, also asymmetrically, in 27 different user configurable grip configurations, allowing to customize the pistol's grip to various hand size and shapes and personal preferences.
Major metal components like the steel slide are treated with a protective surface treatment. Heckler & Koch refers to this treatment as the "HE" (Hostile Environment) finish, which is an extremely hard, nitro-gas carburized, black oxide coating. It aids resisting wear and corrosion, including exposure to salt water, making the pistol particularly suitable for individuals carrying the pistol concealed as the highly chloride-resistant finish allows the pistol to better endure the effects of perspiration.
A MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) accessory rail on the dust cover allows mounting tactical lights, laser sights and other accessories. The attachment of such accessories does not require any tools.
The empty weight of a P30(L) 15-round box magazine is 93 g (3.3 oz). The empty weight of a P30SK 10-round box magazine is 82 g (2.9 oz).
For cleaning purposes the pistol can be disassembled into its subassemblies without tools. The slide release acts as a captive take down pin allowing disassembly of the pistol to be carried out without having to remove the slide release from the frame.
