[HK P30-L 9mm]

I really like the HK P30/HK45 pistols; I think they are a vast improvement over the USP line. I think they did pretty well on the execution of these pistols; although when I look at them, as a gunsmith, I tend to see what can be improved rather than what HK did well. For the most part, the P30 pistols that I have handled had an unnecessarily heavy and or gritty DA, a mushy SA and a horrendously long reset. These are all typical features of most HK pistols that I have handled so I didn't think it really detracted from the quality of the overall design. With a good trigger job DA and SA can be lightened, smoothed and made crisper respectively. On the P30 design, that hard part is shortening the reset; we are almost done developing a method to achieve that goal but it isn't easy. While the USP is pretty easy to get a wicked short reset with some work, the P30/HK45 design is harder to work with.

One thing I have noticed is that on most P30 guns with really high round counts or thousands and thousands of dry fire cycles the triggers are really smooth as well as a little lighter; nearly as smooth as you can get with a pretty intensive trigger job.

Have you developed a method to achieve shortening the reset on the P30L? What is the approximate slack after you work on it? Do you do this for the public? What is the cost if you do?
