Not that happy about my first HK

[svrider0021]

I just bought my first HK, a P30. And I would have to say that I do not care for the trigger AT ALL! It is smooth and consistent, but it is also long and gives no detent or warning about when the trigger will give way. I have already started looking into a match trigger or something else that is comparable. If that doesn't fix the issue then I will be looking to trade it for a Sig P229. Any thoughts from all of you HK lovers out there about what you think that I should do before I unload the P30 for a P229?

UPDATE:

Ok, I now have 650 rounds down the tube and can say that I am starting to really like it. The first DA trigger pull still takes too much pressure for my tastes but the follow-up pulls are dead-on. When I go back to the range, I have plans on putting 100 rounds through it only in DA to try and figure it out. This would be my new favorite pistol,by FAR, if it just had a pound or two taken off the first DA pull. Other than that, I still have 350, or more, rounds to put through it till I see how the trigger loosens up.

Well first thing is you could let us know more about your pistol. What trigger do you have? What Variant is it?

[svrider0021]

P30 V3 DA/SA with the decocker, 9mm. No LEM.

It is smooth and consistent...

Seems like a good feature

...but it is also long and gives no detent or warning about when the trigger will give way.

The "surprise trigger break" is still one of the cornerstones of pistol marksmanship. Seems like you should be a step ahead if you're always surprised

That wasn't meant to be a short coming, that is the better part of the trigger.

I understand what you are talking about by the surprise. I am using that same idea to teach my Fiance how to become more accurate. Every time anyone goes to aim a handgun, your arms, hands, and firearm all waver a bit. I like being able to take up the slack in the trigger and be better prepared to pull the last half a millimeter when I feel that I am best on target. I can never tell how far or close I am from actuating the trigger to fire.

In other words. I like a short trigger. Almost hair-type. Any suggestions?

USP, have many trigger options. Practice?

Get used to it. Practice. Snap caps are friends not food.

No match trigger for your P30.
That trigger requires practice. Put about 1,000 rounds down range and if you still don't like the trigger, send it out for trigger works or trade it in.
