Just picked up a P30sk. Recommended Mods? Laser?

I have been trying to find an ambidextrous 9mm that would fit my small hands. Came across a deal on a used P30. Am hoping I finally found my unicorn. Any recommendations on mods? Laser?

Put at least 500 rounds down the pipe until you start considering tweaks. Really.

Good night sights, stock up on magazines, a holster that works for you, and ammo ammo, and more ammo!

I'd also recommend shooting 500-1000 rounds with your new P30, before you start modifying anything. Good idea would be to invest in a couple of snap caps (if you don't have those already) and really master that DA trigger with ample dry firing and shooting your pistol mostly in the DA mode during range sessions.

Ammo, spare mags and a quality holster. Run the gun or even better take it through a class before you worry about "mods". As for lasers I would work on getting solid shooting fundamentals first. IMO visible lasers serve a very small niche purpose. In almost every class I've ever taken where someone had a visible laser it caused more issues than it solved.
We currently shoot at least 200 rounds a week usually 9mm. I shot close to 100 this am through the P30. I do think I have found my unicorn. Yep a good holster is first on the list. No one carries LH holsters around here. And even though our local range has a lot they have little to none for HKs. ( recommendations welcome). I usually shoot with dot sights since my eyes are getting a little old. But this gun already has a good night iron site on it ( was a used gun) so I will just work with it for a while. The DA takes some getting use to but Nothing I cant master with time.

I love my P30SKS too (also have a P30S). I have the V3 variant which is probably what you have.

I'm an ambi shooter and have a few kydex holsters for LH that I use (P30, VP9, Glock 19) for IWB and OWB but kydex for IWB isn't comfortable to me and use some hybrid ones from DeSantis holsters which are more generic and work for my P30, VP9 and G19 and are IWB comfortable that I've never had issues with.

There's so many options out there you'll have to figure out what works best for you and determine what holsters would work best.
I use my P30s as a 1911 (I came from a 1911) so cocked & locked as it is said, so I'm in Single Action mode from the first shot. But everyone is different.

Actually mine is a V1. Sorry it’s an SK ( not sks)

Yes snap caps are a good workout. I also have a laser lyte system that makes it fun to practice inside

Minus possibly adding night sights (if I pick up a HK that didn’t come from the factory with them) I don’t add anything to what the German gun magicians have already perfected.

I still haven’t figured out if it’s a P30 or a P30sk
Same here. Plus, how could it be an SKS and a V1?

[/QUOTE closer inspection of the case it’s a SK V1. Sorry for the confusion. I was looking at the manual to begin with and thought it was a sks

My bad SK V1. ( I am new to HKs so don’t know all the variations ) not sure where I got the s unless it was looking at the manual

Right, V1 would be the LEM variant and SKS the V3 rear decocking button variant.

That is. My mistake. Not use to so many variants on one model. I’ll learn 🤣

No worries, we just want to help. The SK V1 is what I’m trying to get if I can ever sell my Hellcat. I think you will really enjoy the HK.
