My first HK failure

Call HK maybe they will send you one.

HK pistol have a life time warranty. Can't guarantee it but they would likely send you the spring when you explain the issue. To ship your pistol to HK runs between 70-75.00 and the freight is on you.

It happens, no big deal. I understand that we all want pistols that are as reliable as possible but the fact is that springs break. Have spares and change the TRS around 10-12k. My guess is you are probably close to that number with probably dryfire and such.

If it were mine, I'd pony up the money and send it to HK. Give Travis a call in Columbus and see what he suggests.

You've already invested $1000.00 +/- in your P30, it has a lifetime warranty so another $75.00 in shipping is paltry IMO to get your pistol back up to factory standards.

Your recommendation is similar to Todd Green's. He recommends to change the TRS every 12.5k.

His P30 contained the TRS from variant 2. I don't know, how long the TRS from the other variants last.

pay the 20 and get a new one.

That would be the smartest thing to do IMO.

Trigger rebound spring, like every other HK spring I know of, is $5. Order it direct from HKI in Columbus GA. They're the source of all HK parts to include those sold by third parties.

Given that rationale I would say replacing all the high wear springs every several thousand rounds would be a better option. In this case preventative action much better than corrective action.

Any chance you can get a picture of the break, and a round count (estimate). I'd be interested in seeing what the break looks like and the location of it. I *cough* may or may not have seen one or two of them breaking in P2000s.

I agree with the sentiments of sending it in to HK, but for a different reason. I'm a firm believer in letting them have a chance to figure out what went wrong with their parts, and prevent future problems. If it has the chip, they will be able to get a good round count from it, as well as possibly knowing if there is a certain lot of springs that may be more prone to breakage.
