Design and ergonomics

The Heckler & Koch P30SK is the subcompact member of the P30 family, designed to transfer the signature P30 features into a more concealable package. It retains the completely adjustable P30 grip system: interchangeable backstraps and lateral grip panels are present in the ultra-compact grip frame, allowing the pistol to be tailored to hand size and preferred purchase. That modularity makes it comfortable for a wide range of users and preserves trigger reach and sight alignment common to larger-frame models.

Accessory compatibility and chassis features

An abbreviated Picatinny rail is molded into the front of the frame, enabling easy attachment of weapon lights, lasers, and other mission-specific accessories. The rail keeps the footprint small while maintaining capability for low-profile lights that enhance target identification and engagement speed in low-light scenarios.

Balance, weight, and pointability

Despite its compact dimensions, extensive three-year testing during development resulted in a pistol with excellent weight distribution and balance. The P30SK is naturally pointable and easy to control, which reduces muzzle rise and improves follow-up shot speed—important traits for a 9 mm defensive platform.

Caliber choice and applications

The P30SK is currently available in 9 mm, a proven defensive caliber that combines manageable recoil with effective terminal performance and high-capacity magazine options. For concealed carry, home defense, or as a duty backup, 9 mm offers economical training, reliable feeding, and broad ammunition availability.

At a listed price of $729.99, the P30SK delivers high-end ergonomics and proven engineering in a compact package. For full specifications and purchasing options, View product details and pricing.
