I gifted myself a nice P30L for new years. Yes, P30L aka the best 9mm hammer fired HK pistol.
First, let's discuss the dry fire issue.
The manual doesn't mention the dry fire issue. My friend found an online manual that says to avoid dry fire to prevent premature wear.
So yes, for someone who is tryina dry fire all night long, it aint gonna be good for the gun.
I pretty much looked for a solution all day today, during work and after work. I'm exhausted because I can't seem to find a solid snap cap or anything that could fix the potential breakage from dry firing.
The famous AZOOM is anodized aluminum. The thing can't hurt my high grade carbon steel but there is a reason why aluminum case cartridges are cheap. The aluminum metal itself isn't hard enough to scratch steel but
the oxide layer on the surface is.. maybe. I don't think AZOOM is an option from a durability standpoint.
I found Tipton spring loaded plastic snap caps. The brass primer eventually wears to the point where it's just a spent primer. This could have been an amazing invention but the engineers decided to go home on the
material selection of the primer. Not a good idea.
Then I found B's dry fire snapcap. By the way, all these are on Amazon. This snapcap is literally twice as much as the common ones. It's 24 dollars for 10 rounds. I'm gonna call this a total bs.
It's not that I can't afford it; I just don't want to support this company. $2.4 per round? A live round can't even be that expensive man.
So I thought about making my own with a live round; since I have a reloading system I could easily punch out the bullet and the primer. What would the primer material be then?
I heard silicone aint even hard enough to be at all effective.. This is a pretty serious first world problem if you would say..
Now, the two hand grip.
Team HK grips it like you would a normal handgun: two thumbs pointed toward front with the shooting hand thumb resting on top of the knuckle of the weak hand thumb.
The manual suggests otherwise. It's suggesting to grip the gun like you would on a revolver. The weak hand thumb folds around the shooting hand thumb.
Why?
Thanks,
