Absolutely the most comfortable handgun I have ever fired. Maybe its only my hand that seems to perfectly mold to every bump and curve of this gun, I'd hate to think so I want others to experience this! The ergonomics leave me speechless and the results are clearly visible on my targets. Since my exposure to this beauty I couldn't get her out of my head. I'm now a believer of love at first sight [I picked her up here] and unfortunately have to wait a few days until I can re-live my Handgun Dream. Does anyone else know of an equally ergonomic pistol? Or one that the grip just hits that spot? Also, Hello PAFOA community

    I saw this post and I thought it was a polling post asking what pistol people thought were the most comfortable. With that said I was quickly going to post the P30. When I held my first one, I had to have it, so it is in my pistol case

    My only beef with the P30 is the trigger. A lot of work to make the gun go bang. If they could make the trigger function with less movement and effort, I would toss my glocks to the side and roll that for 3 gun.

    HK P30 would be a comfortable gun to shoot if your hand is bigger then normal.

    P30 is still too big for people(such as myself) with smaller hand.
    Prolly wouldn't be too bad, if trigger is smoother/shorter/lighter.

    My choice for comfortable guns to shoot(Presume comfortable meaning easy to take a proper grip, and able to shoot well) would continues to be Smith&Wesson M&P series of guns.
    I carry Kahr K9, and its pretty comfortable gun to shoot, except grip could be may be a 1/4" or longer.

    Which is why I bought Kahr T9, and its about the perfect size for me.

    CZ75B is comfortable gun to shoot. But like HK, trigger is bit on heavy side.
    CZ75B with 16lbs main spring would fix that probrem.

    Just my opinion

    I would consider my hands medium in size and I have no issue. My wife has smaller hands than me and she also has absolutely zero issue with the p30. Have you adjusted all of the grip pieces to form a girp be suited to you?

    Weapon was not mine. So no I didn't tinker with that. But whatever the insert it had one didn't allow me to take a proper grip.
    Another thing I didn't care for was the location of slide release.

    But this is all my opinion.
    If P30 fits your hand, by all means.
    But for the price they are going for, I'd take my T-9 over it any day of the week

    I have a CZ75 SP01 and it fits my hand the best I have ever felt. That said, I have a S&W 5906 (arched backstrap) that, for me, is a natural pointer. I pick it up and it is perfectly positioned (for me) and it feels good. I also like the Ruger GP100 (any barrel length, and I have all of them) with the soft Hogue monogrip. It puts my hand in the correct position each time I unholster it and it is a comfortable grip.

    I switched my 686's grip couple of times. Seems that Hogue Monogrip does the wonders for me.

    BTW, I wish I new you had a SP-01. I ordered CZ75 SP01 Tactical without ever seen one in person, and been wanting to see what I'm getting...
    (I believe only difference between SP-01 and SP-01Tactical is that Tactical model comes with decocker, instead of safety?)
