Help me choose my next gun. I've been real big on wanting to pick up a HK P30 lately and I know I also want to get a P226. Originally I was looking to get a basic P226 and still get the P30 but then i figured I could get a little nicer P226 that's a little more rare. Both guns will run around the $900-1000 mark so not cheap.
I know both are great guns by great manufacturers with great reputations.
So I narrowed it down to the following.
P226 Platinum Elite
P226 Platinum Elite Stainless
HK P30
I have actually held and fired both guns. I would say the HK gets the nod a tad on feel just because you can customize the grip so much but both are nice shooters. On the other hand the P226 has the advantage of being able to legally run hi-cap mags where the P30 your stuck with 10rd mags permanently in this state.
