The HK P30L in .40 S&W brings the long-slide P30 format to the .40 S&W cartridge. Less common than the 9mm P30L, it was produced primarily for European law enforcement agencies that required both full-size and .40 S&W specifications. Mechanically identical to the 9mm P30L except for cartridge-specific components. The longer barrel partially offsets the snappy recoil of .40 S&W. Type: Pistol Action: DA/SA Caliber: .40 S&W Capacity: 15 Year introduced: 2009, Germany Weight: 29 oz Overall length: 7.9" Status: Active Intended use: duty, competition
