What you have (at least in the picture) is a P30SK V3 DA/SA hammer fired semi-automatic pistol.

Huh? :headscratch:
Even if that were striker fired (which it isn't), it's far from their first. HK has been building them for decades.
You actually rented and bought that and still think it's a striker?

IN my useless opinion they're not even close to the "best" whatever best means.

Everybody makes mistakes.
Own it and move on.
If you decide you want a striker fire compact H&K check out the VP9 SK.

Not in my opinion either. At least not best as a subcompact for IWB concealed carry. And not the best for me because of the DA/SA trigger mode. For my preferences striker-fired would actually be better, and so would the optional LEM trigger.
But as far as it being a subcompact that's a hard thing for HK to do because they've always made theirguns on the "chunky" side. I hate to rain on the OP's new gun parade but this may have been an impulse buy and only time will tell if it's truly the "best" gun for the end user.
Here's what I mean about HK's being "Chunky". and note that the Glock has a longer barrel but a shorter overall length. Compare the HK to the Glock:
Glock 26
Weight unloaded: 21.7 ounces
Length: 6.41 in.
Height: 4.17 in.
Width: 1.18 in.
barrel length 3.42
Magazine capacity: 10
HK P30SK
Weight unloaded: 24 oz.
Length: 6.42 in.
Height: 4.57 in.
Width: 1.37 in.
Barrel length: 3.27 in.
Magazine capacity: 10.

Fractions of an inch, here and there. A couple ounces. Not exactly a massive difference, unless you agree that the G26 is a chunky handgun to begin with.
I have a G26 and a VP9SK. Different than the OP's P30, but comparable to the G26. When you get into the ergonomics, trigger, fit and finish, the H&K is a massively nicer handgun, for a price.

And I do agree that the G26 is a chunky handgun to begin with. And the HK is just that much worse. As far as ergonomics, trigger, fit and finish the HK wins out on everything but trigger unless it's the LEM trigger.

The thickness of the P30SK over a Glock 26 is primarily because of the ambi slide stop levers and with a holster that part is above the belt at least on the kydex holster for my P30SK so it does not make any difference in IWB carry comfort. If I want to carry a thin pistol for maximum comfort it would not be a Glock 26/19 anyhow but a single stack like my Walther PPS.
I'm curious, why?
Agreed. I go back and forth on whether I want to carry my P30SK (V1 LEM trigger) or my G26 off duty. The HK is a very smooth shooter.

I was comparing the VP9SK trigger to the G26 trigger.
There is no comparison. The VP9SK is in a different class.
The DASA trigger pulls are god awful.
The build seems cheap and flimsy when compared to the USP series.
Also mechanical accuracy is average and not standing out like the USP series either.
I supposed that's why it's a lot cheaper for a reason.
Ah, I understand. I had the V3 and still have the V1 LEM. The V1 LEM was much smoother of course. I didn't mind the V3 at all and figured it would smooth out a bit as it broke in, but got a deal on a new Sig P320c I couldn't pass up. I figure the V1 is a keeper though. Very nice trigger on that one. Never had a USP so I can't compare.
