SD 5 Leather Shoulder Holster for HK P30 with Red Dot (Red Dot Sight) black VlaMiTex

VlaMiTex Leather Shoulder Holster for HK P30 with Red Dot

Purpose & Concealability

The Heckler & Koch P30 is synonymous with reliability and ergonomics in modern pistol design. As one of the world's leading service pistols, used by countless police forces (including the German Federal Police) and special units, it combines absolute functional safety with a grip design adaptable to the shooter. With tactical advancements, equipping this high-performance pistol with a mini red dot sight has become the new standard. This combination of a proven platform and modern optics requires a specialized carrying solution. The VlaMiTex Leather Shoulder Holster is the answer to this requirement. Based on a well-thought-out design in Berlin, this system offers a professional solution for the concealed carry of the HK P30 with mounted optics. It is designed as a vertical shoulder carrying system – the most discreet way to securely and accessibly carry a full-size service pistol on the body.

Carrying System & Comfort

The crucial factor for a shoulder holster that must endure all-day service or civilian wear is comfort. The VlaMiTex system is based on an ergonomic carrying device, often referred to as a "spider." This back cross made of flexible, robust leather serves as a central anchor point and distributes the weight of the weapon and spare ammunition evenly over both shoulders. Wide, anatomically cut shoulder straps prevent pressure points and avoid neck tension. The vertical carrying method of the HK P30 is strategically chosen: the weapon follows the natural line of the upper body and is barely noticeable even under a light jacket or blazer. While sitting (long car rides, observation), the weapon remains easily accessible and does not press into the side. Flat Chicago screws allow the system to be precisely adjusted to the stature – non-slip, stable, and close to the body.

Optic-Ready Holster Body

The technical centerpiece is the Optic-Ready holster made of solid, approximately 3.2 mm thick cowhide with a generous, precisely integrated cutout in the upper slide area. This is designed to securely accommodate common red dot sights (e.g., Trijicon RMR, Holosun 507c/508t, Aimpoint Acro, Leupold DeltaPoint Pro). When worn, the thick leather protects the optics from side impacts and scratches; when drawing, the weapon slides freely without catching on edges. The wet-formed leather precisely takes on the contours of the HK P30 – from the trigger guard geometry to controls like the paddle magazine release and decocker (in SA/DA variants).

Retention, Security & Muzzle Design

Safety is a priority. Passive retention is achieved through the form-fitting shape of the wet-formed leather (play-free, rattle-free). A robust snap strap serves as active security, which is intuitively released with the thumb or index finger during the grip build-up – with vertical suspension and grip downwards (Thumb Break). The open muzzle design allows the use of threaded barrels (e.g., for suppressors) and prevents the accumulation of dirt, water, or shell casings.

Craftsmanship

Design in Berlin: VlaMiTex relies on vegetable-tanned cowhide of the highest quality. Tear-resistant special thread for the seams, multi-stage ground, polished, and sealed edges to prevent fraying and ensure high wearing comfort. The inside is treated to protect the surface coating ("Hostile Environment") of the HK P30.

Care & Storage

Clean with a soft, dry cloth; if necessary, slightly damp without soap. For suppleness and moisture protection, apply leather grease or beeswax balm very sparingly, let it absorb, and polish dry. Store dry, well-ventilated, and away from heat sources; avoid direct sunlight in the vehicle.

Holster Adjustment (Fine Tuning with Kettle)

If the holster is initially tight, the fit can be specifically optimized:

• Heat water in a kettle and briefly expose the rising steam to the inside of the holster until the leather becomes slightly moldable (do not soak).
• Wrap the unloaded pistol in a thin plastic bag (e.g., cling film).
• Firmly insert the pistol into the warmed holster; draw/holster cleanly several times.
• Let it cool and dry completely at room temperature with the weapon inserted. This permanently shapes the contours – for a secure hold and smooth draw.

Does this holster also fit the HK P30L (Long) or the P30SK (Sub-Compact)?
No. This holster is precisely wet-formed to the standard length of the HK P30. The P30L is too long and would protrude at the bottom; the P30SK is too short and would not sit securely. For the P30L, there is a suitable variant: S30 Shoulder Holster HK P30L – black – VlaMiTex.
