Kevin Narbonne, member, from MA, United States, asked on September 16, 2026

Hi I’ve ordered from You a Vortex Defender CCW sight For My H&K P30 and will need a mount that will fit both the firearm and Sight listed above?

AI Answer

Answered by OpticsPlanet AI, on September 16, 2026

You will need an RMSc-footprint slide adapter plate made for the H&K P30, since the Defender-CCW uses the Shield RMSc footprint. Look for the Evolution Gun Works mount listed for the H&K VP9/P30/P30L/P30SK/HK45 series that is specifically noted as compatible with the Vortex Defender series and RMSc footprint optics on OpticsPlanet.com.
