This may have been covered before but I am confused, first of all no one locally (so I can't "handle" one)
has any P 30's and the LGS here is not fully familiar with the models
I'm looking for a P 30 9mm, one model has a safety and a decocker, and there are 2 types of triggers?
For general range shooting (and maybe later carry) what would be the "best" ( I realize that this is VERY subjective, so I'm
looking for direction/advice) ... AND model designations for each one HK P 30 SKS ???
Right now I am carrying my Shield 9 mm with Mag Guts so it's total 11 rounds, or depending on dress my LCP (I call it my BTN better than nothing)
tnx Daniel

If you want a P30 with a decocker and safety, it is a P30S V3. There is another version of it with a longer slide and it is called P30LS V3. S denotes safety and V3 stands for DA/SA.

There is a LEM version the P30LS and a much-rarer P30S. I have only seen one P30S LEM in existence, that's how rare it is. But you won't have a decocker with a LEM trigger.

Go to hk-usa.com to learn more.

Thanks TooSixty
It is "beginning" to make sense, now if I can find one to see, hold and perhaps buy...

What I would suggest and did buy twice is a P30 with V1 LEM light trigger. No external safety or de cocker. I would however look at all the models and decide for yourself.

I am a 1911 guy and carry cocked and locked, meaning a round chambered, hammer back, and safety engaged. I have the version 3 P30s so I can carry it in the same manner so all actions are the same, uniformity. I can have a round chambered, the hammer back, and safety engaged. This requires the same action that my 1911s do to fire. If you carry 1911s, may be something to consider, if not, the light LEM might be a good choice.

I am putting together my wish list for 2017 and this model is at the top. I am waiting until after SHOT to pull the trigger, just in case something awesome is unveiled and takes the top spot.
