V1!! Light LEM. As close to a striker feel as possible yet hammer fired. So I 100% prefer and recommend this trigger variant. I do not like external safety’s or decockers on my weapons. That’s just me though.
As far as the pistol itself-wonderful, reliable , easy to carry, accurate and a pleasure all around. It’s one of my main HK carry weapons and it’ll take the larger p30 magazines if needed/desired.

 

Lem trigger is the best! I highly recommend... takes some getting used to but amazing when you do.

 

LEM V1. Switched from V3. Both are great but after trialing a V1, I switched. Suggest you find a range that has both types so you can see for yourself.

I initially got the v3 for the more secure 12lb Double action for security/safety as my 1st carry. As I got comfortable with carrying but also wanted security of hammer fired with closest trigger to a striker, the V1 was my option.

Longer pull than I'd like compared to VP9 /Vp9sk, but you can get trigger work to shorten it. Although I don't think I'll modify anything on mine just to keep it plain meat and potatoes.

Both accept 15rnd VP or P30 mags if you have them.

Could be with any model version although it didn't happen on my V3 but does on my V1, but there have been complaints of the slide lock lever (right ambi) being too loose and can rattle as you "pew pew" room clear.
To some its a deal breaker for being an HK.
If something like that bothers you, then ur best bet is to buy from a shop where you can at least handle it to see if it does rattle. Although there are some hacks to fix it as well.

The other Vs are usually a bit harder to find.
Can't go wrong though with any.. Got a good deal on the V1 so it didn't bother having both..

Is a decocker or safety necessary if carrying the V1 LEM version of the P30 SK with a round in the chamber? I would hesitate to carry a GLOCK that way which is why I like hammer fired weapons.
Your thoughts?

 

I've got a V1 light LEM system in my P2000sk and it's great. Same trigger pull every time but the safety of hammer-fired and a longer trigger pull for the first shot.

 

V4.1 with a GG SRT kit.

 

Thanks...

Just wondering what a GG SRT kit is?

 

I have a V3 sans safety. I went with the V3 because I actually wanted a heavier pull trigger pull. Tried a V1 and didn't care for it initially. I carried a DAO revolver for years..maybe that's why I prefer the V3. Maybe down the road ill take another look at the V1.

 

V1LEM...I have had a V1 HK45 (Da/SA, or cocked and locked)for carry cause Im used to 1911s being cocked and locked, but transitioned to V1 with a Gray guns short reset. Now I can’t go back and most of my other P30s are LEM..the only gun I would consider V1 is the HK45 or 45C for home defense but IMO.

 

I have a HK45C LEM, I absolutely love that configuration. With my Colts and Glocks, it seems to me to be a great in between firearm. The P30SK LEM V1 is next.

 

Installation depends on your individual skill set. If you can disassemble, clean and reassemble the firearm then you can install these drop in components yourself. They have a model that fits your p30sk.

 

Hello,

There seem to be 5 versions of the HK P30SK. V0 - V1 - V2 - V3 - V4. I like the idea of the LEM trigger and have been looking at the V1... but I was wondering what P30SK owners on this list like or dislike about the various versions and the pistol itself. Until now my only HK has been my USP Compact 40. Any advice would be great.

Thanks!

The only ones that I've ever seen for sale are the V1 and V3. Additionally, you can get V3 with or without a safety. Classic Firearms had a version of the V1 that had a thumb safety, but it was limited police surplus (made for a specific contract). I don't believe there is a V0, V2 or V4, but feel free to post examples. (Edit: V4.1 is a parts kit that the user or a gunsmith installs to fix the issue described in the next paragraph; IMO, it does fix the issue, just a bit imperfectly).

I am not crazy about the P30's implementation of LEM because the trigger travel is farther (it starts farther forward) than the USP-C. That's the reason I don't own a P30 currently. The V4.1 kit positions the trigger a bit farther back, but you can still push it back forward, which is weird to me. Nevertheless, it's probably the best carry trigger you can engineer for a hammer-fired handgun, either V1 or V4.1.

V3 would be my pick for any HK that I intend as a range gun, but I'm not a fan of DA/SA for carry. If you get the version with a thumb safety, you can carry it cocked-and-locked, if that appeals to you.

 

For the P30, V3 with GG SRT. Solves the long reset of the V3, far superior to LEM on the P30 for the shorter and much crisper action, compromises nothing on safety. If you go LEM you have to go all the way- and you permanently give up fast split times with accuracy.

LEM is, after all, a way to stop law enforcement guys from shooting “too quickly”- it’s a deliberate impediment to the trigger action. That’s a training issue for LEO‘s “solved” with a hardware solution, rather than (expensive) training (software). That isn’t an opinion, it is a fact.

I'm sorry, but the P30-has-a-long-reset people will forever tickle me. The reset is about the same as a Sig P226 or CZ 75B, which have been used by law enforcement, civilians and competition shooters alike for decades. If you are actually a fast enough competition shooter that a few millimeters of travel makes a difference in your times, then I would wager you're in the top 1-2% of skill level among all HK owners. I'm not going to dismiss the need for short reset kits, but most people who buy handguns are not buying them to win competitions. OP is even looking at the SK model, so he sounds like a pretty ordinary shooter (not an insult!). So, I'm just tickled to hear you refer to the P30 trigger as a problem that needs solving, when it's about as good as several other DA/SA triggers that would be on any gun store shelves. And IMO, the DA pull on the P30 is smoother than on a CZ 75B.

As for LEM being designed to "slow down officers," that's a first for me, but I don't believe it's correct. I would need to see some documentation to be convinced that it's true. Some people will probably nitpick me and say there's a micrometer of difference since they use different sears, but IIRC, the reset is exactly the same from P30 V1 to (unmodified) V3. The reset on the USP, from V1 to V7, feels likewise exactly the same--and again, I'm sure someone will nitpick about how it's not "exactly" the same, but it's close enough that I can't tell the difference.

 

Went v3, prefer DA pull under stress, just in case get twitchy. Don't need nor want a safety selector.

 

My EDC is a P30SK SA/DA with the safety and decocker. I have several HK hammer fired pistols and all are set up the same way except for the wife’s bedside P30SK SA/DA which doesn’t have the safety (she doesn’t EDC it) but does have a TLR light / laser combo. We have small children and I carried a Sig 228 in SA/DA for nearly 20 years while in the Army, so it’s not that great a leap.
