Variants with a conventional double-action/single action trigger have a serrated decocking button located on the rear of the frame. Variants with HK’s enhanced double action only Law Enforcement Modification* (LEM) trigger have no external decocking controls.
The HK Law Enforcement Modification (LEM) trigger system combines the advantages of a cocked striker component (constant level of trigger pull from first to last round fired) with a double-action hammer system. Using such an enhanced trigger system consolidates ease of use and safety into a convenient, innovative trigger operation-one that reduces the chance of unintended firing. And in case of an ammunition-related failure to fire, all that is needed is an additional second or third squeeze of the trigger without the need of first pulling the slide back to re-cock the pistol. The enhanced LEM trigger system combines the reliability of a double action revolver trigger with the crisp trigger of a single action pistol.
P30S models have an ambidextrous safety lever mounted on both sides of the frame. S models are available in conventional double-action/single action trigger mode and with HK’s enhanced double action only Law Enforcement Modification trigger
A Picatinny rail molded into the front of the frame makes mounting lights, laser aimers, or other accessories easy and convenient. The extractor doubles as a loaded chamber indicator providing a subtle tactile and visual reminder of a loaded chamber.
Extensively tested, the P30 has already been adopted by several European police agencies. Excellent weight and balance make the P30 naturally pointable, easy to control, and accurate to shoot. An open notch rear sight with luminous (non-radioactive) contrast points allows for fast and accurate target acquisition, even under poor lighting conditions.
During a recent (2009-2010) endurance test, a P30 test pistol fired more than 91,000 rounds without any major component failures.

Pure Perfection
I had no intention of purchasing another 9mm as I was quite content with my Glock 17, but then I picked this gun up and held it while at a gun show. Wow! Talk about a comfortable fit! After some coaxing from my husband I indulged and purchased this work of art, and have absolutely no regrets. Straight out of the box it shot perfectly and smoothly, like a finely tuned sports car. I was blown away! The DA/SA trigger only took a short time to adjust to, and the accuracy of this gun was pure perfection from the start. By the second magazine I was shooting 2.5 inch clusters at 20-25 feet with absolutely no discomfort and very little kickback. As a woman with weaker wrists and grip strength than my male counterparts, kickback can be a big issue. I literally can shoot this gun all day long without any fatigue. Yeah, it?s that smooth. Once I got the gun home and spent some time customizing the grip what I thought was already perfect became even better. I also spent some time investigating the advantages of the ambidextrous safety and magazine release mechanism, which could be a huge advantage in situations requiring one to shoot only using the non-dominant hand. This gun is only slightly more complicated to field strip than my Glock, with differences so minimal as to be irrelevant. Long story short, I never thought I would ever find a gun I love as much as my Glock, but this P30 opened my eyes to a whole new world of possibilities. Yes, it?s pricey, especially when compared to many other models, but given how comfortable it is in my hand and how easy it is to shoot, I?ve no doubt I?ll get my money?s worth out of it. While my Glock may be my favorite muscle car, this H & K is my Ferrari.
