The P30 was designed as a modern police and security pistol combining optimal function and safety. These V1 models feature HK's DAO light LEM (Law Enforcement Modification) trigger and has a no external safety or decocking button. Ambidextrous controls include dual slide releases and magazine release levers. Ergonomic features include a grip frame with interchangeable backstrap inserts and lateral plates, allowing the pistol to be adapted to any user. 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.
