I bought two LTT RDO Beretta slides, a LTT Beretta 92 Compact(awesome) and now I have a HK P30SK Extra Light LEM on order, I can’t wait, LTT does some great work!!!
I have that exact setup with my P30. It makes the P30 a whole different gun. I LOVE IT, and I'm happy that someone thought enough to sell them this way. Very very cool.
As far forward as the straight trigger seems to sit does that seem odd at all when you first are using it? This is the next up gun on the list here.......
Saw the news, glad to get a video on it. I’m honestly really tempted to start saving up for the LTT P30 LEM with the medium springs exactly as you got it sent
I’m looking to get my first HK this week..P30 to be exact. It will go into my carry rotation, so stock is fine for me. Eventually would want an optic if I can find someone to do it.
A while ago I put the Grayguns short reset kit and flat trigger in my P30, however, to address one of the concerns you brought up, I paired that modification with some HK factory parts to convert to Variant 4.1CH. This effectively prestages the LEM trigger a little, resulting in the flat trigger not sitting as far forward in the trigger guard, as well as a little less take-up before the wall. I'm very happy with the outcome. I highly recommend the v4.1 conversion to anyone interested in the other modifications.
@@ASPextra It's definitely worth looking at, but please be advised that in addition to the 4.1 conversion parts from HK, you will need a different SRT kit from Grayguns. They make one specific to the 4.1 I believe.
Hallelujah, I hear angels singing ;-) and of course 6 months after I bought my first P30 LEM V1, LOL I need to check them out as I want to carry a Green dot on my P30
Always great news when someone as solid as Langdon Tactical starts putting out HKs! I have a P30L with a L&M Precision optic cut (SRO) and Lazy Wolf Rick Holm LEM Lite trigger. Can you say Primo!
The LEM has a precocked hammer. Each time the slide goes back, the hammer cocks. Result is a 5lb pull. If you get a misfire you can dbl action pull it at ~12lbs to double strike the round.
You really have to try it to understand how awesome it is. Every trigger pull is the same, so there’s no problems with dealing with two different triggers like you do with a traditional double action / single action gun. Find a gun range that has the LEM available to try.
I look, and feel like a kid, anytime I aquire a new firearm! Just don't let your wife spoil it for you, when you get home, and she says, "What the HELL IS THAT!" (experience talking)
I LTT’d my 92x. One of the best triggers I’ve ever shot. Wish I would have known they were doing this. I did a P30 and put in a whole pile of work into it. Nowhere near as good as the LTT

I'm having a hard time deciding between light and extra light. It appears you chose extra light. Have you tried them both and do you think there is much of a difference?
I’ve worked the light in their shop some is all. I have zero regrets about extra light, but I don’t know how much difference you’d be able to appreciate with the light spring set. Not too much would be my guess.
Would the light or extra light trigger be safe to carry? I'm looking into one of their guns and was curious if the light or extra light would be safe and worth it
I actually swapped to the Extra Light after shooting it awhile. I think it is safe to carry, but 100% make sure you have a holster for it that completely covers the trigger guard.
You can send in your p30 to have Langdon do any of this work for you now. You can get just the trigger job, or just the optic cut, aftermarket trigger or stock trigger, whatever you want. I sent mine in to get the optic cut only because I don’t mind the stock trigger and wanted to save myself some money.
John when you say why aren’t you at least carrying a Beretta 92 which one of the 92 models is best for conceal carry for a left hand shooter? Thank you for everything you do.
John, I'm fairly new to the channel so sorry if you've covered this in another video somewhere, but what holster are you using conceal the P30 so well? I'm considering this to replace my 320 compact which is slightly shorter and it already pokes ever so slightly. I'd rather not spend 1/2 as much on holsters as the gun trying to find one that works. 😝
I’ve had two P30s and have to say improving that terrible trigger, both DA/Sa and LEM, is a must. I traded my LEM P30 for a USP and got a much better pistol. Even Langdon couldn’t tempt me to another P30.
oh so you are responsible for Ernest doing the P-Series HK. good for you... i was very happy when i saw his video about the offering. I have to say after seeing one of your HK P30 LEM videos a few years back I switched to them as well and I got to say I'm very happy... i should have embraced them a lot sooner... did I hear you say new recoil spring? is that a custom Langdon spring? because I was not aware HK made any aftermarket springs for the hkp30 line
Is there a reason you carry a da/sa rather than a striker fired pistol? Never really been a fan of first shot being a heavier pull than the rest because I don’t want to throw my first shot since “that first shot is usually your best shot” like you always say 😜
The LEM is designed as a pre-cocked double action, so it gonna be a slightly longer pull but a crisper break. so the longer pull will help some what with safety.
Does anyone have access to the Grayguns Flat Trigger for the HK P30 V1 LEM? I cannot locate a trigger to pair with the Grayguns Short Reset system i just ordered.
Thank you so much for recognizing that there are those of us with small hands and short fingers. Unfortunately gun companies are making guns for the masses so guess it is what it is.
Thanks for the video. Some questions: How is the mounting system compared to the others you have used? Does it sit higher? Lower? Do you have to remove the plate to get the pin out for the firing pin? Are any parts different in the slide with the mounting system? Are any of the internal trigger parts plated and/or hand fitted? Hope to get updates from you when you have more time on the gun and maybe the lighter trigger setup. Right now, I bounce back and forth between Glock and a 92 LTT. I really would like to give a LTT P30 LEM a try if I can figure out what setup would work best for me (Light/Med.) , (Flat Trigger/Standard Trigger), etc. Would also like to hear your thoughts on P30 vs P30L.
About the same height, though I could get the calipers out. I don't notice a difference. I am not going to remove the plate, so no idea there. Yes, parts have been changed in the slide.
From the angle the Camara is at it looks like you just make a 100 head-shots the target was stopped long ago lol how do you justify the rest of the shots.
The P30 is a very cool looking pistol !! But the USP is the one you want for SHTF !! If these two pistols were people the P30 would be the pretty boy who constantly looks at himself in every mirror he comes across and the USP is the tough guy with a heart of gold that no one wants to piss off because he will FREAKING DESTROY THEM !! If they went to the beach the P30 would have all the chicks looking at him and the USP would be the guy who wears socks with sandals and just doesn't give a sh*t what people think because he knows he could wipe them all off the face of the planet without working up a sweat : )
I prefer a single action hammer pistol like 1911 , why put to much work in a double action pistol to get the feel of the single action pistol. If it’s for the safety reason, that is the function thumb safety Sadly most striker pistol with thumb safety are terrible, like my shield plus The only “decent” thumb safety is on the M&P compact, so you can set up a light trigger. I only understand the double action trigger, for the first shot argument, but if you don’t feel that first long travel why have a double action. Maybe I missing something
John, I know you were excited(here comes the cyber RSO), but at 3:46 it appears you aim that gun right at your head without having checked whether it was safe to handle, and either way, I know you wouldn’t advocate pointing a gun at your head regardless sir :)
In yesterday's video he picked up a VP70 off the counter and pulled the trigger. He may have checked it beforehand but even if the room's an ammo-free zone if a gun leaves my sight even for a second I check it when I pick it up again.
And I was in a room, by myself, having total control of that room, and had to hold the camera with one hand. Safety is important, but doing stupid stuff in the name of safety is not safety it's a weird shibboleth.
@@ASPextra Can’t blame you. I have their 92s and PX4s and love them. This is tempting to try out-although I might just get another PX4 but w NP3 coating this time. Not sure which.

Have they ever got around to updating the finish on the slide rework to matte/satin instead of the gloss?
Got me, you'd have to ask them. :)
Why did you switch from the VP9 to the P30 LEM?

They really hit the spot with hammer fired over striker otherwise vp9 also the 90 degree flat trigger i aussume makes it easy

I am very jealous. I am ordering this as soon as I move out of NYC in 2 months.

They don't offer just the slide. They offer a complete gun, or you can send your gun to them to do the work.

Just got my notice last week
How does an LTT trigger job or optic cut affect HK’s warranty?
I wouldn't worry about it much. Langdon warranties their own work.
Thank you for the review John! What are your thoughts on custom triggers like lazywolf and grey guns for carry pistols or should they stay stock?
I currently carry a gun with a Lazy Wolf trigger. Weight shouldn’t be below what is considered “duty-ready” which is generally seen as about 4 pounds.

Really wish the p30 had the grip length of a p2000/USP. It would be the perfect gun.
Thought you said you only shoot magtech... what's up with all that other ammo on the desk???
I was at my FFLs shop, Bobby. Said so in the beginning. They sell lots of brands.
Hk p30 has been a carry gun I've wanted for some time now and next purchase on my list will hopefully be LEM version.
