Recently picked one of these up I think it’s the LEM model. No safety or decocker, anyone have any experience with this pistol? How does it compare to a USP .40? Also anyone know anywhere I can get some mags for this thing at a decent price? Thanks.

I carried one witha tlr1 for work for 5 years. I am a fan. I used a usp45 at one job, and the p30l at the other (no 45s allowed). I ended up converting the usp to lem because I liked the trigger system that much. Not much trigger time on a usp40, but the p30l just feels perfect in my hand. The lack of capacity sucks on it, but I got around that by running +5 extensions on mine, never had a single issue with them. As for cheap mags, all I can say is good luck.

Awesome which holster were you running? I got some mags from RTG like you said, not cheap. Capacity does suck I need to get a few +5s also. You would think with H&K releasing the 17 round mags for the VP9 they could crank out some 15 rounders for the 40.

I ran a safariland duty rig. Taylor freelance extensions. I agree, 15 rounders from the factory would be nice (and I told the hk reps that at the shotshow range day last year), but it seems everyone is giving up on .40.

Decent priced mags in the EE...

Thanks!

You bet!

I had a pair of them with factory night sights.  They replaced a USP Compact 40SW.  They're great guns albeit a little big / blocky for CCW use.

I had a huge pile of spare mags that I sold for $18 each (NIW) when I sold the guns late last year.

Follow on comment ...

As it turns out I preferred the USP Compact V1 over the P30L LEM.  I'm use to cocked-and-locked and couldn't adjust to the LEM.  I've had a P30, P30SK, P2000, P2000SK and the two P30L with LEM and in spite of the internet love for it ... I think its too long and stagy. Granted, I've been shooting 1911s and (worked over / action + trigger jobbed) Beretta 92 series guns for decades so my trigger tastes run more traditional. Overall, I really liked the the P30L LEM 40's but ultimately they didn't fit into any specific niche need I had.  They made great bedside guns with a TLR-1HL attached but that wasn't reason enough to keep them.  The USP-C40 with a Grey's Guns SRS installed was nothing short of amazing in trigger comparison.

The only polymer framed guns that I "like" are the USP, USP Compact, P2000, P30, and HK45 series.  I've owned many others and still have Glock but I have little faith in any polymer gun outside of H&K.  In fact, I fired my HK45C this morning.

I replaced an ancient USP .40 V1 for this P30L. After shooting it the other day I think I made the right choice. Thanks for all the input everyone.

Hell ya man, I tried to find one earlier but since then I haven’t seen one!

Got lucky and found this one “used” locally at my range. I think I paid $600 for it.
