Thanks for the correction, all. When I was looking to get one I was given bad info I guess. My apologies.

Isn't it possible to convert a V3 DA/SA P30S or P30LS to a V1 LEM and retain the safety? I seem to remember a guide showing a how-to posted somewhere.

Yes, but it leaves a gap in the back and is not a factory recommended conversion.
Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

yes. Its also apparently possible to make a decocker LEM...an LEM than decocks back to Double Action. Which I'd love to have, purely for practice, since I don't own any DA/SA guns. There was a thread on HK Pro about the conversion. Looked complicated though, and probably voids warranty.
Rare, eh?
In all fairness, it's possible you have the only one in existence...
Maybe I shouldn't be carrying it on duty then.... :O
I have two of the 9mm P30LS V1's, both set up with custom Dawson sights regulated at Dawson. They are glorious pistols. They would make a near perfect police duty pistol. Unfortunately for everyone else.......they only brought in 500 of them in each caliber and they were usually sucked up by the competition folks.

turning a V3 into a V2/V1 does technically void the warranty, if you send it back to HK for warranty work with it like that. (not saying to do anything dishonest btw.)
V2 <-> V1 is allowed all day long.
the 'decocker LEM' you're thinking of is actually termed a V0 and they apparently did configure it like that over in Europe for some agency there (I want to say Swedish police, but don't quote me on that.)
it was NOT however brought to the U.S. so it is NOT a supported/warrantied configuration here.
I personally desire to convert at least one of my V3 guns to V1 and have looked at the procedure. It's not as complex as you might think, but getting all the parts to make it happen (you can't just call up HK and ask for a kit like the USP or HK45) can be problematic at times. I haven't called HKCS lately to see if they're all available (I have all the part numbers already) so if you wanted to try you might get lucky.
