There were EFK conversion barrels but I wouldn't trust one for carry also I just did a search on their website and couldn't find one that wasn't ported. There are quite a few items marked as final sale so that makes me wonder if they are discontinuing some of their SKU's.

There's a 9mm P30V3 for sale locally. It's been there awhile, like new, is under 6 bills, and won't leave my thoughts. You all aren't helping. Not having a gadget for my Gen 5 yet almost seems like reason enough to buy it. It checks a lot of boxes. Light, accurate, reliable, hammer, after market support.
V3 vs V1 is a tough decision. Seems V1 is the simplest and most like what striker users are used to only because of the one pull weight versus da and sa. Probably can't go wrong either way.
I am trading my V1 for a V3 when I get back to the States. I just like the V3 P2000s I have (3) so I am trying to standardize on trigger.
If anyone is looking at moving a P30skV3 or P2000V3 for a P2000 LEM let me know in December I will trade.
My P30L, light LEM, has gone 6,000 rounds without a single malfunction. I think that's pretty much the norm for the P30.
I have both a P30L V1 light LEM and a VP40, both in .40. They're both excellent guns, but the P30L is a better threat management/duty gun. The longer slide is really more comparable to most manufacturer's full-size profiles, so the P30L is quite easy to carry, both with an IWB and OWB holsters. I easily classified with my P30L shortly after I got it-it has an amazingly natural index (once grips/backstraps are individually sorted out) and superb accuracy. Absolutely zero hiccups in mine, using aluminum and brass-cased Federal Champion primarily (HST and Golden Saber for carry).
Best, Jon

I know the P30 has an edge in durability and accuracy over most other designs, but those aren't the only qualities that make a good pistol. I owned a V3 P30 (9mm) and put about eight thousand rounds through the thing shooting at cans and boxes. I traded it for a VP40, which I then proceeded to trade in for an AR. I didn't like the LEM trigger, and I found both pistols to have an unacceptable level of "trigger bite." In addition, the sights on the P30 were atrocious, as I think Toddg mentioned more than once.
Since I'm an (obvious) amateur, can someone tell me what makes the P30 a cut above the rest?
Edit: that's V2, not V3.
