The modern duty pistol needs to balance ergonomic control, reliable controls, and sighting options that work in low light. This review examines a used Heckler & Koch pistol that delivers those attributes in a familiar, battle-tested package while offering solid value for the budget-conscious shooter.

HK P30LS — This used H&K P30LS V3 has under 500 rounds through it and ships with the original box, two 17-round magazines, backstraps, and palm-swells. It shows minor wear marks on the slide and barrel, and comes fitted with tritium and fiber optic TruGlo iron sights. The example includes the thumb safety and decocker along with the DA/SA trigger configuration, making it a versatile option for both range work and defensive carry.

Ergonomics and Controls

Heckler & Koch built the P30 series around user-adjustable ergonomics. The included backstraps and palm-swells let shooters tailor grip thickness and purchase quickly. The DA/SA trigger with thumb safety/decocker provides manual safety options and a defined first-strike pull, favored by shooters transitioning between service and defensive roles. For those who prioritize a positive manual safety, this specimen’s thumb safety and decocker combination adds an extra layer of control without sacrificing rapid follow-up shots.

Sights and On-Target Performance

The installed TruGlo iron sights combine tritium for night visibility with a fiber optic front for fast daylight acquisition — a hybrid that works across light conditions. Less than 500 rounds through the gun indicates a largely unworked barrel and components, and the minor wear present on the slide and barrel is cosmetic rather than functional. Note that the specific caliber is not listed on the shop page; confirm caliber before purchasing to match your intended use and ammunition availability.
