Hi all. In January for my 21st birthday I purchased a new H&K P30 V2 as a present for myself. I love the P30 and had a question for anyone else that may happen to have the LEM version of the P30. Has anyone converted their P30 from V2 to V1 (light lem)? I have been contemplating doing so but would like to read some feedback from anyone here that may have. Thanks in advance,

Mike

V1 is DA/SA IIRC?

 

i believe someone here has converted theirs.

V3 is DA/SA.

 

V2 is the heavier LEM, V1 is the lighter LEM. The V1 has the same trigger weight as the V3 in SA. The V2 is heavier than V3 SA and lighter than V3 DA.

 

I know you cannot readily convert a V3 to anything else but I believe it's not difficult to go from V2 to V1.

I've recently converted my HK45 from DA/SA to Light LEM - it took 1-2 hours of going slowly and watching a YouTube video on how to do the conversion. There are a lot of posts on the HK forum on the conversions, suggest take a look there as I also expect someone would have made a video.

 

Not entirely sure if the P30 conversion is similar to the HK45, I assume it is reasonably similar?

It's not. The V3(DA/SA) and the V1/V2(LEM) have different frames. While people have successfully converted a V3 to a V1/V2, it's not an easy job, nor an HK supported conversion.

 

That said, in the original post, he's asking about V2 to V1. That should be a relatively easy conversion, but I cannot speak from experience because I own a V3 and have done none of these conversions.

Thanks for the replys everyone.

Im going to try to find a instructional post hopefully somewhere. Should be simple i just dont want to screw anything up lol

I have the light LEM P30 that was converted by the factory (from regular LEM). I believe it's just a matter of replacing the trigger return spring and main spring, that's the difference between a light LEM and regular LEM on the HK45.

Converting a P2000/P30 pistol from one LEM variant to another is easy, it's a change of a spring or two. Unfortunately there is no factory supported conversion from DA/SA to LEM for the P series like there is for the USP/HK45. There are kits available but it would void the warranty.

 

I called HK USA to ask why this is, and they explained the P series LEM frames and slides have small differences in dimensions from the DA/SA variants. Swapping parts between them should work but not as reliable. HK can certainly create a factory supported conversion but they simply do not offer it.

thanks again everyone for the replys. found the instructions gonna change out the springs.
