The p30l is my most favoritest handgun ever, I love her.

Asked the guy about ordering one and he said they can't. WTF? It was a mad house in there. I did see the P30 and liked it a lot.

Guy took ten seconds to tell me my 226 I had my mind at on was sold and that threw a wrench into everything.

Pick it up and it is unlikely you will give it back. Most common is the v3 DA/SA trigger with the rear decocker. It has a spured hammer as well. More rare are the v1/2 LEM which have a bobbed hammer and have the same trigger pull each shot. My .40 is a standard size with the external safety and my 9mm is a L version with no safety. Both are awesome.

Buying online you would only save about $40 but then you have to pay transfer and shipping. LINK Just make sure it is a BC, BB or BA date code. BC = 2012 BB = 2011 BA = 2010 I wouldn't pay full price for one older than that.

I love my 226. Don't have a P30, so I can't compare those two. But I have a do have an HK P7 that is very cool. I think you'll be fine with either one.
