I have handled several HK's over the years and like the manual of arms. Particularly the ability of the HK45/USP45 to have a round in the chamber, decocked and safety on which disables the double action trigger pull until the safety is released. Does the P30SKS V3 have the same capability of allowing the safety to be on with the hammer in the decocked position? The reason I ask is that many firearms will not allow the safety to be actuated when the hammer is in the lowered position. One example of this is the 1911. I understand why it is fruitless on the 1911 because of the single action trigger but wonder about the P30 V3 as I have never handled one.

Please post pistol questions in the appropriate forum room.

Yes it does.

I’ve had a P30SKS and a P30LS. Both operate the safety independently of the hammer position. Can also be decocked while the safety is on as the decocker and safety are two different controls.

Thanks for moving this, I wasn't sure about posting HK question in the SIG pistol sub forum.

You also can carry it cocked and locked like a 1911.

The great thing about HK's (USP in particular) is that you can pick several different submodes under a given version, like cocked and locked with a DA/SA gun.
The fact that you can't officially change versions in a P30 is a slight irritant, but the safety (LS versions) is the same regardless of version.
