Introduced in 2008, the P30L (for Long) is essentially identical to the P30 except P30L has a 1/2" longer slide and barrel. Like the P30, the P30L was designed as a modern police and security pistol and combines optimal function and safety. Features include a special grip frame with interchangeable backstrap inserts and lateral plates, ambidextrous slide and magazine release levers, and a Picatinny rail molded into the front of the frame. The extractor serves as a loaded chamber indicator providing a reminder of a loaded chamber that can be subtly seen and felt. This P30L is a V1 "Lite" LEM trigger system which is a DAO. It does not have an external safety or decocking system.
