Owners who specifically sought out the P30LS V3 over the standard P30L generally did so for the manual safety. For those trained on safety-equipped DA/SA pistols, the added manual safety on the P30LS fits an established manual of arms. Shooters who prefer a pure decocker-only setup sometimes find the safety redundant.

The ambidextrous design is a recurring positive, particularly among left-handed shooters. The P30LS functions identically with either hand without aftermarket modifications. The 4.45-inch barrel and full-size grip make it a better fit for duty or range use than for daily concealed carry.

The P30LS V3 carries a premium over competitors in the DA/SA segment. Long-term owners report consistent reliability. The trigger on the DA/SA version divides opinion, with the initial DA pull drawing the most commentary, though most shooters adapt with regular practice.
