"Light Trigger Return Spring" is the actual part name. It reduces the overall trigger pull that so many complained about so my guess is they got tired of seeing bad reviews on the P30v3,v2,v1 series regarding trigger travel and release. The only way I found out HK started using this spring was several of my teammates have P30v3's from 2012 and you can visually see the difference in the thickness of the spring. I called HK and their answer was "this was intended for research purposes and feedback from buyers" but would not come out and admit this was a new standard. My son purchased the same pistol P30v3 and it was built in 2014 and it also had the new Light Trigger Return Spring. For me it really never mattered because it's a combat pistol not a competition pistol and when under fire I never paused and said, hmm you know the travel on this trigger is way to long....
I’ve owned both, my finger hates the P30 v3 trigger, shoot the P07 better.
Should know soon enough. I got tired of watching the Grey German P30S on sale at CF for $500. We'll see. I DID shoot one on the range some time ago, and it was about as good as my P07 - but different. But as always, it will take a case to start knowing the difference.
The trick about CZs, and especially P series is that they can be ALL over the map wrt DA triggers. I've seen them superb OTB, and some are just awful. I recently ALMOST sold one because even after a bunch of work and sending it back to CZUSA, it was mediocre with a stacking, etc. After some judicious studying and polishing, it is excellent.

Side by side my P07 is King of the 9s. But it’s had cajunizing and a case of ammo.
New p30s did well though. I shot it first yesterday and I rang the steel well at 7-8 yards and the trigger seemed decent deposite the length of pull and stacking. Eventually if I concentrated, I could group fairly well in DA. The P07 is just a cinch to do the same and is easier to group with because stacking and staging and grit are gone. But I ALMOST sold the p07 a few months ago because I needed to work
It more.
Next I will put the reduced FPBS in theP30 then compare. The Germans put a STUPID strong FPBS into their guns which is the supposed culprit. I also do NOT understand why someone doesn’t offer a reduced FP spring in HK and SIG like CGW does for CZ. Then you can run reduced mainsprings with no risk of light strikes . Too easy.
I love my p30 line up. I have p30sk v3, p30l v3 and p30 lem
Ordered srt for all of them hopefully they arrive this week

Put the light FPBS and wow - the stacking went away almost completely. There is still a bit of grit, but it is much better. Need to shoot side by side some more. Great gun. Sure wish someone made a slightly extended FP so you could run reduced mainsprings with no loss of ultimate reliability.
Todd Green ran a P30 to well over 90,000 rounds.
