I’m going to be the first voice speaking out for the P30SK. Both are very good pistols, however, I personally dislike the slide-mounted safety on the Beretta.

Honestly, you would be well served with either model.

I have a P30SKS (safety model) specifically to be able to carry AIWB and have grown quite fond of the design. Granted, it’s not the same “quality” as the USP and P2000 series HKs, but it serves me well.
 
Save yourself a couple hundred bucks. Get a standard PX4 compact and convert it to the decocker only G-type yourself with the kit from beretta's webstore.

Yeah the USP was the high water mark for polymer HK’s (or basically any brand) in that regard.
 
I really like my HK P30SK and it has never let me down. I highly recommend it if it fits one well. HK makes 10,13, and 15 round magazines for it which gives a lot of flexibility for CCW. Mine is LEM and I usually CCW with 13 round magazine. Not sure if I would like LEM but IMO for CCW it is great though my P30L is DA/SA. I was surprised how soft of a shooter the P30SK is for me including shooting with flush fit 10 round magazine. As always it is best to try out whatever one is considering and then make a choice. My P30SK first range day and first time shooting it with 13 round magazine at 21 feet and in the Ozark IWB holster I use for it. Also me gripping it with 10 and 13 round magazine.

The PX4 Custom Carry doesn’t have a safety, it decock only. I agree, I don't like the location, when it is in fact a safety. As a decocker, I’m fine with it. I don’t have a PX4 anymore, but one of my main carries is a Wilson Beretta 92G Compact. I spent the extra $$ (almost twice as much) specifically for the decock only feature.

If you really want to save money, you don’t need to buy anything to convert a PX4 to decock only.
 
I'd prefer a G26 to either one. More compact but shoots like a bigger gun. As far as the other two I think I would lean towards the HK but only with the LEM trigger but the G model Beretta wouldn't be too bad if you didn't mind carrying a gun that was less compact than a G26.
