  • Is the LEM (Law Enforcement Modification) Trigger the holy grail of triggers? Well, I am not completely ready to say that yet, but the Lite LEM on my new HK P30sk is a really, really nice trigger out of the box. I think it’s the best trigger I have fired in a defensive handgun. Here we get our first 150 rounds through it.

    Glad to hear you are an HK ambassador. I’ve been carrying the P 30 SKS (V3) for about a year and a half. It’s probably the best overall carry gun I’ve ever owned and I’ve been carrying for more than 35 years. I love the DA/SA trigger. Thanks for sharing.

    I stopped carrying my G19 for basically all of the same reasons. With the LEM, you essentially get the consistency and ease of shooting a SA trigger and the safety of a DA hammer fired pistol without the need to decock. I also carry appendix, so I too appreciate the ability to thumb over the hammer when going back to the holster. And you don’t need to put a Gadget on your HK to get that feature....

    I totally agree with your take on the LEM. I have a P2000SK LEM and after nearly 35 years of looking for the ideal carry piece I found it. It's pretty much perfect for me and I like the safety margin built into the trigger and I prefer a hammer fired pistol. Hk's are awesome pistols and their overall quality is pretty much as good as it get! Nice review! Thanks for sharing.

  • @billjohnsonseattle
    @billjohnsonseattle 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The P30 & other HK guns with the LEM is like having a revolver type action that self cocks itself after firing, yet uncocks itself if you let up on the trigger, yet you have the benefits of semi auto capacity & fast reloading. With generally no external safety (unless you want one) the simplicity and versatility of this platform is unmatched, especially when you trick it out with a reduced reset trigger. It’s my all time favorite platform & the best self defense handgun IMO.

This time, I didn’t want to spend another $250 on another trigger job and I was fortunate to find the P30SK V1 LEM for $709 with night sights. So, I jumped on it. It will be my carry gun whenever it’s not cool enough for a jacket or hoodie.

    This is the perfect trigger:
    - Unlike striker, second strike capable
    - the first shot isn't too short and light
    - unlike DA/SA you don't have to remember to decock
    - unlike DAO, it's a short reset
    And when holstering you can hold the hammer down for that extra safety factor.

    I really appreciate your review of this gun, especially since your a lefty, as am I. I was just looking at this very gun today and really liked it. This will be my first semi auto and have been researching a lot lately. The sales associate that worked with me today was giving me some pointers on how to hold it and pull up to target. The way he showed me to hold it is exactly the way you were holding it, left thumb pointing kinda up on right side of gun and right thumb pointing strait down the barrel. I have not actually shot one yet but one thing additional he suggested was taking my right index finger, and instead of wrapping it under the trigger guard, extend it out and around the front edge of the trigger guard. I wonder if this might help keep the end of the gun down when shooting. I plan to try both ways once I get one, and see if there is a difference. I'd be curious what you thoughts are on that theory. Thanks again for a great demo and review.

    I've a HK VP 40 and I love it . I train regularly put about 150 rounds each time I go to the range . Am getting better doing dry fire as well . had a big breakthrough in that finally found my " sweet spot " when squeezing trigger . Sweet spot in that just right range of finger movement to fire and reset . Getting more accurate results and now much more confident with rapid firing . A former border patrol agent told me he likes me when I rapid fire because in a real situation you won't necessarily have a lot of time to carefully aim and shoot and he sees many people taking their sweet time . Anyway thinking of changing out the trigger to a match grade one even though it's not bad .

    I agreed with the video title even before I watched it. I've been carrying a USPc LEM for close to five years now, and it's just perfect. I like it for all the reasons that people usually mentioned. Consistent, light weight (for a duty gun) pull on every shot, but still with that second strike capability, and with the ability to thumb the hammer on reholstering ( I get very uncomfortable appendix carrying a striker gun). Add in the fact that all the newer model HKS are completely ambidextrous out of the box, and for me it really is the ultimate CCW piece.
    Probably not worth it for most people, if you ever truly want to take your HK gun to the next level, send it to Rick Holme at Lazy Wolf Guns (he does the HK competition team). His sear and coatings package we'll put an LEM on par with any good single action ( barring a 1911 or some $3,000 competition piece)

Hopefully this weekend, but it ultimately depends on when the ammo gets here.

      I looked at a P30sk the other day, and a VP9 side by side. The grip feels just about perfect. I’m just thinking I would probably carry the sk more consistently because it’s a shorter barrel and shorter grip so a lot easier to carry. I wish I could get more comfortable carrying a full size pistol. When I carry aiwb a longer barrel just pokes me and the holster leaves a hot spot on my thigh so I think a shorter barrel should do it for me. Glad you like your VP!

    I’ve started following your channel just recently and this is the first time I’ve seen you shoot. Wow! I’ve never seen someone get a sub-compact back on target so quickly before. Also, if this is the first time you are using a lite LEM that’s even more impressive how quickly you’ve adapted to it. Is the feel of the LEM in the SK the same as the regular P30? I only hear people complain about the long reset but I never see those people practicing with it or shooting it down range. They’re always reviewing it on a table top or something. I wouldn’t think a long but light trigger reset would be a noticeable thing in a real life scenario.

    Great video! Have an vp9sk with burnt bronze slide but I think it's too nice to carry. I was looking at the p365 but with all the hiccups I've heard about lately I think I'll hold off. This video definitely put the p30sk in the running. Good job. Only competition is if I want to get a carry size 1911. Have also thought about being another vp9sk in fde and just switch out the slides. That way I'll have an all black and the fde with burnt bronze. Idk pondering on it this week

      Is there an alternative magazine release to replace the stock release? I have strong fingers, and it’s incredibly difficult to drop a mag quickly with that tight release button. Perhaps a different spring or entirely different button? I saw a red anodized one on another youtube channel, but it was on a H&K V9. Also a good light for my SP2000/V2lem?

    Excellent idea. I know the P320 is striker fired... but I wish they had a way to increase the trigger pull... especially in a way that a DA/SA would work, or even like this. One person sells a heavy P320 trigger spring... but I'm not sure if it's any good or not (and it would increase every trigger pull). I like the Glocks, because the have the 8lb connector.... and for people that want an even heavier trigger they can get the NY trigger springs (which are kind of excessive).

    Send it to greyguns, then it will be good haha. I have a video on it and the LEM.
    It's not that there are two springs in the gun (every gun has a trigger spring and hammer spring) it's that the hammer is in two pieces.
    It's designed for the pretravel to be taken up, then break the shot. The long takeup is just in lieu of a trigger bar safety. 👍

    QUESTION AND COMMENT FOR ALL LEM USERS AND "ACTIVE SELF PROTECTION EXTRA":
    FYI I got a question for anyone with a LEM. I dry-fired it a bit and was practicing with the trigger's take up (So not fully dry-firing but going to the take-up) I broke the trigger return spring, replaced it, but my dad ordered the V1 one, so it had no take up and was ridiculous, put in another one, broke. Sent it to HK which I shoulda done in the first place (and I'm the idiot who broke it with wreckless dry-firing).
    Came back working flawless like you'd expect. But one weird thing....there is not an audible click but a new kinda click or....maybe a rubbing of some of the parts at the very beginning.
    Outside of my dumb-ass dry firing breaking the return spring and assuming snap caps are in there, is this gun okay to dry-fire? The manual is kinda vague on it and I've gotten a lot of vague answers. Range time isn't always an option and while dry-firing won't perfect my shooting, it'll help me on the pull so....just curious if Dry-Firing is a big no-no with this gun due to the mechanics. Still love it, and 1k rounds in it has never not worked in live-fire.

    That trigger looks amazing! I've always hated double action triggers.
    Is 2nd strike capability really that important?
    If you survive a defensive encounter after a round fails to fire, do you really want to give that round a second chance? Wouldn't it be preferable to rack the slide and try again?

    • @ASPextra
      @ASPextra  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Faster to try to hit it again before the tap and rack.

    • @asdfghjk2933
      @asdfghjk2933 ปีที่แล้ว

      Spamming the trigger is a HELL of a lot faster than having to tap rack, so yeah. This basically ensures that a light strike won't be a potentially fight stopping problem if it happens to you. Huge advantage.

      There is a variant (V0) of the LEM that has a decocker, making it a LEM/DA. I’ve never seen one commercially available in the US though so practically, any P30 with a decocker will be DA/SA (V3). I have heard that you can convert a V3 to a V0....

    I have the HK 45 with the LEM and "clean sides" (no levers, safety, etc.) like a Glock . And I bought a Gen 5 Glock 21 almost at the same time. I've been a Glock shooter for 20+ years. I'm now totally converted to HK! Because of the LEM! The Glock stays in the safe. HK has better ergonomics, better build quality, the glass filled polymer isn't as "plasticky" feeling as the Glock, or those SIG P-365s and 320s, which I abhor . The HK P-30 SK with LEM is going to be my new EDC. It's worth the few hundred extra bucks!

    John, is your EDC still the P30? Curious to know if you had a shortened reset trigger added to yours?Just picked up this p30sk v1 and my only complaint is the long reset. I also watched your video on pinning the trigger so was wondering how you feel about something like the Grayguns Reduced Reset Carry Perfection Package and if you recommend it for an EDC?

    @AlexN2022 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    you're trying it on P30 - try it on HK45. It rivals 1911's. On HK45 its not so much of a light double action as it's a long single action. All benefits, no drawbacks.

  • @AF-xi4ub

    I love the LEM trigger . Im not big enough to carry IWB hip. I don't wear baggy clothes, so I need to carry appendix and this is one of the few guns I trust not to shoot my twig and berries off. Yes I train on holster draws but my boys are too important to even take the risk. I want a nice double action first shot then right into single action.

    @theguyinmaine 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Help me out if you could please. I have a p30skv3 and love it. Thinking LEM, the question, a long harder pull first round, a short pull after. Does it go back to the long harder pull when you let fully off the trigger and holster? I don't want a striker fire trigger when holstering. Really, never. Don't like them. Thanks.

    • @ASPextra
      @ASPextra  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      LEM is a single trigger pull. V1 LEM is light, long on the first pull, short on subsequent. Hammer spur is deleted, but hammer can still be blocked for reholstering.
