The LEM HKs are interesting because they have the weight savings of a polymer framed gun but I don’t like how the trigger is so light. I think I’d prefer the additional take up found in the DAK design, but they are much heavier guns because of the frame material. I wish the p250 was still widely available.
I’m tempted to get a NOS p224 but I’m hesitant to get a gun that’s no longer in production. If it needs repairs or warranty work at some point, will parts be available for a gun with such a short production period?
I guess I’m wanting a gun that just isn’t current production... this search has been somewhat frustrating.
A few things to note on the LEM triggers. Yes there is two versions, a light and a standard.I believe the LEM models by HK are available in different trigger weights by mixing different springs.
If you want to know how the standard feels all you need to do is dry fire s light LEM and then pull the trigger again without cycling the slide.
The takeup on the LEM is long and even with the light LEM I find I can stage the trigger quickly and controllably. It's almost like shooting a SA. But that's just my opinion.
Alternatively I've heard a person can get a standard SA/DA HK with a safety and decocker, convert it to LEM, and then use the decocker to decock the LEM action. This makes the first shot like the standard LEM trigger, and then subsequent shots like the light LEM. It seems a good solution for those nervous about the light LEM. The down side is it will add around $200 to the cost.
