Hello friends and neighbors,
Sorry for this thread about the HK's LEM trigger system, as I know there is already a similar thread out there, but I didn't want to hijack it. So I started this one.
I've lost faith in my polymer .45 and have decided to go with a HK45 to replace it. I haven't been able to handle one with the LEM trigger though. I may be ordering one today and I'm a little unsure of which trigger to order.
I'm used to the controls for a traditional DA/SA semiauto with a thumb safety and decocker, as I have owned an FNP45. So my concern is that even though the pull is much lighter on the LEM, that the long take up will screw up my shots and serve no purpose. Am I missing something here? I get that you get a consistent and lighter trigger pull on each shot with the LEM, but is there any other advantage? Given that the HK45 with a traditional trigger system and lever can be carried cocked and locked, and will have a shorter take up in SA mode, I just don't see that much benefit in the LEM.
The intended use is bedside and HD duty, and occasional open carry on the trail.
