HK45 LEM...is there such a beast?

[decodeddiesel]

The LEM trigger pull on a HK45 is going to be almost identical to the SA trigger pull you have now, but with more take-up on the first shot (that distance being in lieu of a manual safety).

Don't have it yet Todd, just trying to research as much as possible.

While that sounds nice for the range, I am thinking going with the V4 would probably be a better choice for me if I were to carry the pistol. Still though it's good to hear a tangible explanation of what the trigger pull would be from the LEM kit.

You'd need a heavier trigger return spring to get the V4 feel. I don't know if such a thing exits for the HK45.

I see. I figured the spring would be the same as the P30, which I understand was not a safe assumption.

Still though I don't think I would be that uncomfortable carrying the pistol with the "lightest" LEM trigger. I don't imagine it's that much different than an M&P trigger when it comes to ADs, plus I can keep my thumb on the hammer while holstering.

I ended up getting the light LEM kit which gave me a trigger pull identical to the SA pill before the conversion. Measured on my scale it registered just over 4#. Reset was maybe a little longer than the standard trigger. For me the LEM was the best combo. I have small hands so manipulating the safety, while doable was still a bear. Reaching the DA trigger was a definite no-no. The LEM offered me a safe way to carry the gun and still be quick and accurate on target. It will take a little time to master, but nothing like learning to master a Glock trigger.

Your wife told you not to touch, and you did. You must live with the consequences.

Story of my life, LOL.

You can order a LEM equipped HK 45 from HK. I have never seen a stock one anywhere except for older models like the P2000. Or you can buy a standard model and have HK do it for I think $250. Or you can do it yourself as others have mentioned. As far as thumb safeties go I think it is quite good on the HK 45 but I much prefer the LEM trigger and the thumb safety gets in the way of my high grip and big hands. Despite many years of being issued and owning 1911's I have never felt the need for a manual safety on other pistols. A lot of people have said the light LEM is very light. I have not tried one myself.

I have an HK45 with Light LEM. Essentially an LEM with match grade parts. I guess they refer to it as the Combat Competion trigger.

I have a .40S&W USPc and and HK Expert in .40S&W configured the same way, and my 9mm Expert is in HK's hands undergoing the same treatment as I type...

Phenominal trigger actions with a very short reset (compared to V2 LEM in particular) on spectacular platforms, IMHO...

I truly can't wait for HK to release these parts for my P30 LEM...
