P30 Reset - LEM vs DA/SA

[kjdoski]

Hi, all. I've been itching to pick up a P30 since the first time I held one, and I'm getting closer to dropping the hammer on one. I think I want to get one with the LEM trigger (which I'll upgrade to the heavier reset spring, most likely), but the reset on the LEM that I dry fired last week seemed VERY long.

I grew up with DA/SA pistols (M9s and M11s), and, if there's a speed/accuracy advantage in to be found in the SA reset of the P30's DA/SA, I'd be willing to train through the DA pull. But, dry firing side-by-side, I didn't notice any appreciable difference in reset point between the LEM and the SA trigger.

Does anyone have the reset distances handy, to see if I was hallucinating?

Thanks!

Kevin, I don't have any measurements, but having fired P30 in both configurations, I believe you're not hallucinating and there is no perceptible difference between the two.
To add to spr1 point, I shot Todd's pistol and had no issues with working trigger, although it was relatively slow familiarization fire. I then spent a couple of hundred rounds through a rental DA/SA P30 and, being a Glock and 1911 user, had several instances of frozen trigger due to my failure to let trigger reset.
If I were to go P30, I'd have to equally work around reset with any P30 variant.

They are quite similar in reset. IMO, reset is over rated. If you are willing to train, you will learn the reset, regardless of variant. I personally prefer the V3 and have never suffered from trigger freeze. With that said, I only own and shoot HK DA/SA pistols. I am a big advocate of consistency and platform standardization.

If you don't mind spending $300 more then you can send it off to Grayguns for his complete action job which includes reducing the reset length.

I just got my LEM P30 back from him and the reset is about 60% of stock length. Haven't had a chance to go out and shoot it yet but dry firing feels really nice. The break is very clean and the reset is positive feeling. Still a little longer then ideal just for my brain...when letting it out I'm like "this is where I think it's going to reset" but it doesn't until I let out another 1/8 inch or so. That just seems like something that'll go away though as I actually put rounds through the gun.

Greyguns can reduce the reset to 50% of stock but they state that doing so should only be for competition guns so I opted not to go with that package as I intend to use the gun as a CCW in the colder months.
