Is the LEM Trigger the Holy Grail? (HK P30sk first shots) | Active Self Protection Extra

[@kensakata5124]

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....

[@ASPextra]

I don't mind the SCD and have one on my G43. But I agree!

[@John1911]

I have been running a VP for about 3 years now as well. And this is why I am even looking at these LEM guns. I am by no means a HK fan boy. But your comment is spot on. -Marky

I need a P30SK for the reasons you describe, but can’t make up my mind if I want the Light LEM, or V3s.

[@matthewbeaver5026]

@@formerpilgrim4934 what's the difference?

[@user-lg4zm5nj8t]

You can always just get the TAO development striker control device and that would allow you to thumb it while bolstering.

[@farwalker3672]

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.

Carrying the P30sk LEM for over two years. Really love the 13 rounders H&K has now. The LEM trigger and AIWB are the way to go for reasons you covered. I'll bet you switch to the full size P30 LEM when you get it. Looking forward to that vid.

[@ASPextra]

Yeah especially because it's having a RMR mounted. :) Once I get the full size P30 done, it will become my carry gun most likely.

[@bentleylagerlive]

@@ASPextra as mentioned in my earlier comment, my new EDC is the P30L V1 9mm, im getting a custom compensator cnc machined and a +5 baseplate extension added to give it 21 total rounds. Stoked. Enjoy and congratulation on the HK Knighthood.

[@billjohnsonseattle]

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.

[@lakeeriemonster4541]

That’s my exact carry piece. I like the LEM, but I learned handgun shooting on an old Smith&Wesson model 15. Shot it mostly double action. I consider the LEM a 1.5 action. Also, it’ll take your VP9 15 round mags.

[@jonathan2282]

I got a P30SK in October as my concealed weapon. Loved it, so I picked up a P30L a couple weeks ago to carry at work. Great guns.

[@ApharmdBattler]

I love this pistol. I bought one last with the LEM trigger and it is my EDC. And I love how I can use my VP9 and VP9sk magazines with this as well. Now I just need to find a nice Kydex IWB holster for P30sk equipped with a Crimson Trace laser. I can't believe I missed this video.

[@earlyhead]

Bought the same gun about a year ago. Love the LEM trigger. It's my primary carry gun.

[@Treblaine]

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.

[@ASPextra]

Yep.

[@michaeledwards7668]

Active Self Protection Extra so is there 2 different versions of the LEM trigger? If so I want to make sure I get the better of the 2.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

They need all the help they can get. Aside from Glock, the German gun makers seem to be hampering their own success in the U.S. Walther was poised to really become a player, but they shot themselves in the foot.

[@ericmckinley5777]

Glock is Austrian, that's why.

[@andog6092]

@Tacticool my p30 has been way more reliable than my glock 19 gen 4. Now I actually liked the gen 3 more, but my 19 was a jam o matic. Even my dads ccw for the longest time was the 26, still not close to hk. I honestly stopped carrying a glock when I pulled a glock mag out my pouch and it was completely busted along the witnesse holes in the back. Only downside to hk is do not drop a full mag on a hard surface. The mags empty are fine, a fully loaded mag will cause issues if you bounce it off concrete. If you do see this and decide you want one, don't over pay. I picked up my p30 for 550, I almost picked up a p30L the other day and in a matter of 10 mins the price went from 615, to 883. Hk lowered the price of a lot of their guns around the time covid hit. Pretty much everyone but the usp. A lot of gunshops are using it as a way to screw people out of money which is shady

[@kennethwalton5582]

I just ordered my P30SK V1 LEM this past Black Friday. I already have the P30LS V3, and I spent about $250 to have a trigger job done and it’s now a nice trigger from the stock trigger. 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.

[@ASPextra]

Good choice. If I may, you will be amazed what a trigger job from Lazy Wolf or Grayguns will do for a V1 LEM

[@ThePatriotsway]

Picking up a P30SK, once I pay it off......can’t wait for it! Getting the DA/SA one though, will be my first HK. Sweet pistolas!

[@RdeneckTech]

I purchased the VP40 yesterday when I was originally contemplating a SIG 229, S&W M&P40, and a Canik TP40SF. As soon as I held it, it felt like a dream, and the reset is what sold me on the VP series instead of the p30. I will do a 500 round burndown and try to remember to revisit this comment to update my personal opinion about this pistol. Hopefully this weekend, but it ultimately depends on when the ammo gets here.

[@ASPextra]

It's a fine pistol and I could carry a VP9 my whole life and be perfectly happy. :)

[@RdeneckTech]

@@ASPextra I hope I feel the same. It is a very comfortable "out of the box" firearm with a great trigger. For the first time in my life, an online ammo order arrived before the ATF cleared the BGC. 1000 rounds before a firearm in hand literally blows my mind. Is your preference striker fire? I haven't seen a video of yours that describes preference of striker vs hammer fire. I apologize for my ignorance in advance.

[@RdeneckTech]

@@ASPextra You called it John. 200 rounds in with junk and random ammo, left handed, right handed, ammo in the dirt before loading, mags in the dirt, firearm in the dirt..... Zero malfunctions. I also run, and do jumping jacks, push ups, and burpees to keep my heart rate jacked between drills. The weapon still shoots exactly where one points the barrel. No buyers remorse here. This sidearm is worth every penny.

[@DIYDad1]

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!

[@MSKommando]

I bought the VP9 Sk.

[@ASPextra]

My XO owns one and loves it.

[@davidzahorsky825]

I also bought one (first firearm). Feel it's incredibly accurate for its barrel length and serves as my edc and home defense pistol (flush for carry, the pinkie extension makes the grip nearly to that of a full sized pistol)

Hk's are awesome pistols and their overall quality is pretty much as good as it get! Nice review! Thanks for sharing.

[@j.s.b.6893]

Lem is great with a little training. My wife is very accurate with it

[@Laotzu.Goldbug]

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)

[@LifeisGood762]

Glad you mentioned that you didn't like the "true" decocked DAO trigger. I tried a non LEM P30 trigger and didn't like it in DAO either. I want to try one with this LEM trigger.

This is a pretty old video. HK has made changes. They have redesigned the magazine follower, spring and baseplate. The 10 round magazines now hold 12 rounds and the 13 round magazines hold 15 rounds. All the changes were internal and the magazines are the same length as before.

[@ASPextra]

Yep the redesigned mags are the bees knees!

[@nhwnhw02]

@ASPextra If you have old 15 round 9mm P30 or VP9 magazines. HK will sell you a new spring, follower and baseplate so you can convert them to 17 rounds. These come packed in a HK bag. Cost is generally less than $15 per kit.

Similar but the LEM is a lot better feeling.

[@theguyinmaine]

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]

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.

[@SteveL1100]

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!

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.

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 .

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).

[@TheBoxingCannabyte]

I just traded my HK USP .40 for a SIG P226 with an SRT and A DAK trigger (DAK installed), don't wig out on me yet! It's also a Stainless Elite, and I got the USP .40 for $500 after a military discount and a friend who worked at the store, double discounted worked out to 15% off and it was used...anyway, so got the SIG For a song. But before that I aquired, to me, the best carry piece I've ever had, the HK P2000 V2 LEM. I am REALLY loving the DAK though, it doesn't have a consistent trigger pull like the LEM does but it does have an SRT function that takes it to a very very very crisp, no-take-up, basically a heavier 1911 trigger or heavy glock trigger but totally managable. The LEM is like...well, it's like the Clarinet, you learn the Saxophone (I know from experience) you can play the Clarinet. You learn the DAK or a really, really nice revolver (seriously the pull on the DAK is like a 2.5k revolver I handled), the LEM is totally unique but it still provides that resistance that is revolver-DAK-adjacent enough. Both are surprisingly speedy and great for follow ups. Right now you can get a P2000 V1-V2 LEM for $600 or under and a SIG P226 DAK .40 for $550 tops (used) probably $450, police/military turn ins that are in fantastic condition. The P2000 you can get new for $600 or used for $500 from what I've seen at gunbroker and utahgunexchange. Good luck folks! Sorrya bout the long post.

[@ASPextra]

Yeah, I prefer the LEM to the DAK, but to each their own. :) Glad you got yours for a song!

[@TheBoxingCannabyte]

After comparing the two, I definitely prefer the LEM to the DAK. I am going to be carrying a SIG 1911 for duty carry this fall, excellent gun, can't go wrong with it. But the P2000 V2 LEM (.40, though I generally prefer 9mm) and my P30SK Da/Sa will be regular carries for me. Wound up selling the SIG P220 Carry to help fund a few other pieces, kinda regret getting rid of it and the USP but I wound up with a really, really nice 1911 (Scorpion or Emporer scorpion, kinda hard to tell because it was decked out, there is metal checkering on both front and back, custom grips, wilson combat steel trigger, all the original parts and grip came with it for only $800. Not heavily used, standard 1911 tolerances which I prefer, etc.) Probably going for an HK 45 next, haven't decided if I'll do LEM or not (it kinda depends on my wife and my dad) my wife wound up loving the LEM, hating the DAK, which was funny because when she tried them in the shop she got SOOOOO mad at me for getting hte P2000 for my birthday present April this year. Now she carries it more than I do! She has a Smith and Wesson M&P Shield which I gotta say....how thin it is and hte Performance Center edition features...it gives my P30SK a run for its money!

PPS: What's funny is right now I probably shoot the DAK a bit better than the LEM, my wife out-shoots me on DA on DA/SA pistols but can't handle the DAK that well for some reason, weird...but she shoots the lem really , really well. Comfortable with her carrying it. She generally open-carries where we live, not that the P2000 isnt' easily concealable.

IIRC the DAK was made for LE agency requests. But it was so unpopular or disliked its rare to actually find one. AIM had some DAK triggered Sigs (LE trade ins') this winter but had some problems selling them.

[@johndeere1951a]

Title should be " LEM Lite" explained. Thanks, but we dont hear or see most of what your demonstrating, but i get the point. 💥🎯 LEM.vs LEM Lite

[@coreymoyers]

Any idea when they will release a 2020 style P30 with 17 round mags, suppressor height sights and cut for an optic?

[@azcop2]

Similar to a Sig DAK with a lighter second trigger reset.

[@ASPextra]

Not too far apart. I think LEM is a better execution of the idea.

[@azcop2]

I agree. @@ASPextra

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.

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

[@matthewbeaver5026]

Which way did u go? I've got a vp9 and can't decide whether I want a vp9sk or p30sk they both seem to be great firearms Leaning towards the p30, hammer being a bit safer for carry

[@waynesworld9753]

@@matthewbeaver5026 I have a p30 v3 not the LEM version and I love it great pistol I carry it everyday

[@griffingoodman]

Can you recommended an AIWB holster for the P30sk? I’m having a hard time finding one.

[@ASPextra]

My favorite kydex holster maker is Gabe at The Armory: get-asp.com/ksgarmory and if you use coupon ASP2018 you get 10% off. (I make nothing)

[@surlyfan]

Dark Star Gear and Vedder make AIWB options.

I can’t help but appreciate the fact that you’re a southpaw! This is one of the main reasons I bought a HK P2000 (lem).... ambidextrous mag release (and de-cocker for non lem models). Sub Compact should make it comfy for conceal/carry, eh? Any suggestions for a good holster? Thanks.

[@ASPextra]

P2000 is difficult at times.

[@frankgon4]

I want to add an HK to my collection. Which HK (roughly equivalent to the size of a Glock 19) do you recommend with LEM Trigger?

[@ASPextra]

P30.

[@venomgt7299]

I just sold my Glock 19 to help purchase my hk p30sk.I got night sights and Double/single with decocker.I will have to see if it was the LEM trigger as I didn't check.Cant wait to pick it up and go shooting.Good review

[@ASPextra]

If it has a decocker, then it's not LEM. :)

[@kensakata5124]

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....

[@venomgt7299]

Ken Sakata Thanks for the input.I checked my receipt and see the variant I order is V3 DA/SA night sights and 3 magazines.One of the magazines has the pinky extension.I don’t mind having an 11lb DA and a 5-6lb SA.Cant wait to pick it up this Tuesday as MD makes you wait 7 days

[@venomgt7299]

Now we need HK to finally put out an optics ready pistol.I have two rmr's just waiting to go on my p30 or vp9.I know APO and other companies to milling but it would be nice for HK to have their own optics ready platform.I will keep dreaming

[@ASPextra]

As a guy who has a P30 being milled for an optic right now, I am in full agreement. :)

[@venomgt7299]

Active Self Protection Extra Glock, Sig, Springfield ,FNH and S&W all have optic platforms.But I prefer my VP9 and new P30 sk.I just hope one day Heckler & Koch see's a market for it John.My favorite shooting pistol

[@brianshuler6951]

I have been unable to locate a V1 lite LEM trigger kit for my USPc 9mm that I bought new in 2000. I am certain there are sources we have missed, but, I and my gunsmiths have searched nationwide with no success. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for all you have taught me over the years.

[@ASPextra]

Those kits for the USP are rare as hen's teeth!

[@brianshuler6951]

@@ASPextra That's what I am finding out. The couple of leads I have gotten have not panned out, especially for a pre-2005 model. Still looking, but, my hopes are dwindling. Thank you for responding. Y'all have always tried to help me when I have asked.
