Here are some videos of the LEM in action. I have less than 300 rounds through the gun and it is coming along nicely. I need to shoot it a little more consistently, and once I have finished my first 1000 rounds, I imagine I will be most of the way there. The trigger break itself is fantastic, and the re-set is as good as I care about, but the thing to learn about the gun is the very long, very light slack. It doesn’t matter, but it needs to be understood and expected. Half the time, I still think I will get a nice DA pull, and of course, that doesn’t happen.
Here is a video of my first Cold Heat. Not my best, not my worst, but no issue with the trigger.
The next video starts with a Bill’ish drill. Trigger work in this case was not great, but splits were very close to what I can do normally. Again, the trigger is not handicapping me here. The second half of the video shows some careful shooting, referencing last week’s post. The LEM makes this almost effortless. The combination of the short light break, the flat trigger at 90 degrees, and the overall shootability of the P30L combine to make a very effective package. Of course, Ernest Langdon and his elves (meant most nicely, it is Christmas soon, after all) did a great job putting it all together.
not having any experience with H&K I’ve learned something, what an LEM trigger is, I am now a tiny bit more knowledgeable, thank you
I don’t know that I did much of a job in explaining it, maybe I should have now that you mention it.
I think the easiest way to explain an LEM trigger to someone who has never shot one before is as a two-stage trigger with a very long first stage, then a wall and a clean-ish break. It may not technically (mechanically) be a two-stage trigger in the same way as a Geissele SSA for example, but that’s more or less how it behaves.
Makes sense to me!
