Was going to do the LEM trigger. Was notified by HK website they were avail, looked at the the price and remembered frustrated I get working on guns and passed. HK parts are pricey but in this day and age, if you want something, you had better get it now.

I've added a Jarvis threaded barrel, HK adjustable suppressor night sights, some non slip tape, streamlight light/laser and a rugged obsidian 45 suppressor.

Had another one that I had converted to 460 Rowland that I gave to my son.

Great guns.

I keep threatening to put together a 460. A USP would be a great host for it.

Eurooptics sells the components for the LEM right at 85 dollars last I checked. That 460 looks frightening.

It similar to having a custom Glock trigger in the HK, with a super light take-up, until you get to the wall, then a very short pull until the trigger breaks. It makes shooting the guns quickly and accurately much easier.

With LEM trigger installed, the gun retains double-action and single action modes?

It's not really like anything you've ever used. Go watch a few youtube video's about it. It would take a 1000 words to explain it. Basically it's a pre-cocked SA/DA that doesn't hold the hammer in the fire position and also has second strike capabilities.

What TC1 said,

It is very hard to explain.

But the hybrid of Match-LEM is without a doubt the best thing going for an HK USP. Turns it into a whole other animal.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I just picked up another USP and am going to try the Match LEM trigger recommended by Mackay_Sagebrush. Have you guys found it to be a reasonable DIY job or better left to a gunsmith?

I’m pretty decent at projects like that - any particular tools that help do it correctly?

Thanks!

Mine is DA/SA (P30L) but I have all the parts available for the conversion. I've basically done it once already but didn't have the correct trigger return spring and had to reassemble it back to stock. It's a pain in the butt but it's doable. My best advice is once the slide comes off take a bunch of pictures of it. It'll help when reassembling.

Anyway, thanks to those that have spoken about these pistols. grin

You say this like it's a bad thing......................:-)
