P2000 LEM???

[SCfromNY]

I had purchased a P2000sk with the DA/SA about a year ago and it slowly became my EDC. I was happy with the quality and handling. When I decided to get rid of a revolver for another .40 semi I looked around but always came back to H&K. So even if they were so similar I ordered a P2000 with the LEM trigger.

I tried the LEM trigger in a gun store with the 2000sk and while a long pull I was satisfied. Every time I dry fired it the pull was consistent.

Fast forward to my new P2000 with LEM. The first trigger pull is really DA when dry firing. Now since there is no decocker once you put one in the chamber the LEM system will always be there. My question is "Is this the way LEM works" If so the gun I dry fired was wrong or is something wrong with my new one. When dry firing I alwys get the heavy DA unless I rack the slide then I get the anticipated LEM action.

That's how LEM works. The action of the slide cycling cocks the hammer spring, resulting in a lighter trigger pull for later. If you don't rack the slide, the hammer spring doesn't get pre-loaded so you have to use more force for the DA pull.

Yup it's how it works, as long as you have loaded a round into the chamber then you will have the lighter pull as the slide will have to be pulled back to insert the round. All subsequent shots will have the same light pull. The only way you will ever experience the heavy DA pull is if you pull the trigger and the round does not go off, you then pull the trigger again in the hard DA mode for double strike capability.

The LEM by itself is terrific but if you want perfection then send it to Bill Springfiled for smoothest pull you will ever experience.

I recently received my P2000sk with LEM - am familiar with my Sig's DA/SA.

I'm concerned about safely carrying the LEM with a round in the chamber since this would result in the very light SA mode. AD sounds like a big risk this way. :eek::eek: Is the only safe alternative to rack the slide after the pistol is drawn? Does anyone else carry the LEM in this light SA mode?

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Does anyone else carry the LEM in this light SA mode?



Only a bunch of federal agents, airline pilots, cops, and armed citizens.

The light LEM trigger has the same safety features as a Glock with the added benefit that you can put your strong hand thumb on the rear of the slide and hold the hammer down to prevent an AD while holstering. Which makes it "safer" than a Glock, in my opinion. Unload your pistol and hold the hammer down with the thumb and try to pull the trigger... ... it's easy as pie to hold the hammer down, isn't it?

Thanks for the plug, Forgetfull!

Thanks for the reassuring wisdom guys.

There can be no ND (AD) unless the trigger is pulled...Keep the weapon in proper holster, don't touch the trigger 'till you're ready for it to go bang, and it still requires a deliberate press due to the initial length. Think of it this way, if you're cayying a C&L SA and train properly the safety comes off when the pistol hits the weapon retention location anyway. It takes MUCH less effort to make on of them go bang under stress... In other words don't sweat it.

Thanks to everyone for the help. Nice to see everyone loves Bill Springfield. Is there a contact number or website?

Thanks again.
