Reffers to the USPc 40

LEM?

Ok, so:

SA means cock, shoot.

DA/SA Means you pull the trigger with the wieght of the hammer once, then it's cocked for the recoil everytime after and only requires a SA pull.

DAO means you have to pull the trigger with the weight of the hammer everytime and CANNOT manually cock the gun.

CORRECT THOSE IF THEY ARE WRONG

I have NO idea what LEM means, can somebody please explain it or point me to an information website where I can study this.

Thanks

Yeah, with the LEM trigger it's like a DA revolver. There's no decocker or safety. When you rack a round into the chamber it takes a long but not especially heavy pull to fire the gun. With HK, the reset on subsequent shots is much shorter. So when I hear folks bust on the LEM trigger I wonder if they are controlling the trigger such that they only release it to the reset point for all shots after the first. I have the P2000 with the LEM trigger and like it very much,.

Sig makes a similar DA trigger setup they call DAK.

The USPc I just got has the V1 DA/SA. It has a safety which is also a decocker. So you can chamber a round and decock the hammer and carry the gun so that it takes a long, hard DA pull to fire. Or you can carry it in "condition 1" like a 1911, cocked and locked, i.e., with a round chambered, the hammer cocked and the safety on. To fire, drop the safety and a light short pull fires the gun.

Hope this helps.

HK has the manual online.

Basically when you rack the slide, the internal hammer is pre-cocked.
There is a long, light trigger pull and then a medium effort to fire.

With the trigger held back, The slide movement cocks the hammer again.
With a very short trigger reset, the trigger can be pulled again with a light effort to fire.

If the trigger is more fully released, the gun is back to the earlier pre-cocked state.

I am still getting used to it. What I like about it is that as a left hander I don't have to worry about it being variant 1 or 2 or ambi. It basically "de-cocks" by fully releasing the trigger.

Hope this helps.
