Well, in that case, from what I've experienced, HK is numero uno in that category.

DA/SA.
That said if I were to get into a gunfight and I have a "sec" to spare I'd pull back the hammer on my HK before or as I'm drawing it.

I love mine USP9c. Almost finished cerakoting it at the moment. The only issue I've had is parts being occasionally difficult to come by. When I got this one I was between it, an M&P, and a Sig 226. I wanted the Sig, I performed more consistently with the HK.

I can always count on you guys for good banter. I'm leaning toward the Hk for the fact that it can be da and sa, and that it is lighter and a better ttrigger. Plus, yall are right about the quality, can't be beat.

I would say so, that's why I asked the best there is for advice. Thank you sir.

Check out the HK 45C, just got one after months of looking for one reasonably priced. Ordered the Crossbreed IWB holster. This is my third HK and is in my opinion one of the finest handguns money can buy. You can also order 10 rd mags and a threaded barrel if you so desire. My second choice would be the Springfield XD. Just my 2 cents.

Got it. Thank you.
I was thinking about converting to light LEM so all my pistols are DAO, not sold on it though because the trigger pull is so smooth as is, even if it is heavy with hammer down.

TS, what is your current preference between the different HK DA/SA trigger variants, V1/V3/V9?
I was curious what QPs' thoughts were on the the V3 DA/SA decock-only/no safety setup.
Thanks!

I like to have a thumb safety, just very used to it after cutting my teeth on many 1911's. Another reason I hate the glock, the safety is in the wrong spot......

So, you are looking for heavy, mushy triggers on all off your pistols?

Not quite.
The thinking being any of my pistols which range from HK, M&P, Kel-tech, Revolvers all being manipulated in similar fashions, no external
safeties to mess with and consistent trigger pull.
My understanding the light LEM trigger sits the pull weight at around 4.5#.
I've heard good things about the LEM trigger but haven't shot one. The DA pull on my USP is smooth but heavy. Hoping to have a consistent smooth but lighter pull with the LEM.
I'll give you though that my M&P has a pretty mushy/gritty trigger, when money becomes more available its going to get the apex trigger set up to remedy that.

LEM trigger is terrible.....
If you haven't shot one, try it out before you buy. I have a Mark 23, USP Tactical .45, USP Tactical .40, USP V1 .40 (All SA/DA) and a USP compact .40 (LEM). It's not even an issue of getting used to it, it's just not a good trigger. The only reason I still have the compact with the LEM is that it is an issued weapon. Just my opinion, but I'm obviously a big fan of the HK USP platform........not this trigger though.

I'd love to try one but as I don't venture to public ranges much, I'm limited in my options there. I'll probably have to just buy one and if it doesn't work out I'll sell it off.
I'm guessing that if it's an issued weapon it has the heavier spring set.
I appreciate the input, I'll probably leave it alone for now.
ETA: Commercial pilots packing USPC? Good for you.
