The trigger on my P7M8 is probably one of the nicest I’ve ever used. Too bad the P30 is not a P7. I feel like HK believes they should have a “combat trigger,” not realizing “combat trigger” and “sucks balls” don’t have to be the same thing. I’ve never liked the LEM all that much and the “match” trigger on my 45 Tactical was marginal. I understand it is not going to be a 1911, but there’s no reason it couldn’t be better.
I’d be more interested in a P30 with a threaded barrel and the decocker like the USP than a LEM. But this thread isn’t about that.
I’m not a real big fan of the DAO in semi automatic handguns. The LEM is a cool idea but it doesn’t really do anything for me. People complain about the trigger on the P30, after about 1k rounds mine cleaned up nicely. It’s got creep but it’s very smooth now.
I would, however, bust a nut if they could give it a shorter crisper pull/reset. I will admit that the trigger is the downside to the P30.
If anyone thinks their P30 or HK45 has a good trigger then it sounds like they have no idea what a good trigger actually is or have spent too long away from one…
The P7’s have awesome triggers and IMHO were the last H&K pistols that were truly exceptional. In fact, their only real drawbacks were weight and maybe a long-ish trigger-reset (that still is as short or shorter than either the USP’s, P30’s, and HK45’s), in a more perfect world H&K would release a newly designed P7 variant with a mostly polymer lower and shortened trigger-reset… Guess no one would want a pistol that’d be more reliable than a Glock with a trigger as nice as a sweet 1911 would they…
I don’t really see what that has to do with availability of the P30L.
As for the vaunted P7, I had two M8’s which locked up using Geco ammo. They had to be sent back to HK because no one knew how to fix them and even if they did there was no parts available. So I am not nearly as enamored with the P7 as many seem to be.
