Hi guys,
I think the headline says it all.

I want a P30L for IPSC.
The trigger must be at least min. 5 lbs..
5 lbs., that´s about 2,3 Newton.

I think only this triggers are in the race, correct?

V0: DA 51N, 14mm / CDA 20N, 7mm
V3: DA 51N, 14mm / SA 20N 7mm
V4: CDA 27,5N, 14mm


Which trigger type is the best for IPSC and why?

Help needed.

For production, you want the DA/SA variant. You don't need a safety because you'll always be starting with the hammer down in production. I don't think you need to worry about the trigger being too light

Well, here I thought about this trigger

V4: CDA 27,5N, 14mm

Having heard that the triggers are normally a little bit lighter than been given in the scripts!?

You wouldn´t take the CDA - variant?

Remember, he is talking about IPSC, not USPSA. There is a minimum trigger pull weight that is strictly enforced in IPSC. The HK website doesn't seem to list the trigger pull weight for the P30 LEM, but I know you can get the light LEM down to below the 5 lb minimum. If you want to be safe, the V3 (DA/SA) would be the way to go, as you can't get the pull below 5 lbs, and still have the gun function (ignition). But, I realize that some people don't like the DA/SA, so maybe the regular LEM would be worth lookig at. I believe it is north of 5 lbs.

The LEM system can be tailored to a number of different weights depending on the springs you put in the gun. The V2 LEM with a non-LEM mainspring will yield a trigger that is over 5 pounds.
