I'm mulling over a move to purchase a new compact pistol, in either DA/SA or LEM. This would be used for carry, as well as competition.
Because of previous purchase decisions, I currently own a VP9 and a P30SK V1. I like both pistols. I currently shoot the VP9 in USPSA, and CCW the P30SK.
My short list of future candidates includes an HK P2000 and the USP Compact. Both are available in DA/SA or LEM, and I'm wondering which to chose.
I have a very specific question about trigger type conversion. Same question for each:
If one buys a DA/SA version, is it generally possible to convert it later to LEM?
So, for example, if I purchased a P2000 in traditional double action, can it be converted to a LEM version by a gunsmith? Same for a USPc.
I'm familiar with the features of both guns (decocker method varies, etc.), so what I am thinking of is what happens if say I buy a TDA version, can I go to LEM if I decide to.
An accurate answer will help either weed out one of these guns for consideration, or confirm both are options.
Appreciate any input on this.
