I used to shoot to reset. Which I think works OK with the LEM. However, if you get used to shooting something with a short reset, like a Glock, you may tend to short stroke the LEM on occasion. In conversation with a few well-known shooters, they suggested I shoot to trigger return instead of reset. While that did fix any short stroking issues, the LEM felt like I was just taking a lot of slack out of the trigger each time.
I feel that shooting to trigger returned helped with a lot of different trigger systems. Especially DAO, and in particular revolvers. Even with the Glock, I felt like I had better trigger control, because it was always a constant pull. The LEM was the only one that it felt even more awkward.
With this new style of shooting, it actually makes me want to revisit the DAK at some point should I find the opportunity.
Bucky - thanks for your thoughts, which reinforce what I've learned over time. What initially attracted me to the LEM - and, as a result, the P30SK - was the added room for error provided by the long initial pull and for me, the very visible hammer cocking. It's obvious I'm not a guy who participates in competitive shooting or law enforcement. At the time I owned those guns, I was focused on giving myself an additional layer of protection with that first shot. I must admit that after years of shooting just my VP9SK and M&P 340, I'm curious to shoot a rental LEM somewhere to compare trigger pulls.
