Yes, I know I've been like the damn cheerleader around here for LEM/P2000sk, but after having a sinus infection, then a respitory infection (had mold in my walls) and being unable to shoot for 2 months. Went back to the range and shot my gun like complete crap. I then pick up an USPc in DA/SA, and shoot dead on the spot with it.
Disclaimer: This is only my opinion and my feeling which are based on my crappy skills most likely and the lack of practice. Take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt, and understand that LEM would suit other folk just fine.
Anyways, I've come to the conclusion that if I don't get regular practice with the LEM, it looks like it's very well possible to really suck (like playing basketball). Given that this firearm is my line of defense, I can't take that risk. However, I can pick up almost any DA/SA pistol and shoot on the spot even when I'm not familiar with the firearm.
So I've made up my mind. I'm going to sell my P2000sk, the sk mags, the xgrips, holsters, IWB holster, (but keep my USPc mags), and get the USPc and some holsters (probably go with the Miami Classic II again + an IWB holster). I just need to figure which variant of the USPc in 9mm to get. I'm right handed so I just need the slide release to be for the right hand, and also have DA/SA. Thoughts? (I don't like the P30, and like how USPc has more stuff for it)
The bigger pain in the butt is NYC gun law. I need to put an request for a purchase order, then buy a gun within 60 days, bring the purchase order to NYPD filled out. Then a few weeks later, show the bill of sale to my FFL, remove the gun from my permit, etc. Ugh!
Cliff notes: LEM isn't for me, so selling the P2000sk to go to DA/SA USPc 9mm.
I guess on a good note, once I know the USP inside out, I can build a master FAQ in the future. LOL
