I have been out of the HK game a while but have come back and will be using my USP 45c for CCW. I put the LEM in years ago and cant recall the spring weights I used. I need some help so that I can order spare parts etc and understand what springs I might have used.
I know I dont have the square TRS so I am not sure if its the standard or light LEM TRS that I used. For the HS there are 2 that came in the LEM kit but I am not sure which I used. Both the TRS and HS in the gun seem to have some black paint on them that is flaking off a bit. Maybe that will narrow this down.
If you guys can help me out with what the popular combos were I will be able to recall what these springs were. I know you guys had your favorite combos of these parts but I dont remember what they are.
Also for the RS is it easy to change one of those out? I was going to get a spare RS but I remember there being something hard about doing it. The odd thing is the parts diagram shows a spring ring ahead of the retainer but mine doesnt seem to have that. On the LEM diagrams for the same gun it doesnt show this part so maybe its not on all recoil spring assemblies? This gun only has I think 2k rounds in it and wont see a lot of use so I doubt I will be needing spring changes soon but thought I should have them.
What sparked all this was I did a detail cleaning of the slide and a darn FPBS went flying and I spent for ever finding it. I want to have some spares on hand and cant decide what to get. Maybe a list to help me out would be nice. Things like the flat spring etc I am not sure I need but other parts like the cocking piece spring seem to be a wearable item that might be good to have.
Also what is the opinion regarding the extended mag release? I was going to put one of those in to see if it makes the reach a bit easier on my fingers.
Thanks guys.
