Why I like the LEM as a "street trigger"

[YVK]

So does it change the character of the trigger pull, or just the weight?

Both. Uncycled pull is just like a DA - heavy and uniformal from a get-go vs two-staged light regular pull. But, yes, it does challenge trigger control.

Sure, the LEM is a true consistent trigger pull every time, whereas the DAK provides two different trigger pull weights depending upon what reset you use. For most of our officers, this was a challenge. Remember, most cops aren't shooters.

I for one like the DAK and truthfully hate to see the SIG's go. But on the bright side, every officer except one is buying their issued P229 back.

what caliber are your P229

At one time, HK had an "Individual Officer Purchase Program" of sorts. Like many things that have gone bye-bye since the craziness began, add this to the list. IIRC, my POW ran about $450 The one thing I dislike on the USPc is the proprietary light rail. They fixed that with the later models thankfully.

There is a distributor with an individual officer program for HK handguns. You can buy directly from the distributor (with credentials) and the firearm will be shipped to your FFL. Is it against forum rules to name the distributor ?

Both... to a large degree. Its a TOTALLY different "pull".

Not sure if I'm reading this correctly. My purchase was done thru agency and the gun was delivered to my local FFL at the time. This however was about 7-8 years ago. HK slowly began to modify the program we participated in little by little until they finally cx'd it a couple years back. I know they (HK) have gone through some changes recently too, so whether the program is back in some form I do not know. They were shipped in the standard box with 3 mags total IIRC.

I'd be curious if they resumed the program too.

Has this policy been discontinued?

Please contact your HK representative with questions.

Well....I've been wrong at least ONCE before. It may well be still going, or perhaps restarted. With two kids in college, my gun fund is pretty slim these days, so I don't pay much attention. I'll ask around and see what responses I get.

It was/is a hell of a deal either way. You get a new HK for about the price of a Glock. Can't beat that.

There is list of HK LE distributers on the HK website. I contacted one and they were most helpful.
