What exactly is the law enforcement modification?

It makes you crave donuts:D Actually it has a trigger that does not have to be completely released to reset, allowing you to shoot multiple rounds quicker.

I think it is a much lighter pull on the trigger also. and like HIFLYR said is much faster when you get use to it.

Yea but it doesn't have the law enforcement mod.

cargo pilots can purchase one
HK USP40 Compact LEM pistol, as specially
configured for several government agencies

For those of you that have completed the FFDO training, what kind, or type of belt do you recommend that is good and sturdy for the holster?

I was finally approved and will be attending training in late September.

You answered your own question - "good and sturdy." Just abandon the slim, little dress belts for a heavy leather belt and you'll be fine. I got mine at Target and it's been great for a long time now.

The best belt you can get is a Galco. Get the inch and a quarter dress belt. It will fit your regular dress pants as well as the holster. Don't bother with the "pre-fit" belt. Wear the regular one and it will conform to your waist within a few weeks.

Here is the link to Galco's website, but shop around and get a better price. Just google Galco gun belt and you'll find some "Cop Shops" that will have the belts for a good deal less.

I bought a belt from this site:
Galco Belts - Galco Gun Belts - Galco pistol Belts - FREE UPS

These belts are reinforced and will hold the load of the gun well.

Another issue with this weapon is that it has no safety. Once you load a clip and jack a round into the chamber, there is no way to release the hammer. (By the way for the moderator, the term decock is not ponographic...geez...) Not sure that's part of the LE version, but something to consider if you intend to carry this weapon for personal protection.

Also: The deal is for all airline pilots.... not just FFDO's.

If there is a pilot out there willing to make a quick $100.00 I would like to buy more than one, using your allotment as they only allow one per pilot. I bought mine already, but have the urge to get one or two more.

PM me

(Due to some negative comments.. I have added the following)


(Details) Offer to buy your HK....

Some people can be soooo negative, but a pistol can be sold between private parties with minimal hassle. I strongly recommend you involve a FFL or Local Gun dealership for the transfer.

I will happily provide for your review: a copy of my airline ID, CCW permit, a FLETC graduation certificate, and my FFL information.

If there is someone who does not plan to exercise their HK discount, I would like to buy one or two. $100.00, paid direct to you.
