Be careful with the term "Law Enforcement Modification (LEM)."

The HK45 owner's manual says:
"The LEM is a series of unique trigger parts created specifically to improve the quality and reduce the weight of the Double-Action Only trigger pull in HK pistols. With these parts installed, the HK45 Pistol can be fired like a standard DAO pistol*..NOTE: An optional 4.5-5.5 pound trigger pull is also available for the HK45 LEM model."
* Meaning: fired like a standard DAO pistol instead of firing like a SA pistol.

This being said, remember that the gun with the LEM is DAO pistol with an 8 lb pull. This is also known as the Variant 7, and has no safety or control lever (aka slide release).

Most of us (including me) are using -- or want to get -- the 4.5 lb trigger, not the DAO option. Said in another way, most of us want the light 4.5 lb trigger designed for LEM but installed in a SA/DA Variant (variants 1 to 4 and 9-10).

Confusing? Yes, but H&K doesn't care. And, the HK45 Variant 1 with the light trigger designed for LEM is a really really nice gun, so deal with it.
