The V7 is my preference for a serious use pistol. It's HK's LEM, Law Enforcement Module. It keeps the hammer cocked internally but the trigger resets all the way forward and the visible part of the 2-part hammer resets forward too. So, looking at it from the outside, it appears to be a somewhat lighter DAO, but it's not since there's a sear that needs to be tripped to release the hammer. Depending upon how you run the trigger, it can be used as a hybrid DAO if you let the trigger all the way forward each time. Or, if you only let the trigger forward to the reset point, it feels similar (to ME) to a Glock trigger if you run the Glock trigger the same way; only to the reset. I run 1911 triggers the same way. And that's how I run my LEM HKs.
If you get a chance to dry fire a LEM HK pistol, you'll see why some people really like the LEM trigger.
I'll be odd man out, but I tried a USPC with a LEM and converted it back to a V1 configuration. I get why some are attracted to it but I just hated it.
Grew up on all sorts of handguns. I can shoot DA revolvers, P-38s, 1911s, Lugers and Glocks...but when you start trying to make a P-38 feel like a Luger, it throws me off bad. The only combo of design features I ever truly loved was the USP because they left the trigger "as is" but combined the controls of a P-38 with that of a 1911.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
