I was decocking my HK45 during rapid fire strings and also beating up my thumb. I called HK and ordered the LEM conversion kit to get the safety/decocker out of the equation and still have a 5.5lb trigger pull.
I went to the range right after I ordered and figured out my grip after talking to an HK lover. No more decocking or bruised thumb. I called and tried to cancel but it was too late. Its now on its way.
Should I sell the conversion or put it in? Is it easy to install. How is the 5.5lb pull compared to the SA trigger pull. Is it a big improvement without the safety lever? I love this gun either way and can't get to a HK with light LEM to try.

Do you know that you can buy a detent for about $15 that disables the decocker and makes the gun a variant 9 (safety on or off, but no decock feture)?

If you go this route you can still fire it with a high thumb grip like a 1911.

HK just told me its not out yet for the HK45. Besides my small hands are short in reaching over the safety resulting in my thumb getting beat up. I realized if I put my strong thumb resting over my support thumb and relaxing just against the side of the safety, all was good in the world. So the detent wouldn't change much. Keep my new found grip or install LEM?

I put the LEM conversion into my 45C but left the safety lever in place (1911 habits die hard). Personally, this is my favorite set up, and I already had converted my USP 45c to the same configuration. I spoke with HK the other day and they told me they were expecting the V9 plates for the 45 and 45C sometime in March....maybe. The USP V9 plates of course will not work.
