I had just recently acquired an HK USP Compact 9x19mm and was just asking for more information on the hand gun. It doesn't have the decocker/safety and was wondering if i have a V7 or an LEM??

Quick answer. It could be a LEM or a DAO, depending on the date code.

 

[Pbnjlus]

whats the difference? date code is on the serial?

 

[TooSixy]

Older V7 is DAO and newer is LEM. HK got rid of DAO years ago.

Look for a 2-letter code to the left of the serial (but not the DE one). It starts with either a K, A, or B.

Pbn, HK pistols use a two letter date code to identify the year of manufacture.

A – 0
B – 1
C – 2
D – 3
E – 4
F – 5
G – 6
H – 7
I – 8
K – 9 (J is only used in magazine date codes)

is it possible to convert to v1 from v7/lem?

 

[TooSixy]

Yes, but parts won't be cheap. You might want to use the Search feature on the upper right corner of the page to your advantage.
