Trigger Guard Hump??

[JD-P30LEM]

HK newbie. P30SK
1. What purpose is the raised part inside trigger guard, other than to irritate my finger?
2. Has anyone seen improvement by gradually removing (sanding) the hump?

Thanks!

I believe it was intended to help prevent the edge of your finger from getting pinched under the tip of the trigger as you pull it. Honestly, I've never found pinching to be an issue but, the irritation from the groove certainly is. You can certainly sand it down to eliminate the groove.

I definitely recommend the mod. I've found it to be a nice improvement that fixes the problem. Sorry I don't have a better picture but, hopefully this gives an idea on how much less interference there is. On this one the sanding is rough. I'd probably recommend working down to a fine grit and polishing that area to remove any remaining discomfort after removing the hump.

Thank you so much. I have experienced trigger pinch on P320 and the FN509.

I wouldn’t expect the curved HK trigger to pinch.

Thanks again….take care!

That gun looks familiar. Good to see you over here!

Thanks. It's an intentional joke. I seem to have the genetic mutation in which the LEM trigger works perfectly for what I like in a defensive gun trigger while being easy to maintain performance with. On another forum filled with highly experienced instructors and shooters, it's been well established that most people don't have the same experience with LEM. It usually seems to require significantly more effort and focus to maintain acceptable performance with for most people. Oh well, more for me!

For me, it’s not that big a jump from striker fired pistols.
Free travel + wall + break = BANG
Reset
Repeat as needed until threat is stopped
Or….
Repeat as needed for full relaxation at the range.

I’ve never experienced trigger-finger pinch on any of my HK models.
