Sterling, VA. (August 24, 2004) Heckler & Koch has been awarded a multi-year contract, with a potential value up to $26.2 million by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It is intended to service all organizational elements/agencies under DHS. This contract ranks as the single largest handgun procurement ever by a U.S. law enforcement agency with a maximum quantity of 65,000 pistols.
The models selected after an exhaustive and punishing battery of testing were the USP Compact LEM, the P2000 and the P2000SK subcompact. Each of the three models was chosen in calibers 9x19mm, .40 S&W, and .357 SIG, and employ HKs innovative LEM trigger system.
The U.S. Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were established as the largest investigative arm in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). ICE unites the functions, resources, and legal authorities of several previously separate border and security organizations into an integrated homeland security agency focused on investigations and enforcement. ICEs mission is to prevent terrorist and criminal acts by targeting the people, money, and materials that support terrorist and criminal networks.
This award confirms a significant commitment by the HK Defense Group to produce the most technically superior firearms in the world, without sacrificing flexibility and individual preference, said Wayne Weber, HK Defense Federal Operations Manager. The exhaustive testing protocol not only included one of the most rigorous battery of reliability, environmental, accuracy, and durability tests a handgun has ever been subjected to, but with the most powerful selection of cartridges within each of the three respective calibers. The HK pistols earned a Superior technical rating after more than three million rounds of ammunition were fired through 690 handguns of 46 different models from five different companies during four months of testing.

I understand different sizes for different uses, but why in the name of Ghod 3 calibers?
What are they gonna use the 9s for, rodent control in airports?
So9
why the extension on the barrel?
hmmm.....I guess this has nothing to do with a heckler and Mayor Koch
Are they publicly traded? What's the ticker symbol?
Flash hider
Quality, consistency, beauty, thy name is H&K.
This is good, but it makes me wonder why the FBI is now issuing Glocks to its agents.
I really liked the P7M8. How does that compare to the P2000 or P2000SK?
The G3 is the worst rifle ever made, bar none.
More likely a compensator.
Agree.......That fence post is taller than some of the troops we've trained.....:o)
amateurs...
Albeit.... I'm a big fan of the P9S in 45ACP.
LOL!!!
