P2000: Holy Smokes...

…what an incredible piece of kit.

Shot one for the first time on Saturday. Astonishing accuracy and ergonomics. Is there anything bad I need to know before I piss away my son’s college fund on a pair of these?

It’s the Indian not the arrow.
The P2000 trigger is just fine, I can easily pull .15 splits with the standard V2 LEM trigger.

That’s what I thought after 6,000 rounds through my G19 this year.

I’m looking for things like customer service, parts availability, magazine issues, etc.

Are you talking about the P30 series?

Okie John

DOH! :jester:

I can’t keep track of all this stuff!! You’re right!!

I deleted my wrong gun comments!

They do make an LEM variant of the P2000…

The P2000 DA/SA variant (V3 IIRC) has the rear decocker.

I have the P2000SK V2 .40S&W LEM, it is my daily CCW and very fine pistol, they are built like tanks. But be warned, these H&K pistols are VERY addictive. :smiley:

mags are spendy like all HKs, customer service is getting better, and parts are hard to get unless you know the right places but again so are most HKs.

p2k is a great gun, very accurate and available in LEM or DA/SA.

the p30’s trigger is crappier than the p2000? Why’s/How’s that?

I would’nt say they’re THAT spendy…For the P-2000, USP compact mags interchange, CDNN usually has them for $35.00. In the last shotgun news I got, their Ad also listed used USP compact mags for $19.00 For the USP’s, P2000, mags really don’t cost that much more than M&P mags…

I carry a P2000 at work and a P2000SK off duty. They are quality pistols.

Not only his college fund, but also spend his inheritance! The P2000 is a very fine weapon; an excellent specimen of German goodness. I have a Variant 2 (LEM trigger) in .40 S&W with Mepro tritium night sights (green on green). The P2000 will accept the USP compact magazines of the same caliber as well.

I have on several occasions (last four years or so) contacted HK for Customer Service support when ordering parts, doing trigger/variant upgrades, etc. In each case, nothing was broken or required repair, but I wanted to have factory upgrades performed. I have been very pleased with the support provided. Very quick turnaround times as well.

I have had very good success–never an issue–when ordering parts from www.hkparts.net (Mr. Adam Webber). A very professional organization. Very quick turnaround times as well, with just about any HK factory part you could want. I have no personal affiliation with hkparts.net; I am just a very satisfied customer.

Enjoy your P2000 (or P2000s)! :dance3:

I use to shoot USP Compacts all the time, one day I got a P2000 and since then, I haven’t touched my USP Compacts. The P2000 is an excellent weapon. I have 14,000 rounds down the pipe with mine and for some reason they keep multiplying in my safe…

Here in Arizona they seem to sell a fair number of P2000 .40 with LEM trigger because thats what Border Patrol uses. I didn’t understand why HK still sold the P2000 with the P30 available but the P2000 is a little better carry size, some prefer the grip, and its a little cheaper then the P30. Mags aren’t that expensive if you look around and are of high quality. It’s just another very well made HK pistol with startling accuracy.

I have a lot of respect for Hk products, but have been away from them for a long time. Can somebody give me a rough idea of the size difference between this pistol and, say, a Glock 19 as a point of reference? Thanks.

I would say the P2000 and the G19/23 are almost identical in size, and I have found that my P2000 will fit in my G23 holsters.

Found a pic I had that shows them side by side:

How does the P2000 size up with the m&p 9mm FS? If anyone has a pic of those 2 side by side please post it up.

Does the the P2000 have good ambidextrious features? I like the m&p because of this reason, but if the P2000 beneficial for us lefties, I may look to pick one up

The P2000 is smaller in length and height than the full size M&P9. Width is more or less the same.

The P2000 is about as ambi as a pistol can come, with full-time ambi slide release/lock and mag release.
