  • Quick look at HK’s P2000 - a fairly uncommon gun that no one seems to talk about. But it’s an important link in the evolution of the legendary USP series to today’s P30 series.
    Thank you so much for watching!!!

    My local gun store had all the HK pistols, including the p2000. I think the p2000 in LEM v2, is better than all of them. Coming out in late 2001, as a USP improvement, it was on the scene only about four years, before the p30 came out. I think it would have been more popular if it had a chance to do so.

    Have a p2000 in both .40 and 9mm. Favorite pistol of all time.

      I think it is the best HK pistol in the HK line. My only complaint is the small little nubs it has for the magazine release. Hard to use.

    The P2000 is the only modern HK pistol I haven’t fired and it’s for the exact reason you mentioned in the video. Can’t ever find one anywhere. Maybe one of these days.

    I picked up my p2000 new in 9mm about three months ago. Truly enjoy shooting it, I did install trijicon hd sights. This will be my cc/edc. Replacing m&p shield 9mm. I really like the da/sa.

    I switched to an HK P2000 as my daily carry, in part to its lineage with the USP. It’s accurate and feels like a natural extension of my hand. First HK was about 2 years ago, not I have 5 different models. It’s addictive.

  • @dmlchannel3262
    @dmlchannel3262 Před rokem +4

    The P2000 is an outstanding pistol. I added GT-5000 grip tape, which I prefer even over Talon grip tape. I also added 17 round magazines with X Grip spacers, converting it to "full capacity" when needed. The magazine paddle should be replaced with the widely available and inexpensive larger version. For some reason, the P2000 never received the praise it deserved, but I bought mine recently (2022) and preferred it over the P30. For CCW I prefer it's heavier tripper pull but that can be addressed with an 11 pound spring.

    • @TheArkansasGunGuy
      @TheArkansasGunGuy  Před rokem +2

      It’s crazy how the P2000 is always overlooked. Eventually I’m going to pick up one for my collection. Thank you for watching!!

      I have the SK and greatly appreciate the simplified manual of arms. No confusing safety, simple out of the way decocker thumb tab next to the hammer. In DA mode carry is intrinsically safer.

      @Korazjian Před 7 měsíci

      Second this, I regret selling my p30 years ago, but i'm glad i came across the p2000 for a good price. I think its a better shooter overall than the p30 with a few tweaks.
      Alot of ppl talk shit about HK but theres definitely something different, kinda magical about them lol

    All the p2000s I've seen have been in the used gun section or at bass pro where I saw one that was new. I bought mine used and have never had any issues with it. I think its a better cc gun than a p30 because its smaller, but its not a uncomfortable sub compact like the p2000/p30 sk model.

  • @DPham1
    @DPham1 Před rokem +5

    I bought a P2000SK as my first pistol. It's also one of the few HK guns I can buy on the California handgun roster (since they took off the USPC...the bastards). It fit my hand like a glove vs. The Glock 26, and the Glock (while a solid shooter) was too chunky for my hand, & too ugly for me to get lol. The P2000SK is peak 90s/early 2000s HK pistol aesthetics. They ruined the look with the P30 by adding those front serrations, imo.
    It's different shooting a DA/SA in a world of striker pistols, but I quite like it. Would definitely get a P2000 to compliment It's subcompact brother but I'd like to try out the DA/SA vs. the LEM version before committing to any one

    P2000 9mm is a great pistol. Mine is a lightened LEM using a few parts from HK parts and the skill of a local gun smith. I like it enough that I am tempted to get another. Never see the P2000 in the store, true, only P30 and VP9. The p30 and 45c are also fantastic.
