I have 5 HK handguns (and a rifle). They are fantastic handguns. No one can legitimately make an argument that they are not well made. Very high quality, durable, accurate, and ultra-reliable. Most are not competition guns, so you can't fairly compare them to striker-fired guns designed for match shooting. They are self-defense guns, with most of them designed specifically for police and military use. Looking into the future, I see several more HK models making there home in my collection.
One thing I noticed when I bought it is that it seems like a more thought out polymer design than the other brands. I feel confident this pistol will be around long after I'm gone.
I OWN the p2000sk FOR 14 YEARS, i will be getting their NEW MICRO 9mm as soon as it is available, i am thinking of getting the P30SK in 9mm just to scratch my itch until the micro is here, even though it will be like a twin to my p2000sk. What Models of HK do you own? Thanks in advance.
@@MARKLINMAN1 I have the HK45 full-size, HK45 compact, P30sk, P30L, USP .40 S&W full-size, and am soon to receive a USP .40 S&W compact. I'm very pleased with the quality, reliability, ergonomics, and accuracy of HK pistols.
As a (soon to be former) resident of the People's Republic of California, I had a choice between the ol reliable G26, M&P Shield, & this weird pistol I never heard of but with quite a price tag & a long ass name to boot: H&K P2000SK V3. Rented the 3 at the range and shot em all. - G26: Easy to shoot, solid little gun, hated the sights, but man I did not like how chonky the gun fit in my hand - M&P Shield: Felt too narrow in hand, liked the sights, but HATED the hinged trigger (wtf were they thinking) - P2000SK: Grip felt like it was custom molded for my hand, solid sights, and while the striker fired pistols were "easier" to shoot my groupings were solid when shooting SA. It was love at first grip. I knew I had to get the P2000SK, price be damned. Picked it up new at BassPro for $100 off the MSRP bc someone fudged the display price so they had to honor it. And now it sits on my desk and nightstand as my go-to, do-all pistol. It was my first pistol and it made me a DA/SA stan and an HK fan when everyone was telling me to "don't think too much, just get a Glock." Oh well, you don't pick the gun, the gun picks you. :) Also: it's aesthetic AF & sometimes I just like to admire it
@@jrengo87You get what you pay for and being that it’s a hammer fired gun but I would get the LEM variant and upgrade to the Grey gun short reset kit and their straight trigger shoe. Also when your reholstering you can thumb the hammer so it won’t fire if something gets in the trigger guard especially when appendix carrying. Besides when it comes to protecting my life or my family I’ll spend the extra coin.
I SOLD BOTH my GLOCKS and bought the HK P2000SK 14 years ago, BEST THING I EVER DID! Has been my EDC since i retired from Law Enforcement, I will DEFINITELY buy the NEW MICRO 9mm they are bringing to the market soon, LOVE LOVE, LOVE HK handguns, BEST guns out there! These things EAT ANY rounds you feed it! zero issues with over 750 rounds thru it. I do noticed yours does NOT have the DE=COCKING MECHANISM in the rear.
@@ResplendentRaider yea for a polymer gun it appears to be designed and put together with more thought and class than other options. I guess I'll become an HK snob lol.
I have carried a Glock 43x and a HK VP9SK and decided to pick up a used P2000SK at my local shop yesterday and start using it as my daily carry pistol. Cool looking pistol and looking forward to taking it to the range today. Great review.
I agree with you 100%. I've had several Glocks, Sigs, Cz's,etc. over a 40 year period and they are all fine semi autos. However, the P2000 sk LEM is my very favorite conceal carry handgun. The LEM trigger is absolutely a great choice for a carry gun. Phenomenal overall quality and great ergos. Plus I prefer a hammer style pistol over a Striker fired one as well. I also upgraded the magazine release. Being a car guy to; Hk's are the Porsche of all semi autos in my opinion. Thanks for sharing
I was issued a HK P 2000 by my agency. Carried it for several years until they changed to a Glock. I hate them both equally. While I carried the HK during those years, my partner fell of his ATV, twice. Fell on his gun side both times and both times he broke the frame with his hips. Take it for what it’s worth.
There are several options that are better than Glock. Glock is a great option for the money, but that’s about it. H&K, FN, Older sig models like the 229, or 226, etc. I love my Glocks, but I own pistols from all the manufacturers I just mentioned, and they run allot better than glocks do. Far more accurate, and smoother by a long shot.
20yr gun collector. I own just about every HK rifle, subgun and handgun since the 80's most passed down to me, come from a gun family ; ). Got 3 P2000sk's in .40, 2 are still NIB. Use a 3rd for a carry gun and use a 9mm barrel and mags for range use.
I carry either a gen 3 Glock 19 or 26. I just dros’d a P2000sk w LEM trigger and will put this on my ccw list. When appendix carrying I will place my thumb on back of the hammer so it won’t go off if something or clothing gets snagged on the trigger. With my Glocks I installed the swiveling back plate that does the same thing.
It’s my favorite handgun (have 9). I got wright armory to mill my slide, have a 508t on there. And use a 17 round p30 mag with an x spacer. Put hk 45c mag release, slim slide releases, changed from DA/SA to 4.1 LEM with short reset kit. 10lb hammer spring (3.5 lb consistent pull). Tlr 7a light.
Very good review. Much appreciated. 👍🏼🤟🏼🙏👏😎 What holster(s) have you tried with this pistol and which might you recommend or not? If you don't mind my asking.
Thank you! I have a iwb kydex holster from muddy river tactical but my favorite is my kusiak leather custom old fashion iwb in medium brown. Kusiak makes excellent leather holsters if you are okay with their wait times 3-4 months.
Didn’t know what H K was until I bought a used P2000 V2 a couple of months ago. First 9 mm gun I have owned. Actually my wife picked it out but I like it too.
@@badmaxx I determined that the only backstrap, an XL, is too big for my hand. I ordered a Large and a medium ones plus 3 extra mags from the HK US site. It will take a couple of weeks to get them.
I have a 4" VP-9 for 'cold weather' carry, the P-2000 SK looks like an ideal choice for the warmer months. Just need to locate one to handle. Not sure about the LEM version though, there's quite a few used ones around for sale.
I think it feels good for people who like "full size" compacts rather than the new little tiny compacts. I'm pretty thin and wear tighter clothes and it seems to conceal for me most times.
My HK P2000sk is my best pistol. Except for my HK P2000. Oh, and my two HK P30sk‘s. Oh, and my HK VP9sk. And oh, I have a HK USP on the way in, so I better hold off judgment until I get that…
I own a P2000sk in 40sw. It’s a nice little gun. A bit snappy firing 180 gr bullets but nicer with the lighter weight rounds. I would like to find a 9mm barrel and mag for it. I also own a VP9 from HK which I also think is a great gun.
Put a Grey Guns short trigger reset kit in it and a match sear….you can thank me later. I run the LEM/Match hybrid in all my USPs. Best HK trigger system.
@@jrengo87the DA first pull is designed that way for more concealed carry safety. If you get used to the pistol, you know that first pull is going to be that way and what you’ll get every pull after. I like the DA like that. It makes me confident it won’t go off and make me a Ken doll 😂🤷♂️. Once I got some rounds down range with it, it just became second nature.

The HKp2000sk has replaced my g19 as a daily driver
When you said to close our eyes, my gun was the CZ PCR, and I’m really wanting the HKP2000SK for CCW
SA only or decocker? Or is that even a choice on the the PCT designed for Czech police ( I think police generally don't carry SA cocked and locked).

Hey brother, is it really just that simple to convert a .40 P2000 to shoot 9mm? Just an HK P2000 9mm barrel and mag?
I'm always like this gun. I doubt it would replace my G43x MOS, but I would love to have one of these in my collection.
I agreed, best subcompact handgun features, designed, built, and reliability.
Great review of an excellent firearm brother. We're going to make you go viral!

Nice. Its definitely a good looking gun. The P2000 fullsize looks like an updates version of the USP9 compact. Kinda want one.

@@jrengo87 Thanks..
OOS HK Parts..
In your target shooting you always count rounds?
Not generally no
Any reason you didn’t check the mag when you chamber checked?
Maybe. Maybe not.
It's even better with the LEM trigger installed. Thank me later.
Can the H&K P2000SK .40 shoot 9mm rounds?
You would need to change out the barrel and magazine. I have not been able to find a barrel, even from HK
I'm just here to spread rumors 😅😂❤
Of course it’s better
Good video. like mine a bunch. Be careful on the squib advice, some bone head will no doubt try it. Just saying
I have shot many different types of handguns and by far HK in DA is the worst. It’s the hardest trigger pull.
If I had to get da/sa I'd just carry sa clocked and locked. I agree the double action pull on those is ridiculous
It's meant to be.
Only if you have the correct trigger variant...and not with the P2000.@@jrengo87
