Part 1: • The HK P2000: Still Go...
Part 2: • HK P2000: Three Easies...
Part 3: • The HK P2000: Langdon ...
My husband and I have four variations of the HK P2000. Very solid pistols, great for CCW. Thanks for the video.
I have standard P2000 in 9mm and sometimes use it as my winter time CCW as its easy enough to conceal under a jacket, however a little too big for the summer time wearing a t-shirt and shorts so I carry my Glock 43X instead. I do absolutely love it tho so I am therefore looking to get the SK at some point for my summer time CCW.
What is your favorite variation and why? Also what are the variants? I’m currently in between p2000 vs p2000sk. Going lem 40
@@jgomez3190, I carry a variant 3 chambered in 357 Sig. There are maybe 3 days a year when I carry something else.
I sent mine to Bill Springfield. He reduced the take-up and the reset. I love my P2000. I can't comprehend how this is snappy in 9mm. I have them in 9mm, 40S&W, and I carry one in 357 Sig. My gun eats it and barely moves. This gun is a cupcake! It is small AND soft shooting. It is a perfect carry gun.
I got brainwashed by marketing gimmicks on sizes and ammo counts. After dust settled I realized HK P2000SK LEM was the best subcompact so I’m back to my P2000SK for daily CCW.
I have p2000sk LEM and this is my proud and joy. Even after 20 plus years, still the best subcompact handgun to me.
It’s a classic great well made gun!❤
That "key" is the tool to decompress the hammer spring when removing the backstraps.
Its actually the key for the patented HK Lock-Out Device, located inside the magazine well. Once engaged, it locks the handguns action by blocking any movement of the trigger, hammer, and the slide. It will not fire until unlocked. Page 18 of the manual.
Wow
The Double action acts as a safety which is why it’s so heavy. If you pull it in DA it was no accident. The Single Action is the best trigger on the market.
... The P2k is an awesome gun and is just as robust as the uspc, p30, and every other well tested HK pistol.. I am really loving the FDE color on your P2k👍.... I’ve never seen a factory colored P2k and it looks great!!.. This was a great video and covered a lot of good info.. I would love to pick up one like this but only in LEM... Then put in a GG reduced reset kit that costs like 90bucks, and can install easy and in short time👍... that really does make a good difference in the reset, and is very noticeable 👍.... All my HK hammer fired pistols are lite LEM, and I love that LEM trigger... 😬👍🇺🇸
V2 is a great variation, has no decocker or safety, good for conceal carry with the double action first initial pull, reset is short following after first shot. Also if you have the v2 variation you can install light trigger and shorter reset
The key is for H&K's safety lock inside the the guns grip/mag well.
I sneezed on one of my HK carrying cases and blew all the black finish off of it!😆 Been trying to find a P-2000 SK to handle but they seem pretty rare around here. My 4" VP-9 will be for 'cold weather' carry. The P-2000SK looks like a great warmer weather carry pistol.
That’s what I run currently
IF YOU READ the manual that was supplied with your pistol you may discover some features...
P2000 are great carry pistols. I have a LEM model that I sent to Teufelshund Tactical and had him install GG flat trigger and short reset kit. He did a great job, brought the pull weight down to 5lbs.
Does this work void the HK warranty?
I bought my P2000 used at a gun show so I wasn't expecting any valid warranty. He's a HK certified armorer according to his website so I would think that any warranty would remain valid, but I'd reach out to him to confirm that.@@jasonroberts9357
That's a great pistol ! You can really see the progression of how HK went with their designs in the P2000 . It has a slide that kinda looks like a USP , a mag release of the USP , decocker of a P30 , slide release of a P30 and HK45 , and a grip like the HK45c .
If pistols were alive the P2000 would be the missing link of how the USP evolved into the P series and proving once and for all Charles Darwin's Theory Of Evolution : )
The key is for a internal lock inside the mag well .
The extended magazine release is an easy swap. You only need a pin punch and a knife to keep the spring compressed.
Just get a gray gun trigger kit u could do it ur self in 30 min it going make a big difference
I have one in 357 Sig. I carry it daily. The sides of the grip give grip without eating my skin. I focus my grip on the front and back more than the sides. Mine is standard SA/DA. The recoil is manageable in 40 or 357. The 9mm must be a cupcake.
The trigger on the USPC IS nicer in SA. The reset is shorter and the take-up is shorter. The P2000 is 100% ambidextrous. The USP is not totally ambidextrous.
I sent my P2000 to Bill Springfield for trigger work and it is much better. I've shot the gun thousands of rounds since then and I love this gun.
Had mine for 6 months now. Great gun!
The only thing is my gun came with 2 magazines only. Jealous haha.
Maybe they give you three mags in the 10 round version
This looks almost like my favorite P2000 color in Counter-Strike. P2000 Ivory
Just picked one up here in 2024 at a discontinued clearance sale
What’s the purpose of cocking it and decalking it to holster? This is my first gun in this DA/SA format
I really like mine, a V3, but that DA pull just does not seem to get better for me. At 15 yards with a 12-inch circumference target, the first DA shot will hit somewhere on paper, but I never know where it will be. Every shot after that is consistent with how I shoot any similar sized pistol.
You mean to tell me it comes with a silica pack also!!! What a country!!🤣
I have a p2000 and p2000sk in 9mm v3. both trusted and always by my side
Nice! I have the SK model. Do you feel it's worth it to get the full size P2000? They seem to be pretty close dimensionally.
Excellent review
Do you have a cleaning video for this with contact points to oil?
I could do one, but there's nothing really special about cleaning and oiling the gun. I generally wipe everything as best I can with paper towels. Run a bore snake through the barrel.
Then a SMALL amount if oil where ever seems appropriate. Generally the slide rail in the frame and where the barrel and slide rub together. If you still want, I'll do itm
@@theevenstevenchannel8220 No need then. I found a clean and lubricate video for a P30 that was pretty close. Thanks for the reply and the thorough videos on the P2000. Much appreciated!
Grease is slicker and it won't migrate when you wear it. Don't use a bunch but if you use too much, you won't know it until you shoot it enough to heat it up.
Thanks for the review. Seems cool. I like the position of the decocker, but the V3 DA/SA seemed no where nice as the sigs (SP2022)
I had an SP2022 a while ago and the stock trigger is most certainly better than the stock P2000 trigger.
I have an SP2022 and it’s garbage. Worst handgun out of the 13 that I have.
@@KonaLife why so? What issues have you had?
Very informative
video,
is that green color?
In the first twenty seconds you answered the question asked in the title. What’s the reason to continue listening if we know the answer is yes, it’s still a good gun?
then there’s banging in the background and you don’t know what the lock is for. I’m out...
What is the black thing on the rail?
I often forget to mention it, that's a holster attachment point for a Blackhawk Omnivore holster.
thanks@@theevenstevenchannel8220
what is you re holster pllllllllllllz
I try to mention it when I remember, it's the Blackhawk Omnivore Holster.
@@theevenstevenchannel8220 HK P2000 what is the best or hk usp
I have probably shot an HK USP Compact, but not a lot and not in a while. I think the ergonomics are better and it has a better accessory. I think the P2000 is more practical and thr USP is more 1990s cool nostalgia.
@yasser gym , I own both. The P2000 has adjustable grip size, ambidextrous slide release and decocker. The grip is IWB friendly. The USP Compact has a nicer trigger, aggressive checkering on the front and back, abrasive side panels, one sided control lever (safety & decocker), and one sided slide release. I carry the P2000. My full sized USP40 only gave me issues with steel cased Wolf ammo.
@@Lexicologist1971 thinks
If you read the damned manual you would what everything about what comes with the pistol!

No proper safety check. Not cool. Nevertheless the DA trigger is there as an extra- added precaution (aka “safety”). If you pull the trigger, you mean to “pull the trigger.” You are not supposed to run steel (and aluminum) ammo in the P2000. Read, always read the manual. By the way, the key is for an internal mag well lock. Nice review otherwise.
The magazine release isn’t too small, your hands are too small. 😂
I resemble that remark!
You did a safety check without removing and checking the magazine: not too smart.
