My "new" H&K 9mm P2000

[JSTICFRALL]

A few weekends ago, I found out through a friend that the gun show was in town once again. I've been hunting for a bargain on a P30 and was hoping that I might be able to find one at the show. I missed the first two days of the weekend but finally made it in Sunday morning. Of course, and with no surprise at all, there were no deals on any P30's but I did come across a P2000. Since I've been looking for a carry weapon in 9mm, this particular P2000 fit my hand like a glove and was the perfect size for carrying. I really like how the rough texture is only on the front and back straps while the sides are smooth. I read a lot of people saying that the grip on the P30 is pretty rough against the skin so I definitely took that into account.

When I saw the price tag of $599 I asked what was wrong with the gun. The dealer said that it was a duty pistol that had been sent back to H&K to be refurbished and then sold at a cheaper price. With that being said, there wasn't a scratch or mark on it anywhere and it was in immaculate condition. After careful inspection, I decided to purchase it.

I got to put about 150 rounds through it a few days later and it ran like a top! It's equipped with a V3 trigger however what I was shopping for in a P30 was the LEM. After a few magazines I decided that the V3 is great for my needs and am very pleased with my decision.

Here's some pictures I took of it:

Now I know this question has probably been beaten to death, but is the magazine release from the H&K 45C compatible with the P2000? It looks slightly larger than the P2000 and that it might fit. Or if there's any other mag release that'll work that's larger I'd be all about it. Thanks!

Enjoy your P2000. Nice pics and nice holster you made for it.

Thank you!

Congrats and enjoy your P2000. I have a few of them myself and find them to be excellent guns. My 9mm V3 has 13,750 rounds through it and not a single problem.

Yes, the HK45c mag release will fit the P2k. There have been a few people who have done it and posted pictures of them on HKpro.com.

Awesome! Are there any other H&K parts dealers online other than hkparts.net? They're out of stock at the moment.

Congrats on your new P2000. I have a P2000SK that I used to use as my EDC and it is a fantastic weapon. Then I got a P30 and the ergonomics are great. However, the grips will cheese-grater your skin if carried next to the body with no tee shirt underneath. I bought the HK45CT for EDC now as I like the .45ACP round. However, the HK45C has the P2000 grip on it so it is much nicer to carry concealed than the HK45, which has a P30 style grip. Good luck with your new P2000. You got a good one!!

Congrats! My Wife loves her P2000.

Congrats on the new gun and great photography, but your rounds are backwards in the magazine!

Congrats on the new gun and great photography, but your rounds are backwards in the magazine!

I noticed that too.

Congratulations on a fine pistol.

try calling HK directly. HK USA's customer service is bizarrely good as of late.. guess they finally got sick of their "you suck and we hate you" CS reputation

sweet gun, at near-glock prices i'd say you got an awesome deal. last gun show iwas at had a couple USP45's for 600 bucks that looked like they'd just come back from iraq.
