THE P2000
The newest addition to the Heckler & Koch handgun line, the P2000 “US”
incorporates features of the successful HK USP Compact pistol with the latest
innovations of HK engineers. A refinement of a design created for several
European police agencies, the P2000 US uses the trigger system introduced in
2001 on the USP Compact “LEM” (Law Enforcement Modification) model.
This unique pre-cock hammer system combines the advantages of a cock striker
component (constant level of trigger pull and short trigger travel from first to
last round fired) with a double action hammer system. The P2000 trigger pull has
been reduced to 7.5 to 8.5 pounds of pressure, compared to 9.5 to 11.5 pounds
found on many conventional double action pistols.
Using such an enhanced trigger system consolidates ease of use and safety into a
convenient, innovative trigger operation—one that prevents unintended firing.
And in case of an ammunition-related failure to fire, all that is needed is an
additional second or third pull of the trigger without the need of first pulling
the slide back to re-cock the P2000. The enhanced LEM trigger system combines
the reliability of a double action revolver trigger with the crisp, precise
trigger of a single action pistol. A set of simple-to-install modular grips
allows the P2000 to be custom-fitted to any shooter’s hand. An ambidextrous
magazine release and dual slide release levers make handling the P2000 natural
and easy for right- and left-handed shooters alike.
New for HK is the addition of industry standard mounting rails to the P2000 US,
allowing the widest variety of lights, laser aimers, and accessories to be added
by sliding them onto the open rail system. The HK P2000 US includes the same
recurved, hook trigger guard found on the USP Compact and uses reliable and
widely available USP Compact magazines.
