Introduced to the market by H&K in 2001, the P2000 was marketed as a feature rich and compact version of the popular H&K USP series of pistols. Initially, the P2000 was offered in the 9mm caliber, with the .40 caliber and .357 Sig caliber coming out in 2002.
Built on nearly the same frame dimensions as the H&K USP Compact model, here’s where the P2000 is different:
The P2000 comes in 6 different trigger/cocking variations that offer different single action or double action configurations. Originally the P2000 was designed with a DA only trigger called the Law Enforcement Modification (or LEM trigger). This trigger version received some criticism due to it’s long and heavy not being conducive for accuracy, leading H&K to offer P2000 models with alternate trigger variations.
Although marketed for law enforcement and military use worldwide, H&K does not recommend the use of +P ammunition favored by US law enforcement.
Holsters shown below are produced in models to fit the H&K P2000 series of pistols.
