if anybody has a story they want to tell on how they got their HK P2000 please post, and tell me what you think of the gun so far.
Well, im new to the forum but have been a gun owner for a while. Favorite gun i have is a HK USP9 great gun fired it indoors outdoors always goes bang. Te only thing is that im not such a big guy and well if you ever want to carry it you will have quite a bit of baggage.
So i was about to buy a p99 cause its a bit smaller but, and dont get me wrong here i love walthers, the construction just didnt seem to be what i wanted. Now, I am not saying that I am a snob when it comes to hand guns, but I do enjoy the mechanical excellence in all things, but the play of the slide, along with the somewhat strange trigger of the QA, which is all i could find, made it a bit of a strecth for me to want it.
So i asked the dealer to let me hold the HK P2000. Great construction, the fit is right on, much better than the walther, and i examined several walther P99s. So i ended up putting a deposit on the P2000 because they didnt have one in 9mm in stock.
To tell you the truth i was dissapointed, i am a big walther fan, my father's P88 is his prized possession, and i already told him i had dibs on it. But the fit on the P99 really dissapointed me. I guess that all the other times i had examined it was more from a fans perspective than that of a person comparing for the best buy.
As a pro i have to say that the grips are great, it fits like a golve in your hand, and points very naturally. You can just tell that you will be able to shoot this gun all day and never get tired. But the sights are a little flat for me, and look a little flimsy, but im also critical of glock sights, and some people seem to love them. Its just that i like to get a package that is good out of the box, not just something ill have to search the aftermarket for.
As for the P2000, wow, great gun, and seems to be a great CCW piece. Although I will have to judge that later on. I think that if i go camping or the like i would still take my USP, but having a package like that in the P2000 with just two rounds less isnt bad at all. By the way, does anybody know if they make higher cap mags for the P2000??
The gun fits really well in my hand, i have medium sized hands with pretty narrow fingers. What i might change though is the fact that the trigger has a lot of travel in SA. more so thatn my USP, and that might take some getting used to. But since i havnt shot it yet i dont know. The more i spend time with HK firearms the more i like them. All excpt for the USP Expert but its mainly because i would like it to be heavier, i feel the thing is too light for its size.
When i get the gun in and fire it ill write some more of how it does, but i know its got great pedigree behind it so im looking forward to it.
thanks
