Happiness is a new gun 2

I bought 3 of the HK45c mag releases long ago, but foolishly left two of them on my first P2K and P2KSK when I traded them. I paid $7 each for them back then. Used the third one on my black 9mm P2K. Now, they're like hen's teeth to find in stock. Ended up buying two of them from a guy on the HK forum, for $55 shipped total. hkparts.net wants $49.95 for one these days, plus tax and shipping. The other gun parts outlets never have them in stock. I'm not sure why HK puts proper, longer releases on all their other guns except for the P2K and P2KSK.
I have looked at the nickel sears springs too. If I convert my black P2K to LEM I'll order one for it, and one to have on hand. Thanks for the reminder on that.

The P2000/P2000SK guns were produced long before the P30/P30SK and HK45c.
The extended mag release was part of the upgrades (like non-proprietary rails) with the newer models.

Seems like HK never enhances the old models, but at least they keep producing most of them.

Yeah, I know they're older than the P30's. I guess HK is all about purity :D

My new pistol arrived Monday at the shop. You know, the day I started a 9 day trip for work. Btw, is cold and wet in London. But at least there’s no snow.

Watch out where you’re walking in London.
Six years ago my wife didn’t…and fell down a short flight of stairs in St. Paul’s Cathedral, breaking her arm & nose, and smashing both legs so she couldn’t walk for two weeks.

Ouch............Looking at the photo, I could just feel that. Thankfully, she made it through that one............................

That's too bad, but also be careful stepping off the curb being sure you're looking the other way for the oncoming traffic!

My first day in London a friend had to yank me back out of the way of the oncoming traffic as I was looking the wrong way, DOH!

What’s crazy is - she and our English friend had just walked up the long staircase to the Whispering Gallery, then down in the Crypt she didn’t see the three steps down while rushing over to gawk at Admiral Nelson’s grave.
That’s where she fell head first on the stone floor.
It was our first full day in London.
We had to cut our one month trip short to 5 days so we could fly home for her surgery on her arm.

Friend rented a wheelchair so I could push her around to a few tourist destinations (she was kinda stoned from the hydrocodone they gave her at the ER) after a day of rest & recovery.

That is truly crappy way to spoil a vacation. I’m hoping nothing like that happens in April when we do 2 weeks in Ireland.
