Happiness is a new gun 2

[Whiskeyhorse]

Got her home, finally after what seems like my 200th background check. Box labels it as NATO Green. Not nearly as dark as it shows in this picture.
See, in this commie state I can walk in whilst carrying legally and still have to go through another background check and wait for 10 business days to elapse before I can walk out with my new gun, and the gun I'm carrying. Liberal logic at its finest.

Beautiful and great gun doa. Congrats! Life time gun for sure. Too bad it is not actually that dark of a OD Green. I like it. And what a bonus with the DA/SA!

Thanks whiskey. It's dark enough in real life. Definitely M.A.S.H. dark od green

It'll be lifetime if I hold onto it that long. I used to have another P2K in .40S&W that I traded off. And I have another in all black. But using the Large backstraps which is something I never did on the other I like the grip feel much better with these two, so I may just keep them.

I actually went with the XL backstrap on mine.
It looks crazy oversized but feels and points great!

I actually don't like the look of the L or XL but like you I like they way the L feels and the gun points. Took me a long time to warm up to the P30 look for the same reason.

Same, I have a P30 and a P30SK.
But it took a long time to warm up to the first one ...

I like them all in a small...................................

With my first P2K and my P2KSK I opted for the medium backstraps. And both guns' grips just felt too small in my hand. That's why I traded them and went with the P30's that I've had. This time around I decided to get used to the look of the P2K's with the large backstraps. It didn't take very long, and they feel so much better in hand. However you hold them though, they're great guns.

LOL - I did exactly the same thing.
Well, I didn't trade them away.
But, after the P30 experience I switched to the XL on my P2000 and L on my P2000SK guns (have two of each).
The look funny but feel better in the hand

Not sure but I think the M would feel better if they rubberized it like the L and XL. The side panels of the grips offer no slip resistance to speak of. Good looking and great running guns for sure though.

I may convert one of my P2K's over to light LEM when HKParts gets the right hammer back in stock. Or the catch, can't remember for sure which is on back order. Already bought the springs as well as the trigger reset spring pliers. I took my black one apart after I got it to see if I could dye it ODG, but it didn't take. Getting it back together was a challenge, mostly because of that spring. The pliers should help a ton with it. I don't know if I'll like the LEM DAO set up but I've read so much about it over the years that I'd like to give it a try.

All of my HK pistols were bought LEM or converted to LEM.
My twin P2000 and twin P2000SK guns were both converted from V2 to V1 (Light LEM).
I really prefer Light LEM for sure
Not sure if it really makes much of a difference.
But I always upgrade to the nickel-plated flat sear spring when converting LEM guns
They are cheap and a match trigger part ...

Technical Note: that spring is listed for USP/HK45C, but it works perfectly in P series guns as well.
Ask me how I know - LOL!

Also, an extended mag release is a sweet upgrade for the P2000/SK guns.
Back in the day, HK factory HK45c mag releases worked perfectly on my P2000/SK guns.
