Unboxing - HK P2000

[@DarkPhoenixTSi]

The LEM doesn't have a single action trigger. It has a light DA trigger, and a heavy DA trigger. With the LEM trigger, the heavy double action would only be available if you needed it to perform a second strike, should the firing not set off the primer. There is no way to decock it to get that heavy pull. The moment you charge the firearm, you are set in the pre-cocked, light double action pull. What you are describing is the variant 3 DA/SA trigger, which has a decocker on the back of the slide.

[@GunBoxTherapy]

You are correct and I stand corrected. I was attempting to explain it while also making sense but didn’t purposefully misinform. It is always technically a DA regardless of if it the first, second, third..etc. trigger pull. I guess the best way to put it is that it mimics the feel of a DA/SA system but incorporates the “safety net” of a DA-only system.

[@AeroTimbo]

@@GunBoxTherapy That’s still not quite right. It mimics the double action trigger travel with a single action pull weight. The only way to have both a double action trigger length and heavy pull weight is when there is a misfire. Under normal circumstances this does not occur. The first trigger pull weight is identical to the subsequent ones.

[@andog6092]

@@GunBoxTherapy not too mention with the lem system the trigger is heavy until you chamber a round, then the striker is pre cocked, thats why you get one heavy and one light trigger pull

I have 2 hk p2000's for a reason. I also have 2 gen 4 glock 23's and 2 gen 3's. I am here to tell you, glocks are great guns and are reliable and i trust my life with them, but all ofy glocks have had their hiccups, some more than others. But my hk's??? Never have failed, have always been more accurate. I could tell you all after numerous glocks and hk's, the HK is withouth a doubt the better gun

[@FM-xr5nj]

My favorite firearm manufacturers!

[@ricardoog3655]

Gosh damn I miss this gun!!! Had to pawn it to pay my rent. I bought it and loved it.

[@mikaelandersson1288]

Never pawn anything... sell your guns on gunbroker.

[@rarsenio1]

LEM IS double action all the time. Once you load the chamber, is the same trigger pull all the time.

[@kevingrizzle1524]

The first trigger pull will not be the long heavy one as you stated.

[@GunBoxTherapy]

Yes, I’ve discussed this with a few other commenters and now I really have a better understanding of how it functions. The long heavy trigger pull will be the “re-strike” so long as the slide is not pulled back/reciprocated. Every trigger pull will be the same distance regardless and the same weight (lighter than the re-strike).

[@The100percy]

I have the same gun except it has night sights. Great carry gun. Never a problem in several years of shooting.

[@JacksonWalter735]

Love the P2000 series. The P2000sk is my every day carry here in the Bay Area and I absolutely loved it. The P2000 isn't as popular as the USP, P30, or the VP9, but it's my favorite HK pistol.

[@GunBoxTherapy]

It is a quality gun. Well anything with the letters HK in it is nothing but quality. I’d equate them to the Rolex of firearms without the price tag increase of going from a Timex to a Rolex.

[@JacksonWalter735]

@@GunBoxTherapy I agree. I also think it's amazing how you go back and comment on all the newer comments even in your older videos. I got one of your older ones in my recommended list and decided to check it out. I binged a few of your videos after that and subscribed not too long afterwards. Keep up the good work man!

[@GunBoxTherapy]

Thanks man! I appreciate you checking out the older videos and I’m glad you enjoy them.

[@suzettespencer]

Agree with everything you said

[@DPham1]

Every day carry...so you actually got a CCW in the bay area?

[@22jeepmojave75]

LEM, once the pistol is locked and loaded the trigger is set on Light firing system

[@nhwnhw02]

I was just gonna mention that myself. No way to get a cartridge in the chamber with out pre-cocking the hammer. The LEM system is awesome. I describe it to myself as a single action always trigger. The initial trigger movement is nothing. Then when the wall is reached, what an awesome trigger pull.

[@chrisragone8785]

Love the P2000. My only annoyance with this pistol is the small gap at the top of the back strap on every P2000 and P2000SK. Every other model HK with replaceable backstraps has a panel that’s flush with the frame.

[@saynotocensorship]

I have the LEM SK with night iron sights. It’s a nice pistol. The LEM takes a little getting used to but once you do, it’s awesome. It’s pretty much good to go out of the box. Really no modding needed. It’s actually one of the few great pistols that’s still on roster here in Ca. Most of the best have been removed because firearm companies are tired of doing business here. So many good Walthers, Sigs and S&W’s aren’t on roster. It’s a damn shame. And they disappear fast when they are on consignment. Yet another reason California has become unlivable 🤦‍♂️

[@Aurelisk]

Since we can only carry 10 rounds here in California, I got the SK and am thinking of getting a 1-round extender to keep the smaller sized pistol.

[@cartelplug8183]

You actually listen to the ten round limit just so you know everyone in Cali walk around with 3o plus in the mags but 10 is better than nothing

[@NunYaBiz1313]

​@@cartelplug818330 plus in the mag? 😅

[@mikaelandersson1288]

The H&K P2000 in 40 S&W is available with 12-round magazines if that is legal in your state.

[@georgemhaylov7252]

Actually you can set it for light pull without racking the slide when dry firing. First pull back the trigger without dropping the hammer. Put your thumb on the hammer and release the trigger. Then push back the hammer till you hear a click and you are set.

[@timeismoneyreviews4819]

Put this on layaway about a month ago. I can't wait to bring her home. Only 2 payments left......$700+ price tho wasn't bad with the accessories added. A holster, 4 mags n Federal HST .40 ammo......I originally thought I paid too much. I had no clue the Msrp on these was once 1k😳. Great video!💪🏿

[@joely225]

Great review. Great camera quality as well. Thanks.

[@Ex-PokerGuy]

I just recently got a P2000SK and I absolutely love the feel and quality of it. It's my first gun and I haven't had the chance to use it at the range yet, but can't wait to though.

[@jporter504]

Carried one for about 10 years. Extremely reliable. Well made handgun but I did not like the trigger. Super long trigger pull every round. I used to kid people and tell them you start the trigger pull on Monday and sometime Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning it would fire.

[@johnnycampana3002]

Thanks for breaking it all down and taking the slide off that was a big help?

[@ST-wy8pj]

I live in California and was considering getting a P2000. I’m curious if the P2000 have the LCI and magazine disconnect for this gun?

Would permanently removing the right side slide lock/release lever be possible while still maintaining proper function of the firearm & is it true that the particular lever rattles in place???

The rational part of my brain realizes that this gun is not loaded, but you’re freaking me out putting your hand in front of the muzzle constantly.

[@hlfpsttomorrow93]

Love the lem on these

[@littlebrownring]

I got this same gun after there was a home invasion killing in my street, in early February, right before the Covid insanity hit. It was a time where you can just walk into a gun shop on the 10th day of your background check and have your pick among a well-stocked inventory of reasonably priced ammunition.

[@GunBoxTherapy]

Those were the days! I’m not sure when we will see them again!

[@wayne6386]

At the earliest 2022.

[@nerychristian]

@@GunBoxTherapy It's starting to get a little better. At least with gun selection. Back in March-July, you would walk into a gun store and see empty display cases, except for a few revolvers and expensive shotguns. Now, when I check online at my gun store, I am seeing more of the popular guns like Glock, XD9, M&P9, more affordable shotguns, etc. It's still hard to find HK guns though. They might get a few every couple months. You are lucky you were able to get a P2000. That would have been my first choice. Ended up having to buy a couple USP's in 45, cuz that was the only thing I could find on Gun broker back then. Anything in 9mm is hard to find for HK.

[@heathenhalflings]

[@rathernotsay8185]

Wow great review for an uncommon gun! Thanks

[@angrychivafan]

Have you had issues with the slide stop? Does it rattle after years of use?

[@sumtingwong2138]

Nice gun, do you prefer the P2000 or USP-S?

[@andog6092]

There is no usp s, but if you are comparing the usp to the p2000, the usp compact or full size is far better. The usp is designed around the 40+p round. Standard ammo in 9mm, 40, or 45 and the gun will run forever, some have gone up to 400,000 rounds. P2000 still reliable, but not well built and not rated for plus p ammo.

[@kerrydavidsadler980]

They are out of my price range but they are some beautiful guns and well made GUNS.

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

I got one in 9mm as we as a USP compact in .40, they're great guns for sure, and you can find good deals in the used market, I got both of them in the used market. Plus Ever since the P30 was released they've become very affordable, some time ago they were around the $600 range new from HK, idk if the deal is till up though, but there still quite affordable now

[@brandongordon123]

I have big hands how does the size compare to a g17?

[@faksen13]

If you convert into 357sig, you only change the barrel?

[@jasonroberts9357]

Correct!

[@jasonroberts9357]

Correct!

[@GGGG-qq8in]

how is the recoil on this in .40?

[@saynotocensorship]

.40 is going to always have more recoil than 9mm. And considering these are subcompacts they are going to have more recoil anyway. So if recoil control is an issue, go with the 9. You won’t be disappointed. This is an exceptional pistol. It is pricey for the LEM version with night iron sights. About $800-$900. But if you want a quality piece that will last you a lifetime, take care of it and it will do the job. 👍

[@pitts3219]

Y the 40 ?

[@contrnsmagnificndjoobngtaint]

is this better than G19

[@Momofatts1]

Love HK but I don't love the prices. The Germans do know how to make quality firearms though.

[@GunBoxTherapy]

They really do!

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

They've become really affordable ever since the P30 came out. And in the used market you can find really good deals, both my P2000 and my USP40C I got in the used market

[@MaikCross]

The V1 trigger is the LEM trigger!!! Sorry but what you explain about your trigger is not 100% right. You find it on KZbin...look for P30 V1 for example.

Ohh I know man. I am pretty sure that I did pin a comment but I was having a conversation with another viewer about what I said in the video and I think I pinned it at the top.
