About This Firearm
The HK P2000 is a polymer-framed .40 S&W built for duty carry, and this one runs HK's LEM trigger in its V2 form. It holds 12 rounds on a 3.66-inch barrel. LEM is HK's Law Enforcement Modification, an enhanced double-action-only system with no manual safety and no decocking lever to work.
Two magazines come in the box. The frame has mounting grooves moulded into it for a light or a laser, and the backstraps are interchangeable. The slide is one piece of machined steel, and slide and frame both carry HK's Hostile Environment blued finish. There is no optic cut and nothing on the gun adjusts beyond the backstrap.
If you're cross-shopping, the HK USP40 Compact holds the same 12 rounds on a 3.58-inch barrel at 6.81 inches overall and 5.0 inches tall, with an MSRP of $1,299 and a manual safety and decocker in place of LEM. The Glock G23 Gen5 holds 13 rounds at 26.67 oz on a longer 4.02-inch barrel with a 5.8 lb pull and three magazines, and Glock holsters and spares are stocked far more widely.

Strengths & Limitations
- The slide is machined from one piece of steel instead of being built up from parts.
- Backstraps are interchangeable, so grip circumference can be set to the hand holding it.
- HK’s Hostile Environment finish covers both the slide and the frame.
- There is no manual safety at all, so carry depends on the LEM pull and a holster that covers the trigger.
- No optic cut, so a dot means a milled slide.
- It weighs more than the longer-barrelled Glock G23 Gen5, which is a lot of mass for a compact.
