News Frash from Europa.

HK just cranked out a P2000 Subcompact. Standing by for more....

Pulled this from HKPRO, from our resident Hungarian, Gunhead.

No word on whether it will cost as much as a P7M8 or if it'll take the same mags as the P2000.

[Schuey2002]

Well you've just found your new BUG, Tactibilly.

One problem. How long is the wait going to be for this thing??!! :( Months? :banghead:

Years?!:banghead: :fire:

[Schuey2002]

Skunk, Gunhead stated...

The pistol is not finished, there is no exact production date..

It's not even finished yet.. So, should we assume that it won't be here until late '03/ early '04 ??!!:(

[Skunkabilly]

I'm hoping my social security won't expire by the time this thing hits the streets... :rolleyes:

[krept]

I thought I read that the plan is for the subcompact to be able to take the larger frame's magazines...

Don't think it would be vice-versa because of the abbreviated grip... makes me think of G26/27 magazines in a G19/23 frame.

[10-Ring]

Patience! It'll be here soon enough Tactibilly :D Besides, you won't be able to buy one until you're out of occupied territory anyway ;)

[tlhelmer]

Can someone tell me what the difference is between the normal H&K's and the P2000?

[spankaveli]

anyone have some pictures of said p2000

Basically it's an overpriced P99 that says HK on it.

But it's purrdy and it says HK on it!! :D

[Schuey2002]

... and it has ambidextrous slide releases.

SouthPaw's Rejoice!!:D

[spankaveli]

ambidextrous slide release, eh?

when's the release date? :D

edit, just read they're still working on it... dern :(

[10-Ring]

The subcompact version might still be on the drawing boards, but I expect to start seeing them in CA by the end of the year.

[spankaveli]

well, i'd prefer the full size version. any release dates on it?

[Schuey2002]

spankaveli, we're waiting for H&K to release them. They have a bunch of them sitting in crates in Virginia. :rolleyes:

OBTW, there is no "set" release date. It keeps changing.;)

[Skunkabilly]

Yeah Spankaveli, you know how it says 'P2000'? Schuey and I have been waiting for 3 years and 3 months now :D

Where the heck is the .308 SLB2000 anyhow??

[Sox]

Skunk, thanks for the heads up. I have been waiting for this for a long time, I really thought they would have done it alot sooner, but alas!

[M1911]

They have a bunch of them sitting in crates in Virginia.So why aren't they selling them? Letting them sit in crates is a complete waste of money.

[fatboyclone]

So why aren't they selling them? Letting them sit in crates is a complete waste of money.

it is rumored that they are waiting for some sort of ATF approval on the magazines. :rolleyes:

most everything with HK takes a long time.

[Schuey2002]

The rumor going around is that the BATF wanted HK to redesign the 10 round magazines. They felt that they could be modified to easily to accept more than 10 rounds ..

Mind you that it's just a rumor. ;)
