I rented an HK2000sk in .40 today to see if I would like to own one. I actually was hoping for the full sized, but they only had the compact.
My first impression was not a good one. The double action trigger is, in my opinion, terrible! Super long, heavy pull that breaks so far to the rear I had to completely rearrange which part of my finger I used to pull it(knuckle) then switch back to the pad for single action. My first shot didn't even make the paper at 21 feet. I don't remember the last time that happened.
Single action wasn't as bad, though still quirky feeling to me. I'm used to Sigs an this was definitely different. After a number of mags, I was getting the hang of it, but not thrilled like I had hoped. To test how much I had adapted after 45 rounds, I sent the last 5 all double action. 4 out of 5 went into the 10 box and the last in the 9 box, so I could certainly learn to shoot it if I had one.
I'm clear that you can't judge the fullness of a pistol in 50 rounds, but you can get a decent impression and a gut like or dislike. What I took away was that I would not buy the sk model, it didn't fit quite right in my hand. I would still like to try the full sized. I think that range has a full sized in 9mm. Not the chambering I'd buy, but at least I'd get to see if the frame worked better for me. I want to like HK pistols, but so far, I haven't found one that "fits like a glove".
