Haven't used my P2000sk in 357 sig for carry in about 8 years. I'm thinking new recoil spring and shoot a few boxes of ammo and a few mags of Gold Dots. Pistol was proven reliable before I boxed it up. Any other suggestions? mags were stored unloaded.

Other than refreshing the night sights if you have them I wouldn’t even change the recoil spring unless it was used up when you put it away. I carried a p2000 in 357 sig, then a p2000sk in 357 sig, followed by a p2000sk in 9mm all over the course of a decade. I just had one of my p2000 9mm guns to the range recently and damn if I don’t shoot them really good. It’s a great firearm and a great caliber so good luck with your old friend.

This ^^^^^

Springs don't wear our just sitting there doing nothing.

When you have a machine that worked years ago and kept as stated you should be good to go out of the box.

A few boxes of ammo with the mags you will be using should be enough.

Yup. A box or two just for grins and “just in cases” would suit me.

I finally changed my USP 40 recoil spring at well over 50k. I was inspired by a discussion here a couple of years ago. I put the original back in, and shot 5 mags through it. No failures.

I would not worry about the springs.

"Few boxes of ammo" $$$$

I was at a local gunshop picking up some ammo, and asked for a box of 357 Sig. They handed me a box of 50 FMJ priced at....$69...

Clean, lube and make sure none of the earlier lube hasn’t gummed anything up. Make sure the extractor moves freely on its spring.

Beyond that and a box to get the feel/double check reliability I can’t see doing anything.

clinger above as well as others have good advise... clean and lube...

"few boxes of what ever" seems extravagant to me. I'd give it one box of 20 and call it good.... but then I'm still waiting to purchase a Sig, new or used a lot, that doesn't fire and function perfectly.... must just be me.
