I’m curious about something. I have a Hk45c that “points” perfectly for me. Grip size, angle, planet alignment… whatever it is it’s damn near perfect for my hands. Would the P30 or P2000 be closest to replicating the grip of the 45c? "Attack life, it's going to kill you anyway." Steve McQueen... | ||

P2000 if you like the hk45c grip. They are an updated and slimmer version of the square USP grip. P30 has the new grip with the replaceable side panels and back strap. Feels more like the full size HK45, just smaller. I sold my p30 but still have a VP9 which fits my hand perfectly. I’ve also got a p2000 that I like quite a bit. They are both excellent, just very different. | |||

Thanks for that, I had a hunch it was the P2000 but wanted to hear from someone with personal experience. "Attack life, it's going to kill you anyway." Steve McQueen... | |||

HK45c is what I consider a .45 caliber P2000. Keep in mind though the P2000 will feel smaller in your hand but beyond that they are very similar. P30 feels totally different. "Guns are tools. The only weapon ever created was man." | |||

Another thing to think about, well at least it was for me, with the P2000/sk models with standard hammers, if you have a high grip and big hands, you might get hammer bite. It happened to me with both my P2000 and P2000sk. I bought them both prior to shooting the one I had and wound up selling both because of it. It was a shame because they are such nice guns. I have seen others remove some mass from the hammer or "bob it" but I was leery about doing that. | |||

Not the best images but here are some quick and dirty comparisons for you. My hands/fingers are not very large. I wear a large glove but my hands are probably on the smaller end of that. I put the extended/pinky finger mags in both as that is what will come stock, I normally run flat baseplates. 8 round mag in the .45, 12 round in the .40 (13 in the 9mm's) Hope it helps.

And yes it’s a .40 GASP!!! I am however, through many years of grueling training at the hands of Tibetan monks able to to reign in its fierce recoil and only through the blessings of naked virgins bought and sold by HK’s sorcerers has the gun not blown up on me. Combined with it being DA/SA I might as well have walked out of the 12th century.   "Guns are tools. The only weapon ever created was man." | |||

Thank you for taking the time to do that Cslinger, that helps a lot. Definitely looks like I’d need to use the large back strap on a P2000, no biggie. The 45c is a chunky gal. Kudos to you as well for being a hold out with the .40!"Attack life, it's going to kill you anyway." Steve McQueen... | |||

I am using the stock back straps on both so medium on the P2000 and I think it’s labeled small on the HK45C. It’s the one out of the box, the smaller of the two. The large P2000 back strap is more of a rubber coated material then hard plastic. Feels great just a bit too big for me. "Guns are tools. The only weapon ever created was man." | |||
