Got it yesterday afternoon... thank you @AL903TX , it is in pristine condition as you described.

Really nice gun but man it has a small grip!!!
So I’m thinking a mag extension so i can get more than 2 fingers on the grip... anyone has any they want to get rid of? Or suggestions on where and what to buy?

I noticed the right slide release has a little bit of play... took it apart and think its supposed to be that way especially after I see the spur that slips into the frame cutout and slides down to its seated position..... Is it supposed to be like that? Not a big deal, just curious. The operation is flawless Using both releases.

The trigger sucks, the reset is almost 1/2 travel and feels longer! Any thoughts on addressing this?

IT is a V3 configuration, what are thoughts regarding Condition 1 carry? Is it safe to carry cocked and locked? I’m coming from a Kimber Ultra Carry and no concerns regarding Condition 1 carry on a 1011 platform, just want to know the safest way to carry this one.

any other thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sorry, I couldnt figure out how to rotate pics.
ETA: Fix the pics!

Nice pickup! I love the P2000SK for what it is, a small easily concealed CCW especially in the hot summer months, it disappears for me. Yup, grip is short as intended but you could always use P2000/USPc mags with an X-Grip if you wanted. A P2000 would have been an option too if a longer grip was desired. It’s not a gun I take to the range and put 300 rounds through a session. No issue with controllability using the SK mags for me just took a bit to get used to. I use the flat floorplate not the little pinky nub ones. The right slide release does have a little play, normal. Can’t comment on the V3 trigger, I have a LEM; but I’d bet you could throw a GrayGuns short reset kit in it. It has no safety, so you can’t carry it cocked and locked and I would not recommend carrying it in SA ever. It’s a nice gun, I think overlooked by many but also understand it’s not for all. It’s my favorite SK with the P30SK 2nd and VP9SK last. Again congrats, sweet sidearm!

Great advise... and thanks for the advise on “cocked and locked”, I would imagine thats why it has a heavy trigger pull.
I was thinking of the GG short trigger reset... will have to look into that!

@ENDER that is very nice! I like the blue mag base.
After I shoot the sk I will probably give it to my wife... problem is, I dont think she can manipulate the slide or drop the slide on a fresh mag. She uses a Glock 19c that a bit of work done to it but with the capacity... she doesnt need to swap a mag... i hope!

I can see myself getting the P2000 full size or just say screw it and carry my USPc Stainless.

Congrats!
The P2000SK is my daily carry, but mine is a V1 LEM with a USPc 13-rd mag.

GrayGuns sent me 3 different SRS Kits to do a tutorial on but I never got the time. It's been almost a year and a half now. Just need to find the time.

Excellent. ;)
GrayGuns called me--- they want their kits back. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

So the Grey Ghost kit came in... I will probably have to send it off to get done... dont know if I want to risk doing it.

I finally built up enough courage to in stall the Grey Ghost SRT in my P2000sk today.

It was a piece of cake... I took my time after watching a couple of videos and reading some of @TooSixy guides in the Resource section here.

I also wanted to install a Match Grade Trigger kit in it as well, but chickened out when I realized most of the springs would not work... including the first one I tried... the hammer spring... yes I was warned... yes you were right And you know who you are! 🤣🤣

Overall everything went as smooth as it could And the gun functions are amazingly improved. The reset improved by about 35 to 40% on the low side And possible closer to 45%, but I’m guesstimating just by feel.
The trigger is way smoother, with a wall that breaks crisp in double action... and is just an amazing improvement in single action.

Now... Do I like it???
Yes and no....
Yes because its a lot better than what it was.. smooth all the way through and has a much better reset.
No... because I still compare it to my Kimber 1911 and STI 2011 triggers, which I know is unfair because its a different type of triggers all the way thru.
I just have to shoot it a lot and get used to it... which I will... worst comes to worst, my wife has a new gun and retires her Glock! :cool:

Regardless... I’m enjoying feeling like a real “Gunsmith” and cant wait for my next project... A HK416 build! I expect the fail to be big on this one, but I will have fun or go broke doing it!!! ;););)

Thanks,

Congrats! way to go. I sure am glad I don't have any 1911's to compare mine to :ROFLMAO:

Thanks Brother! 95% or more of my training was with 1911’s so I’m comfortable with it and fell in love with the trigger!
Its just a matter of stepping out of my comfort zone and get comfortable with a different trigger and a different type of gun that is just as good or even better.
HK’s are amazing and I feel is the better option once the training aspect has been laid down and committed to muscle memory.
Ill get there eventually... just taking baby steps!
