How much slimmer are these levers verses the stock levers? Never had any issue with what is installed, but always looking to upgrade / enhance / improve..

I’ll take some pictures, measurements, & some weights when they get here.
I should have them within the next few days.

Until pete comes back with his pics/measurements there are a couple pics in this thread from when I got some awhile ago:

Slim slide release levers P2000/SK/HK45/HK45C

For some, or many, this may fall under Why, WTF or That’s pointless..and others; hmmmm, interested....in whichever camp you make your S’mores, I thought I’d throw it out there. I have never had an issue with the regular levers and quite enjoy the big as a boat oar design but have read a few...

They’re cool but by no means necessary, the stock are just fine. That being said, I like them and never returned to the originals once I put them on. YMMV.

I haven’t forgot about the measurements. HK is a little slow with my order this time. I usually receive orders within 2 days.

The levers finally came in.
They are thinner & have a different profile towards the front pin end.
The textured end of the slim lever has 2 serrations instead of the 3 the stock levers have.
The pin on the slim left lever is also shorter than the standard.

Thanks for doing the math. I wonder is there is any extra play when placed inside a fitted holster.

I’ve got a VM2 on order with Milt Sparks. Still have 4-5 months left until I can answer that.
The levers definitely seem to fit the frame of my P2000SK better than the stock ones. The slim right side lever doesn’t have any wobble or rattling going on right now.

No difference in play w/the slims in my experience, VM2 is an exceptional sleeping bag and continues to fit like a glove.

A few pictures of them installed.
