I have had this pistol over a year, but have fired only 50 rounds thru it. Reason being, the trigger must have a 20+ lbs pull, or more. I bought this pistol based wholly on owner's recommendations I have read on this site and others. The trigger starts with a very stiff pull which gets a lot worse as the trigger passes the halfway point.
I am just about ready to trade the gun but reallly don't want to give up so easily.
I haven't contacted the factory, because of the horror stories I have read about their pricing.

Any similar stories?

I don't have a similar story, just a couple of questions? Is that on every pull? Is this DA or DA/SA?

I shot a P2000 last week and it was a great experience. I have an xd40sc and the HK was much better. In fact, I want the P2000sk in a .40.

Every pull of the trigger, Double action.

A friend of mine has one and he let me shoot it recently. The trigger pull was light. I don't know the exact weight but it was no where near 20 pounds. I would contact HK and see what they say.

It sounds like you have the LEM (Law Enforcement Model) model. LEM pistols are DA and have no safety - the trigger pull is intended to be heavy since that is the only protection from an accidental discharge if the trigger is pulled. It takes a lot of practice to get used to a LEM.

I have the Variant 3 (double action/single action, with decocker button) and could not be happier with it. Like any piece of precision equipment, H&K pistols come in various models intended for various uses. I think you can have the gun converted to the Variant 3 - not positive about this.

The other option would be to trade it for a DA/SA variant. I think the P2000 models are fantastic - if you get the model you need.

I have the p2000 in DAO, the trigger pull is pretty heavy if you're dry firing, but when the slide racks it partially resets the action making the next shot much lighter, might be a mechanical problem, might just be a lousy variant.

I would be interested to know what variant you have.... I played with a V1 at basspro and it was very nice. I have a V2 HK USP 40 Tactical, and it is very smooth.

Actually for about 200 bucks I think HK will convert it so DA/SA or even DA/SA + Thumb Safety (for carrying Cocked and Locked)
