BACKGROUND DATA
If invention is the result of inspiration, integration is the result of genius. Integration in this sense is the ability to
see and comprehend the best and most useful elements of the many, and then to create from them a whole that
is greater than the sum of the parts. The new polymer framed HS2000 pistol, imported from Croatia by HS
America, Inc. of Knoxville, Tennessee, is an example of just such a synergistic integration. Manufactured to
exacting standards, the HS2000 combines elements of Glock, SIG-Sauer, Walther, and Heckler & Koch designs in
a harmonious balance, the result of which is a finely crafted pistol that possesses a high degree of inherent safety,
is reliable, accurate, and highly ergonomic.
The HS2000 is made by IM Metal of Ozalj, Croatia. IM Metal is an experienced heavy machinery manufacturer.
Since the late 1980's, the firm has produced the standard Croatian military and police pistol, the Hrvatski
Samokres (literally, "Croatian Pistol") or HS. The manufacturing process is of the most modern type, making
ample use of Computer Assisted Design (CAD) and Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) fabrication
equipment. The HS performed very well in Croatian service. Well enough that it began to acquire a following that
extended beyond the borders of Croatia. One of foreign businesses that began to express an interest in the HS
was Intrac, of Knoxville, Tennessee. Early in 1999, Intrac identified a potential market niche for a new self
loading pistol. It was believed that the the US law enforcement market was suffering a lack of a reasonably
priced, well made self-loading pistol that employed all of the most modern safety features, including a manually
operated external safety. An agreement wa reached between IM Metal and Intrac by which IM Metal was to
produce a version of the HS modified to meet the needs of the US market as well as the stringent importation
standards of the Gun Control Act of 1968, and Intrac would import and distribute the gun. The resulting pistol was
the HS2000.
The HS2000 is a striker fired, double action only pistol with a series of redundant safety and indicator systems
designed to enhance the pistol's safety and reliability.
