Hi,
I picked up these two 9mms last week; HK P2000 V3 and CZ Shadow 2 SAO. Thanks TunnelRat for the helpful convo about the P2000.
HK P2000 V3 (sa/da decocker):
I plan to put the pictured Greyguns short reset trigger kit in and a Wolff 10lbs main hammer spring in the V3 P2000 this weekend. Typical HK, the reset is extremely long. The double action is stiff and stacks at the end. Hopefully this will clean some up. Went in knowing this wasn't a "great" trigger. It's not. But looking forward to see improvement.
The mag release area is a bit sharp and wedged. Still considering the HK45 mag release upgrade. Here, the Walther paddle is just better in that it's rounded and long.
An observation, in person, the older kinda graphics on the grip are far less apparent than any picture I've seen. It's just a trick of the eye. The "P2000" blends into the grip very well.
I have some 17rnd conversion kits ordered for the factory 13rnd mages, 1 17rnd mag, and an xgrip.
Otherwise, the grip did turn out to be perfect size where the P30/VP9 is just slightly too long. I do like the lack of front serration for looks. For me, I like the P2000 better than the P30 I wrote about a bit ago.
Shadow 2 SAO:
Second Shadow 2. I admit not my favorite. I do not like how the grip textured areas are protrusions from grip instead of part of that grip. I think, for my hand, it does make the bottom of my palm arch too far out and leaves the meat of my thumb contacting less of the tang area.
Trigger comes with travel screw.
Trigger also has some vertical texture on it. Huge improvement. I said in my Shadow 2 thread that the first time I picked it up my finger slipped off the smooth narrow trigger in double action.
Looking for wood grips just for fun.
That's it.
