HK P2000

A few weeks ago, I bought a new boom-stick (handgun) to use as my primary carry weapon. I spent a few weeks researching, and after careful consideration I decided on an H&K P2000 in 40 S&W caliber.  Getting to that decision was a journey…

The choice in brand of firearm was fairly easy as I tend to be bias to H&K products, however, the choice in caliber was an issue. I had read about various calibers (9mm, 10mm, 40 S&W, 45ACP, 50AE, etc.) and their stopping power, accuracy, penetration rate, and other factors.  I found there were studies to support nearly every type of ammunition for personal defense, with the exception of 22 short, 25 Auto, and a few other small calibers.  The 40 S&W appeared to be a good fit as it had characteristics that were put it between the 9mm (for capacity) and the 45 ACP (for power).

I decided the best way to make final decisions decide was to rent or purchase a 40 S&W caliber handgun and try it out…
