How's this? I added a watermark image for ProfessionalSoldiers to the converter I use on the site I am in the process of building.
http://www.us-mil.com/watermark/resu...2206_p2000.jpg
Everyone can run them through the converter on my site, and get a fairly decent watermarked image for use here. Remember to bookmark it so you can find it easily.
This one was done with settings of: LEFT, TOP, 50%.
After you have uploaded the image,
check the watermarked images page,
click on the 'thumbnail' to get the full size watermarked version to open in a new window,
and copy the url from the new window to use to upload it here through message attachments.
Don't use the image as a link to drive up my bandwidth (thank you),
Do try to remember to delete it after you are done with your project.
Don't mess with other's images if they leave them there a little while.
If you want a new or different watermark for here or a different site, let me know.
I hope this will work as an interim solution for you. I will keep an eye out for a more automatic solution for you.
Enjoy...

TR,
Is it possible to get a P2000 in Variant 1 so that it can be carried cocked and locked, or is the first round always going to be double action?
Thanks.

There is no manual safety, so while you can carry cocked, it would not really be safe.
I miss that as well, but like the SA/DA much better than the LEM. I suppose that you could thumb cock it, should you wish to.
As most shooters will tell you, a good consistent trigger pull is one of the most important factors for mechanical accuracy.

P2000..............?????
I purchased mine about 2 years ago, and still haven't got used to the trigger, so it sits in it's case in the safe! I opted for an H&K USPc in 9mmx19. I would sell the P2000, but no one seems to want it! Another design that has gone overlooked or just another design?

You are surely correct, you don't need that hunk of junk. How much do you want for me to take it off your hands and dispose of it.
PM me.

I find the DA/SA trigger on mine among the best I have tried, but what do I know.

T Too bad I didn't know, I would have HAPPILY taken it off your hands. Her in the PACNW, gun stores have them on backorder because they can't keep them on the shelves for more than 1-2 shifts of the counter.
I, in fact have just returned from the range with my launchers and found the P2K trigger to be both smooth and easily controlled. The recoil was easily handled (shooting 185gr) and was much more comfortable than either my Sig 229 or my S&W 99 (Walther P99). I put 500rds through it, shot 3-4 inches left of center for the first 150-200 rounds, then found my mark, and was well grouped center mass for the remainder.
The ergonomics were perfect for me. Comfortable and non tireing. I will say though that I was hit in the nose by brass twice. Perhaps it has more to do with the size of my snotlocker  .
I am also sold on Kramer holsters-thanks gents for all the input and advice. The IWB #3 is comfortable to the point that I forget it is there and the MSP Paddle hugs nicely as well as haveing a short below the belt profile. The paddle is deep and stiff enough that the belt loop accessory is truly and option and a belt is not entirely necessary to unholster the weapon. I purchased the USPc (.40) for my P2K and it fits as well as my IWB #3, which was purchased (and is stamped) specifically for my P2K.
The workmanship is outstanding. These holsters are not as pretty as Milt Sparks' products, nor are they as flashy as the "Alessi Hand Rubbed" leather line-but they are well made, comfortable to wear and I believe they will be functional long after the luster rubs from the others and the Alessi begins to scuff.
In short-I very mush enjoyed my first session with this HK offering-the Kramer holsters are an excellent pairing for a complete carry package.

Got my new Kramer MSP for the P2000 this week as well.
So far, I love it! Great carry rig.
Now I need a QD flashlight/spare mag rig that matches.

Ummmm..QD???
If you would like, I can check the local gun store where I picked up my gear. All I need are the specifics of what you are looking for.
I paid $77 for my IWB (Horse) and $92 for my MSP (Cow). Both new in package.

After some kind words from Team Sargent and some assistance from Chandler Sniper, I have, as of this morning, moved into the much more contemporary world of Polymer Science.
I am now in possesion of a USPc in .45.
Gentlemen, thank you again for your help in this matter.

I recently ordered a Kramer MSP in horsehide, they said 2-4 weeks delivery. They were even nice enough to give a military discount. I'll report back when I get it, from what everyone else has said about it, I should be more than satisfied.

Eagle,
Just got my Kramer this afternoon, so far it seems like the holster I've been looking for. I had it made for a Glock 22C, and it fits great.

What is it that about the MSP that everybody seems to like? My experience with paddles from other companies was less than satisfactory. Does the MSP ride close to the body? Could it be considered a concealment holster? How secure is the weapon and holster? Thanks in advance
