It is a nice piece - we need to go to the range and see what it'll do - probably even take the wife to see what she thinks. (For those of you who are wondering at the previous statement - finding a pistol the wife will actually carry is a real bitch - and the P2000 has some ergonomics concessions to fit it to the shooter that might actually interest her.) Like I said - nice piece. And the trigger was surprisingly good out of the box. Makes me wonder how it'll feel when it's broken in. Put the night sights on it and get some good leather while you're at it. Peregrino
Sean:

I was wondering why nobody mentioned the appearance of the mystery pistol.

Among the ergonomics are completely ambidexterous controls and a set of backstraps to fit the user's hand. It has a built in trigger lock which is very unobtrusive, should you need one.

I am dry firing it 100 times per day, the trigger should be broken in pretty quickly. Rumor has it that Santa is bringing more .40S&W plinking ammo, since I burned up my last with the SIG 229.

The Trijicon night sights and Kramer MSP in Horsehide are already on order. Ho ho ho!
