STORE THE FIREARM IN THE PROVIDED CONTAINER IN THIS CONDITION ONLY.C O N G R AT U L AT I O N S You are now the proud owner of one of the world’s finest and most superbly engi- neered firearms. The HS 2000 semiautomatic pistol has been designed and crafted to meet the stringent requirements of law enforcement agencies and the military. Used with the proper ammunition and given reasonable maintenance, it will serve you dependably for many years. To make sure you get the best performance and reliability from your pistol, please read and follow the procedures outlined in this manual. You’ll notice that we place a heavy emphasis on safe firearms handling. Like any other mechanical devices, such as automobiles or power tools, high quality firearms are inherently safe unless they are handled in a careless or irresponsible manner.Always remember that you, the owner, are the ultimate safety device. G E N E R A L D E S C R I P T I O N The HS 2000 safety locked action pistol, with its world class design, combines all the features demanded of the modern handgun of today - and of tomorrow. • Extremely light weight / high strength design • Four redundant safeties • Excellent performance and reliability • Manufactured using the best technology and materials available in the world Manufactured by advanced state-of-the-art production processes, the HS 2000 is a mechanically locked, short recoil operated pistol featuring an automatic firing pin, block / drop safety, grip safety, trigger safety and out of battery safety. Firing takes place with each pull of the trigger until the magazine is empty. The slide stays open after you’ve fired the last shot. The action of the HS 2000 pistol utilizes a tilting bar- rel design in which the barrel and slide are locked together at the moment of firing. After firing, the barrel and slide recoil to the rear a short distance while still locked together.After this initial movement, the barrel tilts downward from its locked posi- tion, permitting full recoil of the slide and the extraction and ejection of the spent cartridge case. The user of this or any auto loading pistol must always remember that when fired, it automatically reloads and recocks itself, so that simply pulling the trig- ger will fire the pistol again. Therefore, an auto loading pistol user must be particu- larly, conscious to always keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction. You should become familiar with your pistol and its operation before using any live ammunition or actual shooting. Study the instructions carefully and make sure you understand the pistol’s operating guidelines. 5A LWAYS INSTRUCT CHILDREN TO RESPECT FIREARMS. IF YOU T E ACH YOUR CHILDREN TO SHOOT, T E AC H THEM TO USE THE PISTOL PROPERLY, AND A LWAYS SUPERVISE THEM CLOSELY, STRESSING SAFETY. I N T R O D U C T I O N PA RT S D I A G R A M

S I G H TA D J U S T M E N T S The HS 2000 Pistols are equipped with a rear sight wh i ch is adjustable for windage only. The rear sight can be drifted laterally in its dovetail on the top of the slide by tapping it with a wooden or nylon drift or similar implement. Move the rear sight in the direction you want the shot to move on the target. The front sight is fixed. Both front and rear sights are provided with white-dot inserts for rapid target acquisition and easy alignment of the sights to obtain a correct sight picture. S I G H T S The HS 2000 pistol is equipped with drift adjustable fixed sights wh i ch h ave proven their worth under severe conditions. The sights consist of a rear sight and a front sight blade, designed and dimensioned to ensure rapid target acquisition and correct sight picture even when visibility is poor. You can adjust the sights as follow s : Windage: Change windage by moving the rear sight either to the left or right in its dovetail. When you do this, follow the rear sight rule: Move the rear sight in the direction you want the group to go. Moving the rear sight 0.020”in the dovetail changes the point of impact by approximately 3” at 25 yards. ( N o t e : H SAmerica has available a Combination Sight Pusher tool which makes it easier to adjust and change sights.) E l eva t i o n :There are different heights available for the rear sight. The sights are numbered according to their height. You can change elevation by changing the rear sight. Each rear sight change will move the impact of the bullet approxi- mately 2” at 25 yards. Re m e m b e r, a higher rear sight will raise the impact of the bullet; a lower re a r sight will lower the impact of the bullet.28NEVER DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR TAKE DRUGS BEFORE OR DURING SHOOTING YOUR VISION ON JUDGEMENT COULD BE SERIOUSLY IMPAIRED MAKING YOUR GUN HANDLING UNSAFESIGHT OPTIONS FRONTSIGHTREARSIGHTNumberHeightNumberHeight no mark 5.60mm G5.80 mm no mark 6.30 mm D6.80 mm6.Y OUSHOULDALWAYSBESURETHATTHEBARRELOFYOURFIREARMISCOM- PLETELYCLEAROFANYOBSTRUCTIONSBEFOREDISCHARGINGYOURFIREARM.

SAFETY DEVICES The HS 2000 has no traditionally and externally located manual safety leve r. Therefore make sure that the trigger is only touched if you intend to fire. 1.GRIP SAFETY, It is located on the upper rear portion of the pistol’s grip. Properly gripping the HS 2000 in your shooting hand will automatically press the grip safety. Once the grip safety is depressed, the sear can dis- engage from the firing pin if the trigger and trigger safety are pulled. Note: While the grip safety is engaged, the entire action of the pistol is locked. 2.TRIGGER SAFETY, It is incorporated into the trigger in the form of a lever, and in the untouched state locks the trigger from moving backward. The trigger can only be pulled if depressed together with the trigger safety. The safety locked action pistol is, therefore, ready for firing at any time once the grip safety is disengaged and the trigger with trigger safety is pulled. 3.FIRING PIN BLOCK/DROP SAFETY,A spring loaded pin projects into the firing pin cut-out, and blocks the movement of the firing pin. This safety is only released when the grip safety is disengaged, the trigger safe- ty is disengaged, and the trigger is pulled back. 4.OUT OF BATTERY SAFETY,A cut out in the slide will only allow the trig- ger bar to disengage the sear from the firing pin only if the side is fully forward and in battery. THE SAFETY DEVICES 1,2,and 3above are designed to prevent the weapon from unintentional discharge. SAFETYDEVICE4is designed to protect the shooter from firing the pistol in an unsafe condition.10BECOME FAMILIAR WITH YOUR PISTOL, UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS FULLY BEFORE USING IT.What you should know about all safety mechanisms: NEVER completelytrust any safety mechanism. Your pistol is equipped with an effective, well designed safety mechanism. NO SAFETY MECHANISM, HOWEVER, IS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROPER GUN HANDLING. Any safety mechanism can break down or malfunction. YOU,AND YOU ALONE, ARE THE ULTIMATE SAFETY MECHANISM. Remember, there is no such thing as a “childproof” safety or one which can completely prevent accidental discharge from careless or irresponsible use. The best safety is proper and applied training in safe gun handling.Firearms work reliably if properly maintained. If there is a malfunction during firing, here’s what to do: 1.Keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction with your finger off the trigger. 2. Remove and secure the magazine. 3.Move the slide rearward and forward to clear any cartridge that may be in the chamber. 4.If you suspect that a bullet is lodged in the bore, field strip(page 18)your pistol and check to see if the barrel is blocked. If there is a bullet lodged in the bore, return the pistol to HSAmerica. See instructions on page 30. Follow the above procedures if: • You notice that a cartridge is difficult to chamber, or •A cartridge does not fire, or • The mechanism fails to extract a fired cartridge case, or • You discover unburned grains of propellant powder spilled in the mechanism, or •A shot sounds or feels weak or abnormal. 27IF A BULLET IS LODGED IN THE BORE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT BY USING A N OTHER CA RTRIDGE, OR BY BLOWING IT OUT WITH A BLANK OR A CA RTRIDGE FROM WHICH THE BULLET HAS BEEN REMOV E D.
