Frequently Asked Questions about the HS2000
What is the difference between an HS2000 and a Springfield XD?
The HS2000 is the original pistol manufactured by HS Produkt in Croatia. Springfield Armory imported these pistols and rebranded them as the XD (eXtreme Duty) series for the U.S. market. While very similar, early HS2000s might have minor cosmetic or internal differences compared to later XD models, making the HS2000 a unique collector’s item.
Is the HS2000 a good pistol for concealed carry?
The HS2000, being a full-sized or compact pistol depending on the specific variant, can be carried concealed, but its size might be a factor for some individuals. It’s comparable in size to a Glock 19 or Springfield XD Service model. Many find it suitable for open carry or OWB (Outside the Waistband) concealed carry.
What kind of ammunition does the HS2000 (Croatian version of XD9) 9mm use?
This HS2000 is chambered in 9mm Luger (also known as 9x19mm Parabellum). It is designed to reliably feed and fire standard 9mm ammunition. As with any firearm, it’s recommended to use quality, factory-loaded ammunition.
Are parts and magazines for the HS2000 still available?
While not as ubiquitous as parts for current production firearms, many parts for the HS2000 are interchangeable with early Springfield XD models. Magazines designed for the original XD9 should generally work. Sourcing specific HS2000-marked parts might require a bit more searching.
What is the typical lifespan of an HS2000 pistol?
The HS2000 was built to military specifications and is known for its durability. With proper maintenance and care, these pistols are designed to have a very long service life, often exceeding tens of thousands of rounds. They are robust firearms.
