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 engineered 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.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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
32
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 barrel 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 position, 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 trigger will fire the pistol again. Therefore, an auto loading pistol user must be particularly, 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.

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 S America 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 approximately 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.
6. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE SURE THAT THE BARREL OF YOUR FIREARM IS COM-
PLETELY CLEAR OF ANY OBSTRUCTIONS BEFORE DISCHARGING YOUR FIREARM.
If your firearm seems to operate or function in any abnormal manner CEASE FIRING, unload and inspect your firearm for obstructions or mechanical problems. NEVER try to clear a barrel
obstruction by discharging your firearm.
7. ALWAYS USE PROPER CALIBER, HIGH QUALITY NEW PRODUCTION AMMUNI-
TION IN YOUR FIREARM. NEVER use “reloaded” or “re-manufactured”
ammunition. The use of improper ammunition is dangerous and
will void the warranty of your HS pistol.
8. EYE PROTECTION AND EAR PROTECTION SHOULD ALWAYS BE WORN BY YOU
AND ANYONE NEAR YOU WHEN DISCHARGING ANY FIREARM.
9. NEVER USE OR HANDLE A FIREARM WHEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCO-
HOL OR DRUGS. This includes any over the counter or prescribed
drugs that might affect your coordination or judgment. Use of a
firearm under the influence of alcohol or drugs is extremely dangerous and constitutes a serious criminal offense.

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 disengage 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 safety is disengaged, and the trigger is pulled back.
4. OUT OF BATTERY SAFETY, A cut out in the slide will only allow the trigger 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 3 above are designed to
prevent the weapon from unintentional discharge.
SAFETY DEVICE 4 is designed to protect the shooter
from firing the pistol in an unsafe condition.
What you should know about all safety mechanisms:
NEVER completely trust any safety mechanism. Your pistol is
equipped with an effecti ve, 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 whic h
can completely prevent accidental discharge from careless or irresponsible
use. The best safety is proper and applied training in safe gun handling.
IF 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. THIS CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE,
DA M AGE THE FIREARM AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

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 HS America. 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.

T R A N S P O RTATION AND STORA GE
A P P R O V E D A M M U N I T I O N
NEVER TAKE ANYONE’S WORD THAT A GUN IS UNLOADED: CHECK FOR YOURSELF,
WITH FINGERS OFF THE TRIGGER, AND GUN POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
When transporting your pistol, keep it unloaded for your safety and
for the safety of others. Know and comply with all laws governing
the transportation of firearms in your locality. When storing your pistol, keep it separated from ammunition, under lock and key and out
of the reach of children and other inexperienced or unauthorized
persons. Never place or store any firearm in such a manner that it
may be dislodged or dropped. Firearms should always be stored
securely and unloaded, away from children and unauthorized persons.
STORE SECURELY & UNLOADED
Before firing, remove all oil and grease from the bore. Do not keep
the pistol stored in a leather holster or case. leather attracts moisture,
USING THE WRONG AMMUNITION COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE COULD OCCUR.
Your HS 2000 pistol will function effectively and safely with a wide variety of
c o m m e rcial and military-standard ammunition. Here are some suggestions
that will help you keep your pistol free from ammunition-related problems:
1. Use only ammunition of the caliber for wh i ch your pistol is ch a m b e r e d .
The correct caliber is permanently engraved on your pistol.
2. Use only clean, dry, undamaged new factory-manufactured ammunition.
A l ways use ammunition that complies with the performance standards established by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc. of
the United States (SAAMI).
3. A l ways inspect your ammunition before use to be certain all cartridges
are the correct caliber. READ ANY WARNINGS OR INSTRUCTIONS T H AT
COME WITH YOUR A M M U N I T I O N .
4. Keep your cartridges free of oil. Wipe the chamber clean of any oil or
p r e s e r va t ive before you shoot. Oil in the chamber creates dangerous stresses.
even though the holster or case may appear to be perfectly dry.

5. Should your pistol experience a failure to fire, follow this procedure:
A lways hold the pistol keeping it pointed tow a rds the target and wait 30
seconds when pistol fails to fire. If a hangfire (slow ignition) has occurred,
the round will fire within 30 seconds. If the round does not fire, remove the
magazine, eject the round and examine the primer. If the firing pin indent on
primer is light, off center, or non-existent, have your pistol examined by a
competent gunsmith. If the firing pin indent on primer appears normal (in
comparison with similar previously fired round(s) you may assume you have
a faulty round of ammunition, segregate misfired round(s) from other live
ammunition and empty cases, reload and continue firing.
N OT E : Dispose of misfired rounds in accordance with ammunition
m a n u f a c t u re r’s instructions.
WA R N I N G :
“DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN POORLY V E N T I L ATED AREAS, CLEANING FIREARMS, OR
HANDLING AMMUNITION MAY RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO LEAD AND OTHER SUBSTA N C E S
K N OWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS, REPRODUCTIVE HARM, AND OTHER SERIOUS PHYSI-
CAL INJURY. HAVE A D E QUATE V E N T I L ATION AT ALL TIMES. WASH HANDS T H O R O U G H LY
AFTER EXPOSURE.”

A LWAYS WEAR EAR PROTECTION WHEN SHOOTING, ESPECIALLY ON A RANGE.
WITHOUT EAR PROTECTION THE NOISE FROM YOUR PISTOL AND OTHER GUNS CLOSE
TO YOU COULD LEAVE A “RINGING” IN YOUR EARS FOR SOME TIME AFTER FIRING A N D
COULD LEAD TO A CUMULATIVE AND LONG TERM PERMANENT HEARING LOSS.
SAFETY CAU T I O N : If the trigger safety fails to keep the trigger from mov i n g
re a rwa r d , and the pistol dry fire s , D O N OT LOAD OR F I R E YO U R HS 2000 P I STO L . I n s t e a d , h ave the pistol inspected and re p a i red by HS A m e r i ca , L LC or a

INSPECTION BY CERTIFIED HS A R M O R E R
HS pistols carried by law enforcement, security, or military personnel, and other
HS pistols subjected to heavy usage, should be inspected periodically by a HScertified A r m o r e r, or by returning the pistols to HS America, LLC. for inspection.
Although the appropriate inspection intervals will depend on the conditions of
use, a reasonable rule of thumb for law enforcement, security, and military users
is that the pistols should be inspected by a HS-certified Armorer at annual interva l s .
To locate a HS-certified Armorer in your area, contact your local HS dealer or HS
America, LLC.
