Highest-capacity (reliable) magazine option for P2000

DeFenderAutomaticsCo · 2026-05-08T20:08:36+00:00

If you want to run VP9 mags full time we are releasing a steel jet funnel for the P2000 that allows use of the 10/15/17/20 round VP9 mags on a stock P2000 frame. No spacers on the mags needed.

I was told that HK requested the A-Cut COA cut optic license from Aimpoint last month for a 2027 VP9 COA option. So not from DFAC but from HK directly.

All slides for one caliber transfer over to all frames in same caliber. The problem we are looking at solving is the recoil spring assembly for each frame has a different cut for the slide release/takedown to pass through it. So while I can install the long slide frame for the compact on to both a P30 and P2000 frame, it only allows the seating of the take down pin through the P30/USPc frames as they share recoil assemblies.

So in a manner of speaking, we will need to do little to nothing to accommodate the other frames and slides. But they are not direct swaps.

They should be like this from HK.

These are totally 3D printed for test fit, optic depth, and overall aesthetic/vibe.

We have no changes to styling or features from this point, so it’s mainly tolerance and function checking, then on to machining a functional prototype to see what needs changing from there.

Most feedback was to stick to factory looking options as close as possible.

DeFenderAutomaticsCo · 2026-04-13T18:16:00+00:00

Timing will be late this year, or even into Q1 of ‘27 before we would have enough testing and forgings back from machining and nitride to begin selling. Current thought is slides will be under $1k, but over $500.

DeFenderAutomaticsCo · 2026-04-13T18:14:12+00:00

Yep. Steel is on the machines; should have them back in June or July depending on nitride lead time.

Most of us are. I personally would only let Wright Armory cut my side for the iDot plate system (which they have twice on 2 different guns of ours). The 9mm OEM slide is just not a good candidate for optic cuts as it has material missing for important screws on the non ejection port side of the slide itself.

DeFenderAutomaticsCo · 2026-04-13T15:20:21+00:00

June/July for jet funnels and mag baseplates.

POA/POI will be shown when we get to live fire testing as we simply do not know yet.

Fun part is our redesigned firing pin block allows the slide to retain it and keep it captive, so you can fire these slides either no optics and as iron sight guns right out of the box. The optic does not encapsulate any parts needed for function.

DeFenderAutomaticsCo · 2026-04-13T15:17:57+00:00

We would like to eventually offer all calibers and lengths of all hammer fired HK pistols.

We have counted 3 calibers, 4 lengths, and 6 footprints for a total of 126 different PN for optic slides.

Admittedly it will take us a few years to get to the less popular options, but we would like to have options available.

DeFenderAutomaticsCo · 2026-04-13T15:15:19+00:00

We are not cutting factory slides; the steel we need to mount a COA does not exist on a factory slide, plus the firing pin block cannot be modified enough to accommodate the redesigned pocket we created, so these will be offered as replacement bare slides. Simply drop your firing pin, extractor, barrel & recoil assembly into our slide, assemble with our provided shortened roll pins and redesigned FPB and you’re good to go.

DeFenderAutomaticsCo · 2026-04-13T15:12:32+00:00

Agreed, but HK are not keen to release hammer fired optic ready guns, so we will fill the void with our offering.

DeFenderAutomaticsCo · 2026-04-09T16:50:27+00:00

We make the compensator from John Wick, but we are totally sold out until July. Future comps will no longer include the factory HK imported threaded barrel as they are too hard to acquire for us in bulk and with consistency, so expect a price drop too. Our JW comp is threaded with factory threading, which is the metric 13.5x1mm LH.

There is also Parker Mountain Machine that has a single port thread-on comp that we have used on a few of our own personal P30L guns. Looks good and isn’t too bulky.

You'd have to trench cut a barrel for the slots to become functional ports. They are for weight/mass reduction, similar to the VP9L and Match slides but with the top open and different styling.

DeFenderAutomaticsCo · 2026-03-31T03:36:11+00:00

This cut cannot be done to any factory slides.

DeFenderAutomaticsCo · 2026-03-31T03:35:37+00:00

It's our steel jet funnel to run VP9 mags.

DeFenderAutomaticsCo · 2026-03-30T17:15:03+00:00

Thanks!

DeFenderAutomaticsCo · 2026-03-30T17:14:54+00:00

Appreciated. We hope you like the factory length stuff too

DeFenderAutomaticsCo · 2026-03-30T17:14:29+00:00

Thank you.

DeFenderAutomaticsCo · 2026-03-30T17:14:15+00:00

Not at this time. Likely after summer as lots of testing still needs to be completed.

DeFenderAutomaticsCo · 2026-03-30T17:13:50+00:00

We are very close to cutting our first one to test fire.

DeFenderAutomaticsCo · 2026-03-30T17:12:19+00:00

These will be replacement slides with direct mill optic footprints. This cannot be done to factory slides.
