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.
G EN ERAL D ES CR I PT I ON
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 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 dovetail changes the point of impact by approximately 3” at 25 yards. (Note:
HS America has available a Combination Sight Pusher tool which makes it easier
to adjust and change sights.)
Elevation: 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.
Remember, a higher rear sight will raise the impact of the bullet; a lower rear
sight will lower the impact of the bullet.
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.

THE INSTRUCTIONS FULLY BEFORE USING IT.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF A BULLET IS LODGED IN THE BORE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT BY USING
ANOTHER CARTRIDGE, OR BY BLOWING IT OUT WITH A BLANK OR A C ARTRIDGE FROM
WHICH THE BULLET HAS BEEN REMOVED. THIS CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE,
DAMAGE THE FIREARM AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
SAFETY DEVICES
The HS 2000 has no traditionally and externally located manual safety lever.
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 pr event 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 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 R TAT I O N A N D S T O R A G E
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

AMMUNITION
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
commercial and military-standard ammunition. Here are some suggestions
that will help you keep your pistol free from ammunition-related problems:
for the safety of others. Know and comply with all laws governing
the transportation of firearms in your locality. When storing your pis-
1. Use only ammunition of the caliber for which your pistol is chambered.
The correct caliber is permanently engraved on your pistol.
tol, 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,
even though the holster or case may appear to be perfectly dry.

3. Always inspect your ammunition before use to be certain all cartridges
are the correct caliber. READ ANY WARNINGS OR INSTRUCTIONS THAT
COME WITH YOUR AMMUNITION.
4. Keep your cartridges free of oil. Wipe the chamber clean of any oil or
preservative before you shoot. Oil in the chamber creates dangerous stresses.
5. Should your pistol experience a failure to fire, follow this procedure:
Always hold the pistol keeping it pointed tow ards 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.
NOTE: Dispose of misfired rounds in accordance with ammunition
manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Use only clean, dry, undamaged new factory-manufactured ammunition.
Always use ammunition that complies with the performance standards established by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc. of
the United States (SAAMI).
WARNING:
“DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN POORLY VENTILATED AREAS, CLEANING FIREARMS, OR
HANDLING AMMUNITION MAY RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO LEAD AND OTHER SUBSTANCES
KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS, REPRODUCTIVE HARM, AND OTHER SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY. HAVE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES. WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY
AFTER EXPOSURE.”

LOADING MAGAZINES
NEVER POINT YOUR PISTOL AT ANYTHING YOU DO NOT INTEND TO SHOOT.
LOADING THE MAGAZINE
1. Press down on the magazine follower with the cartridge case rim.
2. Push the cartridge to the rear and under the magazine lips.
3. Continue until the magazine holds the desired number of cartridges.
4. Number of inserted rounds can be checked through the indicator
holes on the back of the magazine.
I N S P E C T I O N S / R E A S S E M B LY
ALWAYS 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 AND
COULD LEAD TO A CUMULATIVE AND LONG TERM PERMANENT HEARING LOSS.
SAFETY CAUTION: If the trigger safety fails to keep the trigger from moving
rearward, and the pistol dry fires, DO NOT LOAD OR FIRE YOUR HS 2000 PISTOL. Instead, have the pistol inspected and repaired by HS America, LLC or a
HS-certified Armorer.
11. GRIP SAFETY CHECK. Be sure that the pistol is unloaded, and cycle the slide
to reset the safety locked action. With the pistol pointed in a safe direction,
grasp the pistol with out depressing the grip safety. Pull the trigger and trigger
safety to the rear. The pistol should not dry fire.
SAFETY CAUTION: If the grip safety fails to keep the pistol from dry firing,
do not load or fire your HS 2000 pistol. Instead, have the pistol inspected and
repaired by HS America, LLC or a HS-Certified Armorer.
12.TRIGGER RESET TEST. Being sure that the pistol is UNLOADED and pointed
in a safe directions, pull the trigger and hold the trigger to the rear. You
should hear and feel the firing pin fall. Pull the slide to the rear and release it,
allowing it to snap forward. Now release the trigger. The trigger should reset
to its forward position. Repeat several times.
13.MAGAZINE INSPECTION. Inspect all magazines for dirt or visible damage,
taking special care to look for spread or damaged feed lips or broken magazine followers. Press down on the follower with your fingertips and release.
The follower should spring fully upward, and should not stick inside the magazine tube.
14. SLIDE LOCK-OPEN TEST. Insert an EMPTY magazine into your pistol. Pull the
slide fully to the rear. The slide should lock open. Repeat using each of your
EMPTY magazines.
INSPECTION BY CERTIFIED HS ARMORER
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 Armorer, 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 intervals.
To locate a HS-certified Armorer in your area, contact your local HS dealer or HS
America, LLC.
REASSEMBLY
Reassembling the HS pistol is carried out by reversing the disassembly procedure.

6. LOADED CHAMBER INDICATOR. Look across the breech face to inspect
the loaded chamber indicator. Check for cleanliness, spring tension and
damage. The loaded chamber indicator should move up easily with slight
pressure from your finger.
7. EXTRACTOR. Look across the breech face to inspect the extractor for
cleanliness and to be sure the extractor claw is not broken.
8. EJECTOR. The ejector in the rear of the pistol should appear intact (not
broken).
9. SLIDE STOP LEVER TEST. Pull upward on the slide stop lever and release.
The lever should snap down sharply into the frame. If the lever is sluggish
or remains in the upward position, refer the pistol to HS America, LLC or a
HS-certified Armorer.
10. REASSEMBLY AND TRIGGER SAFETY CHECK. Reassemble the pistol. BE
SURE THAT THE PISTOL IS UNLOADED, and cycle the slide to reset the
safety locked action. Depress the grip safety. With the pistol pointed in a
