Hello all, just purchased Gen 1 HS2000 (figured out how to tell it was a Gen 1 from this group, thanks)
I paid $200 for the weapon and it came with one SS(I think) clip and the orig box in came in, think I got a great deal, the orig owner I trust said it only had about 300-500 rounds.
I had read somewhere that if the pistol has a "SA" logo on it that it is worth more, this one has a SP stamped inside the slide that can only be seen when the barrel is removed, does this mean anything?
Questions:
- Anyway to tell by the serial when it was made or what # in the production line?
(Actually I just found this myself after I pulled the slide release out. Looks like is was made in Dec of 1999)
- There is also another number(different the the serial) under the same location as where the SP is stamped, any way to ID on this?
- Any updates on the Warranty coverage by Springfield or do you still have to call them and see what answer you get? Is this a hit and miss coverage depending on the mood of the person you spoke with, or is this set in stone?
- I plan on purchasing more mags and believe I have located what I want, and "non-advertising" feedback?
I love the feel of the weapon and might even consider carrying it as my concealed-carry weapon, just need to put a few 100 more rounds in it to see if it has any possibly issues.
I had a Glock 23 for a while, but did not like only 1 physical safety and the 23 was too small for my hangs.
I will be a regular visitor to this group!
Thanks in advance for any feedback and replies to my questions,
