IMM HS-2000
Notes: This
weapon (sometimes known simply as the “HS”) is the standard Croatian sidearm.
It borrows in design from the SiG-Sauer P-226, being a simple design that
can operate in both single and double-action operation.
It features a decocking lever, like many modern pistols.
The HS-2000 has ambidextrous controls and can be easily used by both left
and right-handed firers. Though the
HS-2000 is a single-action weapon, the trigger action lessens the possibility of
accidental discharge by having what IMM calls an “Ultra Safety Assurance”
mechanism. This includes a modified
form of striker firing, a firing pin safety, a cocking indicator, a
chamber-loaded indicator, a trigger safety (the trigger must be pulled
completely back), and a grip safety.
The HS-2000 has no manual safeties whatsoever.
The HS-2000 has a modern polymer frame, with a steel slide. Barrel
lengths of 3 and 5 inches are available. Both Croatian military and police
forces use the HS-2000.
Variants of this
pistol are sold in the US by Springfield as the XD series; however, the XD is
sufficiently different from the HS-2000 to warrant their own entry under US
Pistols.
HS-2000
manufactures a more modern version of the HS-2000, with a manual safety, a
MIL-STD-1913 rail under the dust cover, a thumb safety (which requires training
to engage properly) a squared off and grooved front of the trigger guard, and a
vertically grooved trigger. The magazines are high-capacity magazines.
They are noted below. They
each have a 4.04-inch barrel.

PHP MV-9
Notes: This
Croatian weapon is relatively rare, since production ceased after a short run
and did not pick up again until after the breakup of the former Yugoslavia was
well underway. The weapon is
essentially a version of the Walther P-38; though it looks very different
externally, the breech locking, trigger, and decocking system are the same.
The only real improvement is the high-capacity magazine and the
protection for the barrel.
Manufacture ceased after a short run of less than three years.
Twilight 2000
Notes: In the Twilight 2000 Notes, manufacture did not cease after a short run
of three years.
