The '''HS2000''' (''Hrvatski Samokres'', {{Langx|en|Croatian pistol}}) is a series of [[semi-automatic pistol]]s. [[Polymer]]-framed and [[striker-fired]], the series is manufactured by [[HS Produkt]] (formerly I.M. Metal) in [[Karlovac|Karlovac, Croatia]]. In Europe, the pistols are marketed as the HS and XDM series, while in the United States, the pistols are sold as the [[Springfield Armory XD]] and XD-M series, respectively.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.springfield-armory.com/products/ |title=Products |website=springfield-armory.com |access-date=March 20, 2020 |archive-date=May 24, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140524044530/https://www.springfield-armory.com/products/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Other derivative variants sold by [[Springfield Armory, Inc.]], are unique to the American market.

== History ==
{{main|Springfield Armory XD}}
The HS2000 traces its roots back to a service pistol known as the [[PHP pistol|PHP]] (''Prvi Hrvatski Pistolj'', English: first Croatian pistol), which was first produced in [[Croatia]] by privately-owned industrial parts firm I. M. Metal in 1991.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.xd-hs2000.com/hsarms/news/amerhandgun.html |title=American Handgunner article |access-date=2009-03-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090421055631/http://www.xd-hs2000.com/hsarms/news/amerhandgun.html |archive-date=2009-04-21 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Designed by a team led by Marko Vuković, the PHP was considered to be a solid design, but early versions were plagued by quality issues, due in large part to the difficulties of manufacturing during the [[Croatian War of Independence|Yugoslav war]].<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.xd-hs2000.com/hsarms/news/swat_12_00.html| title=A New Polymer-Frame Service Pistol From Croatia| last=Fortier| first=David M.| date=December 2000| publisher=S.W.A.T.| access-date=2008-02-25| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130715200611/http://www.xd-hs2000.com/hsarms/news/swat_12_00.html| archive-date=2013-07-15| url-status=dead}}</ref> Vuković's team continued to tweak and improve the design over the next decade, releasing the HS95 (''Hrvatski Samokres'' or ''Croatian Pistol'') in 1995, and the HS2000 in 1999. At the beginning of 2001, following the success of the HS2000 pistols on the world market, the company changed its name to [[HS Produkt]].<ref>{{cite web| url=https://zagreb.usembassy.gov/odc/hs_produkt.html| title=HS PRODUKT d.o.o.| publisher=Embassy of the United States of America, Zagreb, Croatia| work=zagreb.usembassy.gov| access-date=27 November 2016| archive-date=27 November 2016| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161127152620/https://zagreb.usembassy.gov/odc/hs_produkt.html| url-status=dead}}</ref>

The HS2000 was adopted by the [[Military of Croatia|Croatian military]] and law enforcement as a standard issue sidearm. It was initially exported to the United States market by Intrac and distributed by HSAmerica, who sold the pistol in [[9×19mm Parabellum]] (9mm) as the HS2000.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.xd-hs2000.com/hsarms/news/guntest_5_01.html |title=Gun Tests article |access-date=2009-03-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090711161957/http://www.xd-hs2000.com/hsarms/news/guntest_5_01.html |archive-date=2009-07-11 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 2002, [[Springfield Armory, Inc.]], negotiated licensing rights to the United States market, using XD (eXtreme Duty) branding. In 2013, HS Produkt began (via a wholesale distributor) to offer updated variants, branded as XDM,{{efn|HS Produkt styles the name of these pistols as XDM in Europe, while Springfield Armory Inc. styles them as XD-M in the United States.

== Design ==
[[File:HS 2000 cal. 9x19.JPG|thumb|right|An HS2000 with magazine removed]]
The HS2000 is a [[Recoil operation#Short recoil operation|short recoil]]-operated, locked breech, [[Firing Pin#Striker construction|striker fired]] [[semi-automatic pistol]]. Pistols in the series utilize a polymer frame with steel inserts, mounting rail and trigger-mounted [[Safety (firearms)|safety]]. A cocked striker indicator protrudes from the rear of the slide when the striker is cocked. A [[loaded chamber indicator]] pivots up on top of the slide when a round is in the chamber being both visual and tactile. An ambidextrous magazine release is also standard. Take down of the pistol is through a lever on the left side of the frame that rotates up, allowing the slide to move forward off the frame. This is very similar to the mechanism of take down as seen in pistols manufactured by [[SIG Sauer]]. A trigger pull is necessary during [[field strip]]ping of the HS2000.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bevfitchett.us/hs-2000-9x19mm-parabellum-pistol/field-stripping-the-pistol.html |title=Field Stripping The Pistol |website=bevfitchett.us |date=December 19, 2020 |accessdate=December 29, 2021 |quote=5. Pull the slide (17) slightly to release the slide catch lever (16). Then allow the slide to slowly move forward until the spring tension is released. Pull the trigger to fully unlock the side from the frame.}}</ref>

The factory-standard trigger has a travel of 13&nbsp;mm (0.5&nbsp;in) and is rated at {{convert|25|N|lb-f|1|lk=on|abbr=on}} to {{convert|30|N|lb-f|1|lk=on|abbr=on}}. Most HS2000s have dual captive recoil springs; however, the XDM and Tactical {{convert|5|in|mm|adj=on}} models have non-captive springs. The recoil spring guide rod also acts as a standoff device, as the end of the rod protrudes from under the barrel and keeps the slide [[Out-of-battery|in battery]] when pressed against an object such as someones's chest in contact-distance self-defense situations.  This prevents the slide from being moved back because the device pushes the surface area of objects away from the slide, thus increasing the chance that the gun will function normally.<ref>{{cite journal |title=HS 2000 Owners Manual |journal=Hs 2000 Frame Parts List |volume=19. Captive Dual Tension Recoil Spring with Stand-Off Device |page=4}}</ref>

After heat treatment the metal parts are finished with a proprietary [[nitriding]] process called [[Ferritic nitrocarburizing#Salt bath ferritic nitrocarburizing|Tenifer Plus+]]. This finish is characterized by extreme wear and corrosion resistance; it penetrates the metal, and treated parts have similar properties even below the surface to a certain depth. The Tenifer Plus+ process produces a matte gray-colored, non-glare surface with a 64 [[Rockwell scale|Rockwell C]] hardness rating and a 1,200–1,300&nbsp;N/mm<sup>2</sup> tensile strength. This finish makes the HS2000 particularly suitable for [[concealed carry]], as the highly chloride-resistant finish allows the pistol to better endure the effects of perspiration.

The HS2000 has a [[grip safety]] that will not allow the pistol to fire without depressing a lever on the rear of the grip. This feature is present on some older pistols such as the [[M1911]]. Unlike the 1911, the grip safety on HS2000 series also locks the slide.  The means without a proper grip on the gun to depress the grip safety, the slide cannot be cycled to load or clear the gun. In addition to a [[trigger safety]], a [[drop safety]] prevents the striker from releasing if the gun is dropped or exposed to a significant impact. As of 2008, {{convert|4|in|mm|adj=on}} and {{convert|5|in|mm|adj=on}} XD Service models chambered in .45 ACP were available with an optional ambidextrous frame-mounted thumb safety.

The HS2000 is fed by staggered-column (otherwise known as "double-stack") detachable [[box magazine]]s that are made of polished stainless steel with a polymer basepad. The empty weight of a standard-sized HS2000 box magazine is {{convert|80|g|abbr=on}}.

===XDM===
XDM pistols are polymer-framed with full steel inserts and a mounting rail, with a [[match grade]] barrel and trigger, and an ambidextrous magazine release. These barrels are manufactured to tighter tolerances and custom-fitted for better accuracy and to make the pistol "competition ready".

Featuring an "all terrain" grip pattern, contours in the grip were designed to maximize control. Serrations on the slide were modified for a better grasp. All XDM pistols come with grip and trigger safety mechanisms and a loaded chamber indicator at the top of the gun just behind the barrel. A traditional manual safety is an optional feature. The surface of the metal has undergone a [[Ferritic nitrocarburizing#Salt bath ferritic nitrocarburizing|Melonite]] treatment, a salt bath nitriding process which leaves a hard, corrosion-resistant surface. Disassembling the gun does not require pulling the trigger.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://the-m-factor.com/html/design.html |title=XDM Design |website=the-m-factor.com |publisher=Springfield Armory, Inc. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100608104923/http://the-m-factor.com/html/design.html |archive-date=June 8, 2010 |via=[[Wayback Machine]]}}</ref>

The XDM chambered in .45 ACP is offered in three different models with {{convert|3.8|in|mm|abbr=on}}, {{convert|4.5|in|mm|abbr=on}}, and {{convert|5.25|in|mm|abbr=on}} inch barrels. Each of these models has a 13+1 capacity (13 rounds in the magazine, plus one round in the chamber), while the highest capacity for 9mm models is 19+1. The 3.8-inch model is also available with a compact magazine that holds nine rounds, which reduces grip length by {{convert|1|in|mm}} for a more comfortable concealed carry option.
