Below is a copy of my reply in this thread by Big Bore:

The reason I am putting this here is because I wander around on this forum quite a bit. And I had never came across the above thread. Someone just happened to post a link to it on another thread in this subforum.
I have never done so little, or spent so little to make such a drastic difference in a gun. I can't believe how much difference converting my P2000 from V2 to V1 has made. And I must say that adding the HK45c mag release has also made an indescribeable difference in my P2000.
It feels like I have a new gun all over. I urge anyone with a V2 LEM to try this. And as far as the mag release, I cannot imagine why the P2000 does not come this way to begin with. I realize not everyone wants or needs a light trigger. But I am pretty sure everyone needs to be able to release the magazine. Before changing the mag release mine was difficult to use, especially when releasing a full magazine.
I had never been into the HK Reference Library. Which is where this thread is located. I thought I may not be alone. So I figured I would put this here in case I'm not the only one. At this time I would like to thank Big Bore for posting this originally. He has made my P2000 new to me again.

OK. Took me about 5 minutes or less to put the FPBS in. Don't have a scale, but I could tell a definite difference. I would guesstimate it at a little over a pound less. Then I started working on the TRS. I could not come up with a 1/16 punch anywhere. So I ended up using a small allen wrench to push out the axel pin. Which I think actually made it easier. I will get to that in a minute. I got the old out, spent (wasted) about 15 minutes trying to get the new spring back in. Gave up and drove to Advance Auto where I found a pack of assorted mini needle-nose pliers and wire cutters. They were less than $20 for the pack. In the pack was a set of long-nose pliers. I believe it said they were 3 inches long and they are very thin. Once I got back with them, I had the spring set in less than a couple minutes. And I don't even see how anybody can do this without using a vise.
I set the spring with the pliers in my left hand. Used a small screwdriver to push the spring down further with my right hand. When it was down far enough I pushed the allen wrench back in with my palm while I was still holding the spring down with the small screwdriver. Had I actually been using a punch for this part, I am not sure if it would have been short enough for me to be able to use the same hand for both.
If I had to describe the trigger now I would sum it up with "DAMN".
It's unreal how different it is. As far as the lazy return some have talked about, I don't have any in the least. The trigger will follow my finger exactly as I release it. If I allow my finger to slide off the side of the trigger, it will snap back instantly. I don't feel the trigger reset is any bit slower than it was before. There is obviously less resistance on your finger, but the trigger extends as smoothly and quickly as it did before. After reading these past 40-something pages I almost didn't put mine in for that reason. I am SO glad I did.
Between the HK45c mag release and these two spring I spent about $40. That's the best $40 I have ever spent on a firearm.
