Why are you interested in a .40 S&W, rather than a 9×19mm? The .40 S&W will have more recoil, less capacity, and higher cost; the main advantages of it compared to 9×19mm is that ammo tends to be more available during panics, and it has marginally better improvement for intermediate barrier penetration (though the performance gap can easily be overcome by superior bullet technology, e.g., .40 S&W ball will perform noticeably poorer than a bonded 9×19mm bullet).
Beyond that, why a P2000SK? The P2000 or USP Compact are arguably a better size for CCW, as it is a nice balance between being an NPE gun like the P2000SK, and a full-sized gun like a USP or P30. I personally carry a P30LS AIWB for CCW; I'm 5'8" and ~140 lbs.
The P2000SK in .40 S&W, while perfectly servicable, isn't exactly what I'd consider optimum, particular if you have a bad shoulder. No matter how soft shooting a .40 S&W is, the 9×19mm on the same platform will always be softer shooting, particularly for small guns like the P2000SK.
