Compared to the USP Compact, the P2000 has roughly the same size barrel (93 mm instead of 91 mm) and the same overall length (173 mm), for the same damage, range, and Bulk for each. Loaded weight is 1.91 lb for the P2000, and it holds shots 10+1. The P2000SK has a shorter barrel at 83 mm, which might be enough to justify a slight reduction to damage (maybe 2d pi+ instead of 2d+1 pi+, but that may be overstating the difference).

The Glock 26, at 87 mm barrel, has Dmg 2d+1 pi and the Kahr K40, at 89 mm, has Dmg 2d+1 pi+. Unless the P2000SK drops velocity down to .38 Spl levels, Damage is going to remain Dmg 2d+1 pi+.

The Glock 26, Glock 27 and the P99c are 160-170 mm and all get Bulk -1.

The P2000 series is apparently a bit more readily-customized than the USP (in terms of grips, accessories, etc), so the character is more likely to have a Weapon Bond, but that isn't necessarily the case. It was designed to be a bit more comfortable than the USP series, but even if that was accomplished it's beneath GURPS resolution (but may be a decent reason why the character would have chosen one of those). They can also apparently use the same magazines as the USP Compact, letting them have the same number of shots, but if the P2000SK is Bulk -1, using a USP magazine brings it to Bulk -2.

Thanks. The PC chose the gun because it was the smallest one offered. He's a desk weenie and the character has no plans to ever fire his weapon, except for mandatory qualification.
