HS2000
The HS2000 (Hrvatski Samokres (Croatian Pistol)), or XD (X-treme Duty) are a series of semi-automatic pistol that are polymer-framed and striker-fired. Manufactured in the city of Karlovac, Croatia by HS Produkt (formerly I.M. Metal), the Springfield Armory XD, XDM, or XD-S is the marketing name for the weapon, which is licensed and sold in the United States by Springfield Armory, Inc.
History
The HS2000 traces its roots back to a service pistol known as the PHP (Prvi Hrvatski Pištolj or First Croatian Pistol), which was first produced in Croatia by privately owned industrial parts firm I. M. Metal in 1991. 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 Yugoslav war. 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.

Ps.77
by: ZaoI cried out to God for help. I cried out to God to hear me. When I was
distressed, I sought theLord. At night I stretched out my and, but I cannot
be comforted.
I remembered you God and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew
faint. You kept my eys from closing. I was too troubled to speak. I thought
about the former days the years long ago. I remember my songs in the night.
My heart mused and my spirit inquired.. Will the Lord reflect forever?. Will
He never show his favor again. Has this unfailing love vanished forever. Has
his promise failed for all time. Has God forgotten to be merciful. Has the
anger withheld his compassion. Then I thought, 'To this I will appeal-the
years of the right hand of the Most High. I will remember the deeds of the
Lord. Yes I remember Your deedsof long ago. I will meditate on all Your
works, and consider all Your mighty deeds. Your ways oh God are holy. What
God is so great as our God!'
