Heckler & Koch Hostile Environment Finish... Is it used on the 2000SK?

[CharlesAFerg]

I'm curious if their hostile environment finish is incorporated into any of their other weapons after the USP series? I'm considering a P2000SK in .40, and I can't find anything regarding the finish.
Otherwise I'll be purchasing a USP Compact .40 or .45.

I would think the only hostile environment to consider is the
open end of a 40 Gold Dot for short barrels coming at you
pushing that 180 grain bullet somewhere at 1000fps You
are kidding right? Or is this another, any form of being near
any form of lead, will make ya sterile at somewhere around
year 97

Hostile environment finish? Is that like San Francisco during a Brady Campaign march?

A Pelosi rally?

A Chicago Tribune Office Party?
