Aside from color and demonstrator/skeleton variants, am I missing any of the major models in the 2020 family?

I see you included H-1010. How literal are you about ‘2020’ family? Shakers? 2020 printed on barrel?
The other stainless 2020 model (a bit fatter) and the different H-515 models (esp. the tear drop tip) come to mind as family members.

I doubt that these qualify as major models but I also have these 2020 shakers:
(HFGP-20R-B5 and HFGP-20R-R5)

I included the 1010 because of its similarities with the 2020 black
I don’t have the ST in the above image. I have a couple of the same one you have and I like the look of it better. Still, I think they are different enough that a completist would want both.

The H-515 features ‘The Shaker’ with the retro font, same as H-1010, so I consider them brothers.

Got one on the way!
Thanks
I’d love to get a H-515 one day, but dang they are expensive. Maybe a yard sale find one day lol

I paid a chunk for a NOS one. Maybe $80. And then I got one basically for free in a lot of random stuff. It was a little yucky, but it cleaned up and became a user. I love, love the color options on them. The surprising colors remind me of that neon-green trimmed Sprinter. 80’s attitude.

I’ll need to keep an eye out for that chunky 2020 steel model.

There are also a ton of executive style Pilot shakers. I shudder at the sight of them.

You’ve got the 2020 Slim but not the 2020ST, which is bigger and more closely resembles the two red specimens shown here (even though it’s steel).
And @amjacobs7 just reminded me of the “shark fin” 2020—rubberized barrel with gill-like cutaways in black and gray.
The H-1585 features a 2020 mechanism, too. Pilot also released two (maybe 3?) lacquered executive pieces with 2020 mechanisms (second from left here); they look kinda like the high-end lacquered Switch pieces, but they are MP-only.

Shark Gills has been called the 2020 ‘Gimno type’ because of the similar clip style. But the 88 catalog that Chris shared says it is actually called the 2020 ‘Kaku’. Since Kaku was written in Katakana, it’s anyone’s guess what it really means. When I type ‘kaku’ in Hiragana to get Kanji options, one possibility was the word for ‘corner’ or ‘edge’…

Mostly vintage
Is this one modern?
