Yes and the Glock 19 magazine is about the same size as the "compact" P2000 magazine. HK could make a G19 size VP9 without losing capacity if they really wanted to poke a stick in Gastons eye. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

The VP9 is closer to a G19 slide on a G17 frame. I find it to be a handy pistol overall. I CCW it all the time, but my previous carry gun was a G17. I would like to see HK release a VP9C that uses P2000 Glock 19 mags. This would drop capacity to 13 rounds, but yield a pistol closer in size to the G19. That would be a slick carry gun. FIFY You do know that the G19 is a 15 round magazine, correct? You know, the same number as the VP9 too, right? Yes and the Glock 19 magazine is about the same size as the "compact" P2000 magazine.

That would never happen, Glock has a cult-like following and the fanbois with their emotional attached shrines are very big. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Maybe it has been posted but Nutnfancy just did a vp9 review comparing it with his beloved ppq. He said they almost felt identical to him. I usually can't watch an entire video but this one was pretty good. Worth a watch.

It is the best stock trigger I've ever felt on a production gun. It has repeatedly demonstrated exceptional accuracy, and the ergos are downright perfect. You cannot go wrong. |

Just browsing the 'net and reading about the VP9 it sure has stirred up a lot of damn drama. I should have known anything involving the letters "H" & "K" get people all worked up.
I just hope my VP9 proves to be a solid, reliable carry pistol. It's definitely got big shoes to fill since it will eventually replace a time-proven P228. |

I've been using the slingshot method for years so that was one feature I could do without. I've only put 35 rounds through mine so far, but I hope that will change this weekend. |

Just took a California ccw class a few weeks backs and a vp9 was one of the guns I qualified with. I put 750 rounds through the gun in 2 days with out a single hiccup at all, no slide lock problems, no ftf or fte. I wasn't sure as to the size if it would make a good ccw carry gun or not and had previously bought an 9mm shield, while the shield is a nice gun I have large hands and wasn't nearly as fast or accurate with it as the vp9. I am very happy with this purchase and gun, so much so I went and got another for my wife.

I do have to ask, why is the VP9 so easy to take out of battery? The first quarter inch of slide movement has no resistance at all.

It is just as easy to get other pistols out of battery too.
The derp here is laughable right now, literally grasping at straws to find any reason to hate on a brand. I can find jus as many flaws on "precious" too. No one is making you by it, but please stop being blatantly dishonest. I mean holy geez, I let some member's son try mine and his first words were "Wow, so much hate for a gun and it performs better than theses internet haters care to even admit." You're not stopping them from buying the VP9 so you might as well stop as it's a useless crusade at this point. |

If so, you're so far off base it's not even funny. I've already bought a VP9 and shot it, so there's no hate coming from me. Even though I put less than fifty rounds through it I was very impressed, and I'm looking forward to this weekend to put many more rounds through it. No one made me buy it, and if asking one fucking question makes it "derp" then so be it. It's not "blatantly dishonest" to ask about the slide movement, I had compared it side by side with my 228 and I was just wondering. I wasn't trying to stop anyone from buying the gun. It appears the drama associated with the VP9 has landed on this forum too. Geez. |

I have no love or hate for HK, maybe little hate. VP9 rocks plain and simple. Cost wise it's a little more than a Glock and about the same as a M&P all Apex out. Granted mag prices are
If I had to pick a poly striker gun it would be VP9 or all apex'd M&P. Since I had a M&P before I thought I try the H&K. Might revisit the PPQ with normal mag release. |

I ran 300 rounds through my VP9…200 of it Winchester 124 grain NATO Ball and the other 115 grain White box.
The more I shoot the VP9 the more I learn the trigger and the more astounded I am at how well this pistol stays on target. I don't have a stopwatch to time me, but I would bet dollars to donuts I'm significantly faster to draw and put rounds on target than I am with my G23. I can't wait to get a decent holster and start carrying this thing. |

I bought a VP9 this week. I ran 100 rounds of freedom munitions, 50 rounds of Winchester SXZ, 50 round of blazer brass and 50 rounds of PPU through it tonight. Ran everything fine. I like it a lot.

So far I've put 215 rounds through my VP9. Fifty rounds of Tula, 150 rounds of Federal aluminum cased ammo, and 15 rounds of Speer 147 grain Gold Dot. No malfunctions of any kind, and it has even functioned properly when I loaded an empty case in the mag on three different occasions. Accuracy is excellent also. Couldn't ask for anything more. Well, I need a holster for it.

Any source for threaded barrels other then HKParts? They're out of stock at the moment. Looking for 1/2x28 threads.

Regarding VP9's being easy to take out of battery.......
Striker fired guns have generally 15-20 lbs recoil springs and 4-6 lbs striker springs that are fighting each other when the guns are in battery. |

Did you undercut under the mag release or just in the middle of the trigger guard?

What's a good price to pay for one?
I saw one at a gun show over the weekend for under $600 and I'm starting to regret not buying it.
