It's normal. Mine does it every single time. Very common thing and not an issue.

That's the HK Auto-Forward feature, speeding up tactical reloads since 1993. VP9 doesn't seem to have it
 . I always hear a lot of folks say not to trust it, but I carried either a USP compact or a P2000 for the better part of 10 years as a duty pistol, and it never, ever failed to properly chamber and go into battery when auto-forwarded. So, completely normal.

So, completely normal.Though my collection pales in comparison to many on here, I've owned several HKs and never had one that auto-forwards. I guess that's the issue, trusting the firearm chambered a round. I guess I will just get used to it! :) |

So, completely normal.VP9 does indeed have it. Requires a forceful insert Just checked my VP9, you're right, it doesn't have that "feature". I actually like that it doesn't. I was thinking of my HK45 that sometimes does that and I personally don't like it as it messes with my routine |

I like the auto forward feature if it's really a feature. Makes for fast reloads.

OP’s definition of behaving badly is much different than mine.

The angle you bold it at slamming the mag in can affect it to a degree

I watched Ken Hackathorn demonstrating it once, he could do it on demand, or not do it, with any of the polymer pistols. Bottom line, I wouldn't depend on it happening every time if you're reloading in a hurry. |
