HK seems to launch on their own schedule.

Like sometimes never. Business wise it would be foolish, since they are selling a lot of VP9s now. When sales start to drop, maybe release time. Same with Glock 42 model.

I buy whole families of guns at once. Until they have a long slide and a compact I can't switch.

Having a VP9c/sk wouldn't hurt VP9 sales with regards to me as the VP9 is too large IMO. Thus, I won't be purchasing one anyway, so no money for HK as a result. Better for HK to sell a VP9c and one less VP9, than sell nothing.

I'm the guy holding off on buying right now. I have a P30L and want a VP9sk. Have no intention of buying anything else in the HK family in the near future as I expect something to come out, be it a VP9sk or P30sk. (Would prefer a vp9sk)

I have no need for another full size gun,I carry compact models daily and only use full size at the range. I will not buy a full size vp9, but a compact model I would by tomorrow if available. Hopefully they drop it soon.

I know people's opinions of a "compact" seem to lean towards subcompact these days, but the VP9 really isn't much bigger than the P229 (a compact) I carry every day.
Here's a couple of comparison pix (along with a SP2022...also apparently considered neither full-sized nor compact): VP9, SP2022, P229 
VP9, P229 
SP2022, VP9 
So as you can see, the generally accepted hardest part to conceal (the grip), is just a hair longer on the VP9 than the P229, and it is all magazine base plate. The magwells are about dead even. The VP9 slide/OAL is a bit longer, maybe 1/4". Does that really preclude it from being carried? Again, I realize people want smaller and smaller these days, but this isn't a huge pistol if you ask me. |

The VP9 isn't a small pistol, but it sure as hell isn't a big pistol either. I've CC'd both my G19 and my VP9, there is no difference between the two under a normal sized polo shirt with a good IWB, and I'm super paranoid about printing. |

I'm not too excited for a compact model. I would be if it was going to be the size of a G19 and still hold 15 rounds, but that's not gonna happen.

I don't want a compact, I want a longer slide version.

That was my comment when it launched, that it was neither fish nor fowl on size. Needs a longer slide for full size, and a shorter slide and grip for compact. |

I'm sure Mecgar can produce a shorter mag and still be 15 rounds if they would. The VP9 mag is the exact same length as a G17s but holds 2 rounds less. Have not taken them apart yet to see the differences.
