The VP9 is my first handgun.  I bought it earlier this year, and I love it.  It is easily more accurate than I am, though I've been practicing my shooting form.  I hate to sound like a fanboy or a shill for HK, but it is a brilliantly designed firearm, and I can't say enough good things about it.

Welcome to arfcom. It's okay to say that here as its the HK sub forum in Handguns...but if you say that to the rest of the board, they'll try to lynch you for not having a shrine and praising the G19

The Glock is a 1981 design.  After 34 years, other improved concepts have been made upon their foundation, while for all practical purposes the Glock itself has remained unchanged.  To some eyes, it's a clunky/blocking design.   Others manufacturers have taking the core excellence of what a Glock is, and made better renditions with more features and better aesthetics.  There's really little reason to not purchase a more modernized flavor that the other manufactures are offering, such as the HK, but also the Walther P99, XD, etc.  

To be an ass: if you still are shooting a Glock, IMHO, you might as well drive up in one of these too :

I got mine for $550 from Palmetto State Armory.  Join their mailing list and you'll see it pop up from time to time.



By the time you add steel sights to a Gen4 Glock, you're at VP9 pricing.  The VP9 offers different sizes of lateral grip panels, a feature the Glock doesn't even have.  VP9 is also full ambidextrous all the time, not so with Glock.  And the VP9 doesn't spit brass at the user's face.  So you're getting a bit more gun with the VP9 compared to the Glock.

Glock has HK (and just about everyone) beat in terms of aftermarket accessories though.

Not even close. Glock in 9's cannot do anything the VP9 does and be anywhere cheaper to boot. and your own glock pic treads have proven that.

I swore I'd never sell my Glock 19...then I bought a VP9. Despite this being arfcom heresy, I have no regrets. It is significantly more comfortable, has been more reliable (my 19 would choke on those cheap reloads, my VP9 has handled absolutely everything perfectly since day 1), and has a significantly better trigger. I still love the 19, but I'm afraid the VP9 has replaced it for me.

Just picked up a VP9 local from a guy on the HKPRO board.  I paid 650$, not a killer price but it came with Trijicon HDs and 3 mags.  Just shot it tonight took second place in our local ranges bowling pin shoot.  Really glad I bought it, super nice pistol, great trigger and I love the euro mag release as I own many HKs.  Will add a new family photo soon

Law enforcement agencies care, as they need to issue guns to righties and lefties.

For consumers, lefties probably care too.  Isn't something like 20% of the population left handed?

As an amateur competition shooter, I've had to shoot stages using my support hand.  You come to appreciate ambidextrous controls in that situation.

What do you mean? Appendix? Wouldn't know, I don't carry that way. strong side IWB at the 3:30 to 4:00? Way too easily to conceal provided you have the right IWB holster and a quality belt along the lines of what Wilderness Tactical makes. Can't say on the similarity to the G19, don't like that gun at all, so with that said I never carried one to give a good reference to.

There's not much of a difference between them both in size and carrying it, hardly noticeable.

I've had a First Gen Glock 17 for over 30 years. Let's just say we are very good old friends. I took my first FrontSight 4 day handgun class last weekend (BTW not to be missed!). Two weeks before, as a precaution (ha!) I bought a VP9 as a back-up. It took less than one magazine at the range before the trip, to figure out that the G-17 is now clearly the backup! I'm still getting used to the paddle mag release (stiff spring?), but the VP9 proved very accurate when I did my part, comfortable, and flawless for all 600 rounds, and the several hundred prior. I just love my VP9. What an honest joy to shoot. I paid $575 plus tax, in person at http://grabagun.com/ near DFW airport. Extra mags were $35. The luminous sights are fine, although I'll just have to put Trijicon HD's on it. I'm just starting to play around with a DeadRinger Snake eyes ghost ring on the Glock, so if that works out (eg accuracy wise) maybe I'll go that route. Too soon to tell. The ghost ring sure is nice for my old eyes though.


My only (MINOR) concern is the trigger. I have the "gritty, hang up" take-up you mention above. Plus a little creep and then a little overtravel after the break. Here is what I observe by feel and sight while dry-firing and with a trigger pull gauge: First "stage" of pre-travel, about half of the pre-travel distance, is nice and light and smooth. Then I hit a sort of small "wall" measuring just under 2 pounds. Then after overcoming that little hangup, the second half of the pre-travel distance is again light and smooth, coming up to a crisp wall, then what feels like 1/32" of gritty creep, then the actual break, at about 5 1/4 to 5 1/2 pounds, followed by noticeable but reasonable overtravel. Reset feels a little long, and I always pick it up out at the 2 pound wall not the 5.5 pound wall. At first the reset just felt kind of mushy, until I paid closer attention to what was happening. This entire sequence repeats exactly the same every time. Before the first round I ever fired (heavy fondling ops before the first range trip), and now after about 1,000 rounds so far.


Forgive me if this description sounds too picky, just trying to describe my trigger sequence in as much detail as possible. I'm also a little spoiled by Jewel and Timney triggers in my rifles   (:














This all makes little difference for me for controlled pairs. However a more deliberate slow press to a surprise break for a precision shot, kind of leaves me with what I can only describe as what feels like sort of a three stage trigger pull(?). Kinda sorta. Something akin to improperly staging the trigger in a double-action trigger pull. I hope that makes sense. Feels a little discombobulating at times. Kinda like the run-on sentences in this paragraph.


Having had a quite satisfying experience with my "25 cent DIY trigger job" on my Glock, I thought about attempting same or similar on my VP9.  That is until reviewing the VP9 detail strip (toosixy's excellent detail strip on hkpro.com). I could break it all the way down and put it back together, but I'm uncomfortable with even the lightest dremel polishing on this weapon, since so far it looks like it would be mostly on the sear. Not to mention the intriguing formed trigger bar spring.








I'm still thinking it over, but am mostly considering either shipping it or even taking it to Bill Springfield (triggerwork.net), as he works pull weight, creep, overtravel and reset length. I would be interested in any advice on other options to consider, especially local in the Dallas area.




Downside is, with a little trigger work I'll probably never have an excuse to buy another handgun ever.

FYI that is not the normal feel for the trigger. I suspect the big spring under the trigger bar may be out of place. I'd look at the internals and see if anything is obvious, and if not I'd call HK.

I shot my VP9 on Saturday in it's first local IDPA match.  I had about 150 rounds through it before then and it has about 250 through it now.  It ran like a top and I took 12th place overall out of 52, so I'm not complaining at all.  I really do love this gun more and more each time I shoot it.

I've just picked mine up this week and noticed this. Although it seems to be smoothing out a little. What's the fix? It seems to be an issue with the trigger bar rubbing against the disconnector possibly. Like I said as I kept cycling the pistol and working the trigger and it started to smooth out. I would imagine after a few mags that it would go away.

You mean like this? Because this video proves that it still works wet




MAC's video proved nothing. This has been discussed to death already. He had a lemon, no company is immune to lemons from time to time.

The only consistent about mud tests is that they're inconsistent. If you could find a repeatable and controlled laboratory standard for mud there may be some validity. For you and me keep your dick out of the dirt and clean your gun if it takes a dunk in a dirty hole.

Isolated incident. He was limp wristing it. It was the ammo. It was the mags. Anything but precious is at fault. That's what I'm waiting to hear.

Excellent video by the way, I'll keep it for reference the next time someone tries to drop another nugget.

Had an issue Tuesday with a dead trigger if I was riding the reset.  Turns out I hadn't reassemble my VP9 correctly.  The braided cable spring was not flush inside the frame cut-out and was dislodged from it's recess when I changed magazines.  Not the guns fault at all.  I had taken this gun down to see how it was different and I didn't reassemble it correctly.  Spring was undamaged, thankfully.

tl;dr
Pay attention.  Watch the cable/spring.  The end must be in the hole and the curves fitted into the cut-out in the frame.  I disassembled the pistol and corrected MY error yesterday and the gun is like new again.
