According to the HK website there are no internal differences. Supposedly the USP series had some different internals for the suppressor-friendly models

The VP9 Tactical has a stronger recoil spring. They put the VP40's spring in the VP9 Tactical.

Per the manual for my VP9T. The recoil assembly is different than the VP9.
I had it out at the range today with a few others. This pistol is just too easy to shoot well. The trigger is very good for a striker fired and it was dead nuts on for accuracy.

So if I already had a aftermarket threaded barrel, all I would need to do is add a VP40 recoil spring and I would have the same thing as a VP9T?

If the VP9Tactical has a stronger recoil spring, where can I get that? Or should I just get a VP40 spring.

Just get a vp40 spring and call it good. I carry my vp9 for work and have over 4000rds through it. I am issued Speer gold dot 124gr+p and federal hst 147gr standard pressure. My agency allows me to pick either and provides me with the ammo.
When I changed out to a vp40 Spring I had a few failures to feed with weak 115gr target ammo (fed champion, wwb, umc) but after about 500 rds no issues. I have never had a failure with the gold dot or hst. Since the tactical has been out I picked one up and changed my other 2 vp9s to the 40 cal spring with great results. With the 9mm recoil spring I would have constant fail to go into battery with my suppressed vp9 with after market barrel and I would have my gun go out of battery even holstering. The vp40 Spring has corrected everything. |

I don't like how it can go out of battery a little too easily. |

Personally I feel that the last 1/2 inch travel in the standard 9mm Spring it way too weak. The spring compressed may be fine though.
This is unsuppressed. Being suppressed increases the problems wth a too light Spring. |
