I walked into my trusty local gunstore with every intention of buying a VP9 LE today.
As my guy pulled one out on the counter, I asked, "Do you happen to have an SK LE already?" Says he, "As a matter of fact..."
Folks, I was torn. I try to share my handgun purchasing love amongst multiple manufacturers. The last HK pistol I bought was a USP 45 Compact around '95 and it soured me on HK's take on SA/SA hammered pistols. I just couldn't warm to it.
Love my PSP, but I never carry it. The VP9, in all it's striker fired glory, seemed to be a good modern rendition of that P7 HK goodness when it was released. I handled one in '14 and was terribly impressed with the trigger. Loved the way it fit my hand. Somehow there was always another pistol I wanted a little more, though.
For whatever reason (ahem, this forum), I recently started looking at picking one up. In the middle of getting "new pistol" excited though, the SK was released. I may have spent a few nights enjoying some youtube reviews of the newer gun.
So back to the gunstore...He did indeed have a VP9SK LE. Night sights. Two mags with finger extensions and one with a flat baseplate. No discoloration of any plates, by the way. I checked. I've never sat at a gunstore counter longer finger banging two different guns. I simply couldn't decide. I worked at a large gunstore in college. I had suddenly become the customer I pitied most. Humiliating.
Don't think "get both" wasn't written in neon letters across my subconscious.
Fortunately, common sense prevailed. My guy goes to the back and pulls an unmolested, unopened to that point, brand spanking new full size LE from stock. Oily, virgin german steel tore it for me.
I bought the full size.
Arfcom, tell me I made the right call.
