I’ve been waiting YEARS for HK to release a factory VP9L. Looks like it’s finally going to happen although on a “limited production” basis. Comes with the optics cut and 20 round mags.

Does anyone make a threaded barrel for the VP9L? That would make for a nice suppressor host I'm thinking.

I love a long slide, no doubt. My long slide are in 10mm.
What tangible advantage does it have with a red dot sight? |

Quoted: I love a long slide, no doubt. My long slide are in 10mm. What tangible advantage does it have with a red dot sight? Quoted: Dirt induction ports. Yay! That’s part of my question. With a LS 9mm with a red dot, it’s gonna be a heavy slide. Harder to cycle that amount of mass, unless the spring is lighter. Which has its own issues. That’s why I don’t see suppressor use for this combination. |

On long slide pistols like this usually the holes in the slide are there for weight relief so that it is the same weight as the shorter standard slide. |

I've run an HK VP9L milled for a Trijicon RMR for over a year on duty. Went through Modern Samurai RDS course with it and have 5,000 rounds through it with 0 issues whatsoever.
Long Slide cycles just fine.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Dirt induction ports. Yay! Pretty sure the main reason behind that was to keep the weight the same as the standard slide so nothing else had to be re-engineered. Easy to market it as a "competition" thing too. I would much prefer an intact, heavier slide and if that means it's not interchangeable with the standard. I bought the long slide kit a while ago, and shooting it doesn't feel any different to me than the standard slide. |

Seems like only the guide rod and spring would need tweaked...like the P30 and P30L  Attached File |

Nice, I want one! Looks like Buds has them listed on their site for when they get some in, but no pictures or price yet.

Would have been nice if they bumped the capacity of the 20 round magazine to 22, when releasing this pistol. Oh well though, still nice to see the optics ready slide being offered on an additional model.
VP9SK OR hopefully soon. |

One dealer was 949 and another dealer that used to be the cheapest around had one at 1099. I left with only the gas tube.

I have an early long slide.
Where is a good place to send it, to have it milled for RMR? |

I sold mine after the first day. Did not co-witness at all even with the XS sights. I decided I'm happy with
my uncut slide with supressor sights no red dot........ |

It’s not just to make it lighter—it’s to make it roughly the same weight as a regular length slide. Changing slide weight might necessitate changing other things, like the recoil spring, when going to a long slide. |
