The vp9 is striker fired and the p30 is a conventional da/sa hammer arrangement. I have both, I shoot both, I love both. I carry a vp9 though.

Already have a ton of Glocks in 9mm so VP9 has zero value to me.

A box standard Glock gen 4 compared to box standard VP9, the VP9 has the better trigger pull. And I carry a Glock everyday for work. IMHO
Which makes more for an accurate gun. Four groups of ten at fifteen yards - slow fire unsupported. The last group was a little faster.  I also have a few Glocks, but why limit yourself? You do you...

For me, I don't shoot da/sa guns all that well as I get older, due to arthritis but the VP9 is a very nice gun. I have had many versions of the P30 and VP9 pistols over the years but am now sticking with the VP9 pistols. A nice option on the VP9 guns is the "B" model. It has the American style mag. release but also has a different grip feel at the trigger guard where it meets the grip area, if that makes sense. It resembles having a trigger guard undercut, like on a Glock. It also doesn't have the trigger groove inside the trigger guard, which is something I have issues with on a standard model. On my ambi mag. release gun, I filed/sanded/smoothed it out, so it no longer has the groove.

I've owned one VP40 and lots of P30L, P30, P30SK in 9mm and 40SW. I didn't shoot the VP40 all that well even though I've owned / carried Glocks since 1995. I do shoot the P30/P30L/P30SK line very well.
Someone mentioned the P30 is a traditional DA/SA. That's not entirely true. The LEM version is some sort of pre-loaded DAO type trigger system. I like the traditional DA/SA and LEM guns. To each their own. For a striker fired gun I'm just sticking with Glock, because. For hammer fired, nothing beats a HK. |

I think it comes down to which trigger system works best for you, the striker fired VP9 family, the DA/SA version, or the LEM version of the P30/P2000/USP family which can be had light V1, heavy V2, etc. I like having a hammer for my thumb to rest on top of while holstering. In the category of timers and targets don't like I simply shoot light LEM better than the others, but that is just me.
