Have you had much side by side trigger time with them? People rush for the new hotness but it doesn't always mean it's better. If you can, get both for awhile (borrow, rent?) and see which you really prefer.

I have a P30 light lem and had a VP9.
The VP9 didn't do anything for me that my Glocks didn't already take care of in regards to striker fired pistols. |

I just did the opposite and traded my VP9 for a P30 V1 in 9mm. I like the P30 a lot more than the VP9. Here's what I posted in another thread:
I know it's not the exact question the OP asked, but I thought I'd share my somewhat relevant experience. I own/owned a USP Compact 45, a P30 9mm, a P30sk 9mm, and a VP9. I like the P30 and P30sk the best. I like the VP9 the least. I traded my VP9 away the other day for a full size P30 9mm V1.
I know a lot of people like the VP9, but I was never really satisfied with mine. It felt significantly less robust than the USP or the P30. If I had no prior experience with the USP or P30, I may not have noticed the following issues. Little things like the weak side slide release lever and the plastic charging supports felt cheap to me. The VP9 was the only polymer pistol I've owned that I could really feel a lot of flex in the grip when I squeezed. I've read rave reviews regarding the VP9 trigger, but my particular VP9 had a fair amount of grit in the take up and a good bit of creep just before the break. That said, the VP9 reset is pretty nice. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I like the USP and P30 triggers more. Just my $.02 |

How's the reset on the V1? Maybe I'll try swapping springs to the V1.

I don't find it to be overly long and it certainly doesn't hamper my ability to shoot it quickly and accurately. For a carry gun, I actually like the V1 trigger over anything else Ive tried. For several years, I resisted buying a V1 trigger under the false belief that I would hate it. I'm really happy that I gave the V1 a chance. |

I recently got a vp9. I have had the p30 for a few years. If I had to sell one I would sell the vp9. nothing wrong with it but I prefer the p30

The reset point shouldn't change from LEM to V1

I changed the trigger return spring for the one found on the LEM Light V1. I like it a lot better. I'm keeping the P30.

I like my P30L. But I like my VP9 better and that is my EDC and the P30L has been a range toy ever since.

I never really grew fond of the LEM trigger. That being said, I have owned both and there is no way I would part with my P30 for VP9. Both are great pistols, however the P30 feels much more solid IMO. I would strongly suggest handling a VP9 prior to making the trade and look into alternative trigger options.

I had a P30L V1 (Light LEM) that I sold to finance a VP9. I like the VP9's grip better, but otherwise I miss the P30L.

I have a VP9 with the regular springs and a P30LS LEM with the light trigger spring in it. I used to have a regular P30LEM Light LEM (it was the first gun in this pattern for me). I had it for years. Took it and my newly acquired VP9 to the range. It was no contest which pistol I could shoot better. VP9 hands down. And this was after having thousands of rounds through the P30L. The VP9 just clicked for me better.
Wound up selling the P30. Still have the L as I shoot that one fairly well. It's used as a nightstand pistol with a light attached. VP9 is my go-to carry gun. |
