I'm looking to get my HK Vp9 slide milled to fit a Rmr and one guy I emailed about doing it told me to " dump that HK overpriced junk and get a Glock or a M&P" because of all the issues the vp9 had. I personally have run a thousand rounds through mine without a single issue.

Well I guess you won't be using him to mill the slide   I can't think of that many issues with the VP9.  David

I've never had an issue with any of my HK's. P30LS, VP9 or P30 SKS. I've shot BP's P2Ks also without any trouble.

However I have had trouble with M&P's and rusty slides and sporadic ejection on my old gen 4 Glock.

All guns can have problems, but my HK's and Sigs have been flawless.

Mine had a few failures to return to battery and one weird extraction issue in the first few mags, but has been solid since.

Sounds like the one guy you emailed is a dumbass.

I prefer Glock, but the HK VP9 is a fine pistol, priced right.

Tell him to kiss your ass.........what is it with fucktard gun folks and always wanting to give others their expert advice........tell him next time if he keeps his personal opinions to himself he may not loose another customer.

Acouple of people on the H&K forum had problems with the twisted wire trigger return spring ( Seen if you look down the ejection port inside the grip ).
I personally think they monkeyed with the gun and detail stripped them.
I have no problems with mine and think semi auto pistols in general "It's the best"

Fanboys exist everywhere his loss of money.  VP9 is a good pistol nothing to worry about or see here.  Guy just sounds like a tool.

I'm glad yall feel like I do. Bad thing is his business seemed legit until I talked to him. He's even had his work on pistols on the cover of a couple magazines. But  I'm not getting rid of my HK regardless and I know I'm gonna love the Rmr on it. Talked to Mark at L & M and he was much more professional and knowledgeable.

I'd definitely consider doing business with someone else.

So far I've yet to hear of any common problems with the VP9. H&K's handguns in general don't like aluminum or steel cased ammo (says in the manual not to use either) but aside from that I have no idea what "issues" he is referring to.

It's likely he's just a yutz.

Happy VP9 owner here. Find another smith.

I've only put a couple hundreds rounds through mine so far but absolutely no problems so far.

My range has a rental with tens of thousands of rounds through it.  No issues.

I'd love to know what smith this was so I can avoid them.

1000+ rounds through mine with no problems.



That guy is an asshole!

I've heard about plenty more problems with Glocks and M&Ps than I've ever heard of HK pistols. Guy is an idiot.

Bowie is a toolbag. Right in the same category as Gabe Suarez.

Use ATEi or L&M Precision.

Sounds like he has a display cabinet full for Glocks and M&Ps he needs to sell.

Every gun has its fan boys and haters.

Just because they are trainers or industry professionals does not make them any less opinionated.
