HK VP9

[NoSmoking]

I've got one on order, I paid $600. Where did you find it for 589, if I may ask? =)

These are seeming to have a street value less than I thought it would be. I figured they would be $650 and up even though it retailed for $719.

Yes these numbers are leaning me towards a less than distant purchase..... Even though I told myself my next Hk would be a tactical.

I think I might have to get myself one as well maybe before winter. I don't think you could go wrong with one of these or the tactical though

Here is a new review.

Well I do have a order in for one now. My Para is just not working out well enouigh.

They have one at the sportsmans warehouse in Vancouver.
Nice pistol, fits my hand well. $629. They said it was the first one they'd gotten in.

Got mine 10 days ago. Everything I love about my P30L, but sits deeper in the web of my hand. Shot it 4 days a go and found groups similar to my P30L. However, does not touch my P226R German or West German P226s for accuracy.

I find it vastly superior to my G17 and G19 in terms of recoil sensation, accuracy, and looks. But I'll keep them like I keep duct tape; cheap enough to keep around, durable enough to sit for long periods of time without worrying about them, and can be relied upon in a pinch if my other pistols aren't assessable or become inoperative. BTW, I'm am most decidedly not a Glock guy. I want to be, but just can't.

I know thy are saying if you see one buy it, I guess right now there is somewhat limited availability, I know sportsmans down here only got one

good info here. I own a P30 and would expect this to shoot about as well. I am a bit glad to know it does not outs hoot a p226 as my MK25 is my favorite. (IE means I don't have to go and buy one right away. )

My P226R GER is deadly accurate to 50 yards with WIN Ranger 147 bonded HP. I have a MK25 as well, but have never shot it. The 3 best pistols I shoot are good 1911's, German SIGs (9 and 45), and 3rd gen Smith semi-autos (especially 45's). These are the pistols I grew up with, so that must be the decisive factor.

I want to shoot really like the current array of fine pistols, but hits are what count. Right?

I will likely keep my VP9, but it'll take some time to see if I ever decide to make it part of my EDC line up. My gut feeing right now is the P30L will see more carry than the VP9.

To sum it up, I recommend the VP9 for anyone who like how it's feel in hand (medium side panels and small back strap on mine). Shooting it feels more refined than a Glock (to me they feel like hitting 2 old pots together sounds), and no one can argue the HK pedigree. The price is good too.

Wish i had a German 226, I only have a 228 but my MK25 shoot as good as my match grade 1911.

Now, I am not really a very good shot to take that for what you will.

Well I need a working gun to take training with so since no VP9's are available, I dropped the order for it and will get a XDM 5.25 in 9mm. the deciding factor for me is the XDM comes with three mags and Springfield will give me three more. The Walther PPQ M2 was my second choice and it was allocated also. So third was a toss up between a Glock 17 and the XDM and as I said there is a sales promotion going on that makes the XDM seem better. Too bad I wanted a VP9, but then there is always next year.

Anyone know the best place for the best price on p30/vp9 magazines?

 

[PlayboyPenguin]

I love H&K, but they really missed the mark on this one. It looks che3ap and feels cheap. It pales next to the Walther PPQ...and costs more.

I have seen a few pics from the front and the fit and finish do seem to be lacking.

Yeah, the one I shot just wasn't up to the standards I have come to expect from H&K.

I finally took mine out the other day, it's a nice one, great trigger, on the part of it being less quality, well it definitely feels different than my p2000, but for the price point its at I will take it. I paid over $250 less for the vp9 than the p2000 so the cost difference has to come from somewhere, still looks better made than the glock 19 or 17 I had. I have shot a ppq and it is defiantly a great trigger but to me its just an ugly gun, not that it matters what it looks like for function, but if I have a choice between two things that are almost identical on function i will pick the better looking one every time, call me shallow. I will get back to you when I get a thousand rounds down the range before I make a sold judgment call though, got about 15,000 through my p2000 and its been great
