They shipped mine to PA without issue. They just ask for a shipping address.

Thanks!!!

Did MSP papers on mine tonight. Palmetto took my 2 mags but they gave me a PSA sticker....a-holes. I do love the gun though. Thanks to Brian at South Carroll Sporting Goods for the smooth transfer.

I just got my shipping notice from HK regarding the 4 free mags. They are shipping the mags to a PA address so I am hopeful that they will be standard capacity.

If they're standard capacity, then props to HK for accommodating our situation in MD

Just picked this up Friday from 2A after the wait.

Took it out for a spin with a house pistol Glock 19 Gen4

I've shot the Glock quite a bit and shoot ok with pistols in general.
Slow fire was at 50 feet and faster was at 21 feet

My initial thoughts after shooting were, in really slow fire the Glock won, but when I sped things up a bit the HK started to shine a little more. I put the smaller grips panels on it, so I can get all my fingers on it and a really good grip. I like the compactness of the Glock and can still get most of my pinky finger on it. A more apples to apples comparison would be a Model 17.

Overall I really like it and look forward to some more trigger time.

How do the triggers compare? I was shooting with a guy one time who had an HK 9mm something or other and I had my XD9. When we switched I couldn't believe how much better the HK trigger was. It's making me think seriously about getting a VP9

Are you slow firing in a marksmanship match?

Nah I just find a good clean trigger improves my shooting tremendously.

Your concentration on a clear front sight post will improve your shooting immensely. Triggers mean nothing.

Triggers may mean nothing to you but for ME a good trigger allows me to do just what you stated, focus my attention on my site picture.

Then buy a $2,000 1911 and have one of the best triggers available to man. LOL You'll shoot the shit out of a target then.

LOL that's funny. I have a very nice 1911. That's how I know what a difference a good trigger can make

Ok Blaster thanks for your opinion but I would like to get back to my original question to the OP now.

OP can you please tell me how you feel your VP9 trigger compares to your Glock trigger

VP9 trigger is light years better than my stock G19 gen 4 trigger. It’s lighter, smoother and crisp. I actually prefer it to the Zev trigger in my Gen 3 19 as well.

Only change I may make to my VP9 is actually the sights. It has nice night sights but I shoot better with a black rear sight and fiber optic front. So I’ll prolly get some Dawson Precision sights for the Vp9, otherwise it is the cat’s ass. :thumbsup:

Now that I have a few mags and a holster for it, I am looking forward to shooting a USPSA match with it.

Just picked up my mags from PA! This mag rebate was a great deal!
