I need to take a day, gather up my small bank roll, and road trip to some shops. Hard to find the time for a 3-4 hour trip to look at guns.

The mild cursory shopping I did at other shops for this pistol had them saying their distributors had none and have no idea when they would get any to ship. I checked 4 in the AA county area. I have to think this is the norm for most.
I'm a player at $700 with 2, 15 rnd mags. I think I would be shit hot shooting this thing.

I'm guessing getting the LE package with 3 magazines and night sights is out of the question?

If I can get this and the 556R XI I'd be set for the year...self imposed limit of 3 firearms a year.

My bad. That's what it is. Not night sights but they are "glow in the dark"? The hired help wasn't sure of the mag count. But iirc the "glow in the dark" sights denote the LE model which would have 3 mags.

I thought the normal one came with "glow in the dark" and 2 mags and the LE packaged was 3 mags and I believe actual Triji's night sights?

Now confuse me why dontcha? I have no clue now.

Regular one comes with luminescent sights that you charge. LE package has tritium night sights and three 15rd mags. $700 at $20 off retail is likely the standard gun and two mags. Some online places have the LE package for between $650 and $700, but good luck with getting them to send it here.

It is a hoot to shoot. You'll love it.

CTD has best price on extra mags. About $37/ not counting shipping. P30 fits as you prolly already know.

The rechargeable sights are pretty good. I couldn't find tritium. It was $619 with two mags.

Good price. On Slickguns, I see it just under $600 ...

Ignore the expired warning and scroll midway down to the list of dealers on the page (it lists who has it in stock and what price). I found $624 for the LE package in a different slickguns listing.

However, handgun transfer fees are around $100 for many places in MD these days, so better to buy locally of course and support the dealers that support MD 2A rights.

Not quite sure but my P30 came with 3 mags and Trijis. All of the VP9s at my local shop come with 3 15 rd mags and Trijis. I always thought the Hk guns came with 3 mags as standard but I could very well be wrong. Lets hope it does come with 3.

Blaster229 · Nov 11, 2014

I am still trying to find a listing, an ad, an msrp of different packages available?
Like one apparently has the glow sights and 2 mags and apparently the "LE" version has the trijjis and 3 mags. IS there an HK website with products that I cannot just seem to link to?

fidelity · Nov 11, 2014

Product numbers from a Calguns thread ...

700009-A5 = standard sights, 2x 10rd mags
M700009-A5 = standard sights, 2x 15rd mags
700009LE-A5 = tritium night sights, 3x 15rd mags

http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=973330

On the phone and unable to check the HK site (have to run) but the product numbers might help you find the listings.

Perfect. Thanks!

HK comes with 2 magazines as standard. The LE packages may differ.

Shame the waiting period cannot start tomorrow and be available for pick up on the 17th. I am pulling the trigger on this sweet thang tomorrow. Just ordered a TLR2g too.

Blaster229 - Any reason you went with the TLR2g? Just asking as I've never purchased a light before, and wondering what made you choose this one over all the others? I plan on pulling the trigger on a unit when I pick mine up from A1 after the wait...

I just wanted to try a green laser.
I laid in bed and practiced with it.
I think I'm slight ocd and to see the second reflection "dot" just killed me.
But a laser not emitting from inside the actual light would be better.
I wanted green and wanted the strobe feature. Pretty sure that's the only one on the market?

Pre-VP9 though.

swinokur · Nov 17, 2014

yep, but wanted to show some guns come with 3 mags.

If it has LE in the model number, it comes with Meprolight night sights and 3 mags.

Went in to 2A today to do paperwork on the Sig P320.

Then made the mistake of fondling the VP9.

Pick them both up next Monday.
