Work has kept me away from the range longer than I'd like so today, between loads of laundry to get ready for the next business trip, I found an hour to take a new HK VP9SK FDE out for a test run.
30 rounds, Geco 115gr FMJ, 7 yards
As usual, all over the place while figuring-out POI and best sight picture. The pistol feels absolutely great, like an extension of my shooting hand. Surprisingly, it was just as comfortable to shoot with and without the pinky finger extension on the magazine. Trigger is a tad heavier than my Walther PPQ's but has a crisp break and a very short reset.
Heck, it takes me a box of ammo just to get warmed-up after being away from the range for several weeks. I put the VP9SK away for a few minutes and ran a box of Fiocchi thru my CZ Shadow 2.
50 rounds, Fiocchi 115gr FMJ, 15 yards
LOL That thing is just effortless. WTH. OK, now back to the VP9SK.

I can't explain it. Taking a break to shoot the Shadow 2 must've been the right thing to do, either that or the VP9SK just really likes Fiocchi ammo. Whatever it was, that's some pretty phenomenal performance from a sub-compact 9mm pistol at 7 yards if I do say so myself.
Not sure how much I like the paddle magazine release system but, I'll get used to it. I like being able to drop a mag with my right index finger without having to adjust my grip. Feels kinda weird, though.
I didn't think anyone could build a pistol as comfortable to shoot as a CZ but, it seems HK has been able to do it with the VP9SK. Thanks again to Dan and John at BBP for another great deal and smooth transaction.
