I've never got into the striker fired/hammer debate.

Striker-fired have a lower bore axis by design, and a more simple and consistent trigger press to learn, with short reset. You don't have that change from the heavy/long DA pull to the short/light SA pull. I like them better than hammer-fired designs.

+1 for the P7. The VP9 looks interesting but I would be happier to hear that HK was starting up P7 production again, maybe even with a polymer frame option. To me the VP9 is more interesting as an update to the VP70 with its really heavy trigger pull, than the P30 which I really like as it is.

Looks like an interesting pistol, but it does look very PPQish.

I'm sold if it has a worthwhile trigger. We'll see if HK can match Walther's factory PPQ trigger.

I think I'm looking at my next pistol.
For anybody who actually would like to see a video of this firearm being demonstrated at H&K Headquarter. An American Rifleman exclusive.

And one directly from HK's shooting team.

This is expected to drop any day now, they say July/ August.

Motherfvcker.
Just tempting enough to reconsider the HQL. As long as there isn't one around for me to fondle, it'll be OK.

I'm guessing it would make waaaay too much sense for this gun to take P30 mags - am I right?
Edit: Wow, I stand corrected. HK had an opportunity to stick it to their customers and didn't. That stack of P30 mags I bought in September just became more useful.
"The VP9 uses the proven P30 steel magazine (15 and 10-round capacity available)."

That's what it uses.
I'll let you fondle mine. Wouldn't want you to miss out on wrapping your hands around a nice gun.

Damn decent of you.
I'll even take the high road and not put that first line in the O.O.C. thread.

I think this will be a winner for HK. I wish Glock would include front cocking serrations as a standard feature.
