New HK VP9

[Blaster229]

This whole thread actually has me looking into the HK. Now to find one to borrow and send a few rounds down range.

Well, it will be November 25th before you could borrow one. They are approved on the 17th, so the eighth day after that.
No. You're not borrowing mine

Is there a large agency in the US that uses VPs ?

$719?

He told me that pricing would start with a 6. I'm not currently in the market so I didn't press for an exact price.

Man at those prices, I'm glad I got in on the HK Pro Group Buy for $565 w night sites and x2 10 round mags...

Yea $719 is MSRP prices, they can still be found much cheaper online.

Once the newness wears off I'd be a buyer at 600.

Wow. Nice

Me too. Also curious about whether they introduce other calibers, and would like to see more user reports. While I've seen a lot of upbeat magazine/blog reviews and the aesthetics of the gun are positively seductive, this thread at Calguns seemed mixed ...

(real user report starts at post 70 - although he has a better experience later)

Yes. Identical in size. Little wider than the 17. This is my conundrum now. Since my MK25 is my "full size"pistol.
Maybe I'll part with my shield to alleviate some of the financial pain. Lol I hate wanting and not needing.

Didn't you just get the Shield? Prefer your small revolver (LCR?) as a bug instead?

I love the LCR. The wife keeps it handy. Not liking the shield much now. Been having a going into battery issue. It's ever so slight and I really don't mind giving the slide a bump forward, but I'm tired of messing with it and want to dump it and start over.
I don't mind getting rid of one pistol if it helps bring another one home

Before buying the VP9, given the current paucity of user feedback (in addition to professional reviews), you should see if there's an opportunity to try it, and maybe a similar shooter (e.g. PPQ) in parallel. I'm also interested in a VP9 (and have a PPQ) but want to put a few rounds through one before buying after some of what I've read online. We test drive cars all the time, even the less expensive clunkers.
If you want something smaller than a VP9/PPQ/229 but bigger than the Shield in 9mm, can borrow my P99C AS for a spin. It's got many of the nice characteristics of a PPQ and P99, but in a smaller package. Hard as hell to find though.

Ive been debating trading my P30 and getting a VP9 as my local shop has them for a great price but the P30 is sentimental. I get attached to things too easily.

Save your pennies for the VP9 & keep the P30. You'll regret getting rid of it.

Speaking of 9mm HK, I have a polymer hammer-fired treat for you in say, 2 weeks?

I know a shop who says they have "plenty" of VP9s available on the 17th. They will be pinned magazines though. Well, not for me. But anyway.... LOL

I'm interested in the VP9...what shop is this?

I have a wish list of 5 guns and a small budget.

worth a shot. $700 with pinned mags, unless exempt. $19 off MSRP retail. Only place I know within reason who says they have "plenty". I'll be there 10 a.m. on the 17th.

The grip is awesome. I can manipulate the mag release just fine. I like that the controls are ambi since I like to shoot left handed as well. It doesn't feel "full size" even tho it has the same dimensions as a G17, but a lil wider.

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.
