Chris Kalman :HK does not give out free guns and for someone who has never seen a VP9, you sure have a strong opinion. I own a Walther PPQ and love it. It wasn't free either. Since you obviously didn't watch the entire video, I said I'll be comparing the PPQ /VP9.

Chris Kalman I also have access to Walther handguns but after the PPQ review. Please know that I'm not going to say anything to appease any company. Too many people buy from my recommendations. The PPQ is an excellent handgun all things aside. This review is for the HK VP9. As I staed, I'm not going to get side track with all the details. I understand you own a PPQ and you like it. But being critical of my review before you've handled a VP9? Understand that this is for entertainment purposes only.... the final decision is for the customer. I'm just showing features and what I like.

I am in Germany where I've shot both, and actually own my VP9 already straight from Oberndorf via Frankonia. This HK trigger is fantastic, absolutely fantastic. I connect with it better than my competition M&P9L Pro Series C.O.R.E. with the Apex trigger group in it. Favourite pistol I own by far. /edit : Also the cocking lugs are great for my sometimes weaksauce female hands when I practice cocking the gun in awkward situations. And yes, you can remove them

My wife & I just purchased our first handgun last weekend, & went with the HK VP9 based on recommendations, reviews such as these, as well as hands-on experience at the local range. We must say that we couldn't be more pleased with such a fine quality pistol. We were both very intimidated by firearms in general, concerned by the lack of experience we both had as well as the high-anxiety of becoming potential gun-owners. After sound research & advice, as well as becoming more comfortable with repeated use of the VP9, we're very proud to say that we're now more knowledgeable & comfortable HK VP9 gun owners. Purchased for under $700 at Champion Firearms in College Station, TX. Thank you for filming these reviews. You're more help than you may know.

I am an FFL dealer and just got one in (they are very difficult to procure and I have access to 9 major vendors across the US) I got this in to sell but after looking it over I am adding it to my .9 collection - this is a superb weapon, lightweight, great trigger pull and re-set, plenty of real estate inside the trigger guard for gloves for folks in the Cold states. Price point is very, very reasonable and there is an edition that comes from the factory with night sights installed which is very nice for an extra $60.00 ... Glock used to offer this but for some reason has stopped this availability. As you can imagine I have had just about every pistol come through my shop at one time or another but I must say this one ranks right up there as one of the nicer 9's I have. It's nice to see HK getting into a more reasonably priced market with a line of very competent weapons. I am a huge HK fanboy and this is a home run. Would love to see a compact version for easier CC however, this is very doable as a CCW in colder whether.

This is on rotation as my night stand and since I wear my watch to bed, I use a powerful LED flashlight to charged luminous indices on my watch so inxan see it throughout thr night and I just hit the glow in the dark sights and it stays luminous throughout the night. I also use a Streamlight TLR H1 1,000 lumens light and this is my bump in the night pistol I am fully confident in. Love tis HK.

This is a phenomenal weapon system. Yes, it is an expensive pistol relative to a Glock. But, it's precise, the trigger is amazing also.

This makes much more consumer friendly than their past offerings.

I'm sure this is a fine weapon. I'm confused as to why I'd pay almost $200 more for a gun that doesn't seem to do anything very much better than a stock Gen. 4 Glock 17. Yes, there are the side grips and the questionable cocking "ears" and for lefties the slide release on both sides, but beyond these things it's not giving me the warm fuzzies. The VP9 is longer, taller and most importantly for CCW folks, thicker than the Glock. And really is "cannon grade steel" a real advantage here? I've not heard of a rash of weak exploding barrels of late. Sounds like a marketing puff to me. Again, I'm sure it's a nice weapon, but until a maker comes up with a weapon that will do better what the Glock will do and at a comparable price, I'll just keep my Glock and spend the extra $$ I save on ammo and range time.

I'll be carrying an extra mag in my left front pocket utilizing the neomag. You think you might be able to review the Neo mag?

It's good to see H&K came out with a striker fired gun thats direct competition to the PPQ. I had a PPQ M1 with about 4500 rounds through it. I got rid of it due to parts availability including simple things like magazines. I can't wait to handle this thing and maybe even walk out the door with it.

Great review. I’ve noticed a recent trend watching VP9 reviews. They always compare the trigger to a Glock. If they compared it to a Walther, Canik, or CZ striker fired pistol, people would be like, “Why spend all that money on an H&K?” And they’d be correct in that assumption.

That's because Glock is the king of striker fired pistols. They have a hammer lock on police departments big and small. If I remember correctly, in the beginning they offered their guns at $1 a piece, and since the buying decision is from the budget officer and not the SWAT commander, they couldn't turn that down. That way, they got their foot in the door. Once several big agencies are on board, its an easy sell to smaller agencies that can't afford to do their own testing. So now LE agencies local, state, and feds use Glock. They are used by the military even though the big contract went to Sig. Special Forces teams use them, replacing the venerable andnshot out 1911s. NAVY SEALS use them. Rangers use them. In the civilian world, they sell all the Glocks they make. People who know nothing about guns know the Glock name and think, rightly or wrongly, that it is the be all, end all in handguns. So Sootch compares HK to the Glock as opposed to Walther or Canik. People who don't know guns have bot heard of Walther, Canik, CZ.

hk and glock both have great triggers, if you like one model you shoot it all the time one will get use to anything. Both go bang and don't jam which is a MAJOR factor for me.

I have an H&K USP .45 Compact that is the most ergonomic, best pointing pistol I own. It just feels great in the hand and when I try to quick draw/fire it, I'm always on because it just points so nicely. I might have to chime in and get one of these VP9's, that's one sexy pistol.

PSA has this for $549.99 or $649.99 with night sights and 3 mags. I think I'm gonna order me one. Looks like a great piece to own.

I normally do not like HK's products, but I think I like this one. The grip is one of the most customizable that I have seen, I like the sights, I like the controls, it does not weigh to much, and the price is not too bad.

Great review between you and Hickok45 you guys are the most channels I base my reviews on. Since I am on permanent disability this purchase will be my last for awhile. I own three SKS's one 53 Tula and two Yugo's M39's all have matching numbers the Yugo's I bought at my local shop and I say they are 98 to 99% in their condition. I carry S&W shield but want more capacity so it looks like this will be the one. Thanks for the great review. Bill Z.

Thank you sootch00. I bought a brand new usp 9 last year. Since then, I had exp with sig and cz. I prefer the cz. The finish, fit (not grip), operation, and reliability of the usp is superior. I wanted to buy the vp 9 but not on ca rooster

Responding a bit late, but I just want to say our Fobus HK-2 passive retention holster is a perfect fit for the VP9. Tested and verified at the AUSA annual meeting in DC last month.

Wow how times have changed. You can get these guns all day long for around the $500 range. Sportsman's Warehouse had them on sale for about $450 right before Christmas this year, 2017.

great gun just picked one up. getting the slide off the lower is easy. just release it with the lock and let the recoil spring do all the work it shoots off right in your hand.

Great review Sootch as always. Hey at 12:20, press down slightly on the rear of the slide as you remove the slide and you will get the slide off w/o having to pull the trigger. Same for putting the slide back on. I'm looking forward to adding a VP9 to accompany my VP40.

im a part-time cop in the PSNI. have sig 226 and glock 17. the glocks my service weapon that i carry on duty. i love the 226 to shoot and its a cool looking gun. the glocks a big square brick, not nice to look at or shoot but i'll take my glock on duty every time before anything else because when i pull that trigger it goes bang...
