H&K releases VP9 SK (SubCompact)

The eagerly anticipated subcompact model of the acclaimed Heckler & Koch VP Series handgun, VP9 SK (in 9 mm) has all of the sought-after characteristics of larger frame VP pistols but in a more concealable design.

 

The highly-rated HK VP precision strike trigger is also found on the VP SK. The VP trigger surpasses those found on competitors. It has a short, light take-up with a solid, single action type break followed by a short positive reset. The net result is trigger quality unmatched in production striker fired pistols.

 

A small-scale interpretation of the completely adjustable VP grip feature — consisting of interchangeable backstraps and lateral grip panels — is replicated in the compact grip frame of the VP9 SK. This allows the pistol to be easily modified to fit any individual user and is a feature found only on Heckler & Koch handguns. Molded finger grooves in the front of the pistol’s grip also instinctively position an operator’s hand for optimal shooting.

The VP SK has the features of the latest, state-of-the-art handgun. All controls are completely ambidextrous. Slide releases are present on both sides of the frame and the paddle style magazine release can be easily activated by left- or right-handed shooters.

 

HK’s patented charging supports, found on full size VP pistols, are also present on the VP SK. The charging supports are simple components that are mounted on each side of the rear of the slide and provide better gripping leverage for racking the slide rearward. The charging supports speed reloading and make operating the VP easier for shooters with reduced hand strength.

 

VP SK pistols can use a variety of proven HK magazines, including compact double stack 10-round and 13-round with either flat or extended floorplates for a more ergonomic grip. The VP SK can also use the same high capacity 15-round magazine used by the full size VP and P30 handguns. Magazine sleeves that replicate the grip profile of the VP handgun are also available.

 

VP SK pistols have an abbreviated Picatinny MIL-STD-1913 rail molded into their polymer frame for mounting lights and accessories.

VP SK pistols use a proprietary captive flat recoil spring that helps reduce the recoil forces affecting the operator and the handgun, improving shooter control during rapid firing and prolonging component life span.

 

HK’s famous cold hammer forged barrel — made from cannon grade steel — ensures a long service life. Similar HK barrels on 9 mm P30 models have fired more than 90,000 rounds in endurance tests in 2010. The polygonal bore profile, with no traditional lands-and-grooves rifling, contributes to longer service life as well as a slight increase in muzzle velocity.

 

The VP SK’s machined steel slide is protected from corrosion and wear by HK’s hostile environment finish and all metal components, including springs and pins have superior metallurgy.

 

Despite their small size, VP SK subcompacts have excellent weight and balance making them naturally pointable, easy to control, and accurate to shoot. VP SK models are currently available in 9 mm.

 

VP SK pistols are made in Heckler & Koch’s Oberndorf factory in southwest Germany and are well suited for civilian sport shooting, security, military, and law enforcement use.

 

A high quality and well-engineered design, the VP9 SK possesses all the features and long-term durability that make HK products especially cost-effective when subjected to total life cycle cost analysis. And like full size VP pistols, the VP9 SK is value priced at $719 (MSRP).

Now how did I miss that? I read that post, and didn't realize is was a VP9-SK. 

So much for marketing!

[voyager9 3,434]

Any word on when they'll be available in the states? Will be looking at the VP9 and now considering the L-version.

What am I comparing this too. Pps? 43?

Glock 26

P30SK

[Zeke 5,504]

Glock 26

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the 43 vs the 26

Type, genre etc.

26 type is the same size as a 43. Later being a little lighter with less capacity.

 

This is generic, substitute any manufacturer for glockenspiel

[Krdshrk 3,877]

Glock 26 is a double stack.  Glock 43 is a single stack.

 

G26 is fatter.  Glock 43 is slimmer and easier to conceal.

Slim Johann vs. Chubby Hans.

Sizewise no - weight yes.

Which is why I won't buy a single stack hangun like a PPS or G43.

True, but unless your 4'10 and 110 pounds you should be able to hide a Glock 26.

On paper, No. In reality, yes, its a big difference.

I carry every day and found the G43 was not worth it for me because I have a G26. I am considering the Kimber K6S as my everyday gun.

Well, today I unexpectedly fondled a VP9 SK.

I may have to rethink my acquisition hiatus.

I finger banged one at Garden State Shooting Center.  I hate not having my pinky on the gun but it didn't bother me in this instance.
