HK VP9

Recommended Posts

Thought you got one already? (Why you selling your usp....blasphemy I tell ya).... ;)

 

I bought mine at RTSP the day after they became available. Also, the stainless gun is only one of several USPs in my collection(though I expect more going up for sale soon).

My LE is waiting at the shop for my dang permits. Hopefully end of the week.

Still! I call shenanigans and blasphamy.. I'll never sell my HK collection. No matter how many.... Ok, back to our regularly scheduled program... :)

best suggestion, call around and ask.

I can tell you this from my experience:

If I weren't a hammer fired guy I'd get a VP9. As it is I'll probably get one anyways; it's that good of a gun. Picking between a VP9 and a P30 is like choosing between fraternal twins of the same sex.

ive been a hammer fired guy since i started shooting (which, granted, has only been a year and a half, i just happen to like hammers better), but i figured it was time to add one striker fired to my collection.  Dont like Glocks (tried one, felt quite unnatural to me), and ive shot a few M&P's and while they were OK, they didnt thrill me.  The only striker fired that i held that felt really comfortable in my hand was the PPQ.  From what I heard, the VP9 felt as nice as the PPQ and possibly even more so.  Trigger was also very very good from what i heard.  So I picked one up from Monmouth Arms.  Everything I heard was true.  Trigger felt great (light & crisp) and erognomics felt great out of the box.  Couple that with the back & side strap changing, and i got it to feel even better in my hands. 

 

Crappy part is, I havent gotten to shoot it yet.  (only been about a week or so).  But that will come soon.

Ok, just put over 300 rounds through it without hiccup... Here is a couple shots.

This gun is a keeper!

 

This is the first 10 shots with Hornady CD.

Just fired 10 rounds at 25 ft to check for proper function of a defense round.

This one is 115gr fmj at 25ft.

This gun is the best HK shooter I own.

I shoot it better with less effort. It's smooth,

Breaks sweet. Really enjoyable.

Just head shots... About 30 rounds...

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
