HK VP9

Recommended Posts

Watched his vid as always. I just don't get what he is bitching about the trigger hurting his finger. The guy has baseball mitts for hands and shoots everything inside and out. Yet a complaint about the trigger? I never had any trigger hurt me just from pulling it. Got to scratch my head on that one. The trigger is sweet.

some people get Groove Bite* from the trough HK puts in the trigger guard to prevent gloves from getting caught. There's 2 basic solutions... learn to ride your thumb high up on the trigger (some people do it naturally, hence why they never notice and don't understand,) or take an emery board and sand down the guard until the trough is gone. Given the guy's age I'd suspect he has finger tips that are curving laterally, causing them to get pinched more easily. I have a client that due to lime's disease has severe deformation of some of his finger tips that REALLY causes him problems with some trigger guards.

 

* that's my on that catch phrase... Groove Bite :D

I've had one trigger hurt. The hk45. Bad enough I swapped it out for a different rental. Maybe this was the same for him. I didn't watch the video though

I'm not sure. He is significantly bigger than me. But I do have monster sized hands. So he probably has longer fingers

The guy is like 6.5' and can palm a bowling ball. Lol.

Phooey! :p

 

My first gun was an HK P2000 LEM. Sold it to one of my partners at work when we got Glocks.

 

I have to carry a Glock for work. I won't buy another HK until I retire.

My next pistol will be another G35 (Glock number 6) that I will chop to G23 grip size for CCW with my RMR slide.

I was really digging this gun by all the pictures I have seen so far. Thing is, they are all pictures of the left side, then I saw a picture of the right side. What the hell is that huge, ugly, out of place lever on the left side? Is that an ambi slide release? That is really killing it for me.

 

(edit: it is a slide release....WHY?!?!?!)

 

Can it be eliminated?

    • I took down a deck that was attached to the house with a ledger board.  That area now needs to be re-sided.   Its a tough predicament because its such a small job, its only like 24 inches high by about 12 feet wide.  After 3 phone calls last fall i actualy got the guy who built the house to come by, he said "sure, i can do it when i get some down time".   I havent heard from him since. i get it.  its a small job.  I'm a pretty handy guy and out of desperation i could probably watch youtube videos and figure out how to patch this by myself but i think id get lost on trying to match the color and i only need a small amount of material i'd have no idea where to buy a small amount.  So i'm gonna try here if anybody knows a vinyl siding company who wouldnt mind doing what i suppose would be a 30 minute job.  I am fully aware that i would need to have his fee make it worth while for the project even though its such a small patch job.  
    • Thanks for the offer @High Exposure and hope you’re doing well.  I’ll be back in just under 2 weeks and we can all work something out. 
    • I bought the stainless Rossi lever carbine in .357 a few years ago, to match a bush rifle caliber to my revolvers. I'm pretty sure I paid under $400 at the time. Shoots sweet, reliable, more than accurate enough. When I was shopping for it I kept running into comments on gun forums (not this one, iirc) criticiziing the action compared to the Henrys, but I've never shot a Henry lever gun, and I guess I'm too dumb to notice any issues.
    • Interesting discussion. I have plenty of large, tall trees that I could affix antennae elements to . But then I'd be at the mercy of wind and lightning. Of course, a falling tree could easily take out an adjacent tower as well :-) My biggest mental obstacle with installing a tower is how to get all the pieces up the slope to the install point. A new tower is no doubt a pretty big expense, but I see them on FB Marketplace regularly for fairly cheap, provided the buyer takes the thing down.
    • Nice grab Stu! Beat me to it. @Mr.Stu And @DirtyDigz - Rumson is the next town over from me (maybe a 5 minute drive). I can be a middle-man and grab it if you can’t find a time that works for you guys and @Rob0115.
