Decided on the HK VP9 LE

[gunnarsport 13]

Hi,

 

After much research and having a tendency to over think things, I decided on and purchased the HK VP9 LE package, with the night sights and the extra 3rd magazine.

I should be picking it up next weekend. I went back to Cheyenne Outfitters and handled the VP9 and it just ozzes quality. The fit and finish, at least to my eyes, appears to be a step above the M&P and the FNS-9. The grip is perfect and the whole feel and balance is perfect to me.

 

I stopped in Sportsmen Center in Bordentown. I dont know how this place stays in business, its dead in there and it looks like you are stepping back into the 1970s. They really

need a full makeover. The gun counter was practically empty and old and dated looking. However, I will say the lady at the counter was extremely nice and professional. The whole feel of the store is depressing and it certainly wouldn't shock me if I drove by again in  2 months to see a Out of Business sign on the door. I may be wrong, but that's

the vibe this place puts out, to me.

 

 I did not purchase from Cheyenne Outfitters since I found another dealer with a better price that had one left in stock.

You actually found a VP9 LE in stock?  I thought they were fairly hard to find - most places have the regular VP9...

You won't regret it. Good luck....

Yes I did! One NJ  FFL/dealer, who works out of his home, had purchased 7 not too long ago and had one left when I called this morning to order.

Anyone else hear that hk might be discontinuing the vp series? Don't know if it's just a rumor or not.

Stopping the VP series?  No way!!!  I recently bought the VP9 and I searched every where. WAY too popular to stop now. I actually traded a HG in for part of said VP9.  The dealer said no sweat on trade etc.. but I had to actually pay for the entire HG while waiting on a permit. They move too fast.

 

I have around 500 rounds through mine. Maybe 450...  It is unreal. From 3-10 yards it shoots itself. super easy to get tight grouping. Recoil is nil. Action is smooth and the grips are king. It came with the small/medium/large hand grips with the medium installed.   I have a large hand and found this grip perfect. You will be amazed at how light it is. Mine came with 2 mags and I bought 2 more. I might get one more. Order them online.  Yeah, they are not cheap, but beats calling around or driving around locally. 

 

I got them from :

Easy and very fast shipping.  SO fast that I had no idea what was in the envelope.

 

I field stripped it after 200-250 rounds, to see how it looked. Really did NOT need a cleaning but I cleaned it anyway. 

 

Have fun!!!

 

 

OH, BTW, if you have NOT gotten your NICS check yet, you can not get that done on Sunday. Food for thought.

[gunnarsport 13]

Tempest,

 

Thanks, I am really looking forward to shooting it. I got the LE version, with the extra magazine and night sights. I would like to get at least 1 more magazine, maybe two and be done.

 

Yes, my dealer will be running the NICS check on Saturday.

Great. Your ocd was correct and got the correct pistol. You had me worried for awhile.

[gunnarsport 13]

Golf,

Thanks,I will be sure to post some pictures late Sunday.

[Displaced Texan 11,731]

Yep, good call. Anything from H&K is pretty much an excellent choice. I love my USP .40 Compact.

Thinking about the VP9 for my next pistol.

 

Let's see what you got!
