Anyone getting the HK VP9?

[gundoc]

I wouldn't mind giving it a shot. I've never liked HK triggers but I'll always give a new pistol a fair try.

Nope. I'll keep my P30, Thanks.

I'll keep my p30 too, and I'm on the Cross Creek pre order for one of these as well. It does resemble a PPQ, but then it got it's looks from the p30, so it resembles a P30 to me. The grip texture is a copy of the PPQ though. My PPQ just felt kinda of cheap compared to my P30 though. It performed great though.

Looking forward to that short reset and lower bore axis!

I can't wait either!

my opinion is that HK pistols are U G L Y - and I'll never own a pistol that I think is U G L Y

They are entering a very crowded market that has plenty of cheaper options that are also fairly high quality. If I were going to go for a new design, I'd rather try out the new SIG. Even then, I'm eyeing the M&P right now.

However, glad to see HK is diversifying their product line and offering something that is more accessible to the general population. With their recent, or current, money woes this is a step in the right direction.

There is a very good chance that ill trade my MP9's for at least one of these babies. Especially if the trigger is as good as it's been reported. Not sure about the P30 yet. Guess if I am enamored with the unit I'll trade the P30 as well since in not a safe queen fan.

I want one, really hope they made a weapon with a good trigger..

I remember all the people who said the XD trigger was "Soooooo much better than a Glock." No, it wasn't. In fact it felt worse than a Glock with a competition spring set installed. Same for the M&P.

I'm not holding out much hope the HK is any better. They're trying to make it sound like it's almost a 1911 or something. It will be very nice if I'm wrong.

Actually, my XD trigger was far better than my Glock... Out of the box.

I'm in the same boat. Wishing that the VP9 trigger is atleast as good as the PPQ trigger and all the reviewers including Larry Vickers aren't blowing smoke up our asses. Also want to make sure these reviewers aren't using some golden master hand built units passed around by HK and full production will be like these units.

They are definitely worth looking and considering though.

anyone know if the VP9 will fit in a P30 holster?......looks like it should!

 

[tarheel7734]

Vickers said it almost did. Maybe fit a p30l holster

I have a P30 and PPQ and I think they are equal looking quality.

I just found the plastic a little nicer on the HK, it doesn't mark as easy and just feels like a better plastic in the hand. The frame to slide fit seems a little nicer as well. And the over all fit and finish appears to be cleaner. Steel guide rod...steel sights etc. The Walther is very nice,but IMO, not as nice the HK. Course this is all opinion based except for the materials used.

I haz one and I love it. While i have not fired a PPQ the trigger out of the box is better than glock imo. Crisp break well forward of the back of the trigger guard. Plotting on buying another as soon as i'm able.

 

[SuaSponte175]

I think I'll pass. I owned a HK P2000 and couldn't stand the trigger. So I got rid of it and haven't looked at HK since.

Not seeing what this has over the PPQ. The stippling even looks the same.

I'm always weary when a high-dollar company tries to make a lower-priced product (I'm looking at you, Sig).

I know this is late, but . . .

I think the striker fired designed are just a bunch cheaper to produce (and therefore result in a cheaper pistol). I'll think about this pistol. maybe. . . you, know. If I ever get any money.
