In development for more than four years, the VP9 is Heckler & Koch’s latest handgun and the first striker fired HK since the renowned P7 series pistols were introduced in the 1980s.
HK pioneered the first striker fired handguns, producing both the VP70 and P7 series, designs that impacted several models by HK competitors. But a superior trigger has eluded most striker fired pistol designs. The VP9 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.
Although influenced by other HK models, the VP9 has all the hallmarks 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 magazine release can be easily activated by left- or right-handed shooters.
VP pistols are made in Heckler & Koch’s Oberndorf factory in southwest Germany. The VP9 is well-suited for civilian sport shooting, security, military, and law enforcement use.

Customer Comments & Questions
Customer Reviews
If you're looking for an EDC, this is your gun. This H&K is one of the best guns I've ever shot. The only drawback of this gun is the trigger guard. It should be bigger to keep it from bothering your trigger finger....Go get and shoot one. I think you'll like it.
Excellent, excellent pistol. The ergonomics are the best of any pistol I've ever held and is probably more accurate than I am. The paddle mag release took about 5 minutes to get used to and now I actually prefer it.
My only gripe is the finger safety on the trigger chafes my trigger finger after a couple of mags at the range. I might end up sanding that down a bit.
Overall, an excellent choice if you're looking for this size pistol.
