Heckler & Koch VP9 9mm on 7/29/14…

Good afternoon all.  It’s going to be a busy Blog day as we have a lot of inventory that landed here this morning.  We are going to get rolling with the elephant in the room that everyone has been waiting for, the Heckler & Koch VP9 Pistol chambered in 9mm.  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.  Experience gained by HK engineers with the recent P30 pistol had a direct influence on the design of the VP9, but the VP9 breaks new ground with its integration of a unique striker firing system with an enhanced HK “light pull” trigger. The net result is trigger quality unequaled in any production striker fired handgun.  The VP9 trigger has a consistent pre-travel pull with a positive wall/crisp break. Typically, striker fired guns have a pre-travel pull that increases in weight as you go through the trigger stroke. With the VP9, you have a less than noticeable pre-travel pull until the trigger reaches the engagement point of the fire control parts prior to trigger break.  As far as ergonomics go, if you have ever held an H&K P30 then you know the smile that erupts on your face when you pick this weapon up.  While I have not had the opportunity to fire this weapon yet, I did record a video below that will show you what kind of trigger you are in for with this weapon.  It put a smile on my face which is typical of pretty much every H&K I have ever held.
