Heckler & Koch VP9

The Heckler & Koch VP9 is a full-size, striker-fired 9mm pistol that redefined what shooters should expect from a production trigger. The VP9 combines HK's legendary German engineering with a trigger system, the HK Precision Strike system, that delivers a short, smooth take-up, a clean break, and a short, positive reset that rivals custom-tuned guns costing twice as much. The 4.09-inch cold hammer-forged polygonal-rifled barrel is mated to a slide machined from high-grade steel and protected by HK's hostile-environment black finish. Chambered in 9mm Luger.

Ergonomics are a defining characteristic of the VP9: the reinforced polymer frame offers interchangeable backstraps and side panels in three sizes each, providing over 20 grip configuration combinations so the pistol truly fits the shooter's hand. Fully ambidextrous controls, including a paddle magazine release and dual slide releases, ensure the VP9 operates identically for left- and right-handed shooters. Charging the pistol is made easier by HK's distinctive hook-and-wing cocking serrations at the rear of the slide. Whether used for duty, competition, or home defense, the VP9 represents one of the most complete full-size striker-fired pistols on the market.
