\"H&K's
H&K’s most popular handgun, the VP9, has been updated.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Heckler and Koch’s most popular handgun has been the VP9<\/a>. This year, they’ve made noteworthy updates to keep this gun current with shooters’ expectations. True Pearce spent some time with the new VP9 at the range at SHOT Show 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VP9’s barrel is just over 4″ long and the overall length is 7.34″. That barrel is finished with polygonal rifling, which H&K has been using for decades on their pistols. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"H&K's
The 4.09″ barrel has highly efficient polygonal rifling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"H&K's
17-round magazines are now standard.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

H&K was also an early adopter of polymers in their guns. The VP9 makes good use of its polymer frame with interchangeable grip panels. Many guns come with a couple of backstrap options to fit the shooter’s hand better, but the VP9 also has changeable side panels as well so it can be set up asymmetrically for a truly custom grip. There are 27 possible setups, and the gun ships with all the panels included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"H&K's
The grips and straps are changeable in 27 combinations.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another update is the new iron sights. The front is a high visibility dot, and the rear sights are deep-cut and blacked with serrations to reduce glare. The gun’s 7″ length makes for a 6.38″ sight radius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"H&K's
Its front sight is a high visibility dot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another significant update is that all VP9 models will now be optics-ready. They have five different plates for the popular sights ready to go and they’ll ship with the plate for the optic the customer wants to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"H&K's
All VP9 models are now optic-ready with 5 plate options.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"H&K's
You can order the gun with the optics plate of your choice.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The standard magazine is updated to a 17-round mag. American customers will be glad to see that the magazine catch has been changed to a U.S.-style button<\/a> as an option instead of a lever on the trigger guard. The trigger remains one of the best striker-fired triggers on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these updates, Heckler & Koch’s venerable VP9<\/a> pistol is ready for many more years of service. The new VP9 is shipping now, and the MSRP is $799 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
