I know I shouldn't have done it. I have other more important things to do with my money. But I just couldn't pass up the great price and 4 Mag promotion!

Yep... I ordered a VP9...with the grey frame. I knew I would kick myself in a few months if I didn't take advantage of the promotion. Now to just wait until it comes in to my FFL.....

Thank you. I am inspired to look into the VP9.

VP9 is a great shooter, I prefer it to the P320

These stupid deals are killing me. They are a great gun and with the extra mags,it is almost a no brainer.

I've been looking too! I handled a grey one at a show this weekend. Looked nice and felt great. One is probably in my future too!

Yup, that's a great promotion they've got going on, considering what HK mags usually go for.

We got a couple of the gray framed VP9s a few days back; not a bad color though the gun in black to me still looks best. It's however definitely better than that food-poisoning, diarrhea-inspired shade HK called "FDE" for previous VP9s.

HK's FDE is pretty bad. I'm not sure what they're thinking. Maybe the employee that came up with that color was a secret agent from Glock.

Congrats. I agree these deals this year have been great. I'm sure gun sales are bad for the manufacturers so they have to drive business somehow. Hopefully they stop with the deals cause I'm going broke buying them all because I have no will power to turn them down Big Grin

That is a GREAT deal

While, generally, I am not a fan of striker fired pistols, I was thinking about buying one. Even if just to have in my teaching inventory.

However I just painted the house, remodeled the kitchen and put new flooring down in the handloading room plus other household improvements that I decided to not spend the money.

These are the things I SHOULD be spending my money on. I have a basement room that needs to be remodeled, two bathrooms that need remodeling, and a few other items. I'll get to them soon....I'm in the remodeling business, so home renovations are a bit of a "bussman's holiday" for me. But I know they need to get done.....eventually.

Those mags are $50 a piece in my neck of the woods (more like arid desert wasteland). Sounds like you did good! The VP9 was my birthday gun this year and it's a nice pistol. I predict you'll be very happy with it.

I'm thoroughly in love with my VP9 and VP9sk. I suspect you guys will be very happy with your purchases.

Dry,can i ask how recoils is,and what you would compare 115 grain wwb to a glock or sw mp and the vp 9.That 4 mag program is a big deal,as those mags also fit the p30 gun,and the hk guys will always buy a few extra mags

Congrats!! I have 2 including the grey one. I love them. Just know you will need to run some strong ammo through it for the first 15-200 rounds. The vp9 now has the same recoil spring as the vp40, and it's noticeably stiffer. Congrats again!

Recoil, to me, is very manageable. I have had no issues with 115 or 124gr in either the VP9 or sk. Oddly, I actually shoot the sk a little bit better than the VP9.... but that's got to all be in my head. I'm currently Glock free, but owned probably 8-10 over the years. I do have a 2.0 M&P though, that is one sweet shooter. Muzzle flip is hard to determine- VP9 or 2.0 The M&P is a really "flat" shooter, but I think the VP9 may be more accurate. Hope that helps some, sounds like a lot of conjecture!
