I've been thinking about getting a VP9 for awhile but I just wasn't sure, then I found a great deal on a LE model with night sights and 3 mags at HK Specialist for $499. So, if you're in the market for one that's the best deal I've found for the LE package.

For me it is not a issue. I have a bunch of hand guns and have never I thought "oh crap ! I am shooting the blaster with the oddball mag release " feels very intuitive.
Great pistol at a great price !

Enjoy. Just an FYI. IF, If you run into any issues out of the box. Make sure it is cleaned, oiled and run a box or three of hotter or heavier ammo through it. NATO, +P, 147 grain etc. I have found most HKs need a little hot or heavy ammo to break them in before they will run the anemic light stuff. Most HKs are designed as hell for stout go to war guns and might need a little use to run with the cheap light stuff we like to run at the range.

It comes within a few times of shooting it. I regularly switch from a highly modified VP9 for idpa and a sig p220st for CDP division. It really becomes intuitive using you trigger finger or middle finger to release the mag at speed.
At 499 you probably won't loose any money if you decide you don't care for it.

BDMF, HK Specialist has been around awhile and they're a sponsor on HKPRO. When I ordered two days went by and I emailed and asked if my FFL info had been recieved. They responded and said no,they hadn't received anything, so I forwarded the info again and received a tracking number within the hour. You should've gotten a response within a day.

I called and talked to Gordon today. Looks like the FFL may not have responded in a timely manner. He's a nice guy to talk to, I'm looking forward to picking up a P30 from him in the near future.

I had picked up a VP9 towards the end of last year and had problems with some 115 gr loads. Ran a good amount 124 gr loads and haven't had too much of a problem since
feels very intuitive.
