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

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.

The Great Equalizer
| 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.

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

Tuesday was gone when I told her my name is the breeze.
| 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!
