I may have to try a VP9L, then. Just for shits and giggles. I mean, as much as the VP9SK looks like it'll be a best-seller, that sub-compact niche is filled in my arsenal. The link says the VP9L mag capacity is 15/20. I'd like to see some 20 round mags for the P30/VP9. but they're probably HK's hideous elephant-foot shit.

I am definitely a Sig nut but I do dabble in HKs from time to time.
Not sure I'd replace my VP9 with a VP9L but it's interesting nonetheless. I think the SK version may be the more compelling variant as it covers a different section of the market, better competing against the offerings of Sig's 320.

I am interested in the optics ready version. The VP9 just works with my hands. I have huge hands so the SK models don't do anything for me. I need a minimum of 5 inches in height and see no reason to put a mag extension on a short barreled double stack. If I ever need to defend my life with a gun I chose not to do it with a 2 finger grip.

Nice. The longslide is particularly attractive to me, especially given how Walther continues to be a letdown in following through with their 5" kit for the PPQ M1, first promised two years ago. Factory 20rd mags is also sweet as well; not looking forward to the pricing, but hopefully they become available before the wretched politicians in my state take us down the horrors of the California rabbit hole.
Good to see it go live but I'm not sure if I want the SK anymore; small pistols and myself don't seem to coalesce well. I buy 'em, then fail to have any desire to put them to use outside of the range. My G43 is a case in point. Spending on "carry-friendly" guns when I won't give up EDCing guns the size of a compact Glock...better spent on other fun guns.
Button release, eh? Now will they use the same magazines? Or is this another PPQ M1 vs M2 annoyance?
