Gun of the Month: the Heckler and Koch VP9

THE HECKLER AND KOCH VP9

The Heckler and Koch VP9 is the newest handgun in HK’s handgun line up.  Named the VP9 which stands for “Volkspistole” or People’s pistol seems more like Jeff’s Pistol because of its phenomenal ergonomic grip that seems it was made to fit my hand perfectly.  The one I test fired had a clean crisp trigger break that I thought was better than a stock Glock handgun.  The Law Enforcement model comes with 3 magazines and night sights which I feel are a must in a self-defense handgun.

Also included are 3 changeable back straps and six side panels so it will fit most any hand!  The VP9 is also a truly ambidextrous in that it has the all the controls on both sides of the gun.

The polygonal barrel helps increase muzzle velocity and longer barrel life, making it an excellent choice for those who frequent the firing range. HK, renowned for their quality firearms, has extensively tested the barrel and fired over 90,000 rounds through their test gun.

If you’re considering this model, I recommend opting for the LE (Law Enforcement) version, which includes an extra magazine and night sights. With the LE model, you’ll have a total of 46 rounds of 9mm ammunition at your disposal, ensuring extended shooting sessions without the need for frequent reloading.

So, whether you’re engaging in target practice or participating in shooting competitions at the firing range, this firearm’s features and capacity make it a reliable and practical choice.
