HK new striker fired pistol VP9! Pics inside!

Howdy,

Looks like someone's attempt to make an overpriced Glock.

Linkie no workie.


MSRP of $719 isn't bad. That could put the street price round $650 or so. Not Glock, MP or PPQ esque, but not bad. Wonder what kind of screwed up trigger system they put in there. Maybe just ONCE they locked the lawyers away and put in a system that is actually nice.

If you look at the brochure, they actually have a graph of trigger pull weight vs distance, which shows a longer trigger pull, but a lighter and smoother pull than two "leading competing striker fired pistol triggers".

This. It looks like it's a bit longer, a lot lighter, and has much less stack. I see this, based on that, as a positive development. Can't wait to get my hands on one and see how it feels in real life.

EDIT: Grant, do you know if there are plans for tactical models a la the 45 and 45C? I would love a threaded barrel with night sights on this puppy.

It will be more reliable and accurate than a Glock.

What's the doohickey protruding from the rear of the slide?

Link works. YOu have to let it download (large file).

No no, not glock, but Walther PPQ.

Looks like there is still a trough in the inside bottom of the trigger guard, which is one annoying aspect of the P30. Any reason HK still has those?
Otherwise looks very promising. Wonder if this will affect PPQ sales at all.

[Gingerkid]

No no, not glock, but Walther PPQ.

I swear they look nearly identical.

ETA: but I guess the PPQ looks just like the HK P30

[WickedWillis]

Barring something crazy happening, or it being a total lemon this will be my next HK purchase.

[Sam]

Wonder if this will affect PPQ sales at all.

I doubt it. People who bought PPQ did so because they wouldn't (for many reasons) want to pay over $900 for another German handgun. People who will buy the HK, wouldn't be the people that were eyeing the PPQ in the first place. They can afford to pay more (yes it's encouraging to see that MSRP is less than $800 and street price will be even less), brand loyalty and consider that anything else would be inferior in quality. I'm sure the new HK's quality will be top notch and buyers will be happy.

I'm happy with my PPQ, M&P and CZ P07.
