HK VP9-B Tactical + some cool kit
Actually, there is no VP 9-B Tactical so I decided to make my own. Purchased a factory HK threaded barrel and dropped it in. Heinie Straight Eight suppressor-height sights are inbound and a Griffin Armament Resistance 9 is currently waiting for me in NFA jail.
I personally never had a big problem with paddle style mag releases but there is no doubt I am faster with a standard button. It is also just more intuitive for me so there ya go. I'll update this thread with new photos once I install the sights and receive my can. Only other changes will be getting rid of the cocking assists on the slide and ordering some +5 baseplates for the mags.

I train and compete with a Glock17 in a Safariland 6354DO holster (which the VP9 will not fit) on my belt. Browsing through their website I found that Safariland makes adapters for the UM92 universal military holster so you can use your QLS or MLS fork system. Genius! Who doesn't have a few of those holsters laying around right? I do plan on getting a 6390 holster for the VP9 which will also accommodate the Surefire X300 but getting a holster like that from Safariland in a timely manner right now is simply impossible. So, this will have to do in the meantime but I actually think its pretty cool and being universal I can practice/train/compete with a variety of different pistols on my belt now for only the $24 dollars I spent on the mount.
