Glock has Much, much, more aftermarket support as well as parts availability. With the VP9, parts availability is limited to either Hk parts net or HKUSA (HKUSA is always cheaper) As far as carrying it goes, A lot of how well either pistol carries depends on the person's build, holster as well as other factors, for some, the G19 is better, others VP9. There is no "one size fit's all" here. One has to go with what works for them. Myself, I carry a G19, I can shoot it faster, more accurately than the VP9. I'm guessing, But, I think the lower bore axis of the Glock really comes into play here, as I've shot both side by side, and I've noticed for me, it takes longer for the VP9's front sight to settle down vs the Glock's. That, and the timer doesn't lie. One other thing.. price.. you are aware that HK is supposedly planning on hiking the price of the VP9 once production resume's aren't you? (If true, that's a huge mistake) One thing where the VP9 shined was on price, very competitive to Glock..raise that price by say $50-100 and your average Joe looking to buy a CCW will give the VP9 a glance on his way down to the Glock/M&P end of the counter... The reality is, they're both good pistols, for most people there isn't really an advantage with either, as most people are unable to shoot the guns to their full accuracy potential...
