H&K announces VP9/VP40 - in FDE

[MountainRaven]

So Heckler & Koch - in an announcement pretty heavily overshadowed by the SP5K - has launched flat dark earth-framed VP9s and VP40s. Might be of interest to the local FDEosexuals.



Link to Soldier Systems article.

The little sheet from H&K describes the frame color as RAL7008, rather than the RAL8000 that H&K has been using on their FDE guns. But they don't look like RAL7008 - which is a grey-khaki - they look closer to the mustard yellow of RAL8000, or perhaps the FDE H&K was using on the earlier production FDE HK45s and HK45Cs.

Of course, I haven't seen one in real life to compare against RAL8000, either.

It does appear that in rather unusual H&K fashion - instead of being many months or years from now - the FDE VP9s are already shipping in the "LE" configuration (with tritium night sights and three magazines).

I didn't buy from the first batch, but this pic just about made my CC scream.

Uh, count me in. My son wants my black one for his 18th bday.

Looks pretty sweet ! I have been thinking about a 2nd VP9 anyways & this would be a nice addition !

Yep, my FDE fetish will force me to buy this one. Just gotta pick up my P30 first.

HK has new special model SFP9 M (M like MAC I think ), with model prefix 225 and crossed trident and anchor on the slide.

Nice. It is the anti-mud/anti-tank model. So you should be able to throw this one at a tank driven by a tree, after it has been buried in mud and fire it successfully.
