HK P30/VP9 Factory 20 round mags?

Anyone have any info on whether the rumored factory 20 round mags for the P30/ VP9 are still going to come to fruition?

I've not heard any rumors about an OEM 20 round mag from HK. That being said, I've had great luck with the Taylor Freelance +5s. Unfortunately, after $35 for a P30 mag +$35 for an extension (spring included) you're $70 into a 20 round mag.

Yea, I have a Taylor Freelance +5, a HK parts.net +5, and an XTech Tactical +5 and you're right, it's getting pricey. The rumors swirled around the time of the release of the VP9sk and Tactical models. The photos that were released all said "15/20 round mag" under the 'other specifications' section. Hopefully, they'll show up at shot show.

So what is your overall experience with the TF +5's? I have been interested in picking up a few.

I have been waiting for these factory ones as well, but I thought we would see them by now.

The TF +5's have worked flawlessly (one is mine, the other was borrowed from a friend). I've run them for about 2 years and I've ejected/dropped them on concrete and metal 'diamond plate' style floors - they still run like champs. Admittedly, I'm not abusing them like I would if they were cheaper, but I'm definitely going to purchase a few more if I can't get OEMs. Remember to include the spring kit in your order for them, I didn't because I was hurrying and had to go back and order it later. Some people claim they actually hold 21 rounds but I only load them to 20.

The HKparts +5s are solid as well.

Montrala, please tell me that doesn't say 69 euro for an OEM.

I believe it says €69 and 19% tax is included. I think it's a 'proposed' price.

It does. 69 euro including 19% VAT (sales tax). But price for 15rd magazine in Germany is 59 euro, so it is just 10 euro markup here. Much better than paying $40 for TF basepad plus spring alone (plus cost of 15rd mag).

I've got thousands of rounds through a couple different mags with TF base plates... they run great.
