Experience with HK VP9L

[boltstop]

Hello all,

Interested in your experiences with the HK VP9L.

This will be a range gun only to improve my marksmanship and have fun with. Not a carry gun.

I have a USP 45 Expert so am ok with HK guns.

Thanks in advance.

Can't give you much of a review beyond initial impressions, but out of the box they're pretty much what you'd expect of HK quality. Nicely balanced, extremely comfortable in the hand, not phenomenal but a more than decent trigger, everything is smooth, locks up nicely, and they look really cool, which we all know is probably the most important aspect when buying a gun. Seriously though, they're nice. Didn't have any desire to buy one until I had it in my hand. I've owned and shot multiple other HKs in my time, so I can only imagine the VP9L is a pleasure to shoot as well.

Real question is when will shops have them available. From what I've heard, there's only been a handful of people who have gotten one, and it was the only one in the shop

There are some shops here and there that have gotten them which is why I've gotten to handle them all, but who knows when they'll actually become widely available. And yes, I've also heard they got only 1 of each model without any word of when there will be more, which makes sense considering HK doesn't really give a damn about the civilian market and does things whenever the hell they feel like it.

Thanks for the info. Much obliged.

Anyone else with some experience to share?

Amazing platform. I’m buying the VP9SK and VP9L for CCW and USPSA Carry Optics respectively. Got to shoot all three at the Route 66 Range Expo. Very satisfied with the gun.

I have a VP9 and bought a VP9L barrel and slide last year. Gun is so easy to shoot its almost boring. Its the gun I take to the few pistol classes I've taken.
