Heckler and Koch VP9SK OR Release Video

[@FM-xr5nj]

I feel the VP9 and VP9SK are the two best striker fired handguns on the market. I've had a VP9 for a few years, it's absolutely my favorite striker fired gun. I purchased the VP9SKa few weeks ago and finally got around to taking it to the range. I love it more than the VP9, shooting tight groups right out of the box. Absolutely my new carry gun, eventually I'll get the optic to go on it, but it's such an amazing shooter. This is the way indeed, Sir.

[@MrScott3060]

I have been a Glock guy for 16 years and carried a Glock 26 but recently upgraded to the H&K VP9sk with the Holosun optic and all I can say is WOW!!!! Love this gun and for a person who's never used an optic I'll never go back to just steel sights,

[@teufelshundtactical]

This is the way

[@mwizardm13]

@Teuflshund, please your opinion on the Holosun SCS "Green"dot for the HK SFP/VP 9 SK OR? Personally I really like the low profile of this setup. Kind regards from a true Thund fan, slowly stacking up on the HK fire arms family in EU area.

[@teufelshundtactical]

It’s great to have options and that one gives you a lower profile, without sitting as high on the weapon, not needing to purchase a mounting plate and not needing the taller sights to be able to see through it.

[@JCamanyag]

@teufelshundtactical, if it's to your interest, California FFLs are finally (after a nine-month delay on their state roster) announcing stocking CA-state compliant models of VP9 and as I'm not exactly sure what VP9-specific "version" internals are being included, would appreciate your review on such details and your feedback on such internals and mandatory features. Thanks!

[@ErikL727]

Great video! Upvoted! At the risk of sounding like a Glock fanboi, the X300 overhangs a G19 by around an inch. Most choose the 19 over the 17 for shorter grip, which also has quite different ergos than the 17. I can shoot a G19 pretty well all day long. The 17 exacerbates the grip angle and feels wrong to me, and a lot of other folks. I'm glad HK is listening to the market and I hope they can speed things up to stay at the forefront of development.

Hello there! Im very interested in this light for my vpsk. Had one question. Is the front rail slit not used when the light is attached. It looks from your vid that the front notch isn’t used? Is that right? And does that make it look a little like a not exact fit (im a big details guy) and just want to ask you if that sort of bothers you? I hate returning things so just curious as to your opinon even though it fits... if it looks mismatched in any way because of that. Thank you sir!

[@teufelshundtactical]

The XSC mounts securely to the receiver. And there is only one cross bar on the light with which to connect to one of the slots on the receiver. I don’t recall which of those slots it is. Another light might secure to a different slot. Which one doesn’t matter, as long as the light fits securely.

[@Hezfree]

Hi James. I'm glad I found your channel. Excellent details and material. l have loved HK since the 80's. After much thought, I finally added a VP9 to collection. However, before I purchased one, I saw this video .Wanted your take on Military Arms Channel (MAC) torture test videos of the VP9?

[@teufelshundtactical]

Thanks. I’m not familiar with your reference, but I’ve been running several VP9 series pistol hard for years and never had an issue with any of them.

[@Hezfree]

@Teufelshund Tactical you. The KZbin channel Military Arms Channel performed a " torture test with water, mud, sand, and it really made the VP9 look untrust worthy. Since I own several HK pistols, I know the quality you get and proceeded to purchase one. I know you're busy, but if you get a chance, check the channel and video out. Not sure if HK is aware of thus video.

[@SpeakTruthKindly]

Love the expertise and content. Would you consider a VP9SK vs P30SK LEM comparison video? And I’d love to see them release an optics ready P30SK LEM to match the VP9SK!

[@teufelshundtactical]

Agreed. An OR update to the P30 series has been in high demand. As for a comparison video, the P30SK and VP9SK are basically the same except for the trigger/fire control system (DA/SA or Enhanced DAO Hammer Fired vs Striker Fired). It really comes down to which you specifically prefer.

[@SpeakTruthKindly]

@@teufelshundtactical For appendix carry, the safety of thumb control on the hammer when holstering is attractive. But I understand your rationale. Just curious, is that 15 rd VP9 mag compatible on the P30SK? I’ve heard that the VP and P30 mags are interchangeable. Thanks.

[@teufelshundtactical]

What I teach my students and I have come to modify for myself is to adjust my grip. By moving my firing hand thumb from where it used to rest against the weapon, to now rest above the support hand thumb, I no longer have to worry about it "riding" the slide stop/release. It takes practice to break the old habits (from my 1911 days), but when I use this technique I don't have the problem anymore.

I don’t understand what you mean by “optics red light”. Are you asking for a recommendation for an optic or a light? The optics and lights are compatible with either the standard VP9 or VP9SK. But for me, with the larger size of the VP9, I have the Trijicon SRO mounted as the optic and the Surefire X300 as the light.

There is not currently a slide only option from H&K. I would advise against sending your slide out to have it cut and instead put that money towards the OR pistol.

I inquired if maybe it was custom, to which they replied, “No, we don’t do that.” Could you give me a lead where I might find a holster? Many thanks.

[@teufelshundtactical]

It’s from Tier 1. You are correct. They do not offer a holster for that light. But they offer a holster for other lights, so I did the simple task of getting the dimensions of my light and comparing that against the dimensions of the lights they offered holsters for. When I found one that was slightly larger than my light, I went with it and it worked out. This is a simple trick that I have used for years with holster companies that unfortunately they have not figured out themselves.

Hej Mate, I really really like your H&K videos. During my service time we used soooo many H&K products, my absolute favorite was/is the P30. I totally agree with you, you should caring two flashlights in your EDC setup and not only one mounted on your handgun. Anyway, I think it's a good idea to have a flashlight that protrudes past the length of the barrel! In a Close Quarter Environment/ CQB you might have to press the handgun against a person/animal. When the slide of the handhun gets pulled back ever so slightly then it doesn't allow the trigger to be fired or loading a new round in the chamber. Having a malfunction in this situation is the worst conceivable starting point for any life or death scenario. . . . . . .

[@teufelshundtactical]

Thanks. I have seen numerous instances where people have tried to use weapon mounted lights on pistols in that capacity and the result is either the light becoming separated from where it mounts onto the pistol or separating and taking that part of the receiver and the front of the trigger guard with it. Though the idea of using a weapon mounted light as a blunt object, with which to strike an adversary, may seem like a good idea, I would suggest that experience says otherwise.

[@surfinoperator]

I have heard of no such plans at this time.

[@rmitch131]

@@teufelshundtactical hopefully they do. I’ve thought about sending my slide to Primary Machine but I’d rather get an OEM slide. I sent my VP9 to Parker Mountain and they did a good job. Thanks for your time, keep up the great work!

[@rmitch131]

Just got the new SK today. Traded in my old one. What model holster is that from Tier 1. I also picked up the Surefire light. The guys at the store saw I grabbed the hellcat model and they said it would not fit. I had to correct them because of this video. Thanks!

[@teufelshundtactical]

@@rmitch131 I ordered the Axis Slim with TLR-7A. The fit is a bit snug at first, but broke in fine.

Where u get the beam from

[@teufelshundtactical]

What? If you mean the light, I cover it in the video.

[@JoshuaGarcia-ub7ny]

what suppressor sight are you using in the vp9sk

[@teufelshundtactical]

H&K sent me their sights to install.

[@thequietmerc]

Does anyone have issues with the VP9SK magazines (in my case the 15 rounds mags) not locking back? Mine fail to lock back constantly when I rack the slide on an empty mag.

[@FREEDOMGUNNER]

What ammo do you recommend for self-defense for this VP9-SK specifically?

[@teufelshundtactical]

I’m a big fan of Speer Gold Dot and G2.

[@matthewleecote6885]

James, Thanks for the video. I picked my VP9SK-OR last Friday. I am a huge fan of this series. Gun is fantastic like it’s predecessor. What company made that holster? Very interested in that HK PRO event. Thanks again. Matt

[@teufelshundtactical]

Thanks. The holster is from Tier One Concealed.

[@zyzzuschrist3410]

Would you recommend the p30sk v1 lem over the Vp9sk optic ready? Looking into getting my first HK. Or better yet, what first HK for all around, edc, self defense, home defense would you recommend?

[@teufelshundtactical]

Both are great options, but comes down to whether you prefer hammer fired or striker fired.

[@matthewleecote6885]

James, One more question if you dont mind. I went to Tier one to order my holster for my new sk. I run lights on my guns and all are surefire. Tier one does not have the SF XSC as an option. They have the Streamlight 7, 7A. Is the XSC close to either one. Thank you again for your time.

[@teufelshundtactical]

I ordered the TLR-7A, as it is a bigger light than the XSC.

[@matthewleecote6885]

[@mascasa7502]

Hi, James. Assuming you've been shooting and carrying the VP9sk for awhile, what are your thoughts on it? Which magazine capacity and/or pinky extension do you use? Many thanks!

[@teufelshundtactical]

I'm very happy with it. When it first came out, there were four mag options: 10 round flush base, 10 round pink extension base, 13 round extended grip and 15 round extended grip. Recently, all the mags are now offered with 2 more rounds of capacity. So, I carry the gun with the updated 15 round extended grip and run the 17 round extended grip for a spare.

[@mascasa7502]

@@teufelshundtactical Outstanding! Thanks for your time.

[@alexvega3745]

I was curious about those holsters, what model did you option out? The light bearing holsters I saw didn’t have the XSC as an option. Did you select the x300?

[@teufelshundtactical]

I chose the TLR, after checking its dimensions against the Surefire light I had and finding that mine was just a little smaller.

[@alexvega3745]

@@teufelshundtactical Awesome, thank you so much.

[@mascasa7502]

Hi, James. Under what circumstances would you recommend carry of a VP9 over a VP9SK? I'm wondering if the larger grip of the VP9 aids pistol manipulation enough to matter.

[@teufelshundtactical]

The extended 13 and 15 round mags for the VP9SK can give you a fuller grip like that of the VP9. I always recommend carrying the smallest handgun that you can accurately shoot and that is reliable. Most people fall victim to one that is just too small. Carrying a larger pistol than you “need” can lead to issues with concealment, but if you can get away with it, you have the benefit of things like higher mag capacity, longer sight radius, a better recoil reduction system, etc.

[@mascasa7502]

@@teufelshundtactical Awesome. Thanks for your time and insight!

[@gnomereviews]

Will co witness irons or suppressor height sights be available? That would complete the look as you mentioned. Looks good brother.

I mention ordering them in the video, so yes.

That holster looks really really bulky......is this so?.......I have the same vp9sk although mine isn't optic ready ill never find it here and I don't feel like waiting so the boys at my local gun shop are milling it as we speak with the holosun thats especially made for the vp9......im now looking for a light aswell and tier 1 and tulster are my favorite holsters but that tier 1 looks awful thick.....how does it really conceal?

It works great. No thicker than Amoy of the other Tier holsters.

How did you gwt tier 1 to make that holster foe the hellcat light id only the 2 options are the TLR 7 and TLR 7A?.....did you have to call them?.....they obviously kept the mold....can you help me get mine done aswell?

Hi There, I have the P30SK with OEM 13 and 15 Rd Mag, I've heard you can buy the HK OEM Conversion Kit (15rd to 17Rd) and install them on 13rd OEM mag to make it 15rd. I was wondering if you've try that? I personally don't like how the 15rd Feels and extends but loved the 13rd OEM Mag. The I love my P30SK is there any reason for me to buy a P30? The P30L might be too big for my liking.

[@teufelshundtactical]

I have not tried it myself, but have heard the same.
