HK VP9A1 Launch Video

[@FirearmEnthusiast]

I'd really like to see you guys bring the USP line into 2025. Still the greatest pistol in your guys' lineup.

[@Kevin-s7s]

I bought the hk45 and fully regretted not getting a usp.

[@Kevin-s7s]

And. Well. If you really wanted an optic cut or whatever you can get it done or buy one from Langdon

[@FirearmEnthusiast]

@@Kevin-s7s I have the Wright Armory I-dot as well a couple of modern improvements on my USP. Would be nice to get all of that direct from HK themselves though.

[@Anonymous8421]

​@@Kevin-s7s same thing happened to me

[@Kevin-s7s]

@@Anonymous8421 I really don’t know why either. I had a vp40 too. The vp9 is like a scalpel but you change the same basic design to another caliber and it’s just not the same. The hk45 just seemed big. It was also the variant 7 lem. Ive had the p30l. It never functioned properly so I couldn’t really get good with it. The p2000 was like the serious underrated piece. I should’ve never traded it. I had it for years and it was so good i guess it got boring. I could pull and point shoot one round pretty consistently anywhere. It’s like ok. What more would i need to do.

After 37 years in law enforcement, with majority as the Commander of the Dignitary Protection Unit (DPU), and instructing numerous courses in Executive Protection, I will always carry what has carried me all these years. My H&K, and now my VP9A1 is my main!

Stop you’re making me pre! 🤤

[@SacrificiaLamb.8R]

[@timunderbakke8756]

These are exciting, but I really want to see the A1 changes come along into the other designs. Please make it so. I think you’d be surprised how well they do

[@brandoncatone2857]

Please bring the SFP9CC to the US market!

[@hag12100]

They did, they're calling it the CC9. (Unless you want the European version).

[@DP-jaja]

@@hag12100is it really the same?

[@bubbalawrence1]

@@hag12100 it is not the same, CC9 is a gun designed from the ground up as it’s own model. SFP9cc is a derivative of the SFP9

[@ryand.3858]

@@DP-jaja Nope. Sadly it’s a completely different gun. The CC9 was designed for the American concealed carry market, the SFP9CC was created to address an order from German government agencies. Maybe we will see it someday in the US but I’m not holding my breath.

[@DP-jaja]

@@ryand.3858 that’s what I thought the CC9 was developed by HK USA.

[@pistongreg]

What about the HK Usp 9mm?

[@Sierra_Tango_5]

Nice. All the pluses: > Removed trigger-trough inside the trigger-guard (thank you Geezuhz!). > x2 More backstraps. > Improved trigger assembly. > Improved, flared magwell. > Recessed magazine floorplates for forced, manual magazine changes. > Textured paddle magazine release. The only negative (for me) is the removal of the subtle finger grooves. That said, I think they should have kept the top finger groove as a relief cut under the trigger-guard. The extended 20-round magazine needs to be a 22 24--rounder for that length. Otherwise, we need VP9 A1 framed Tacticals to market. A VP9K A1 with a shorter slide would be nice. And the more I think about it, removing the finger-grooves on the VP9, in particular, that "squeeze a bar of soap until it fits your hand" perfectly feel, is one of the benefits of the VP9. HK should have kept them IMHO, AND, gone to a chassis system.

[@Jedo17]

God Damn Marketing Team got me all excited watching this video.....

[@sultanofsick]

I like the finger grooves, fit me well

[@WPSent]

I will say I loved the VP9 and P30 finger groves. They fit my hand so well. Otherwise, give me a VP9A1 Tactical or L model and I'm down. Also if you could give us a P30LA1 model, that'd be awesome too!

[@vitogrimes6006]

People just want an updated USP line, not VP9.

[@kerryschwidde2344]

HK, amazing manufacturer. 💓

[@jamisonbarlow7930]

Will this be able to take the vp9L 5in upper??

[@Shingodzilla138Xbox]

will you keep the USP Match available for purchase?, because id like to get it someday

[@fearlessleader8623]

Derek is the man!

[@RighteousLiberty]

Please release these in OD Green frames out the gate along with the CC9 in OD Green frames too.

[@bubbalawrence1]

Tactical SKU when?!?!

[@ajdinzutic]

New match or with 5.5" barrel please.

[@darud3sandst0rm]

Is there going to be a B model with a thumb magazine release like with the original VP9?

[@jeffking1406]

I have asked this a few places. No one has answered.

[@scooba_guy4615]

The P2000 V3 DA/SA 9mm that I purchased 6 years ago is a fantastic pistol. My only major complaint is that the mags are only 13 rds. That gun should be 15 rds minimum.

[@Seamasr2112]

Will there be a new version of the SK with the A1 updates?

[@RetropPM]

Not as of right now; the plan is for the current VP9 and VP9sk to be discontinued.

[@EverSpaceTime]

"let's get rid of finger grooves and call it new". Years later they will bring back the grooves and call it revolutionary.

[@nadawg4]

On paper, when people were speculating (correctly) that we were going to get a new VP9 model, I was disappointed. Now seeing what has actually gone into this weapon's development, I'm optimistic that this will be worth my money to acquire and compete with. Looks like we got some fantastic changes. Here's hoping we get more A1 pistols like a new P30 or USP.

[@bikeracerdude]

Love the vp9-B. Would like to see a short HK vid w/ the two pistols- vp9 & vp9a1- side by side, noting the differences.

[@awokeone7997]

Will the new VP9 trigger bar be compatible with the older Vp9?

[@user-lv8cv8sv2f]

I talked to an HK rep on the phone, he didn't think so. He wasn't sure.

[@awokeone7997]

@user-lv8cv8sv2f typical HK rep answer but more than likely it will

[@chokishin2038]

Hello can we get a semi only civilian legal mp7?

[@WisSota_Boy]

Never cared for the VP9 because it was considered a compact size but never really fit that category for concealment until now! The VP9K A1 will be added to my pile of pistols for sure.

[@Philmoscowitz]

So when do these hit the gun stores?

[@Indica_Cobra]

When will these be available?

[@jamest1955]

Will the current VP9 threaded barrel fit the new A1 models?

[@irafowlerjr.7492]

First class handgun, thanks

[@thebernice6062]

H&K, I love you, but I feel I need to say this. The VP9 is great and I own several, some of these upgrades are good incremental upgrades for the main VP9 line. However, there's nothing here worth upgrading to a new frame for. If the longer frame one was a match version, with a comp, ported barrel, and an adjustable trigger, then MAYBE it would be interesting. I know Glock has the rights to the new Aimpoint optic mounting system that gets rid of the plates, but that would be an upgrade worth the money. Almost 50 years ago you designed a gas operated, fixed barrel, squeeze cocking pistol that people obsess over and pay obscene prices on the used market for to this day. Give us something like that. Make a match gun that puts the Laugo Alien to shame and looks good doing it. Make a defensive handgun that's designed to defeat all levels of soft armor. Let those German minds in Oberndorf loose on the stale pistol market.

HK VP9 in the best compact pistol in the USA.

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

I still love the P2000. I’m old skool-ish

[@DIYDad1]

Hope it's compatible with existing vp9 and vp9sk holsters, accessories, and magazines, because this looks like a real winner, not reinventing the wheel just improving upon an already well proven and great platform.

[@concealedcarry]

It is compatible with most existing VP9 holsters. It is compatible with all your VP9 magazines

[@PurcellAdam]

I loved the grooves, though.

[@COMMANDERHAWK22]

This will pair well with the MR556 A4

[@Platoon_Guide]

Two questions: 1. Does the extended mag fit in the USPSA CO gauge? 2. Does the K Model fit in the IDPA CCP Box. For the record I carry a VP9B for work but it doesn’t meet my competition needs. Thanks

[@jaholland42]

Love

[@kassenz]

This is the VP9 I've been waiting for! I have a HK USP45f and USP45c, which I love, but this has the features that fixes the issue preventing me from "pulling the trigger" on the first gen VP9. I like the flared magwell, and the optics cut. I really disliked the VP9/HK45 "Spiderman" web finger groove grips too. Maybe worth selling my M&P? This VP9 won't require a DPM spring or APEX trigger. Just box stock ready for weekend matches

[@bushcraft6884]

[@GREVVBY]

Epic

[@willieluv]

I need to see an adverse condition test on your new pistol. I use to owe 3 of them the trigger let me down and anything going in the back of the slide makes gun not operate. You’re p30 is far superior

[@willieluv]

@ I wish I had I actually took training classes with vp9 and my experience was not that good. The trigger on all 3 of them did not reset during rapid fire under stress sent them to hk nothing they were all ok according to hk . Okay I dropped the pistol on a small puddle of water and grit while transitioning back to rifle. Totally my fault I get it but the pistol was dead. I have seen canik pistol’s do better. Either way I went back to Glock but I do have a p30 that really outdid the Glock pistol in one class I took. If you go to the flat range and shoot I am sure it’s good to go but I do a lot of training not in the flat range (hobby) vp 9 not so good. I thought it will be a good idea to post something critical so HK can address it. I can’t be the only one.

@@ajac45 and you could get both and have a full size and compact system to train with for consistency. They have the price way racked up imo at the moment. Not seeing a thousand dollar vp9.

[@ajac45]

@@Kevin-s7s Absolutely, HK does tend to be on the pricier side, but you’re not alone in thinking that. The quality and reliability they offer usually make it worth the investment for many. Having both models could definitely help with consistent training.

[@ajac45]

@@gonzodemon2087 😅 Not a shill-just a fan sharing what I think.

[@Kevin-s7s]

@ I think Glock is more reliable. But the vp is a way better shooter like shoot ability accuracy. It’s a tack driver.

[@ajac45]

@@Kevin-s7s Absolutely, Glocks are super reliable, but the VP really does excel in accuracy and shootability. BTW, have you seen the new G17L MOS long slide? It has a solid slide without the "coffin cuts," which boosts its accuracy and speed. Pretty cool upgrade.
