HK VP9SK vs Glock 26 vs S&W M&P9C

[@colkilgore9973]

VP9SK, you don’t need to pull the trigger to release the slide. The barrel is made from Rheinmetall stock, same spec steel as in their Leopard II tanks, guaranteed for at least 70,000 rounds. You don’t need to screw around with an aftermarket trigger, potentially seriously compromising the reliability of the pistol. The HK is the M5 super coupe, the others are Accords and Camrys.

[@spankyboy123]

I have owned all 3 guns , best trigger , best ergos , best built , vp9sk all the way.

[@beechris1815]

Vp9sk all day long.

[@brian25301]

And the winner is... The HK VP9SK!!! Those other two may be fine entry level weapons. But if you want something truly exceptional, don't compromise. get an HK.

[@stantonsquare7064]

This has to be one of the best review videos ive seen. He's very clear and easy to understand. Gets the info out without a bunch of stalling. I prefer the HK VP9sk, but theyre all great guns, not knocking the others.

[@ProjectArms4719]

Stanton Square I agree, this channel is one of few I visit for detail and informative reviews

[@JacksonWalter735]

Love the Glock 26. It's tiny and the best for conceal carry to me. Plus it's compatible with all the larger Glock mags that I own if I want higher capacity/more grip length. I do think the Glock 26 presents the worst value out of of 3 pistoks here, but what it comes with is still great for conceal carry which would be my primary reason for getting a Glock 26. The HK VP9sk is a great gun with superior ergonomics and trigger, but I'm just more accurate with my Glock and prefer the button release. If you change out the sights and trigger on the Glock it's around the same price as a VP9. Many people who complain about the VP9 being more expensive needs to consider how much more the VP9 brings to the table straight from HK themselves.

EXACTLY

[@JohnnyBravo02]

I started with glocks , I got into M&P 2.0 series because I got the 10mm and the FPC and liked them. I got the subcompact as my new EDC because I liked they offer trigger safety’s and I got the subcompact over the shield because it is like the Glock 26 and accepts the larger magazines from the full sized and compact models and it’s versatile in the same ways . With that being said , HK VP9s have been my dream gun since I got into guns but it costs a lot more and the local shops didn’t have any when the covid spree happened. So I got a Glock 17 because it’s what was available and I knew I could trust it . I love my glocks / daggers and M&Ps but I wish I would’ve just invest in the VP9 and VP9sk that come with the Holosun SCS because I still can’t stop thinking about them. They’re so nice , lesson learned. “Buy once , cry once” as they say.

[@dabate34]

You do not have to pull the trigger on the VP9sk when taking the gun apart.

[@williammoon2959]

Honestly, I don't see why people are so petrified by the thought of pulling a trigger on an unloaded gun. Just make sure there isn't any rounds in the gun and pull the trigger. I do it all the time with my guns and never once had any problems.

[@zonkeymaker]

William Moon as a gun manufacturer knowing they’re going to sell thousands of guns to people who will collectively clean their guns thousands of times, the better design is one where nobody pulls the trigger unless expecting to fire a round

[@JAlex-ng1mu]

I've never had to pull the trigger on vp9 to release slide...its one reason I like it...

[@PoeOutdoors]

Nice work on the review. The VP9sk is my favorite carry gun by far. By the way, I'm a fellow Hoosier and just subbed.

[@MarksmanTV]

Hey thanks for watching and subbing! I really appreciate it. If you are ever in the Westfield area, come by and see the store!

[@athroop1321]

Also a Hoosier! B-Town! Subbed!

[@kenn712]

You don't have to pull the trigger when field stripping the Vp9 sk

[@Fight4freedom.]

I really love all 3. I have all my pistols in Glock platform so I’m sticking with Glock but you cannot go wrong with any of these .love the HK and M&P.

[@LatestHour]

I own the M&P9C and I think the FNS9C is the best choice out of all of these.

[@jorgie1625]

Great review.. on point.. just ordered my vp9sk thanks to your review... you just earned a new subscriber..

[@brendanphillips8448]

Jorge Alfaro thanks for watching, glad I could help

[@MassiveLoop]

M&p 9c is running about $350 at some shops online. For that price it just took the lead and waiting patiently for my FFL delivery. I thought S&W included the shell casing from the factory test fire in the box with the gun?

[@jamiedillon1953]

S&W rep said they stopped doing that several years ago. I love this pistol. I swap between this and the shield for edc.

[@edward9285]

I'm loving my Vp9sk, can't speak to the others!

[@venomgt7299]

You missed the most important part of it, how do they actually SHOOT?

[@albertm.santos6403]

Vp9sk all the way...

[@krono5el]

just got an hk vp9sk for 480, great gun.

[@bradleydenison4305]

Kal El whered you find that price? Lowest ive found so far is 499

[@krono5el]

mr. gun dealer and it was actually 473

[@zonkeymaker]

I bought mine for over 600 🙄🙄🙄

[@wreckagevic]

My times have changed. I just bought a new one for $900. There incredibly hard to find but I wanted one to compliment my VP9

[@TheDuke-n7o]

Not sure about the glock having the polygonal rifling but i do know that the hk has polygonal rifling and you didn't mention it having it on the vp9sk. Did you get the barrels mixed up. Very good review but can you clarify the barrels?

[@MarksmanTV]

Hey thanks for watching! You are correct, the VP9SK does use polygonal rifling. I went off on a tangent about the Glock polygonal rifling and omitted touching back on the VP9SK. Thank you for mentioning it in your questions. There is alot of internet conjecture as to weather Glock has moved from polygonal to hexagonal rifling in their pistols now. Some say that certain models use polygonal, whereas some of their models have moved back to traditional rifling... I can't find a definitive answer on this. I did recently do a video on the Glock 17 and Canik TP9SA, and I did find on Glock's website that the Gen 4 Glock 17 has traditional rifling in it. Thanks again for your comment and thanks for watching!

[@leerx7015]

👍can’t wait to order the new gen5 g26

[@small-town-southern-man3573]

I own all three. While Glock would be my choice in a SHTF/zombie apocalypse situation, I’d go with the M&P9c out of these three for normal life scenarios. Just as reliable as the Glock, METAL sights from the factory, 12-rounds vs 10 in the others. And WAY cheaper. I got my M&P9C for $400. My G26s were $475-$550, and my VP9SK was $600.

[@metatronmen2431]

The VP9 is a superior gun.

[@cbwelch4]

I have a 9c. The stock trigger sucks, but you can get an Apex Duty Kit for $50 that makes the trigger a LOT better. I’m a lot more accurate with it since I did. I can’t get the VP9Sk here, but I choose my gun over the P230Sk, which has the same dimensions. The butt is wide on the Hk and it is harder to conceal IMO.

[@pigpaul]

Excellent review,hello from Vegas. Subbed also! 💯

[@stevenjacobs6934]

I own a g26g3 and an m&p9c...the glock is awesome but I can group like hickock with my mp9c...

[@mikec9636]

Thanks for a very good review.

[@mr.lastname4929]

Good review. I wish canik made a sub compact. My tp9sf elite is just a tad too big to comfortably conceal carry but it is a dream to shoot.

[@nicocabrera7675]

Love my 26 Gen4. Not sure why you bothered to show the Gen3?

[@darylragland1502]

GEN 3 IS KING

[@devonnestanley]

Great video 👍🏾

[@khmergodhobbies]

that vp9sk is good looking, but it is so fat for a subcompact

[@Roamingeast]

its not fat. its muscular lol

[@spitfiremac]

Drift adjustability is so stupid for carry handguns. Dovetails are a way of securing them against abuse and such, but who has ever had to windage adjust their rear or front sights for that matter? There's no cheekweld, so the centerline is most important.

[@chzzyg2698]

A while back when the VP9 was new on the market I was looking for a good starter pistol for competitions. The competition part hasn't panned out yet, but my final three options came down to the VP9, Steyr L9A1, and Springfield XDm 5". They're all great pistols. I'd like to have all three, well two of them now that Springfield is in the fire, but the other is still on my wish list even for comparison sake. Anyway, I chose the Steyr L9A1. It came down to cost which was very close being that they were all in the same price group and the Steyr has a longer barrel length. I'm happy with it, it's one of my favorite pistols in my collection, but I still want a VP9. It's very comparable. I consider it as a slightly more expensive cousin of the M9A1 Steyr.

[@Kyle_gallegher]

ill be buying a sw7 to go with my 9c and 40c

[@steverussell6642]

Nice

[@jamieeisenhower1560]

Smith & Wesson number 1

[@nicocabrera7675]

Love the HK but hate the magazine release. Glock 26 shot best with least recoil plus I use my g19 mags with it

[@Mrsaylessnotmore]

Vp9sk is best gun but not enough to pay 200 dollars more than mp 9c.. more rounds in mp and similar trigger..

[@ariesbaby7449]

Never Had A H&K VP9 SK. Can't Speak On That One. I Do Love My H&K USP'S. And P2000's. I Do Own A Gen 1 S&W M&P 9c. I Had A Gen 3 Glock 26. I Prefer The M&P 9c Over The Glock 26.

[@rahxfeng]

BWM vs Toyota vs Honda

[@Daliahsdad]

Lmao dead on

[@LostSoul3699]

Your choice?

[@cbwelch4]

Opinions are great, but this would have been better with shooting impressions/comparisons like Justin Opinion does. That’s a let down. It would make the review more valuable.

[@357mangum]

VP9sk better gun but dang the M&P carries 5 more rounds?!

[@shanefields196]

Chris Mangum Sr 2 more.

[@toynazi]

You should have looked at the H&K P30sk instead of the VP9sk. Not saying that the VP is a crap gun. I just think te P30 sk is a little better than it.

[@stantonsquare7064]

And you would be the only one to think that. The P30sk is being traded in all the time for the 9sk, I cant recall one person trading the 9sk in for the P30sk.

[@toynazi]

@Dio Black I'm very aware of the differences. I guess you are the daily internet gun genius? Yah for you! Dumbass. You are two years late to party genius.😖😖

[@djz2308]

Is it really a review if you don't express much of a preference?

[@brian25301]

I think you're right. It's more considered a report if there are no preferences provided.

[@aaronhuffstetler5243]

Mpc!!

[@dummkompf]

here we DOOOO see a youtube video

[@MarksmanTV]

That's the most observant comment I've seen yet :-D

[@SlytigerSurvival]

Smith and Wesson M&P is a joke. Their barrels are atrocious and are some of the most inaccurate pistols with crap triggers I've ever shot.

[@PatriotSteve]

Slytiger i've shot many M&P and they've all been extremely accurate. The news Shields have a very nice trigger. The HK fails if it gets wet, or dirty. Fact.

[@toynazi]

That's nonsense! The M&P 9c is a great shooter. Far better than the G26. Also the newer shields

[@davidfernandes920]

My experience with the Smith &Wesson is very positive. More accurate than the Glock 26 and Easier to shoot and field strip.

[@PatriotSteve]

Slytiger not according to the cops i've talked to from different police departments. They all say good things about S&W.

[@toynazi]

What do you carry? Let me guess, Glock?

[@brianwilson8550]

Glock is hexagonal rifling the hk is polygonal however

[@brian25301]

a hexagon is polyagonal by definition. poly simply means many. or more specifically, it means more than one, to be precise. FYI...

[@jiheemvohor9720]

Glocks are carbon steel

[@darylragland1502]

26 ALL DAY. VP 9is fatter than the 26

[@Paratus1179]

I have the HK and the Glock, smiths are garbage.

[@metalhead4x448]

HK is too big and its ugly, reminds me of a Hi Point.

[@Berserkable]

Wow, ok... I’ve never heard that before lol. I’ve heard Batman gun, PPQ knockoff, but Hi Point? Damn dude. Brutal! Size wise it’s the only Sub Compact I can tolerate. The others I’ve tried just feel like they’d fly out of my hand. The HK SK line i shoot like full size guns. I would like to see them bump it up 2 rounds like they did with the full size (15 -> 17). That’d be great but I’ll take comfort, reliability and “shootability” above 2 extra rounds every time. The other two guns are great guns though. M&P is hard to beat price wise but it ain’t no HK. Walther is another great option!

[@Daliahsdad]

Your mom was a hi point lmao
