Heckler & Koch VP9 - In development for more than four years, the VP9 is Heckler & Kochs latest handgun and the first striker fired HK since the renowned P7 series pistols were introduced in the 1980s. The VP9 trigger has a consistent pre-travel pull with a positive wall/crisp break. With the VP9, you have a less than noticeable pre-travel pull until the trigger reaches the engagement point of the fire control parts prior to trigger break. The VP9 uses HKs ergonomic handgun grip design that includes three changeable back straps and six side panels accommodating all hand sizes. Molded finger grooves in the front of the pistols grip also instinctively position an operators hand for optimal shooting. Although influenced by other HK models, the VP9 has all the hallmarks of the latest, state-of-the-art handgun. All controls are completely ambidextrous. Slide releases are present on both sides of the frame and the magazine release can be easily activated by left- or right-handed shooters. The VP pistols uses the proven P30 steel magazine; 15 and 10-round capacity available
