I picked up a VP9 a week ago and I am completely enamored with the pistol. I always thuought the HK branding was pretty cool. If I could be so bold to hope that you folks check out my instagram page under crackerjackdesigns. I have a bunch more firearms related stuff over there.
This is what I think about that H&K VP9...

Well, like you said, you haven't handled one yet. When you finally do, I think you will find those cocking aids actually pretty nice to have and wonder why other manufacturers haven't done the same thing.

I'm not sure they add quite a 1/2 inch. However, since half of that is against your body, it would not impact concealability. Only the side facing outward would make any difference, as far as I can tell.
From what I've seen, remove the rear sight and it slides right off.

I was browsing hkparts.net and noticed there are polymer fillers for the cocking ears if you remove them, too. So no gaping empty space if you take them out.

It's the same gun with a slightly longer and threaded barrel.

I've said it many times - I love my VP9, but honestly I pick up my VP40 first to shoot at the range. Same great feel, just a slightly beefier slide to tame that .40 round. They knocked it out of the park on the VP series.
And to whoever posted that POS M.A.C. so-called "torture test" video, you should know that is possibly the least scientific test on youtube. Sad!

You dislike the trigger safety on the VP9, but are OK with it on a G19? My 19's trigger safety, as with my other Glocks, doesn't recess flush and causes discomfort over extended shooting sessions.

It seems the trigger sticks if you try and wrap your finger around the trigger. The safety doesn't get fully depressed. However if your using the pad of your finger like your supposed to it works just fine. Wouldn't like it to stick in an emergency

OK, I tend to shoot with the very tip of my finger, so I wouldn't experience the issue with the VP9, while at the same time the issue with the Glock trigger blade is exasperated.

The P30 was the best feeling grip I've ever tried. Can't remember but I would think the VP9 is similar. Both pistols are just too large and heavy for EDC for me.
Is there a VP45 in the works or is everyone dreaming.?
