The eagerly anticipated subcompact model of the acclaimed Heckler & Koch VP Series handgun, VP9SK (in 9 mm) has all of the sought-after characteristics of larger frame VP pistols but in a more concealable design. Despite their small size, VPSK subcompacts have excellent weight and balance making them naturally pointable, easy to control, and accurate to shoot.
HK VP precision strike trigger
The highly-rated VP trigger surpasses those found on competitors. It has a short, light take-up with a solid, single action type break, followed by a short positive reset. The net result is trigger quality unmatched in production striker fired pistols.
Small-scale interpretation of the adjustable VP grip feature
Consisting of interchangeable backstraps and lateral grip panels, the completely adjustable VP grip is replicated in the compact grip frame of the VP9SK. This allows the pistol to be easily modified to fit any individual user and is a feature found only on Heckler & Koch handguns. Molded finger grooves in the front of the pistol’s grip also instinctively position an operator’s hand for optimal shooting.
Features of the latest, state-of-the-art handguns
All controls are completely ambidextrous. Slide releases are present on both sides of the frame and the paddle style magazine release can be easily activated by left- or right-handed shooters.
HK’s patented charging supports
The charging supports are simple components that are mounted on each side of the rear of the slide and provide better gripping leverage for racking the slide rearward. The charging supports speed reloading and make operating the VP easier for shooters with reduced hand strength.
