After four years of development the HK VP9 was born. This striker fired pistol features a “light pull” trigger, all ambidextrous controls, charging supports, extended mil-std-1913 picatinny rail, captive flat recoil spring, cold hammer forged barrel made from cannon grade steel, corrosion resistant hostile environment finish, special VP9 trigger for consistent pre-travel pull with a crisp break, and an ergonomic grip design with three changeable backstraps, six side panels, and molded finger grooves.
