Hi. New to site.
Purchased a new VP9, used 1time @ range. Slide is not retracting after last shot. Shot through about 8 mags worth of ammo, but the slide does not open up automatically, when mag is empty. When watching videos of the VP9 on you-tube it always is in operation.
Is there a defect that needs attention? If so, do I bring it back to where I purchased it, or send it to HK for a repair?
Thanks for the help.

Congrats on your new VP and welcome to the site. The guys above explained the cause and indeed, make the search feature here your best friend as it is full of expert knowledge and answers. From little issue like riding the slide release, historical facts to DIY information. Start saving $$ for your next few HKs. It happens that way. Clean, fire often, clean and repeat those steps as often as you can. Shoot straight and stay safe.
Welcome Trigger9 and yep it is most likely you, I might suggest doing as Llando88 says but I used my support hand and sure enough locked open first try and every time since then. Great shooting gun you just have to be very aware of your grip until it becomes second nature to not be riding/hitting the slide release. Have fun!
Hello & thanks for the input. I am a leftie & was wondering if that may be a problem. Can you be hitting the slide stop lever & not know it?
Thanks for the tip on using the search. Will explore the past posts.

hi-i am new to this forum so i hope this a correct thread to post my issue. i just got my vp9 and have not fired it yet. i will do so tomorrow. i have chambered a round and loaded my mag. the rim of the brass is visible from the rear of the chamber when the slide is completely in correct position. is this a normal thing for the vp9? this is the first polymer gun i have no less striker fire. i'm a 1911 guy but this seemed like a good place to start with adding to the safe or i really wanted it for edc. t's probably 10 oz lighter than my 1911's. any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks and carry safe always.
HK test fires each pistol something like half a dozen times, it seems unlikely you have a problem but you never know.
