Recently heard about this forum. Haven't been active in a while, but used to read frequently at THR, Sig, and various 1911 forums. After moving, kids, and not having done uspsa in a few years, I've been whittling down my collection and am looking to wind up with (maybe) just one handgun. Could he vp9 fit the bill? Shot a lot previously with sigs, glocks, berettas, and a grand power, and honestly, I liked the GP best of all.

Anyway, thanks.

Intended use?

Narrow it down to hammer fired or striker fired to start.

 

[adolphuscusins]

Carry and house. I'd be ok with striker fired or hammer. Generally like the ease of da/sa, but not there seem to be lots of solid striker guns with good pulls.

 

[chuckster62]

VP9 or a P30 will fit the bill. With the P30 you can choose DA/SA or LEM trigger and if you want something smaller P30sk.

There are lots of choices.

One handgun? Blasphemy.

 

[adolphuscusins]

Like I said, maybe. Hard to get rid of singlestacks from guys that build AMU guns.

 

[dwillHK]

If you want single stack, go old school and get a P9S or P7M8.

A VP9 served me well as my first, and for a period of time only, gun. I feel a little bit better about carrying a hammer gun with a safety, but I still will carry the VP9.

I know. Get 'em out of here! Ban the heretic!

But yeah, VP9 or P30 would be sweet.

 

[bigtarget]

First, a P30L for the house and for serious sport target. Then a P30SK for CC and the car.

 

[AGG]

For your stated purposes, the USP45FS (Variant 1)!!! :biggrin:

Seriously! You'll need at least two!

Come on!

I finally got to the store to check out a vp9 and some p30 variants. The vp9 is the best striker-fired type trigger I've felt, and I was very impressed with the lem trigger and build quality on the p30 sk. Guys who carry the sk, do you use mag extenders for the third finger or don't worry about it?

 

[Klaustrophobia]

Both. I use extenders primarily for capacity, the gun is plenty controllable and easy to shoot with the standard 10 round mags. 13 round USPc/P2000 mags with a flat baseplate and xgrip doesn't add much length for 3 extra rounds. This is my most frequent carry mag, unless I need the utmost in concealability in which case I'll use the standard 10 round. If I'm wearing very concealable clothing I'll use the same mag with the pinky extension baseplate for a bit more grip and easier draw. Spare magazine is a 10 rounder with the HKparts +1 pinky extension. One extra round and the added grip and a perfect fit. Since the xgrips are designed for the P2000sk, they don't fit perfectly and create a little resistance for seating the magazine. Also sometimes carry this one in the gun, it's EVER so slightly more concealable than the 13 with flat base plate. Same maximum length, but tapers off at the back. Can get rid of printing lines in some circumstances.
