Damn it! Now I have to buy another gun.......

 

Now we know why the VP9s have been on sale.

 

Seeing skus listed for a VP9A1 K, 15 round magazines. No pictures yet though...

642230268852

 

Following for upcoming info. Currently have a few P30s but zero VP9s. Depending on what we learn, I may end up getting one.

 

Waiting on pictures to show up somewhere.

 

First model will be G19 size apparently, which is something a lot of people have been asking for.

Rumor has it that it's a chassis gun. I wonder if it will be compatible with the old VP9 slides.

 

If its a chassis gun I may end up spending stupid amount of money on various frames.

Also - Flux Raider

 

If I could get a USP or P2000 aesthetically styled frame....

 

Definitely a smaller framed compact size VP9.

 

Except the pinky is falling off, needs a support extension like the P2000 and USP Compact.

 

It appears we may be getting finger pads similar to the CC9. Can't tell for sure, but the grip and/or texture may be new also.

 

WTF are finger pads?

 

A VP9K sized pistol would be very welcome and a likely replacement for my G43X MOS.

 

Why not just get the VP9SK then?

 

Interesting, still want to pick up CC9 and now this😳

 

lol!
Yeah I have been paying attention and I think the course for the new gun will be:
1. Excitement over it followed by pics fueling that excitement followed by
2 Pics closer to release that are somewhat different than early pics…followed by
3. A loud but apparently un-influential group of forum members decrying how “HK blew it”….followed by
4. An inability to find the thing because it is selling so well…followed by
5. Theories that that is HK’s master plan, to create demand and not meet it (still sorting that one out lol).

We will see!

 

Magazine compatibility…all I ask…

 

With the VP9 and VP9SK sharing magazines I see no reason why a VP9K shouldn't share them as well.

Except the pinky is falling off, needs a support extension

Not exactly "falling off", but I'm pretty sure there will be applicable magazine extensions available sooner or later.

If somebody chooses a VP9K over a VP9, he's looking for a short grip to enhance concealability and not for "support extensions". If so, just use a VP9.

 

I’m sure it’ll be cool, but I was really hoping for a USP update.

 

I don’t think the USP will ever get updated

 

Would much rather an optics ready P30 but I guess this will do.

 

Welp, I'm selling my P320 and multiple frames for a VP9A1 Kompact. I really hope it's a chassis gun but I'm guessing it's not. I've really been wanting a VP9 again and this just seems like a sign lol.

 

This is a HK global product correct? Not part of the new HK USA lineup like the CC9?

 

This is a HK global product correct?

So far, the VP9 series is a US-only product (maybe plus US "halo"), the rest of the world has the SFP9.
The new product is named VP9A1, so there is that...

 

Any official time frame HK will make an announcement besides that teaser? Maybe at SHOT?

 

Looking forward to seeing what's new. Slide serrations look a little different, takedown and slide releases seem to be the same. I wonder if maybe the grip texture will be more aggressive or if the trigger has been upgraded...

 

So, basically a Glock 19 (or similar) striker fire offering? I think I would have like to see the 3rd announcement be something else. Preferably along lines of an updated PDW platform (wishful thinking of a US built MP7), like the 437 in 300 BLK.

 

I just want optic ready versions of all their hammer fired guns bros…

 

I totally agree, but wishful thinking on our parts. Strikers are whats in and I don’t think that’s gonna change. It seems like HK isn't ready to make them OR yet. I can’t believe that Sig and Beretta have their legacy hammer guns updated though.

 

Looking forward to learning more about the VP9A1. I am also still waiting on my LGS to get a CC9 in stock for me to play with.

I agree with the above that it would be nice if they could update their hammer fired pistols. All I want is a HK45C with the frame of a P30, rear slide decocker (v3 style), and a thumb safety that can ran like a 1911’s. I would never shoot my 1911s again.

 

Shot show 2024.

 

That's the VP9 2020.

 

Let’s keep the discussion focused on the VP9A1, rather than shifting the conversation toward our personal preferences for other products that weren’t announced, or pistols that haven’t been updated.

 

So is this just going to be a compact VP9 or just an update?

the VP9 already has the same barrel length as a G19 IIRC, so I don’t know how they’ll make it anymore compact than just reducing the grip size.

 

That's basically what S&W did with the M&P 2.0 Compact. The barrel is only 0.25" shorter than the most common full size M&P 9/40 models. Those pistols would've had 4.0" barrels like the S&W 5900 series if it weren't for Canada's 105mm minimum barrel length law.

The 2.0 Compact ended up being a much better selling product than the original, VP9SK sized, M&P 1.0 Compact (which got rebranded Subcompact for the 2.0 model), so there's certainly successful precedent for HK to do just what you said.

 

Maybe an OEM threaded barrel will be available for the VP9A1 unlike the SK.

 

Game changa! 🤪
