I haven’t seen a thread specifically addressing the VP9 A1. Does anyone have additional info?

Nope. I doubt HK gave them anything exclusive, beyond permission for an early, non-public reveal. I stand by my statement that a full drop, to include the usual video embargo end, is imminent.No one wants to spend the $10 for access to the video on ASP?
But for keen eyes, I can see a few other new features in the screenshot above.

Correct, I see a magwell flare and it looks like the front strap is straight...

How do you think the grip texture is... vp9 like or more like the cc9 I see the HK logo low on the grip like the cc9
I sincerely hope HK makes some changes to the grip texture. More aggressive texturing is definitely needed. More along the line of the Wilson Combat P365 grip module would be great.
It’s gonna be bad enough getting silicon carbide grip panels (Jerkman) for my current VP9 guns.
And that’s not to mention the additional costs added to a VP9 A1 for new panels. That’s if I decide to roll the dice on a new A1 this Spring.
We will soon see.
🙏 Please bless us with a steel frame option.

Yeah, the front strap looked straight to me too.

The slide also extends out in front of the frame unlike the current VP9. It almost seems like the 2 new models will be either slightly larger or slightly smaller.

Why would someone pay $10 to watch a video for info that will be everywhere in a day or two? Besides, this discussion is more entertaining.
No ASP membership access but…
It’s a A1 F 4.5” full size in his left hand and VP9 K 4.1” compact in the right for $500, Alex.
A 4.5” slide would extend past the current full size frame.

Correct, the SKUs are already available online, we know that the VP9 K will effectively be a G19 size whereas the VP9 F will be G17 size, in other words, right in-between a current VP9 slide and the VP9L. We can see almost everything else in the HK teaser video and the ASP picture. The finer details may remain unknown, but there is no reason to pay $10 for a video to get the same info we know, or will soon know. The video is certainly intended as bonus for people that already subscribe. Just my opinion.
It would be interesting to see how much input HK got from the HK shooting team and/or law enforcement in regards to the changes made. We know the shooting team was at least tangentially involved based on the teaser video. We also know that the guy from ASP (as well as other industry folks) had tried out the CC9 years before its reveal in September.

Looking at the A1 pictures more does it look like they re-contoured the beavertail area or is it just me? Looks like it might allow a more comfortable/higher grip. Honestly pretty excited for this. G19 sized VP9 is something I will buy at some point. I’d still like to find a damn CC9 before then though lol.

Same. People expecting a USPA1 are dreaming whereas I've been wanting a VP9K since the original VP9 came out, even more than an HK micro.
