Heckler & Koch is releasing the new VP9A1 F and VP9A1 K pistols designed specifically for the US market. The new features of A1 models are designed to enhance the connection between serious users and their pistols and include an improved nickel-teflon coated trigger bar, universal ergonomic grip and an expanded selection of modular grip panels that now provide length of pull adjustment. Other features included enhanced ambidextrous controls, a factory-flared magazine well and additional slide serrations.
“HK has a well-deserved reputation for reliability and durability. One thing I think we don’t get enough credit for is the shootability of our pistols. True to its name as the ‘people’s pistol’, people just shoot better with the VP9,” said HK Director of Sales & Business Development Nathan Schueth. “The VP9A1 takes that ease of use to an even higher level. The best striker-fired pistol just got better.”
The VP9A1 K is the first true compact in the VP lineup. Its four-inch barrel and compact 15-round-capacity frame make it well-suited for concealed carry, with a size that fits between full-size VP pistols and the new HK CC9 micro compact. For those who prefer a larger pistol, the VP9A1 F with a 4.53-inch barrel is a 17-round, full-sized pistol geared towards duty, home defense or competition.
