Heckler & Koch launched the next iteration of its primary striker fired pistol, the HK VP9, with the new HK VP9A1 series earlier this year. Now Arizona-based Langdon Tactical Technologies is selling a customized version of the new HK VP9A1 series with signature touches and modifications, not unlike what the company already offers for other HK models like the P30 or the flagship Beretta 92 pistols.

“The LTT VP9A1 combines the reliability, durability, and engineering that you expect from H&K with the custom touch of Langdon Tactical in a striker fired platform. Starting with the optics-ready HK VP9A1, which includes a nickel Teflon-coated trigger bar, aggressive slide serrations, a fully customizable grip, and an enhanced magwell, we take it a step further. LTT adds our trigger job, your choice of an aluminum trigger from GrayGuns to reduce pre-travel and over-travel, customizable backup iron sights, and the option to include a C&H Precision optics plate—delivering a pistol that’s range-ready right out of the box.

We added the LTT VP9A1 to provide our customers with the HK design and quality that we know from our work on the P30 and USP pistols, now in a striker fired platform. We are proud to work alongside HK to add our Precision Build Confidence to their No Compromise,” said Ernest Langdon, CEO of LTT.

Because Heckler and Koch's 2025 release of the A1 series includes both a full size pistol (the VP9A1 F) along with a mid size (the VP9A1 K), customers have the option to pick from either model and can add different options at checkout, including the above mentioned Gray Guns trigger parts or C&H optics plates. Retail pricing for LTT HK VP9A1 series starts at $1107 and is subject to change depending on customer additions.
