I love my Glocks, but the VP series is just perfection. No BS I have had Glocks since 87, the VP9 changes everything. The fit finish grip quality accuracy are polymer striker fired game changers. It is not close! and I've screamed Glock from the mountain top for 30 years!
Glocks are quality made, reliable/dependable, easy to use and won't break the bank, they basically copied H&K's designs for a polymer frame, striker fired concept, but I would carry an H&K VP, P or USP any day of the week over even the Glock 17, 20, or 22 (Glocks 3 best IMO). I prefer H&K, Beretta and Sig Sauer over Glocks and like S&W, a lot.
@@davsny5 I'll take the Glock over the Beretta and the S&W. Berettas are great, but, Glocks will beat them out for durability. Not that I'd have any reservations about carrying a Beretta, mind you. As for Smith, not battle proven like the others you mention here, and, too many quality issues with their firearms for me to trust my life to anything with their name on it.
Yeah, they are sweet shooters and dont need much practice to take accurate shots with it. Glocks take a little getting used to the trigger. Every glock trigger I tried feels a little different. HK is very consistent and I’ve never heard or read about them being lemons.
I was all like, "Hickok, TAKE A SHOT AT THE FLY," and you did. You know we love it!!
Hickok 45 never fails to make me laugh lol. such a genuinely nice and funny guy. been watching for 3 years now!!
second shot ricochet to the gong, a masterful trick shot
there was a long delay good ears
+rifles Takes it in his stride without skipping a beat.
So I guess there was one. I heard it but didn't know for sure or not. So at least I'm not the only one
nah, a masterful trick shot would have been a ricochet of through the pot, off the ground, off the gong, off a ram, into the fly.
I heard the gong hit too :)
I heard that aswell!!!
WHAT KIND OF MUTATED EVOLVED FLY IS THAT THAT DOESN'T GET SCARED OF BULLETS
+Mustlehard Obviously, no relatives of those in Beverly Hills - the ones that Jed Clampett used to shoot the wings off of
+Mustlehard all the critters on Hickok's compound has evolved to feed exclusively on soda and lead
+Mustlehard Fly: "Is there a draft in here?"
+Mustlehard Flies need not worry. It's those damned two liters that need to watch out.
+Mustlehard 10000th generation on his range, if they scared from bullets they would all be dead...
I'll be happy when H&K makes a VP 10mm
Hey Hickock I was at a gun store getting my M&P cerakoted and a customer asked if I could suggest a first handgun...I suggested your page and about 10 minutes later he told me he wanted to handle a HK vp9. After handling it he told me he liked it and asked me if I thought the price was fair to which I suggested he check out buds gun shop...needless to say he left the gun shop empty handed but with a big smile on his face. Thank you for the hard work you put in to upload these professional, data rich videos!
out of the 50-60 Hickok videos I've watched that was the best intro shooting I've seen, very impressive
I bought mine a yr ago ! I luv my vp40 great firearm
I've had a VP 40 for a month now and I can't believe how accurate it is! The trigger reset is fast and the Grip is so full in your hand. I picked this gun up and I said Woh!! The Magazine Release is Genius.😎
"I'll shoot until I miss it...GONG..GONG..GONG..GONG!!! Well heck, I guess I can't miss...darn it" Remind me never go get into a gunfight with this man!!
Does the vp 40 its a good option ???
@@MsChuy989 Yes, very well built and reliable.
Hickok! I don't comment too often, but what you said about "what you shoot", is so true. If you shoot Glock, it's just what you are "used to". I recently got a Sig & it was uncomfortable at the range a couple times because the "single action only" was a different manual of arms.. Thank you & God bless you for what you provide the shooting community...
I bought the VP40 and took my CCW class with it. I shoot amazingly tight groups with it. My instructor was so intrigued with it, that he asked if he could fire a mag through it. After handing it back he told me it was next on his want list. It's my cold weather carry sidearm. Every other time I carry my Gen4 G26. Excellent, unbiased video, Sir!
bigorange1986
What holster do you conceal it with?
Fascinating to see the rounds actually hitting the target at 1:25 It's even more noticeable at 60fps.
Can't recall seeing that happen from that angle. Cool.
I always tell people that the best pistol they can purchase is the largest caliber one that they can shoot the most comfortably and accurately. I personally shoot the HK VP40 the most comfortably and accurately, and in MY experience, it is the softest shooting .40 S&W I have ever shot. I have small hands and short fingers for a man. Glocks tend to bang on the middle knuckle of my middle finger when I shoot them, which is very uncomfortable. I have not yet shot a pistol with a trigger that pinches my trigger finger the way the HK VP Series pistols pinch yours. This seems to be an issue for people with large hands and long fingers. Therefore, the Glock 22 and Glock 23 are most likely the best pistols for YOU to shoot because they neither bang your knuckle nor pinch your trigger finger, and you can shoot them the most comfortably and accurately. I personally do not care for Glocks, but for those who are offended by the fact that you prefer Glocks over other pistols, they need to get over it.
Has anyone ever called you the Bob Ross of firearms?
So true!!! That's a GREAT comment!
Right on!
Yeah just about every single video there’s this exact comment.
Who's Bob Ross?
He's the OG of firearms.
The slo-mo shots on the gong at the end were epic. Great stuff!
Hickok vs the Fly!
Who will win!!!
+Renegade 357 The Fly said, "You can't hit me, :P."
+Renegade 357 I'm glad he missed it. If he had hit it the PETA/Vegans would be all over the comments equating farmed animals to human rape.
+Renegade 357 Would be a great short film!
0:26 did a fragment really just hit the gong?!
seems like yes :D
+FlyTour69 Yes. But it was probably just a nut from one of the trees.Maybe acorn or something.
+FlyTour69 if you see what the pot is resting on, it's a metal platform. at the angle he shot at, the entire bullet skipped off the platform hitting the gong. Notice how long it takes to get there?
+FlyTour69 I heard that too, that's one heck of a ricochet!
wow... what are the odds of that
I had the same trigger-sting issue with every Glock I've ever shot, something about that middle piece in the trigger. When I saw HK went to that, I knew I'd stick with the P30 series. As far as trigger safety goes, S&W has a much better version in my opinion, no trigger sting.
The video quality is outstanding. It is super clear like you are running a super camera. The VP pistols seem very nice. I have only held a VP9 at Academy, yet I was able to tell that the VP series was outstanding and felt like a great pistol should feel. I actually still like the 40.
Does anyone else kinda feel like you have supper powers when you can see the bullets flying?
No
Yea when he was putting the bullets on the gong i thought i was seeing the bullets traveling and landing on the gong
I have supper powers every night at dinnertime.
I love your vids. I've been watching them for years! Even while in the military. You definitely hit the gong more consistently with that VP40 than I've seen you hit with the Glock 23. Either way, it's all personal preference...I believe HK's and Glocks are definitely two of the greatest around.
I love H&K, Beretta and SIG Sauer the best but Glock and S&W are great, as well and I prefer the G22 over the 23, much better shooter IMO and the Shield 2.0 is the best CCW. The Walther PPS M2 LE is an amazing micro carry pistol, great PPQ like, crisp trigger, excellent reset and nice looking/feeling gun. The LE gives you an extra magazine and green glow night sights. For a little over $300, its a steal and a great piece. The Shield M&P 2.0 Shield with Crimson Trace Laser is a steal under $400. Loved my Shield, my 92FS and 1911 were way to big for CC IWB. The Shield, PPS and my Sig P229 .40/.357 are ideal for CC and the Sig 365, as well.
i follow number of guys in the gun space, and i trust hickok for his straight talk. i don't buy enough pistols to worry so much about cost, more about quality, feel and of course, functionality. keep up the great reviews hickok, really appreciate you.
And it's a Two-fer .40 and a HK .357sig simple barrel change out. (& uses same Mags) SWEET!!!!
Very good, honest review from a HK fan! Really enjoyed the slow-motion shots on the gong too.
Been watching you since I was in middle school.. I'll be 25 in September. Love you man
You've probably matured a great deal more than I have during the last 10 or 12 years. :-)
Wow! The gong shots, we can actually see the itty bitty .40 rounds flying thru the air. That's cool.
I lost my apple when he made the mother in law joke at the beginning. 😂
And, still watching in 2024!
I feel like the next shot would've hit that fly, then hickock wouldve been the only man in history to have a video of themselves shooting a fly successfully
0:28 gong worthy without aiming?
Bro come on our boy Hickok45 trying to literally shoot a fly and getting within inch or two? hilarious!
Thank you Hickok45, you confirmed that I wasn't crazy. I have the VP9 and the first thing I noticed was that the trigger slap was ridiculous. One short range session and I was all blistered on my trigger finger.
I noticed it too with a G23 shooting 180gr, tore my hand up pretty good!
I carry the VP9. Waiting on 15 round mags to carry it for work as a summer pistol over the Glock 21. Love the thing.
Glock store has 18 round mags for a Glock 21.
Still my favorite pot smoking channel on the internet.
I totally agree with your trigger finger comments while firing this one. I recently bought a Walther PPQ M2 .40 and a Sig Sauer P320 9MM because of your positive comments about the triggers on both. I am a high end range shooter (I enjoy putting holes in paper!). And neither gun pinches my trigger finger. I do own a FN- FNX .40, that makes my trigger finger rub on the trigger guard,. It rubs, pinches, and I don't enjoy firing it. I keep it because it is a DA,SA, de-cocker, that I feel safe with under my extra pillow at night.
Amazing gong shooting around the two minute mark. One handed, left and right, with ease!
"Snappy" is the word you were looking for!
+glockensig Yep, that's it. The brain works in mysterious ways! :-)
I guess that's why they call it "perceived" recoil. Several other reviews I just watched said the vp40 is the lightest recoiling polymer 40 on the market. I'll listen to Hickock first though. Snappiest 40 I have is the Smith sd40.
No animals' or insects' were harmed in the making of this video!!
+GunsHarleysUSA Yes, primarily due to poor marksmanship. :-)
+hickok45 What are the odds of you doing a 9mm Super Showdown for people who want a nice 9mm?
+GunsHarleysUSA or mothers-in-law!
Thank you for your straight forward reviews and knowledge. I still consider myself a novice shooter, and I've relied on your expertise when I have purchased. I did buy a Glock 23, and although it's a great pistol, it just didn't fit my hand well, and I could never get comfortable enough with it to say it's a primary. I just bought the VP40, and from day one, it fit me like a glove. My wife loves Glock, so now we are both happy.
Now if I can talk her into letting me replace the Marlin 1895 that I blew up...
Extremely good video, Hickok45, especially for anyone considering buying a .40 caliber pistol. The HK VP40, in Hickok45's evaluation is both accurate and reliable. He also points out the good things, and also the things that should be experienced, about the pistol. .... Hopefully, some of the American companies will copy the 'grip protrusions' on the slide. Not all of us have the 'bear trap' grip of a Hickok45. He even gave some kudos to the grip-protrusions on the slide.. .... Hickok45 mentioned his video for the UpLULA loader, from Maglula. The Hickok45 video is called, """Magula Magazine Loader Simply Amazing!"""" ....... About two-thirds into the video, Hickok45 started missing some of the steel targets. = It could be his ~mother-in-law~ went to refill her thermos with hot-tea. By the way, there's a rumor going around, about the tunnels underneath the Hickok45 compound. His mother-in-law is supposedly able to both ring and knock down the targets, while hiding out-of-sight, down in the tunnels. .... Actually, Hickok45 is a very good shot!!!
"My mother in law behind it" lmfaooo
Hahaha I love that
"I can't miss it" ping ping ping "let me try left-handed since it won't miss. I'll make it missed now" ping ping ping
"Let's try it with the other hand" ping "well I got to miss it before I quit" ping ping ping. Hahah that was so awesome Hickok.
That's amazing. Looked for a review of this gun last night, couldn't find one. Ordered it today anyway. Good timing!
I had aHK45 that I shot in speed competition against .38spl revolvers, and did very well with the recoil control of the HK.
I just bought one of these today as a new EDC. I wasn't looking at HK to be perfectly honest, but all I needed to do was hold it and test the trigger. In my opinion, the trigger is exceptional. From fire to reset is a marginal 1/8 inch(if that). It is a very comfortable firearm for my stature(6ft, 160lbs). Fairly small guy, tall(ish) and lanky. Cannot wait to do a 500 round burndown with this sleek and comfortable weapon. I hope I remember to comment on the experience. Could someone please do me a solid leave a like and a comment on this to remind me? I would really appreciate it, and maybe I can give more insight before you spend $1,000 on this firearm as to whether you're going to like it or not. Thanks in advance.
Cheers from Texas
Reminder.
Hey, reminder.
@@artgreen6915 nice! Thank you. I did a little more than just a 500 round burn down. I have also done a torture(ish) test. Basically, I treated the firearm like shit for a month through neglect. So far there have been roughly 2300or so rounds through it and I had one stovepipe malfunction when a buddy of mine was shooting. We ran through about 300 rounds of reloaded ammo that was ordered online. I purchased a bag of subsonic online and some of the rounds were audibly more quiet. Makes me think that some of them didn't have enough powder, or maybe even no powder at all. Anyway, I didn't clean this pistol until that malfunction, which happened right around the 850 round marker. From when I opened the box to 850, I threw the pistol in the dirt during weapons transition drills, I made sure that the mags were in the dirt, I left the scattered ammo in the dirt before loading the mags, I left the pistol, mags, and ammo in a swimming pool over the weekend and went to the range Monday. I haven't been nice to this pistol. It is rugged as hell and does not lose zero easily. It has maintained the preset factory zero(10 yards) this entire time. Doesn't look like the rifling is worn even a little. Trigger is still crisp(for a striker fire) and the reset is great, I like that it kind of forces your finger forward to encourage you to pull it again. The plastic tabs on the slide didn't make it. I took them off and part of them were stuck under the rear sight and now they are useless. Overall, the VP series is a robust and accurate weapon. I really like the European paddle style mag release too. My reloads feel better, but I'm sure that's just a preference thing. The tritium night sights are super bright throughout the night so you will still see them when you turn on the flashlight. There are 3 of each side straps, 3 back straps, and 3 mags too. Down fall is that mine is not optics ready. It will have to be milled. So that's my experience after a year ish of training like it was a zombie apocalypse with this pistol. Hopefully it helps someone.
Cheers from Texas
160lbs at 6 feet tall is normal. The obesity problem made everyone think normal is skinny lol.
Hot-DAMN, a stock magazine has 13-round capacity??!?!?!?!?! I was considering the VP9 because it's less punch, but more bullets. But *13 rounds in .40 cal?!?!?!?!* That's still a good amount of ammo for that big of a caliber! Probably getting a VP 40 instead now...
Which did you end up getting?
Glock 23 carries 14 rounds in .40 caliber.
@@daniel022209 glock 23 carries 13 just like the vp40 ,+1 in the chamber.
yeshuasaves13 13 actually. 14 if one is loaded in the chamber. You can also get a Glock 23 15 round clip.
It can also convert to 357 Sig with a barrel switch.
My VP 40 is the tactical version which includes 4 magazines (2-13 round & 2-10 rounds, threaded barrel with a barrel thread protector and law enforcement night sights $499 at Bud"s Gun Shop
Do they still have that?
@@SeangLHeng Unfortunately, no the tactical is very hard to find and it upwards of at least $600+ without probably the 4 magazines and just two or three. Great firearm though and the magazines are interchangeable with the P30 and USP. May grab one of those in the future. H&K are so much better than Glocks, which are good, but companies likes H&K, Beretta, Sig Sauer and S&W make the best firearms, love the 92FS, the P229 and the M&P Shield 2.0 and the Walther PPS M2 LE is an amazing pocket CC pistol with a PPQ like trigger pull.
Nice! Dizamm Hickok you were shooting that gun. These HKs are very sweet.
Great video Mr Hickok, as always! Greeting from France :)
This flippin' guy!
Hitting shots all day with a pistol that I can't hit with a rifle.
It just ain't fair.
😎
and he was like.."well I'll just shoot until I miss. (Switches to his left hand..then his right)...GONG GONG GONG GONG... "Well darn it I guess I can't miss, oh well" Makes me want to cry when I compare that with my shooting.
The quality from this camera is outstanding...now I can't imagine how I ever watched your videos in anything other than 60fps
Mr. Hickok is spot on with everything he says. I too grew up with Glocks and am partial to them but H and K's are tanks. I felt the same way when I first shot VP9, I couldn't miss, but I too don't like the high bore axis when shooting .40 caliber
The "Volks Pistol." aka:VP-9. Finally HK listens to the people. And provided a quality firearm that's reasonably priced....per HK pricing. Volks means People. Hence the VP9 is the "People's Pistol."
Hickok: I don’t think I can hit it
Clang, clang, clang
Shooting at the fly was priceless...😂😂😂😂😂😂
I missed this video when it was first posted. I have to agree with Hickok again on this pistola... The Mk4 is a long overdue upgrade from Ruger! I too bought the S&W Victory after dropping too many "F" bombs while trying reassemble my Mk2 after cleaning (which I ultimately sold to preserve what little sanity I have). Both the Mk4 and Victory are fantastic guns! If I had to nick the Ruger for anything it would have to be for the ambi safety getting in the way and the rear sight blade just never lining up the way I needed it to. (Not Ruger's fault. Just this old dog's preference.) The Hunter model may well be the prettiest handgun Ruger has ever built! Once again Hickok, spot on review. Thanks.
I'm I the only one getting excited over seeing actual bullet drop/bullet midair?
We all saw them. Amazing stuff.
Great review, but you need 4 Hi-points on the table for comparison. We all know how much you like those Hi-points .
Of all gun reviewers, I find myself consistently coming back for your reviews!
great review. i just bought one, my buddy has the 9 and i bought the .40 shooting it this weekend. every gun has pros and cons and this was a great humble and direct review.
This gun is one of the guns built specifically for the 40 cal as opposed to being converted to it. Should last a long time
What about the Sig Sauer P320 in .40? Is that also built for .40?
@@daniel022209 Not to the degree of thought that went into the VP40 slide.
It's over built to handle the higher pressures and won't fit a VP9 holster because of that.
Plus, VP40 converts to 357 Sig with a barrel swap.
delayed ricochet gong hit in the beginning. awesome
+Mark M. That was intentional; I've been working on that shot for years. :-)
YES! I have been waiting for the great Hickok45 to review the VP 40.
Hickok, if you notice, the Grip on your G23 is heavily, taped with Tallinn Grips, that could be why you're experiencing jumpiness with the H&K VP .40cal. Although, the .40cal as you know, is inherently, a "SNAPPY" Cartridge. Just a thought!
The Grip Tape on your G23, I'm guessing, helps you stabilize the Glock better than the H&K which is why, I feel, you are experiencing the jumpiness with the H&K.
Not a glock hater at all,I own a glock , but putting grip tape on the glock ,and not needing it for the VP says in MY opinion the HK gives you a better quality pistol for the money...interchangeable grips, big plus! !. Glock doesn't have that .the glock has alot more recoil in MY opinion....ill stick with my HK VP 40 cal . Its better buy ..
+Intellectual Analysis. its an awesome pistol! definetly my favorite shooter all across the board! enjoy it!
How big is the vp40? I'm really into the hk line but I'm stuck between a few different models
Vp40 is nice piece. But he would def put grip tape on it if he owned it t and it wasn't going back to buds. He puts talons on everything.
Hitting that fly with a .40 cal round would be like a person getting hit with a round from the battleship Iowa.
This man is absolutely unbelievable with his accuracy
I own this one just bought it great video
Hickok, PLEASE get your hands on the new Walther PPQ 45!!!!!
+Greg Kramer Your Prayers have been answer mys friend ;)
Greg Kramer on nvm cool CV
Just bought one yesterday, going shooting Saturday. I shot one on a range and LOVED it, so i bought me one. Got it for $690.00 new from NOVA Fire arms in McLean VA.
HK VP9 and VP40, Best hand guns ive shot and I now own both. Worth every penny
I enjoy your videos! Thank you for the quick firing and displaying it's abilities and them doing the review. Thanks! Also, do you know the different between the VP40 AND VP40 LE? I can't seem to identify the difference besides the extra mag. I bought the VP40 today and have Fed. PREMIUM 135 grain hydra shock.
In regards to the 23 vs the 40, the 23 actually hurst my wrist and to me is very snappy, I found the vp to be very smooth and the recoil, to me, is like a low powered 45.
I had same experience with a G23 shooting 180gr, no problems with 135gr or 155gr. I replaced it with an XD40 & no problems since.
I have the same pinching feeling with my trigger finger, i now use gloves when i shoot my VP9.
I’m thinking of doing a Lobos trigger job done.
Seriously; when the camera person zoomed in for the gong shots-I was wowed to actually be able to see the bullet travel down range!!
You can put 16 rnds of 9mm in the 40 mag and shoot it in the VP9 with no problems.
Smoking pots again? lol
When I want reviews I come to this guy, everytime!!!!!
0.29 seconds. The 2nd shot he takes, did we hear a ricochet hit another steel target??? Now THATS good shootin!
Yoiu can actually see the flight of the bullet just before it impacts the gong!!!
I traded in my G23 w/out hesitation simply because the VP40 was far less kick than the Glock. Perhaps, for me, it boils down to hand size. I get a much better hold on the HK than I did on the G23.
Tbh the g23 is a compact while the vp40 is full size, so not a really good comparison. The vp40 should be compared with the glock 22 not the 23.
"I didn't want him to suffer". Too funny!
I was sorry to see that this really ended up being a HK vs Glock. I also have trigger finger syndrome. Not with Hk, but with my Glock 19. Like you, a little tape and off we go. I bet we all have this with some gun. We don't all have the same size hands. tell John. Another great job.
Love my H&K
Love this gun, it's just like a Glock but sexy
Have been watching the channel for many years now, definitely due in part to the honest and informative reviews
I don’t know what was more impressive. Left handed gong shooting or that bad ass fly!
Hickok, we need a review of the VP70. Please!
damn good shooting sir!!
The best gun videos out there Hickok45 enjoys shooting like everyone should and has a good time. Awsome videos
Phoenix PD replaced the Glock 17 and 22 with HKVP40 got to love this gun
1080P HD.... HOLY BALLS
I wouldn't compare with glock, like bmw comparing with toyota
+maksim tsionskiy Yep, except for me the Glock is the BMW. :-)
+hickok45 then hk is labrigini. Don't get me wrong glock is good reliable gun. but to me its ugly and most cases when people get they do bunch of upgrades to improve. something you don't have to do with HK
+maksim tsionskiy Lamborghini*
+Jamie Lingard Lamborghini started off making tractors, so lambrigini is just as acceptable.
+Logan thompson your point?
Just wanna say thanks for all your videos. They've helped me greatly as far as future purchases. Good stuff.
HK is the best factory made handgun the market. I own Berettas, MP sold the junk Glocks. I carry my HK P2000. In the summer I do carry my shields.
can you dual wield sime pistols pls.
+distinguished master guardian He has....
ok, I don't know if its me or not, but can anyone else see those rounds AS THEY ARE FLYING towards the gong?
+Logan thompson yeah i can :P
I can.
+Logan thompson Don't worry mate, it's not just you. These are .40 S&W rounds we're talking about, they're not THAT fast. They're wide, on the heavy side and their cartridges are quite short, they start off about as slow as a .45 and they're nearly just as non aerodynamic, and since hickok's gong is quite a medium-long range away from where he's shooting, the bullets get enough to slow down to the point where they're caught by the camera. Everyone can see them on the video. Same thing with a .45. Proper 10mm though, no chance you're ever going to see those in flight without an even longer range.
It's not just you. It's anybody who watches on a computer screen. Lighting, frame rate, etc cause sort of a strobe effect. You wouldn't see nearly as well with the naked eye.
the only reason I ask, is because I had got some winchester white box 9mm, and could literally watch them leave the muzzle and go down range. I just wanted to make sure I was seeing this properly, and he didn't get a bad batch from federal. personaly, I don't shoot federal, remington, or white box, I've had nothing but bad luck with those brands. PMC, S&B, Magtech, and Geco seem more concistent.
Only thing i hate about Glock is they look like a matchbox with a trigger..other than that we all know a glock is very functional and does its job well. But i think i will stick with my HK USP and my Sig 226
The man is so laid back, and such a damn good shot!
