I also have the Glock 34 and the VP9L. In just 6 months of owning the VP9L, I've gone from a Sharpshooter to a Master in IDPA Carry Optics with the VP9L and a DPP. Also, I know you just told us that you have those Safariland holsters in stock for the VP9L, but I've had one on order from RDR since September 9th. Hopefully it's shipping soon so I can start running this pistol on my duty rig.
Lead times on the safariland holsters is quoted at 6-8 weeks. We had no idea how well the VP9 offerings would be received. Shoot us an email at info@rdrholsters.com
I can’t wait until I buy that slide kit for my VP9. They had it up for a while. I think it goes for $599 if not mistaken at HK’s website. I just recently got my VP9 my first firearm in August of this year. Nice video by the way. 👍🏾
I’m so glad of your review. I just bought one. And honest some thing or another which I also enjoy the videos off really didn’t like this. It made me so sad. But now hearing you bragging about it I love it thank you
Thanks for the insight. Really debating between the Tactical and the Long slide versions. I want threaded barrel and the new sights on the tactical but the better accuracy of the L keeps bringing me back to it.
#1. Did H&K specified approximately how many rounds can be fired before the O-Ring needs to be replaced? #2. Is the o-ring standard size and available through hardware box stores? I am assuming that the o-ring is a consumable part. Thanks
Great idea on H&K's part to offer the " Long slide ONLY"....I mean WHY NOT? :) People will still buy the VP9L..i prefer the VP9L Match :) It's not your run of the mill "usua dutry style" gun (e.g. no lightening cuts or a COMP). Guns are too simular. My only minor "want" would be for H&AK to offer a blued version of the VP9L Match (or SFP9 L Match for CDN/Uuro sustomers)....love blued guns....
Have you tried the Holosun SCS VP9 optic? I am curious about your thoughts on it for a regular VP9 and on the match VP9. Do you think it works well as a co-witness? Thanks!
@@B1NT1 sorry man I answered that super late at night like a total asshole. My apologies. 1. The mounting leave me wanting more. I would prefer the scs to have lugs as well as screws. That’s a lot of force working. I feel this is why mine keet coming loose. 2. For a full size vp9/match. I personally do t see the need for the scs. I have a Rmr on my VP9L and a acro on the standard VP9. I carry it as well some times. I prefer a little bit of a more robust red dot. It’s up to you if you upgrade to taller sights. I prefer them. But they are definitely not a need. Again sorry for giving you that short lame answer at first. Sometimes I get into respond mode and forget to read the question fully. Jeff
@@rdrgear No trouble here, didn't read anything into it. Thanks for the further explanation. I'm new to competition shooting, using a vp9, and have been thinking of getting the match barrel/slide and eventually an optic. I appreciate you getting back to me.
@@B1NT1 I have not shot the match yet but I hear good things. I just got the new 507 comp from Holosun. Massive window solid glass quality. Might be a good pairing
Man that’s a pretty rough. The mete has a better trigger. Both are optics ready. Lock up and tolerance probably better on the vp9. Either would be great
Mark. Burris is not really a go to optic. I understand you may Already have one. But if not save the money and get a better more durable dot. I also do not think you will find much support in mounting plates. Don’t quote me on that.
@@rdrgear yes HK parts provides a plate specifically for the fastfire 3. I believe it was plate number five and at work perfectly. I have a burst optic on one of my ARs and really extra kind of liked it. Can't find the holster for the vp9l on your website.
So do you think the vp9L or the Rival would be a better pick? Don’t really care for Comp but I want a range/ EDC gun. Gonna be my first handgun I’ve owned
I personally don’t think either the VP9L or the Canik would be good EDC Choices. Since they are both primarily designed to be competition pistols. A VP9 would be a great entry pistol to edc and training to be proficient with the pistol to carry
I shoot mine as accurately or more accurately than any center-fired gun I've ever had.

@@rdrgear is the safariland holster an ALS/SLS?
@@IRaiderO8 we offer both. 6390 is als only. 6360 is als & SLS
@@rdrgear I’m assuming that just like the picture indicates, the 6360 is rmr compatible?

I have had a VP9 since they released. If you watch the VP9 TACTICAL review. I show my original VP9 with the broken frame and it’s still running!
I have the VP9L OR WITH Compensator... any idea what holster may fit mine? Thanks in advance!

just get one and build a slide for the other. its modular between long, standard and .40 s&w
@@jamesJohnson-qe4gwyou have to get a complete .40 slide though right ?

Where did you order your mounting plate for the VP9L? I could not catch what you said. Thank you, great show.

The link came up as glock. But they make them for a variety of pistols and the VP9.
Thank you very much!🇺🇸
What's the barrel length in the long slide ?
5”.
@@rdrgear thank you
I'm guessing you'd gun has a few MIM parts?😢
I notice the 60fps. The production quality is great
Appreciate the compliment
How long would it take for the vp9l modified holster to ship？Because I want to get it before Christmas.
Lead times are 6-8 weeks. If you het it in plain black it will het there in time

How much is the long slide
What do you mean?
It's $335 right now on grabagun. 20 round hk mag $45 fyi
Please provide a link to your holster for the HK VP9L OR w/Optics (Burris Fastfire 3)!
