H&K's First Micro Compact 9mm: The SFP9CC!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 фев 2023
- In this episode of TFBTV, @JamesReeves is at EnforceTac in Nuremberg Germany on February 28, 2023 to see the public unveiling of the impressive, first "one and a half stack" micro compact 9mm handgun from @HecklerKochTV: The SFP9CC. This Heckler & Koch pistol will compete directly with pistols like the Sig P365 and Springfield Hellcat. The pistol will be very similar to the successful VP9 series of pistols. The SFP9CC will have a modular chassis, meaning that the fire control unit will bear the serial number, and the operator can swap frames and slides without having to buy another "gun" in the legal sense. The end user can buy one "gun" and then swap frames, slides, and grip panels. At launch, the slides available will be optics ready and iron sights only versions. The two launch frames will both be sized to fit flush with 10+1 round 9mm magazines, but one will have a Picatinny rail and one will not. There will also be six backstraps to choose from: small, medium, or large in beavertail and non-beavertail configuration. This is one of the most exciting pistols to come from H&K in a long time, so make sure you watch the video and make sure to subscribe to @TFBTVShowTime to see the rest of the content from EnforceTac and IWA.

Awesome! I can FINALLY feel superior to everyone else while packing 3 inches in the appendix area!
It’s not new it’s called power cucking
🤦
@Dubya Hey dummy, that's not at all the point he was making. Hk makes chub guns, he's excited they made one worth concealed carrying, no fucking shit we've had the type of carry he said he can finally feel superior in
Me too! Appendix carrier here! I have the P365 all day everyday to carry.
Does it come in a 2" version?
Glad to see HK continuing with the paddle. Their paddle is superior to the button in my opinion…
100% agree
Just wish they were a bit longer like Walthers were........
Yep, as soon as I saw the paddle mag release I was sold. That’s excellent
For reasons I've never been able to figure out, the U.S. gun media keeps trying to convince everyone that American shooters prefer the side button over the paddle. I've never met anyone in the U.S. that doesn't like the paddle.
@@cjbecker1683 I more or less agree. I found with my service HK I'd hit the release with my middle finger, but on my PPQ I'd hit the release with my trigger finger. Both doable but definitely a different method.
I’m really pleased to see this guy so readily and knowledgeably talking about the new gun in English. So often, Gun reps struggle to showcase their products in their native language, let alone their second or third. I’ve been so impressed with the reps from B&T, Beretta, and HK in these showcases. Excellent stuff!
English is essentially a co-primary language for most Germans. I have never met or heard of a German under 50 years old who didn't speak flawless English.
@@rolanddeschain6265 Yep, they speak English at all of the large music festivals in Europe, and not just Germany.
Germanic, low countries, Scandinavian: "I truly must apologize if my acumen in the English language proves to be insufficient for this plethora of situations."
Italian, French, Spanish: "I speaka da inglish ah gooduh."
Yeah, I've heard so many Germans speak much better English than primary-English speakers, even without any accent.
@@rolanddeschain6265 Never knew that. Have talked to a few people from Germany and none of them spoke very well English at all. I had a hard time understanding them. That's only my limited experience with a couple people though.
That guy basically said what I like about Hk: we don’t beta test our products on our customers
The opposite of Sig.
Exactly! Unlike….SIG 🙄🙄
Exactly....
They just sell them to the cartels!
And a zero percent chance it will discharge when dropped, unlike a certain other manufacturer's firearms, after they conned the Army to buy them.
American paddle enjoyer here, I like that I can manipulate it with my index finger and it isn't going to be accidentally pushed during shooting which I have had an issue with the Shield and other small guns.
Agreed. American here. Paddle preferred definitely. It's so much easier to manipulate.
I'd love to see a hammer-fired P30-esque version. Also, paddle; it's ambi and a holster protects it from an accidental mag dump.
As much as I'm excited for the SFP9CC, I'd be even more excited for a hammer-fired version.
I’d love that, but I don’t think it will ever happen
Since there’s a whole sub-genre of HK fans that are all about the hammer fired pistols I’m surprised they haven’t yet. I realize striker is the big deal now with the new generation of gun owners but who knows maybe we’ll get surprised one day!
@@KennethSchmitt HK doesn’t give much love to the hammer-fired fans, unfortunately
That would be fantastic.
Walther should take notes. There are many people in the US who prefer the paddle mag release. I'm definitely getting one of these.
Completely agree. Customers want double-stack micro-compacts, as well as larger calibers, and Walther instead gives us the 22 WMP. 🤦🏻♂️
It's not coming to the states...HK rep at my LGS told me last week.... This is why its displayed at German shot show and not at the Us one
@@tiansummers2110 If that's true, what a bummer. It would be crazy not to bring it to the US.
@@tiansummers2110 why in the world are they not selling to the US? They’d triple their profits.
@@FlyTour69 beats me... I heard it was for police over there... Don't understand wtf they are advertising it if that's the case
HK guns have a lovely Gothic architecture vibe to them
Yeah no other maker has that well B&t maybe but they are more technical aspect to their stuff it’s more refined
Looks like a very well thought out entry into the CCW niche, but don't they already have the Mark 23 for this market segment?
B I G I R O N
Suppressed of course.
I prefer my CCW to be a crew-served handgun. Teamwork makes the dream work.
I thought the same thing. Why do I need this when I already carry a suppressed Mark 23? The main difference between the Mark 23 and the SFP9CC is of course the new one is in 9mm, and HK has heard the rumors that 9mm is not as obscure a caliber as it once was.
Bit late to the game in my opinion.
The magazine release being integrated into the trigger guard is so smart for a concealed carry. They really smoothed out the edges on this one.
As someone noted though the trigger is probably going to be mehhhhh
@@atranimecs idk, the vp9 trigger is one of the better striker triggers out there. I’d say only the Walthers trigger is definitely better. This will hopefully be similar to the VP9 trigger.
Always hated trigger guard mag releases. Never felt natural. Have to change your grip to drop a mag.
@@Berserkable Walthers is slightly better but like you said the VP9 trigger out the box is definitely on the list of best stock striker fired triggers.
@It's Gonna Be Okay Little Buddy honest question here. Were you hitting the paddle release with your thumb or did you use your strong side index or middle finger? The latter is how that style release is supposed to work.
06:17 I can’t understate enough how much I appreciate this. Companies like HK are slower to bring products to the market because they actually TEST them first, unlike others…cough cough…SIG 🙄
Very much looking forward to this new design, will have to give one a try once they’re available! Also having paddle mag release available is sweet, as well as the OR options. Well done HK!
HK had to play catch up because the SIg 365 was and is kicking ever other manufactures butt.
@@jakleo337 Truth & for the money a P365 is a not a bad choice at all. I have a couple VP9's & they're great but I won't need to buy one of these......
They may test them but that doesn’t mean they do it better. 10 rounds of 9mm? You have Glock, smith and Wesson, sig, beretta, the xd series of edc firearms. And it’s not optic ready? They are about 5 years behind everyone else.
We may shit on sig as a whole as the gun community because of there past but they’re also the only manufacturer that allows you to buy one gun and make it into about 5 without spending 1000s of dollars.
Hk also doesn’t have the strongest after market support either.
@@Tanner_ray0213 I like HK and I understand your stance; however, didn't they state in the video that there WILL be both an optics ready version and a rail version (if not BOTH in one package)? I'd take HK quality every time over many other brands, but I agree that they are slow to market new solutions for retail customers. This is actually a pleasantly massive surprise!
I'll stick with my P365. I love that little gun I can't hit targets so easily with it and it's the smallest gun I own.
Undisclosed Interview Requirements: "No, you can't touch the pistol, James. And your son, Hop, has to stay outside the HK booth."
I heard Hop vehemently refused to pay the 10 euros for parking, so he didn't attend.
@@oskar6661 Hop is still looking confused trying to figure out what a bolt action is.
Exactly..://!!!! A show up the fort micro-compact and you can’t touch or racking or feel the trigger pull..//🤔
@@ernfrid123 This is an H&K, it's not to be grabbed by peasant hands.
As an open and admitted HK fanboy, FINALLY!!!!!!! Get these to the stores ASAP!
Love the paddle mag release. No more accidental mag drops!
The more I use the paddle with my VP9, the more I like it.
I (American) own an HK P30L and it took a little while but after hours of range time the paddle is far easier and more intuitive to use than a button.
@@Craigx71 Depending on the manufacturer I've seen a few.
It took me a while to find a good holster for my GX4 that covered the mag release so its MUCH more difficult to do an accidental mag drop....but the CYA one works very well for me.
Nonexistent problem
As an HK fanboy and a lefty, this will be perfect buy if and when it hits the US! I'll definitely trade my P365 in for this.
It will be interesting to see how this compares to the new Canik MC9 micro compact (also has ambi slide release and can swap the mag release). The Canik triggers are some of the best factory triggers out of the box, and the VP9 is dang close.
The canik mc9 has left handed controls, a front rail, has a better trigger and holds more rounds. I bet this hk is overpriced for what it is.
RAAAAAAAAAAAA BLALALALALALALA AHAHAHAHAH GAGAGAGAGAHAHAAH HEHEHEHE
@@l00nybin I'm guessing that the hk is made with better parts compared to the canik but it has less features and a probably a worse trigger. I'm also guessing that the hk is going to be insanely overpriced. I could be wrong though so I guess we'll see.
@@l00nybin The Canik MC9 is the size of a Glock 26, it doesn't compare to P365 size carry guns.
The first pistol I ever bought was a Walther P22 with the paddle style. I loved it, and didn’t realize at the time that it was not the norm. Glad to see them offer this with a paddle.
My 2nd gun after the Glock 19x. Walther p22 is the smoothest gun ever especially with stringer .22lr hollow points. Almost no recoil!
My next gun purchase! I love the fact that HK doesn't just rush something to the marketplace. I'm a paddle guy as well. I can't wait to get my hands on this gun! Been shooting for 40 yrs and I tried a VP9 and it was love at first shot!
LOVE THE PADDLE RELEASE!! H&K ...please never do away with this
Honestly, coming from a single stack to a double stack p30sk was great for me. I see this as being useful for comfortable carry or deep concealment, I'm sure it will be a huge hit for HK. I love my hammer fired HK's though, just a different experience IMO. P30 series and p2000 are some of my favorite pistols on the market in the last 20 years.
P30 and p2000 with the adapter for a 17 round mag… nah, the 13 rounder is so darn sexy!
I love my 30sk
I'd totally get a beer with Hans. Great video James.
Paddle all the way! It is ambi out of the box, can't be accidentally depressed with any grip, and you can use your thumb or middle finger to eject magazines with ease. It is easy to train for both and go back and forth as well. I would love to see paddle versions in other makes but that is a pipe dream.
I am soo ready for this. And Hans is right. Paddle is superior.
Love the fact that it has incorporated a chassis like the p365/p320. I’m in for an optic ready version. Thanks for the quick view TFBTV!
Finally something new from HK, pedals all day long. Now let’s hope we’ll see a hummer Fire version
Yes to the paddle mag release! Love it on my p30l. I wish this was a feature I could put on all my pistols.
I love my VP9, and can’t wait for this to hit the market to have a good CC option. I definitely love that HK takes there time in design to make sure they are releasing the best possible product.
How is this any different than the VP9 SK?
@@nostradamus7648 Size. VP9sk is my carry and it is too big comoared to P365 or Hellcat. This gun is exactly what HK Fanboys want.
@@nostradamus7648 It’s also modular.
@@nostradamus7648 width and modularity mainly. The VP9sk like other sub compacts is sub compact in height and length but a full size in width. They’re fat. This is like a P365 1.5 stack and just a hair over 1” wide. I can say it makes a huge difference in comfort having a gun around an inch wide imo.
I cc a vp9sk. It's a great CC option lol.
HK listens to their customers? That's a new one. I'm still gonna probably get one.
I’ll be interested to check out the optic ready paddle release version once I can find one.
You're gonna have to move to Germany
@@tiansummers2110 why?
Its not coming to the states.. HK rep told me at an event last week at my LGS
@@tiansummers2110 that sucks. Because of import laws?
I have been BEYOND eagerly waiting for this gun for the last 2 years...ever since the HK patent became public. I will buy this AS SOON AS I SEE IT and will LOVE one in the P30 configuration since I do prefer hammer-fired guns...AND once I got used to the paddle release and realized it's advantages it is also the best to me - and hopefully they make them available in GREY...PLEASE !!!! THIS IS GREAT !!!!!!!!!!
You can be sure this gun will function reliably without recalls right out of the gate. This is the one we've been waiting for.
HK is a proud company they wanna keep their name in high regard
@@jasonlaurain328 HK takes their time but they do it right. They test for years, not weeks or months.
Keep waiting... It's not crossing the pond
@@tiansummers2110 Yeah, not for a long time anyway. Little birds are whispering possibly Q4 2023, but who knows.
What is the capacity in rounds on this one?
Man I’m so stoked for a HK micro compact. Not excited for what will be the cost 😅
Maybe $75 to $150 more than a sig or S&W. You know it will run from day 1 & with care and a little maintenance, will last a lifetime. I will gladly pay any premium.
I have two VP9s, standard and Match, and I pretty much like everything about them. This is a pretty cool development.
My VP9s been my work horse for the last 6 years. Even compared to my custom built “Gucci” guns, the VP9 is what I always come back to.
@@OleMisss VP9 hard to beat, not sure why, but they're great to shoot. I have lots of other pistols but I'm the same way especially the Match with a Holosun even I look like a real shooter.
The only thing I don’t like about my VP9 is that for some reason the recoil is strangely snappy. Not unpleasant, but just harder to control than my other handguns (including compacts, where my VP9 is full size). Which is a damn shame, because I like the trigger, like the grip customization, and LOVE the charging supports (seriously, I wish they were on literally every handgun I own).
@@hkfifty871 Do you have the red or blue recoil spring?
@@hkfifty871 Yeah, your right now that I went down the street and shot it at a field where the farmer doesn't care to test your hypothesis. The 4" is kind of snappy. VP9 Match far less snappy, took the tac light off just to be sort of apples to apples. But standard VP9 feels more snappy than my Hellcat RDP. Given the RDP has a compensator but I totally see what you mean. Oh well, gives us all something to talk about. Still like it a lot despite being not 100% perfect.
Looks like a dream gun to me!
I was waiting for HK to jump into the "Micro Compact" genre. It will be interesting to watch this one.
Great interviewing by James, there. Totally on top of the subject, feeding through all the information so his interviewee simply had to agree and add small points, leaving everyone feeling appreciated. And at the centre of it all, nothing more than a mock-up in a box! Awesome work!
Finally they made one I was looking for when I bought the VP9C SK. I clicked your video so fast when I saw the title. Thanks dude!
The paddle is a lot like the ThinkPad trackpoint. A lot of people hate it. But those of us who get it, prefer it over everything else. Glad they are sticking with it while also updating the platform with an FCU, 1.5 stack etc.
On some guns depending where they place the mag release you have to change you grip just to actuate the mag release. The paddle is within reach and honestly an easy transition from actuating a traditional mag release.
I’m looking forward to waiting 2 years for an X Macro competitor from them!
As an American I can say I LOVE the paddles on HK and Walthers.
This looks like another great H&K. I hope they’ll get it to CA soon.
Dammit, he got me at paddle and RDS ready. I’ll probably get one because my full size handgun is a paddle release. They took too long so I’ve got one of the Sigs right now for micro
I really wish we could get a micro compact with a hammer and v1 LEM trigger. I would order it in a second.
Literally the exact gun I've wanted for years. They don't care about us though sadly
Strikers dominate the market. For better or worse, it's what sells. I wish more people realized how good LEM is.
All HK pistols offer LEM. I highly doubt this pistol will be any different.
All about the v7 LEM
@@pets4489 even the striker fired models? That, I've never come across.
Thanks James!
Waiting for the HK Vp10mm to come out. I would love to get that in my carry and hunting fishing expidition
I LOVE my vp9sk but might just have to check this one out as well 😍 I really am glad that I picked HK for my first gun 😌❤️
Just waiting on Walther’s 10 round Micro version of the PPS
Walther has been surprisingly quiet on the micro-nine front...which is odd considering the original PPS was more or less the first mass market micro-9 CCW pistol from a major manufacturer. It was ignored for years essentially before the market caught on.
I might have finally found something to replace my Walther PPS M1 with the paddle mag release I've been carrying for the last 12 years.
If this shoots anything like the VP9sk, then I’m looking forward to it.
The SK is so smooth and returns to target without fanfare. Very easily controlled pistol. Hoping this comes soon, and shows to be the same in shooting character.
Walther PDP is way better lol
@@SlavicCinnamonRollie556 I have 3 PDPs. The PDP is not the same size as a VP9sk.
Wish the SK had higher round capacity.
@@pjkf01 The SK is a sweet shooter for sure.
I have a usp compact and the paddle mag release is superior especially for smaller hands. It also easier to locate since you don't have to alter your grip or look at the weapon to locate the mag release.
Watching this old video shows that you deserve the 2.5m+ subs you have bro. Narration is Mike Rowe level.
To be honest James, I just bought a Walther with the paddle mag release and I'm loving it!
I wasn't excited until I heard FCU. I love the Sig P365 ecosystem, it has allowed me to piece together a gun that I can shoot as well, if not faster, than my full size pistols. Having another pistol in the market that will hopefully he able to build a similar ecosystem is awesome. Crossing my fingers that companies like Wilson Combat, Langdon Tactical, etc start providing aftermarket options.
It's just a method to make you buy more stuff - as opposed to buying a decent gun right off the bat. But, any company will gladly sell you multiple frames for a pistol.
@@oskar6661 Everyone has different tastes and having the option to get a new frame to fit your style/comfort is a huge win. Modular FCUs are the future and it’s nothing but a win for us. Idk why so many people in the gun community are so against having customization options. Also if you damage your frame now a new one ships straight to your house with no hassle.
Definitely need USP/P30 LEM hammer option and I’d take one!
If someone would just make a hammer-fired micro 9, they'd be the only name in the game with that market segment cornered. While this SFP9CC does offer some things not seen in the competition, we have so many variations on this striker-fired flavor, the market is feeling pretty diluted.
@@asathomas84 is there something wrong with the S&W CSX? It’s a hammer micro 9 and actually very small and comfortable. Everyone either ignores it or just genuinely doesn’t know it exists. I haven’t looked into them as I have no interest in a hammer micro 9 but unless there’s some major issue with em, it’d be worth checking out.
@@Berserkable From what I've seen, the CSX is a pretty great gun-high capacity for its size even among the micro-compacts-but only if you prefer a manual safety/1911 manual of arms. So to be clear, what I and others in the comments here are looking for is the DA/SA equivalent with no need for a manual safety. That firearm still doesn't exist in 2023.
@@asathomas84 The closest you could get with DA/SA is the now discontinued CZ RAMI D. I've heard that the CSX is not good quality or reliable and isn't any better than the Smith & Wesson Shield Plus with the same size magazines.
@@Berserkable they are just ok. Weird and tricky reset and just single action, not double. That’s all. Decent enough pistol though
Sold. RMR CC ready with the paddle release. Shut up and take my money.
I can’t wait to get this!! I bought the VP9 and VP9 sk which I love especially when I added the pinky extender which fits like a glove, but it is still big and heavy to conceal carry.
they really didn't want you to touch it! LOL
Praise HK for making a paddle mag release model!
Paddle deez nuts
I can’t wait for this cc handgun! Thank you H&K!
HK micro cc tank👍💪
I have a VP9 with paddles. I Love It! Paddels Rule!
OK now where the F is Walther with one of these? My G43x has just been a placeholder for me while I wait for Walther to finally come out with something.
Looks like I've found a future replacement for my Hellcat. Excited to add one of these to my growing HK collection once it's released.
Don't replace your Hellcat! ...just add the HK...
@@kodoan411 Oh I plan on keeping it, it's a great little gun. But I'm a HK fanboy at heart, so to be able to have one that works for every occasion will be nice.
I hate how this is still not available
Finally a micro compact featuring $85 magazines. The market really needed to fill this gap.
I wish Walther would get back to putting the paddle release on their guns And other firearms makers would adopt a paddle release model
I loved my PDP but if they'd slap a paddle release on it, it'd probably be the perfect pistol for me.
I’ve been on the fence for awhile in getting a p365. Looks like I’m getting an HK instead. 😊
If you do further research this things sadly probably not hitting the US until 2025. It’s being made for German police right now according to HK and it *might* trickle over to the Americans at some point.
Finally. The VP9CC! Can’t wait!
Was so hoping their first microcompact would be a DA/SA. I didnt think it would happen, but damn.
We all were
This seems to be a prototype and I hope they can have a more aggressive grip texture on their final product. For the grip length I wish they had higher mag capacity but that's HK
Nonetheless, HK guns are always built with high quality and built like tanks. Really glad to see they kept the paddle and will be a modular gun.
Im waiting on Beretta or HK to provide the first Hammer fired Micro 9 !!!!
If Hans is there. where is Franz to “Pump you up!”😂😂
great interview,,,,james,,,,thanks
It's been a long time but I'm positive the wait will be worth it.
Are there going to be mag options with more than 10 rounds???
Yes.
@@tfbtvThis probably wouldn't pass muster with CA pistol roster.
"Imagine having to live that way."
- James Reeves on Commiefornia gun laws
Paddle release all the way. The button is a recipe for an unexpected mag drop.
Love it. I didn't know they were working on this. Hopefully it comes to the U.S.
Taurus was way ahead of its time when they created the pt111 G2 series.
Size, fit, capacity, ergonomics is just perfect and for a very budget friendly price.
As someone who's looking to get a new CC gun, I'm keeping an eye on everything. I like paddle-release (used to carry an HK on duty). However, I'd imagine the price will push me elsewhere (or it'll come to the U.S. neutered somehow). Interesting product - can't wait to see reviews on the trigger/weight/size, compared to other guns in the category.
Wait until Black Friday
I carry the VP9sk and was planning to get a Hellcat or P365 this year. This is exactly what I am looking for. How long do we have to wait?
Forever... Germany only
Can’t wait for this to be released for purchase!
I love my VP9. This will be a lot easier to carry. I can't wait to buy one. Thanks HK!
So this gets the optics cut, but the p30 I have to go to a whole different company. Still a neat pistol
No love for hammer boys :(
@@0dayExploit It's not 1987 anymore.
It sounds even better with the German accent
Word is that what you see in this video will not be available in the US - reportedly it falls into the 'Saturday night special' category. There will be a US version released Q3 - Q4, possibly Q1 of 2025.
Awesome to see this, but it’s been a really long time coming. When will it be released in the US or in Europe?
Paddle>Button it’s not a debate. I’ve only trained on paddle since my first gun was USP - thought that was a much smaller triangle than the VP and P30 series
The USA is the world's largest gun market dwarfing all others combined. USA loves button mag release & not paddle.
Quick! HK has a two thousand dollar micro compact!
Over priced with a paddle release, 5 years behind other manufacturers......yah yah.
@@zerofrindz but, but.... muh german engineering
Heck yes, good things happen in Nuremberg.
Got to have this!!
I thought we were FINALLY getting a micro 9 da/sa. Instead, it’s just another striker fired pistol.
You say that as if 95% of the market isn't buying strike-fired pistols. It's weird that you guys get butt hurt that a company is producing the version of a product which will sell 10x more.
Ask HK if they will have a Hammer version?? With the popularity of appendix carry, I don't understand why companies are not releasing hammer pistols so a person can "thumb" their hammer as they re-holster so they don't shoot their family jewels off by accident. Also, German Special Forces has a tender for a new pistol, it's due next week. What is HK submitting?? That modular version??
I think the striker indicator mentioned in this video is exactly what you’re asking for. Walther had it on their PPS line of single stack handguns - the striker has an extension at the rear of the slide that sticks out when the trigger is being pulled. You can feel it with the pad of your thumb as you re-holster. You can also buy aftermarket striker plates for your Glock that function the same way.
Hammer mechanisms need more vertical real estate where the slide and frame meet than what this pistol allows. Hammer length is directly related to strike energy; too short a hammer, not enough energy to reliably set off a primer. You could counteract this with an even stronger hammer spring, but this would siphon too much energy from the slide on its rearward stroke. All of this is a large part of why the industry moved to striker mechanisms. They’re much easier to engineer a low bore axis out of. They could probably design a hammer-based mechanism but it would absolutely require a completely different frame, and couldn’t possibly share the same modular FCU.
@@124thDragoon thanks for this post. I have a p30SK from LTT and love it. I’ve wondered why no one makes a smaller (mostly meaning thinner) DA/SA, but I assume the mechanism for that won’t fit in a 1-inch wide pistol. And, I assumed maybe if they could engineer that, the market for such a pistol would be too small to justify the investment.
jesus. another grand out of my pocket. the vp9 and vp9sk are hands down my favorite handguns. guess i need to add this one too
Lookin' forward to this. I used to carry a Ruger LCP II until the button magazine release got mashed while it was it my pocket - causing the magazine to be unseated when I drew it from my pocket. This would be horrible in a self defense situation. After it happened to me more than once, I got rid of it. The paddles are the way to go...
MSRP....ALL THE MONIES!!!
I feel a lot of bro love in this video…😂
you better believe it
I really like the paddle
If the trigger is close to the VP9 I'm sold
Are the guns at this show required to be in some kind of case?
I'm not sure how I feel about this. The VP9SK and P30SK I have are both really about as small as I'd like to go and that's WITH pinky extensions. I don't see a need to go smaller but I'll have to see it in person I guess.
I'll likely end up with one regardless. Like John says, you carry a firearm just in case. Shouldn't it be a H&K just in case?
The best of the best. Fight me.
I don't own an SK, but I do have an upgraded VP9 and it is the tits. Trigger is amazing out of the box, but with a bit of tuning it's probably the best striker trigger out there and beats out many hammer fired SA triggers. I'm not gonna fight you because you are 100% correct.
Very cool
thank you hans!
