Heckler & Koch’s Striker Fired VP9SK Introduced
People attending the NRA annual meeting in Atlanta recently had a chance to see HK’s new VP(SK, a striker fired 9mm subcompact with all of the sought-after characteristics of the larger frame VP models but in a more compact design. With a retail price of $719, the VP9SK continues HK’s trend of affordability in a superior quality handgun. The VP9SK is made in Germany and carries HK’s Lifetime Warranty. It is a small-scale version of the completely adjustable VP grip feature -consisting of interchangeable backstraps and lateral grip panels. This allows the pistol to be easily modified to fit any individual user and is a feature found only on Heckler & Koch handguns. The highly-rated HK VP precision strike trigger is also part of the VP9SK, with a short, light take-up that has a solid, single action break followed by a short positive reset. Every control is completely ambidextrous. Slide releases are present on both sides of the frame and the paddle style magazine release can be easily activated by left- or right-handed shooters. HK’s patented charging supports, introduced on full size VP pistols, are also present on the VP9SK. VP9SK pistols have an abbreviated Picatinny rail molded into their polymer frame for mounting lights and accessories. VP9SK pistols can use a variety of proven HK magazines, including compact double stack 10-rounders with flat or hooked ergonomic floorplates. New 13-round and 15-round magazines with magazine sleeves that replicate the grip profile of the full size VP will also be available later in the year.
