Features
The H&K VP9A1 series is a modest upgrade from the original. It features the same ergonomic polymer frame complete with a universal light rail and an infinitely pointable 60-degree grip angle. The pistol features the same distinctive cocking serrations and cocking ears that sit proud at the rear of the slide. This striker-action handgun features the same 5 lb. trigger with trigger safety and the same ambidextrous paddle magazine release and slide release.
“HK has a well-deserved reputation for reliability and durability. One thing I think we don’t get enough credit for is the shootability of our pistols. True to its name as the ‘people’s pistol’, people just shoot better with the VP9,” said HK Director of Sales & Business Development Nathan Schueth. “The VP9A1 takes that ease of use to an even higher level. The best striker-fired pistol just got better.”
The A1 comes in two variations: a full-sized F model with a 4.5 inch barrel and a compact 4.1 inch K model. The chief improvements of the original VP9 includes additional slide serrations, a nickel Teflon coated trigger bar to resist grit and corrosion, and a flared magazine well. In addition, the A1’s grip is modular with a selection of panels that allow for length of pull adjustment to take into account smaller and larger hands for optimal trigger position.
The H&K VP9A1 comes complete with tritium night sights and a proprietary VP9 optical footprint that is adaptable to fit most popular reflex sights on the market. Each pistol ships with a hard case and two 15-round or 17-round magazines, depending on the model you choose. See your favorite H&K dealer for the most up to date pricing and availability.
