I had worked for HK in Columbus, Ga for a time. And I am here to tell you this pistol in my opinion is more ergonomic than any Glock Gen 1-5 pistol. And very accurate. Great pistol!
I agree 100% One of the best on the market right now
Even though they're next door cousins I don't buy into Glock hype I've shot enough of them they're good out of the box but not the best
@@BlackBearOutdoors And Walther PPQ M2 ?
@@darthtyranus7683 Glocks are great because of their reliability and upgradeability. That's basically it lol
In some parts of Germany the police actually uses this as an duty pistol. I shot it a lot in training an really like it, especially because it's so easy to clean.
They are very nice pistols. Smooth shooters as well. Thanks for supporting our channel!
The paddlestyle on lots of Euro pistols. Wich ons exept H&K and Walther?
Another good informative video, For some reason I liked the weight and feel of Glock. Again I cannot wait to try this one!
This HK is lightyears ahead when it comes to comfort and ergonomics in my opinion. I am sure you will enjoy it
Great teacher, love him
Thank you! Great video
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for supporting our channel :)
Yes but how does it compare to the USP? What have they improved on over the USP????
Garbage and Heckler & Koch don't belong in the same sentence.
Get the Long Barreled Version with the SF Trigger. Optic Mount is Optional.
😎 🤠 🤓
Great video. Well done.
Thanks very much! Thanks for supporting our channel!
You speak out „Heckler & Koch“ very good! Greetings from Germany
Thanks very much and thanks for supporting our channel!
Really been enjoying your videos from up here in Canada. Can you tell me how this compared to say a glock 19 or 17 in terms of recoil and trigger feel?
Dylan Ferreirinha The HK shoots nice and flat and recoil feels good due to the superior ergos. The trigger is a vast improvement over the Glocks. Hope this helps. Thanks for supporting our channel!
@@BlackBearOutdoors Thanks so much for replying so quickly. I may be starting up my own firearms channel here soon, will be sure to mention you if I do.
Have you seen/shot the long slide version or the VP9L? This is one I would love to see you comment on and compare with both the normal VP9 and its competitors like Glock and Walther
Dylan Ferreirinha I haven’t yet but if I get the chance to I sure will
@@BlackBearOutdoors me and a buddy both picked up hks at the beginning of the month. I got a USP and he got this one. Do you have any opinion on which of the two are better? (Both in 9mm)
@@clancyrosenberg614 HK snobs will say the USP is \better (because price always means quality right?) but in terms of actual shootability and performance at the range, VP9 is far superior. Nicer trigger overall and more ergonomic imo. Both are fantastic.
Very cool Black Bear
Thanks very much and thanks for supporting the channel :)
Great video!

Is it possible to reduce the reset length and lighten the trigger poundage?
I am not sure exactly what gets improved by it, but I know HKParts does a match trigger spring kit for it. Thanks for supporting our channel!
Yes, but unless you want to send it to a gunsmith for hundreds of dollars, you're gonna have to go with an aftermarket trigger. I personally prefer the lazy wolf combined with HKparts match sear spring (stock TRS). You get a 3.5lb pull with similar takeup but a MUCH shorter and crisper break as well as a shorter reset. It's amazing.
@@asdfghjk2933 - Thanks. I ended up going with the MCarbo kit which replaces the return spring and sear spring. It lowered the poundage and still has the factory trigger pull which is fairly crisp compared to everything else I've used (Glocks, Springfield Armory Hellcat, M&P, etc). One of these days I'll have to try out the Lazy Wolf trigger replacement to see how much better it is. I wish more people would make accessories for HK pistols like they do for Glocks. That HK VP9 is sooooo much better in every way than any other pistol I've ever owned. Straight out of the box it's ready to go. With Glock you've got to adjust all kinds of stuff before it's acceptable.
@@__-pl3jg Very nice, I think the Mcarbo spring kit uses pretty much the exact same parts as the HKparts version. I agree, the VP9 is a fantastic pistol. My favorite by far. I wouldn't trade it for any other striker pistol out there.
The stock VP9 trigger especially with the springs you have is amazing but, It's soooooo worth the upgrade. I have a short on my channel showing the break and reset of the lazy wolf trigger if you're curious.
Are you South African? That accent sounds familiar
Yeah!!!
Which is better of these? H&K VP 9; S&W M&P 9 M 2.0; GLOCK 17 GEN. 5...thanks
They are all good and reliable. My favourite of those is the HK though. Nice trigger, good ergos and so on.
@@BlackBearOutdoors...thank you so much...😉
@@fabriziodesimone2439 You are most welcome :)
I own all three and have to agree with Black Bear, all are excellent, the ergonomics of both the HK & MP are close with the trigger advantage going to the HK. That’s why I’m planning a trigger job on the MP.
…. And Glock, well, it’s a Glock 😏🤙
I hate the fact that Canada gets the German made version instead of we Americans get USA Columbus
Its probably about import laws. Same with IWI also. The X95's in Canada come directly from Israel and not from IWI US. Thanks for supporting our channel!
Black Bear Outdoors No problem . US and European import laws are confusing and very strict , Im just a viewer and will be considered subscribing to your channel, also I’m looking into this handgun cause Im thinking about getting it was my first handgun because I don’t like Glock at all
@@Chris09978 I would suggest when going for your first handgun, handle a few in your local gun store and see what feels good to you. If you can, rent one and shoot it at the range before you decide. The HK would be an excellent choice, but guns are like shoes. Its a very individual choice :)
Black Bear Outdoors yeah that’s true I’ll keep that in mind thanks for the advice
I love this gun, fantastic to shoot. Stupid the mag is limited to 10 rds. Nonsensical gun laws.
The difference between the the Glock trigger and a PPQ is the difference between the Grand Canyon and an ant hill. The VP9 is right there with the PPQ. The Glock should not have been mentioned. They suck!
In all fairness, the new glock performance trigger is pretty damn nice. I guess you could argue that an upgraded VP9 or PPQ/PDP trigger still destroys it, which would be correct.
You sound a bit South African. Thanks for a great review
The sfp9 is such an accurate tool at 25 yards
MR GAMEdev That is for sure! Thanks for supporting our channel!
Great video but its got a long reset
what caliber is that?
The SFP9 / VP9 is a 9x19 or 9mm luger as it is commonly known
How many meters is this grouping?
Roughly 15y if I remember correctly. Thanks for supporting our channel!
@@BlackBearOutdoors not bad at all.
@@lachezarkrastev7123 They are good shooters for sure
@@BlackBearOutdoors indeed my group is 5 cm on 7 meters
15 rounds ... but this is a brand new - an old one with 100 000 rounds grouping is twice the size

thinking about this v. P320. But since P320 is not made in Western Germany I guees HK is better nowadays
Reminder that P320 had horrible drop safety issues. Could be fixed now, but I wouldn't risk it. VP9 drop safety on the other hand is one of the best engineered out there.
Too bad its unreliable Berlin police gave back over 1600 of them to factory to fix them ... if they had made it as reliable as USP it would've been one of the best pistols out there.
What is the problem with these ? I'm looking for my first handgun, the prices are raising, I opted for the Canik tp9, or walther ppq, or this H&k sfp9 /vp9 that I really like
@@LudovicoMaffii they are somewhat less reliable than Glocks or Walther PPQ/PDP, they get stuck sometimes, I don't know all the issues but if I needed a gun for self defense I'd go with another one to minimize the risk. Most modern guns are very reliable, including VP9 but it does have some issues, that said I've seen German border police carry them. And if you want it for range shooting they are probably just fine.
@@denis3208 Bullcrap. My VP9 has 4000 rounds through it with zero malfunctions (half without lube or cleaning), even with crappy 115gr ammo. It's as reliable as any glock out there. There is nothign on the internet about German police returning their VP9s. Why are you spreading this misinformation? Glock fanboy?
@@asdfghjk2933 outliers always exist, just because they made some that function doesn't mean its a reliable gun. Berlin police sent over thousand back because they malfunctioned. Never heard any police department or military sending back thousands of Glocks for repair, Walther PPQ/PDP, USP, MP 9.
@@denis3208 Can you provide a link to prove?
How about you let the people know the caliber(s) it comes and the suggested retail price? Those things would be helpful. Also to any fool that listens to this guy and fires a weapon with his thumb touching the slide, you get what you deserve
