Recently had one of my 3 dot sights come off my VP9, called HK was on hold for all of 5 seconds, talking to a real person, very friendly and funny. Offered the option to send in my slide or get a whole new rear sight sent to me for free. Great customer service and he even mentioned how they took this "You suck and they hate you" to heart. I think this video really touched home for the company and they are trying to fix any issues. I'm very happy with their customer service much better than some other companies.

In Germany they still treat civilian customers like they don't exist. But it's understandeable because the civilian market around here is absolutely tiny compared to the US. Competitive shooters and hunters in Germany are like a small group of mythical beings that live underground and never tell a normie about their "dangerous" hobby ;)

I had a similar experience about six months ago. A white dot insert popped out of the rear sight on my P30. A brief conversation where they asked me to send the slide in. One day turn around and the slide was back on my gun within three days. On a side note - I'm hoping to see the SFV P9 CC available here in the US civilian market. If you're interested, do a Google search for 'SFV P9' to find this as it won't appear on the regular HK website. No word from HK as to when it might be available.

John, I'm probably the one guy who will disagree with you about H&K Customer Service. They have always answered my emails, phone calls and questions. I find them to be excellent in service. I have a VP9 which I've tried to overheat, dry out though use, run a variety of ammo through it and have never had the weapon system fail me. H&K is awesome as a weapon system and company. Nice video discussion. Thank you

I have heard they have really improved customer service and listening to customer feed back and this gun was built based more on what the american civilian wanted in a hand gun. Before they did not take much input from customers. Also I believe they opened a plant in Georgia that this gun is made in not for sure but I do know that it is made in the States. Glad to hear that they are doing better. Going to order my VP9SK this week

​@@jvmiller1995 . All Vp9's are made in Germany. The only things we get here in the U.S that are made here are the MR series and HK45c's. They did however open Georgia plant, lots of weird heresay about H&K. They built this gun because that's where the obvious market is right now....cheap striker fired guns. I've had just about all VP's except for the VP40. I still have a VP9 long slide. I won't bore you with the long list of other HK's I have. Enjoy that sk, it's a great gun. On magazine capacity, HK designs their mags to last many thousands of rounds and are the best mags out there. There's always HK newcomers that bitch about this. Some have said that HK is a magazine company that makes guns. They simply will not compromise the longevity to try fit in that crowd. This is directed more towards Active Protection. My worry is that HK will listen too much to the American consumer and just become another SIg type company that rams crap out and lets the people become the Beta test subjects.

I have Glocks and M&Ps, and I would trust my life to those, but out of the box the H&K had the right combination of ergonomics, trigger, accuracy (for some reason I can shoot this gun better than my Glocks) and reliability. I like the VP9 so well that I'm looking at adding an SK to my collection.

Am I the only one who thinks that there is some ass clown at the HK factory in Germany who was designing the VP9/P30 magazines and just threw his hands in the air and said, "15 rounds is enough. Fuck it. Sure the grip is long enough and the magazines have enough internal volume, we could get 17 or 18 rounds in there. But why would anybody need more than 15?"
@ostiariusalpha
@ostiariusalpha 6 жыл бұрын
There are both legal and supposed engineering reasons for the 15rnd limit. The legal reason is that 15rnds is the plain capacity limit for handguns under German law, that's what you get in every pistol over there. The supposed engineering reason is to increase reliability: the HK mag has a more gradual transition from the double columns to the single feed than Glock and M&P mags, and it doesn't hyper compress the spring when fully loaded like those two mags do. This can supposedly lead to more spring set, but I haven't heard a mass of complaints about Glock mags being less reliable; that's HK's story though and they're sticking to it. If you haven't seen what a hyper compressed spring looks like, TFB had an article showing one: www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/04/27/potd-windowed-magazine-shows-twisted-inside/#comments

I agree and have even made a video on this. Most people want approval of their choices. They want to feel good and justified in what they just spent money on. Whether it be a type of gun, brand of gun, specific caliber, or even a truck or motorcycle, they want approval from others. And if you disagree with them, well then you're just an idiot! Because hey, I only buy the best and gosh-darn-it, you all better agree with me!!! That kind of thinking. And yes, that kind of ignorance, low self-esteem or self-worth. Or maybe, just dumb as dirt. But hey, that's ok. They don't bother me. I have been shooting for over 45 years and I know what I like. I make videos on things I like and if someone doesn't like what I bought, they are free to buy what they want. Simple as that! I did buy a VP9. Actually, I bought 2. Sold the first one due to a great trade/sale, missed it so much that I bought another one. I like the large frame Glocks for shooting, but not for carry. Why? They are big! The smaller Glocks rub blisters on my finger under the trigger guard. So I don't carry one anymore as I train regularly with my carry guns. Doesn't mean I think Glocks are crap and those who shoot them are stupid bung holes. It just means they don't work for me. If they work for you, that's great! Glocks are fantastic guns, even though they don't work for me. I've filed on so many of my old Glocks to get that little "spot" to where it won't rub a blister on me that I just gave up and went back to carrying my 1911s. And yes I can get my 1911 out of the holster and two rounds on target in less than 1.5 seconds from a level 2 holster, just like I could with my Glock. And like I can with my VP9. Heck I've actually got off two shots with my 1911s even faster than that. I carry cocked, not locked. Why? Because my 1911 carry guns are model 80s, with the firing pin safety and all, like a Glock. So I don't have to lock the slide lock for my 1911 to be safe. But the VP9 is so sweet in my hands!!! I can shoot 500 rounds at the range and not one blister!!! With a Glock, by the time I reached 150 rounds, I had a blister forming. Sad as I liked the versatility of a Glock. Hopefully the VP9 will reach that point. It already has a ton of stuff you can buy to trick it out, so to speak. But hey, it's pretty darn good out the box! Thanks and shoot straight!

I don't mind a critical review taking any side. I do get bummed when some says "Gun X is a loser" without any support. For instance, I have a Hi-Point carbine, and it is, repeat is, a cheap rifle. It also is very accurate, does not misfire or jam, and it has the best support of any gun I've owned. Lifetime guarantee. But some people say, in essence "Anyone who has a Hi-Point is stupid and has an ugly sister." You wanna say something, be my guest, but forget the ad hominem attacks.

P30 magazines are about the same size as G17's, but minus 2 rounds because HK thinks you suck and they hate you. No, wait, it's not that-it's because the engineers at Oberndorf absolutely could not figure out how to fit 17 rounds in a magazine that size. Or maybe it's just because they designed them so the magazine spring does not bottom-out, extending its life and enhancing reliability, especially for those unit armorers/departments that almost never change their springs. Also, love the Terminator plasma weapon reference.

Thanks for covering this pistol. It got me to looking at the paddle magazine release. I've been unable to release a magazine with a single hand and now I know that the paddle release options will work for me in this regard. I will consider this pistol more closely, and perhaps others with this feature, when I'm in the market for a new firearm.

I don’t subscribe to HK one way or another. Historically I’ve never been a fan of a lot of their designs. We switched to the VP nine a couple of years ago as well. We had to reach out to the US based customer support staff to ask a question. They got back to us I think in 24 hours? It was definitely not 36. We like the guns. Marky

@John1911GunBlog.....I'm an unabashed HK fanboy. Have been for a long time, but i just love them from a reliability standpoint. I had been hounding my friend to buy a USP when they came out (he had his permit first). Got my permit, went to the store and didn't like the way it felt. Bought a S&W Sigma instead based solely on feel. What a POS. Ended up trading it and $300 for a USP. I have a HK G3K....a G3/HK91 modified to a 12.4" barrel. The thing will shoot anything out of it, including cigarette butt, but it isn't as easy to shoot as my FN. Gave it to my son after NY passed the idiotic safe act, but he's giving it back when I move next year. Happy days I will say that my VP9 is both reliable as heck AND comfortable. This gun I truly love. When I move, I'll get a carry permit and that's what I'm going to carry. Until then......my Benchmade is all I carry. Ugh

Love the gun and trust mine to protect me and my family, I carry 3 other guns switching guns out to carry daily and the VP is the one I go to most often.

There are only two things that are important in pistol choice in my opinion. 1) The gun is proven to be reliable after at least 1000 rounds of testing including plenty of your carry ammo. 2) You feel comfortable with the pistol and shoot it well. Like a spouse, a pistol is a very personal choice. Keep up the good work seen on your channels!

John you need to shoot a couple Sig 320's if you want to experience a really good striker gun trigger. I say a couple so you know it's not a fluke. That was another reason the Army adopted it though it may not have been officially mentioned.

Yeah a Sig 320 isn't a VP9 or a Walther or sorry to say even a M&P 2.0. The P320 is is my duty weapon. It's a good gun with the ergonomics of a a Ryobi cordless drill. The trigger is good, just good. The VP9, Walther and Smith's triggers are more positive. Sorry I can't agree with the assessment as a police 34 year firearms instructor. Factually the Canicks trigger is better and the gun is half the price of a Sig. Paying for a name. The Sig 320 is like a Glock. Over priced reputation. Good but not really the best. VP9 is better as is a Walther. Yeah I carry a Sig on duty but not off duty.

I carry a PPQ, and have shot VP9s. My son has a VP9. Both are excellent guns. Unlike John, I prefer the PPQ paddle. It is longer and easier for me to operate. You can't go wrong with either. IMO, it is better to spend time on training, than finding the "best" gun.

I don't get it. All you have to do is drop your trigger finger straight down to hit the release. With the HK you have to bend the finger to reach back towards the grip. In fact, you can use the exact same motion to activate the PPQ paddle, since you can push it at the same place as the VP9. Some also use their middle finger. To each their own.

I absolutely LOVE your video! I just bought a HK VP9 (yesterday). I'm new to guns, never shot one before last year when my wife and I got our CCW's. My first time at the range last year, a friend brought his VP9 and for whatever reason I really liked it, Found a good deal and decided to add it to my very small collection (Sig P320 RX, Sig P365 on the way, Smithfield XD9 for the wife, and a S&W AR 15-22 that I have yet to shoot...). Just wanted to compliment you, I've watched dozens and dozens of hours of reviews, comparisons, self defense, CCW and training videos and this one IMMEDIATELY hit me as one of my favorites. Love your style, delivery, sense of humor, and open mindedness when discussing pros and cons, very easy to watch and educational. I will be bookmarking this video and coming back to watch many more videos you have on your channel. Thanks for a job well done, I and your other viewers appreciate guys like you!

I have never understood why anyone considers having to pull the trigger for disassembly to be an issue. If someone manages to have a negligent discharge in the process of disassembling your gun, they probably aren't responsible enough to handle guns. If you're going to take apart a firearm, having the presence of mind to at least make sure the gun is clear of all ammunition is rule 1 and it always has been. As I said before, If someone is so out-to-lunch that they forget to empty their weapon before disassembly, I'd say that being a gun guy just isn't for them. They should probably take up a new hobby.

I guess most guns being built for right handed shooters caused my brain to adapt, but I have no issues with accuracy, even being all discombobulated. Lmfao. Btw... Just to show how messed up I really am... I shoot rifles left handed, so depending on the rifle, I get shells flying at my face and right arm.
