From the Vault: Heckler & Koch VP9 Pistol
This video is a "From the Vault" feature on the Heckler & Koch VP9 pistol, affectionately nicknamed the "People's Pistol." The presenter, Caleb, delves into the features of this German-engineered, striker-fired handgun introduced in 2014. He highlights its popularity in Europe and the US, its chambering in 9mm Luger, and its standard 15-round magazine capacity, with mentions of extended and reduced capacity options. Key features discussed include ambidextrous controls, interchangeable backstraps, a cocking indicator, an accessory rail, and white dot sights. Caleb also showcases his "tacticalized" VP9 with night sights and a threaded barrel, emphasizing the slide's cocking serrations and the unique ambidextrous magazine release paddles, contrasting it with the VP9B's traditional button release. The exceptional trigger, described as crisp and phenomenal for a striker-fired pistol, is also a point of praise. The video touches upon the various VP9 variants available for different applications (competition, police, military) and mentions the VP40 in .40 S&W and the compact VP9SK.
