    So I was tossing up the Glock9mm and HK VP9, and decided on the VP9. I must admit, this is the most accurate pistol Ive ever shot. To be more specific, its the pistol Ive been able to shoot the most accurate. My XD45 is great, but I find myself muscling that pistol to fight the recoil. The VP9 just feels like a musical instrument in my hands. Im pretty impressed with it.



    And the night sights are pretty slick

    After 2:30 tomorrow afternoon would be fine. Might be checking out some circuits at one of the plants on Sunday. Not sure what time though.

    Well, I got to put alot more rounds through it this weekend with a fellow member. SHoots really well. Only issue I came across is that my thumb might be making contact with the slide catch when the last round is fired. This makes the slide not lock to the rear. So I will have to put my thumb in a different place. No big deal, I just gotta make it a habit now.

    Now I need to decide on a laser/light combo. I like the viridian. The TLR combo is great, but its big. And of course the holster I choose will need to accommodate it

    I just put the two replacement springs in my VP9 from HKparts and it makes the already great trigger feel much better.... think it was like $15 worth of parts.

    That results in a lighter trigger pull with a weaker reset of the trigger.

    I tested my reset over and over again, and with the lymann it only took up maybe .25 in weight. Everything else felt fine, I put 400rds down range with after and everything felt great, used regular 115gr and some crit defense.

    I think total I have about 1100 rounds through my vp9, all in all if it ever caused a problem its easy to swap springs back.

    Make sure you buy some extra mags NOW! I bought the LE package that comes with 3 and bought an extra. I heard they are not producing any more VP9s or VP9/P30 mags until fall 2016.
