With the HK VP9A1, the best pistols (and the best shooters) become even better. The VP9’s well-earned reputation for being a handgun that genuinely helps people shoot more accurately is supported by numerous reports from law enforcement, showing significant improvements in qualifying scores after adopting it. All A1 upgrades to the VP9 focus on strengthening the connection between serious users and their pistols. The improved trigger, grip frame, and controls all function more effectively with the user in the relentless pursuit of performance. For the first time in the VP series, the VP9A1 features a true compact ,K, model. With a 4-inch barrel and a shorter frame, the ,K, is an excellent concealed carry option, sitting between typical full-sized and subcompact pistols.
