Manufacturer’s Description

The Heckler & Koch (H&K) VP9SK is a semiauto pistol built on a polymer frame with a machined steel slide, and chambered in 9mm. It’s a Browning-type recoil-operated weapon, and it’s a compact version of H&K’s full-size VP9 (read our in-depth VP9 review here).

Other features include:

• A striker-fired trigger system;
• a captive flat recoil spring;
• a cold hammer forged barrel (H&K says it’s made from cannon-grade steel) with a polygonal bore;
• an ergonomic grip that includes three changeable backstraps, six changeable side panels and molded finger grooves;

• a large, recurved trigger guard to accommodate gloves;
• ambidextrous controls, including a paddle-style magazine release alongside the trigger guard;
• an abbreviated picatinny MIL-STD-1913 rail molded into the frame;
• diagonal grasping grooves on the slide front and rear, plus additional grip tabs (H&K calls them “charging supports”) mounted on the slide’s rear;
• a red striker/firing pin that’s visible when the striker is cocked;
• 13- and 10-round steel magazines with either flat or extended floorplates; and
• either standard three-dot sights, or night sights.

Note: H&K says you can use the 15-round magazines from the full-size VP9 and P30 pistols in the VP9SK, too.
