The HK VP9-B Match Optics-Ready Semi-Auto Pistol is a stretched-out long-slide variant of the VP9 series pistols designed for competitive use. Starting off with the slide you'll notice weight-reducing lightening cuts that also function like forward cocking serrations. With a tapered front end, holstering is a breeze. The rear of the slide still features the VP9 racking tabs which aid in racking the slide without slipping. The slide is also machine-cut for optics utilizing an optics plate, which is not included. The polymer frame features a very comfortable grip with subtle finger grooves that fit a wider variety of hands when compared to other finger-grooved options on the market. You also get interchangeable backstraps and side panels for that perfect, tailored fit. The light, striker-fired trigger is simply amazing. The magazine button is that of a VP9B. This keeps things consistent with most other handguns vs the traditional HK paddle-style release.
