The VP9 is Heckler & Koch's signature pistol designed for use with professionals and has been awarded official certification from the NIJ through their Compliance Testing Program through rigorous testing. The pistol features a striker indicator for easy condition identification along with rear rack notches for more positive grip on the slide when racking under high-stress situations. Interchangeable 3-part grip panels allow for up to 27 different grip combinations to custom-tune the pistol to the user. The VP9A1 combines beloved legacy features of the original pistol with updated grip panels, improved ambidextrous controls, and an enhanced nickel-teflon trigger. A flared magwell and additional front and rear maritime serrations aids in faster reloads and handling and is paired with an optic-ready slide compatible with Holosun's direct-mount SCS optics. The F Tactical model combines a full-sized configuration with a threaded barrel and suppressor height sights. This model includes a pre-installed Vortex CCW enclosed reflex sight. Two 15-round magazines are included.
