VP9 Grip

[Bobby Ricigliano]

Everyone thinks they have big manhands. In reality the small or medium grip swells are better for most peoplle.

The grips on the P30(L) feel even better than the VP9 but trigger-wise there's no comparison. I find that the Sig grips feel nothing like the HK grips.

Of the choices you listed, the E2 on my Sig feels almost as good as the VP9, then maybe the USPc. I don't think the standard Sig or full size H&K are even close in comfort, but all shoot better than I do.

Hopefully the photos will help you see the differences...

I sold my VP9, I was all about it at first, it felt good, it got attention at the range and it was an HK. But at the end of the day, my Glock 19 shoots better and is better built. I don't miss my VP9 at all, I still regret selling my USP that I sold back in 2007. If you want an HK get USP and add a match trigger.

I prefer the VP9 grip over the USP and 229, they're all good though. If you go compact I like my p2000 more than the USP. I've got to shoot a VP9 a few times in the last couple months and hands down like it more than any of the above mentioned. Enough that I'm actually paying the ridiculous market place price for one today.

Just curious as to what you think is built better on your glock? Not trying to start an HK vs Glock, i own more glocks than any other brand and love them. I've never thought that one was better quality than the other. They have their pros and cons but build quality wasn't one of them for me.

I have a small back strap and medium side panels. I like it. P226 with the regular grips work fine for me, too. But, you can customize the VP9.

No worries, I like HK's and glocks. I just feel that the VP9 was a more complicated design that offered me nothing over the Glock but with more possible points of failure. So buy build quality it's more that I prefer the simplicity of the Glock design.

I think that you're confusing mechanical design (how a mechanism works) with build quality (the quality of the components, materials, and assembly that go into that mechanism). I would agree that the Glock has a simpler mechanical design but there's no way in hell that it has a better build quality than an HK unless it's one of those full customs that runs 2x what an HK does.

I have 7 Glock pistols. I had to get use to the grip, but it feels good not. But, VP9 feels so natural.
