re: UPDATE: Bought the VP9 // Buying my first pistol and deciding between Glock 19 and HK VP9

Vp9. Search wikiarms for best online price.

Actually, the glock 17 is the one comparable to the vp9, not the smaller 19. I have a glock 17 gen3 and after new sights and ghost trigger, its more expensive than the vp9. I've always been a fan of glock but they haven't changed. I also agree w/ the person who suggest the Walther. Can't go wrong with any of those three so go w/ what feels best in your hand.

This is all personal preference. Carson’s right about the trigger and sights, but my VP9 stays in the safe almost exclusively. Im much much better and faster with my 19 with Trihicon HD’s. Figure out a way to shoot them both before buying if you can.

I may be imagining, but I think the vp9 has a considerably higher bore axis. Therefore it recoils a tad differently. All this of course strictly based of my personal preference.

hold up. The 19 has metal sights, the 43/42 has plastic. The triggers isn't great the ergos aren't horrible. But, the gun is proven and a go-to choice of many.

However, having said that, the VP9 has a much better trigger and a more traditional grip angle. I love how the VP9 and P30 feel in the hand.

Both are top tier. I would go handle both and choose the one that feels best to the OP. As for the 10rd v the 15 rd, it's the same gun just with a different mag. So, don't think you are getting a smaller, more concealable, gun by going with a 10rd variant. That's for states with mag capacity limits.

I’d still take the VP9 over anything as far as stock pistols go.

I still like the PPQ slightly better.

One thing to keep in mind also is if you have big hands (mine are pretty big) you may get some slide burn with the Glock 19. I have to adjust my grip with my 19 so the slide doesn’t burn my hand. I did add a Ghost disconnect and it improved the trigger immensely.

I’ve played with the VP9 but haven’t shot it. I do have a USP .45 but those are two totally different guns.

Sights on PPQ are truly awful,

Completely agree. I would never run those. PPQ with Trijicon HDs and the Apex kit will be my non-compact carry gun.

I’m not OP but had same question regarding my first pistol. This is all great info....thx to all

Anyone have an opinion on, or range time with the CZ P10C? The hype leading up to its launch had it billed as the next in a long line of Glock killers.
