Pickup up a VP40 in the spring. I guess I forgot to post it.. I had 40's long before I ever got a 9. I felt it was time to go back!

Here it is compared to the VP9. The height and length dimensions are the same, but the 40 Slide is way beefier.
Where the 9 Slide has a beveled width profile, the 40 is square.

They have a Mark 23 also.. But I can't lay out that kind of cash for what is really a trophy gun..
I watched interviews with guys who's era was this gun and they all said it's just to big.. LOL

Have handled the HK's, nice, but won't buy them. HK is basically an anti gun gun company who doesn't believe anyone not LE or military should have access to their weapons. Kinda like Springfield and their dumb CEO. Not going to get my money To much competition out there to not look elsewhere. I keep finding nice Italian pistols and knives. Beretta, Tanfog, AGA Campoline..That's as close to leaving com bloc stuff as I've come outside of some revolvers and such.
 
They are a bit exclusive.. The Guns they sell in Germany a not the same ones they sell in the US.. BU if you know, you can get the parts AFAIK..

They are nice but I don't find them to be functionally any better than a whole slew of other handguns.

If it says Made In Germany on it it is. They produce some in the US now, but not all of them.

By the way, the ones made in the US are assembled here with parts made in Germany.

Everything ain't for everybody. The Tanfoglio thing made me laugh. And Beretta ? Their handguns are shit. The 92 was ok, but it was plagued with issues. Ain't getting 90k rounds out of one of those without a failure.

I guess you enjoy being wrong.
 
I'd go for something like the Glock 19 or the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield.
