HK’s VP9A1 K is the first compact VP-series pistol to offer flush-fit 15-round magazines, giving you full-size capacity in a shorter slide and grip profile. The slide is milled for plates supporting nine popular micro-red-dot footprints, and forward/rear cocking serrations provide positive purchase for manipulation with or without an optic installed.
A flared magazine well speeds reloads, while the paddle-style mag release and slide stop levers are mirrored on both sides for true ambidextrous operation. The striker-fired action features a nickel-Teflon coated trigger bar and sear for a smooth, consistent pull that VP9 shooters expect.
The polymer frame uses HK’s length-of-pull–adjustable side panels and backstraps, offering 27 possible grip configurations to fit virtually any hand. Up front, a four-slot MIL-STD-1913 rail accepts lights or lasers without overhanging the muzzle.
The 4.09" cold-hammer-forged steel barrel is matched to luminous Tritium front and black serrated rear sights for a clean, fast sight picture in varied lighting. German CIP nitro proof and “DE” country marks confirm the pistol’s origin and quality control.
