Heckler & Koch VP9K A1 Optics-Ready 9mm Compact, 4 in Barrel, 15+1, Black — Made in Germany
This German-made HK VP9K from the VP9A1 Series is an optics-ready, compact 9mm with a 4-inch cold hammer-forged barrel and polygonal rifling. It features HK's Hostile Environment black nitride slide finish, a glass-fiber-reinforced polymer frame, and the VP-series trigger system. Ambidextrous controls, a paddle-style magazine release, and a modular grip system round out a well-equipped package, with DE/CIP proof marks and HKI Columbus, GA import markings on the gun.
Condition
Overall Condition: Excellent condition, showing only faint signs of any prior use or handling.
Bore Condition: Excellent - Clean, mirror finish, no signs of wear.
Bore Rifling: Excellent - Well-defined polygonal rifling.
Specific Condition Notes: The Hostile Environment slide finish is pristine with no holster wear. The HK modular grip panels are sharp and unmarked. The striker-fired action functions properly with the VP-series trigger. The cold hammer-forged bore is mirror-bright. Overall, this presents as a near-new example.

The VP9K A1 slide is factory optics-ready with a fitted cover plate and forward/rear serrations for confident manipulation. Iron sights are installed: a high-visibility green front blade paired with a plain black rear notch for a clean, fast sight picture.
Ergonomics and controls reflect the A1 updates: ambidextrous slide stop levers, HK's paddle-style magazine release, a flared magwell, and an expanded modular grip system with interchangeable backstraps and side panels (A1 length-of-pull adjustment). Capacity is 15+1, and two 15-round magazines are included.
The striker-fired system uses a nickel-Teflon coated trigger bar and incorporates a rear-plate red-dot striker cocking indicator. The frame is glass-fiber-reinforced polymer with an integrated accessory rail, while the slide wears HK's black nitride Hostile Environment finish.
This example is German-made with DE and CIP N proof marks and is imported by HKI Columbus, GA. The slide is model-marked "VP9K," and the serial is repeated on the slide and barrel, consistent with HK factory marking practices.
