Heckler & Koch VP9 Optics Ready 9mm Luger, Full-Size, 4.09" Barrel, 17+1, Black
This HK VP9 Optics Ready is a full-size, German-made 9mm with factory optic cut, ambidextrous controls, and a cold-hammer-forged barrel. It shows light prior handling, has a bright, clean bore, and comes with the HK hard case, operator's manual, interchangeable backstraps, and one 17-round magazine.
The slide features forward and rear cocking serrations with a black finish, while the polymer frame offers a stippled grip and finger-groove contouring. Iron sights include a front post with a bright green dot and a rear square-notch blade. An integral Picatinny accessory rail with four slots supports light or laser attachment.
Controls are fully ambidextrous with dual slide stops and HK's paddle-style magazine release. The VP9 uses a striker-fired, short-recoil, Browning-type locked-breech action. Proofs include the DE country code and German proof marks near the ejection port, along with the HKI Columbus, GA importer mark.
The 4.09" barrel is cold-hammer-forged with polygonal rifling. Capacity is 17+1 rounds, and overall dimensions are approximately 7.34" long, 5.41" high, and 1.32" wide. Empty weight is about 25.6 oz. The factory optic cut is present; the cover plate has been removed.
