The HK VP9L SCS delivers extended sight radius and enhanced accuracy through its 5-inch polygonal rifled barrel and precision-engineered steel slide. This full-size striker-fired pistol combines HK's proven reliability with modern optic-ready capability and ergonomic customization.
What Makes This Different
The SCS (Slide Cut System) configuration features factory lightening cuts that reduce reciprocating mass while maintaining structural integrity. Unlike standard VP9 models, the VP9L's extended barrel length increases muzzle velocity by approximately 50-75 fps compared to compact variants. The polygonal rifling system reduces bullet deformation and extends barrel life beyond conventional rifling methods.
