The HK VP9K delivers full-size performance in a compact striker-fired package designed for concealed carry and duty applications. This subcompact variant of Heckler & Koch's acclaimed VP9 maintains the ergonomics and reliability of its full-size counterpart while offering enhanced concealability. The VP9K features HK's proven striker-fired system with a crisp trigger pull and consistent reset.
What Makes This Different
The VP9K incorporates HK's ergonomic grip design with interchangeable backstraps and side panels, allowing customization for different hand sizes. Unlike many compact pistols that sacrifice capacity, the VP9K ships with a 15-round magazine while maintaining a grip length suitable for concealment. The ambidextrous controls and HK's renowned build quality set it apart from polymer competitors in the compact category.
