Heckler & Koch VP9SK Sub Compact 10 Rd 9mm 3.4" Barrel Stainless Steel Cerakote Slide - 81000193

The eagerly anticipated stainless steel Cerakote slide subcompact model of the acclaimed Heckler & Koch VP Series handgun, VP9SK (in 9 mm), has all of the sought-after characteristics of larger frame VP pistols but in a more concealable design.

The highly-rated HK VP precision strike trigger is also found on the VPSK. The VP trigger surpasses those found on competitors. It has a short, light take-up with a solid, single action type break followed by a quick positive reset. The net result is trigger quality unmatched in production striker-fired pistols.

A small-scale interpretation of the completely adjustable VP grip feature — consisting of interchangeable backstraps and lateral grip panels — is replicated in the compact grip frame of the VP9SK. This allows the pistol to be easily modified to fit any individual user and is a feature found only on Heckler & Koch handguns. Molded finger grooves in the front of the pistol’s grip also instinctively position an operator’s hand for optimal shooting.

All controls are completely ambidextrous. Slide releases are present on both sides of the frame, and left- or right-handed shooters can easily activate the paddle-style magazine release.

PSK pistols use a proprietary captive flat recoil spring that helps reduce the recoil forces affecting the operator and the handgun, improving shooter control during rapid firing and prolonging component life span.

HK’s famous cold hammer-forged barrel — made from cannon grade steel — ensures a long service life. Similar HK barrels on 9 mm P30 models have fired more than 90,000 rounds in endurance tests in 2010. The polygonal bore profile, with no traditional lands-and-grooves rifling, contributes to longer service life as well as a slight increase in muzzle velocity.

Despite their small size, VPSK subcompacts have excellent weight and balance, making them naturally pointable, easy to control, and accurate to shoot.
