It's the best striker trigger there is, full-stop. The VP9 has the better trigger, and at that by miles. What's going to set them apart? There are a few different things that could tilt the table in one or the other gun's favor. You could bet your life on either gun and have no worries. Both are used by police in the line of duty, both are used by competitive shooters.
Both are compact-ish striker-fired pistols that work as service pistols and carry pistols. This makes racking the slide ridiculously easy, as well as tactical reloads.Ĭomparing the H&K VP9 vs Glock 19 is not quite comparing chalk and cheese. The party piece of the VP9 is forward cocking serrations in addition to rear cocking serrations, but also the charging handles at the rear of the slide. The VP9 comes standard with tritium three-dot night sights, both drift-adjustable with a front blade and rear ramp. The Glock 19 comes standard with Glock's polymer sights though steel sights and night sights can be had as optional upgrades, as can the MOS slide with an RMR plate for mounting an optic. The trigger guard of the VP9 has a more generous undercut and the rear shelf of the frame is a little longer, which gives more shooters the ability to get a high, tight grip. The VP9 does as well, though they are lower-profile than Glock's. Gen 4 and previous Glock pistols have finger grooves on the front of the grip housing. The VP9 also comes with three swappable backstrap panels but also six (three sizes) side panels as well. Gen 4 and Gen 5 Glock pistols have swappable backstraps, and the gun comes with three sizes. The takedown lever, however, is not ambidextrous. Some people don't like them, which is why Heckler and Koch also makes a version with a button release, the VP9-B, which has a swappable button for left-handed operators.
The VP9, however, has ambidextrous magazine release paddles on the back of the trigger guard. Lefties can also swap the magazine release button on the Glock 19 to the left side if they prefer. The Glock 19 and VP9 both have ambidextrous slide release levers. Size alone might not sell you on the VP9 vs Glock 19, but where a lot of people start to lean towards the former is the features list.īoth pistols are ambidextrous. A VP9 will probably cost about $100 more. Glock doesn't publish MSRP (they have a minimum advertised price or MAP that retailers can't undercut) but you can expect to pay about $500, or maybe a little less. H&K has, in the fullness of time, revised their magazines to take 17+1 of 9mm whereas the factory stick used to hold 15. The H&K VP9 has a 4-inch barrel, with dimensions of 7.34 inches long by 5.41 inches tall by 1.32 inches wide, and weighs 25.56 ounces unloaded. The VP9 is similar, though it is slightly beefier. Unloaded weight is just over 21 ounces unloaded. Glock Gen 5 models are wider, with the addition of the Glock Marksman Barrel and beefed up internals. It stands 5 inches tall, 7.36 inches long and is either 1.26 inches or 1.34 inches wide, depending on the model generation you purchase. They're pretty close in many regards.though not as close in some. Let us begin a VP9 vs Glock 19 comparison with sheer dimensions.
