Heckler & Koch VP9 Reviews

this pistol is very well built and accurate, Very nice

currently I have no complaints.

the copper colored bb's seem to be too big. and they jam.

The good is accurate to the original from the outside and has good weight and sights. Accuracy was expected for a BB gun so I cannot complain. I got plenty of shots before having to replace my CO2.

This gun needs to be remade to be more realistic. The slide does not lock back very far and nowhere close to how far back the real firearm goes. There are loads of parts obscuring the opening of the chamber so you cannot look through it. The takedown lever is molded onto the slide and the gun cannot be field stripped. The metal magazine has parts of the action and doesnt just hold BBs. Overall it looks nice and realistic until you open it and start to use it then you realize it is a basic BB pistol with the facade of a VP 9 which is rather sad and shameful.

I would not have purchased this gun if I had seen images of it with the slide back and magazine out. I have bought numerous blowback BB guns such as the Glock, M&P 40, the Beretta 92 A1, 1911, and Sig P226, all of these have had blowback action, full size drop free magazines and realistic action and takedown. I thought this would be similar as nothing in the pictures or description indicated otherwise. Dont get this thinking it is like the others, it is not. This is a real shame for me as I love the VP 9 and hope someday it will be done justice and an accurate version will be made. For now it will stay in my collection but it has already become my least favorite gun.

I haven't been able to use it!!

Have the owner of the Company move his bonus into customer support!

the CO 2 Screw plug doesn't thread in . I have called 5times and never got to a live Person r after 15 minutes I was disconnected r I sent 3 emails over the past. 6 days . I have been requesting a replacement CO2 magazine I am certain the employees are overworked however the owner can increase the support resources

Had to return. Would not fire

Grip is very close to actual firearm. Allows one to develop intuitive grip and familiarity with controls without handling the real thing at the range.

As is common with smooth bore CO2 guns, accuracy is almost nonexistent past 5 yards. No, it is not my ability to shoot accurately as I have extensive experience with both pellet and rimfire/centerfire pistols. Would be willing to pay more for a VP9 pellet version.

Good as a training tool to familiarize yourself with the controls and develop a consistent grip. Perhaps I should have bought a "Blue Gun Trainer" instead. Definitely not for target practice or even plinking.

Perfect for training when the real weapon is unnecessary or not possible to train with. Perfectly realistic in looks, shape, design, weight and feel. Possibly even more so than the real thing if that were possible! LOL

Trying to get both the distributor -AND- the manufacturer to understand the nature of the problem described below, as I have repeatedly attempted doing so and have failed each and every time.

You must be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN of what you are purchasing when looking at this mode. It comes in a variety of packages. 6mm, .177bb, with orange tip, without orange tip, different type of Co2 propellants and delivery options, with extra backstraps, models without extra backstraps that will not work with extra backstraps either and some kits packaged as having three extra backstraps but don't and the pistol shipped in such packaging will not accept replaceable backstraps either, which is what I had shipped to me. And if you do order what you THINK the web site is telling you that you will be getting, there is NO guarantee that it will be the EXACT same unit or kit. NONE! As for customer service, you will get NO answers to your questions about such matters and will only get an RMA, which will NOT solve the problem, but rather only refund your purchase because there is NO getting through to customer service and making them understand the nature of the problem. Buyer Beware!

Very comfortable feel in your hand. Has decent blowback realism.

I wish that H&K would put out the same model but with better parts. The slide should be heavier and tight. Even if it compromises the amount of co2 distributed. I like the real feel. Also, it should be ambidextrous like the actual pistol. Slide release on both sides. The magazine should be more like the Beretta 92A1 and Sig Sauer X Five (Solid). Then in my opinion it would be close to perfect for training and realism. However, it is a fun plinker to own.

This is, as is usually the case, a magnificent pistol from H&K. The weight is fantastic..and the magazine is FULL-SIZED (a combination CO2 and BB vs. the tiny stick mags some pistols have.) It has sufficient power and beautiful, crisp blowback. The trigger is good for me, sights are fine..and I have a laser mounted and producing stunning accuracy for a BB pistol! You cannot go wrong -- get this pistol!

None.

Buy extra magazines! An remember the Pellgunoil!

I like the way the gun shoots and feels.

to change the magazine without changing the co2.

Impressive build quality, weight, and authenticity for this price. Reliable shooter, and more accurate than I expected (still nothing amazing, though). They even used the same magazine release controls as the real thing (ambidextrous paddles at the back of the trigger guard). I bought this because my favorite pistol is a VP9 that I've used extensively for the last few years. I was expecting something more like a toy, but was impressed with how similar it was to the real thing.

Trigger is pretty rough. It's a lot smoother than some other CO2 guns, but seems like it could be way better. Cost of magazines makes it hard to just take it out and keep the guests entertained rather than spend a lot of time cramming BBs into a magazine.

I learned that most of the really important parts of a magazine-fed CO2 gun are all in the magazine. That means the magazines are expensive (for a reason) and make up a significant portion of the weight of the gun. Also, you shouldn't expect to do quick magazine changes. I'm sure if you drop this magazine from the well like you would a regular pistol, you'll eventually render the magazine inoperable.

Other than the safety, this looks just like the real thing, I know, I own a real HK VP9. I really like the blowback feature, acts like a real gun as well.

The one major drawback on this gun is the trigger., It looks good but you have to pull it so far back before it shoots, it causes the shot to not be as accurate as it could be, that's the one thing I would work on fixing in the near future.

Just always shoot safe and have a blast.

Very realistic weight, looks and feel. Powerful, accurate. Very easy to load and shoot. Markings and logos identical to the real thing. Excellent pistol for training and target practice.

I would like to see a version that is able to be field stripped.

Buy extra mags for quick reloading and more fun.

The price ,fun fun gun feels like the real thing ,easy to load and shoot ,buy extra mags,so much fun for all the family ,Accurate plenty of power great plinking gun,cheap to shoot .

Adjustable sights

Alot of fun for the price ,

Design and weight and sights once again HK show why they are one of the leading gun makers I have quite a few Hks and have never had any issues with quality and performance.

I would love to see a field strip version or a pellet version ,and please ship them out in a box not the clamshell plastic.

Buy extra mags a and remember that the Allen key is a different size so don't lose it.
