H&K VP9

The VP9-B is H&K’s nod to American thumbs: the same striker-fired VP9 everyone raves about, with the paddle mag release swapped for a good old push button. You still get the charging supports that make racking the slide easy, a trigger that’s famously clean for a factory striker gun, and swappable backstraps and side panels to tailor the grip to your hand. This one comes with three mags, a 15 and two 17s, so you’ll spend more of range day shooting and less of it loading.
