Still waiting for a poly frame P7...
I really enjoy my USP’s, I have to say, the VP9 is, IMO, the best striker fired pistol on the market.
Live with a P7 for a while and you'll see just how much of a dog the VP9 is.
My concern with the VP9 is fragility.
My concern with the VP9 is fragility. My concern with the P7 is not being swamped by Marines at the range. About half the marines I know have one for some reason. As a result, I shoot them fairly frequently and just don’t get it. They are fine pistols—capable of very good accuracy—but the grip is annoying. Notably, none of them carry their P7s unless they are going to a wedding or other formal event necessitating class and BBQ guns.
The VP9s that I have fired have felt really good in the hand. I thought polymer felt a little chintzy, but could be wrong. I have read that the striker can lock up really easily if oil or water gets in the channel, but am not sure how much I care. Beyond that, the ones I tried had the euro style paddles for mag release, and those seem a lot more breakable than a button. Though they worked great and very were ergonomic. Not sure if those are on current models or if they swapped to a button.Not every hand is the same. My VP9 fits spectacular. P7s and 8s are cute and meh.
You won't regret the 365, even if you only use it to defend yourself on the way to the store to get the new H&K, later.
And the new H&K the following week?
