Almost in "Saturday night special" territory plus who really pays MSRP anyway. I've done well with dealers or buying used over the years. Reviews have all been very positive unlike Saturday night special type firearms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cysko Kid Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I own one of their carbines in .45 and it's a fun gun to play around with. I don't see any reason anyone would want a 10 mm to carry. What do you expect to be assaulted by, the incredible hulk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it would cost you less to carry 2 Ruger LC9s's and have 5 more rounds total. LOL!🤩 But seriously that is one fine pistol! And it looks like the mag extension would work well for you too. dumb thing is expensive...about 800 bucks for the le version. but I want to check it out. I really like the dark earth. Haven't seen the green yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the dark earth. Haven't seen the green yet. MSRP is $819 plus tax. This place near me sells it for $686 plus tax and will order the dark earth for you at no extra cost. If you get it up there make them match this price or better. BTW I really like the sights on that pistol. Very visible and easy to line up quickly. And they "glow" in the dark. http://www.gunsplus.net/handguns/semi-automatic-handguns/heckler-koch-vp9-sk-9mm-339-black-finish-10rds EDIT: Comes with 3 magazines too.

So, here's a question - I've always been a manual safety guy - I'm old school. It comes with the territory - I'm older now - I just don't look it. But no Glocks have a manual safety? Maybe that HK I want doesn't come with a manual safety? the p320 doesn't come with one... etc etc etc. So, philosophically speaking, how tough is it to adapt to having no manual safety? "it won't fire unless you actually pull the trigger". Sure, what if you're walking through brush in the woods, and a branch grabs the trigger? "well, the trigger is covered by your holster" Sure, but what if you fell down a slope and the gun came out, and was bounding down along with you, and a branch hit the trigger? LOL Oh, here's another question - hammer fired vs striker fired? I'm a striker fired guy. Ever hike though a field of wildflowers etc, and get fuzzy seeds all over you? Well, I just think those fuzzy seeds could affect a hammer fired gun. LOL. Actually, hammer fired are more expensive to make. Maybe I'll end up with an M&P Shield... It's a great gun.

TexasAg1969 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Striker fired usually have a lower trigger pull poundage and so you don't end up squeezing the pistol off target. And one of the reasons I bought the LC9s standard rather than lower costing "pro" version was the extra added manual safety and the inability to fire a round in the chamber when the magazine is out. I just like those added safety features since I have grandkids, though in Texas it is illegal to have any weapon accessible to a minor (17 and under). Hiding it does not equal inaccessible either. It has to be locked away which is why I ordered an easy 3 number combination locking gun case to keep near the bedside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gun is always loaded (no matter what you may think). 2. Don't put your finger inside the trigger guard unless you intend to fire. 3. Be sure of your background before putting your finger inside the trigger guard. EDIT: If this had happened with you or me and if it is proven we had been drinking with a weapon on....................say goodbye to the CC License. Ain't allowed.

Texas law reads that you are not allowed to take a handgun with your LTC (License To Carry) into any establishment where at least 51% of it's sales are from alcoholic beverages. That rules out the bars but not the restaurants. Since I've never been a bar guy I have nothing to worry about there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
