VP9 durability/round count

[Deputydave]

Chatting about the VP9 on GT and the question came up on the long term durability of the VP9. I did some googlefu and saw one with a 28k round count. I'm sure there are others as well. Seems like it would be ever bit as good as other modern poly striker-fired pistols. Especially considering HK was the innovator of the concept.

Anyone have/shoot a VP9? Impressions? Round count?

I've owned one, and the SK as well. Very comfortable, great trigger and a good shooter.

There is a grey framed one for sale locally for $600. However I guess it's not the push button mag release model?

I've got one of the early VP9's and have never had a malfunction of any sort through 26,000 some odd rounds . I've used the same 4 15 round mags loading 10 rounds per mag. The followers have deep gouges in 'em but still feed just fine !

What is considered early? Have you needed to replace anything yet?

No . The cases are still ejecting at 4:00 , the same distance as as always. It's serial number 11xx .

 

[GmanVP9]

11xx? Wow, Im 92xx area lol

Man, I'm liking the gray look more and more.

I have the grey frame VP9, as does my brother, and I really love the color combo!

I have 2 vp9's but not very high round count. However, I shoot USPSA with one of the guys on the Hk shooting team and he just sent his 3 VP9's to Hk to get resprung and he was well over 100k rounds. I am pretty sure he was referring to just one of the pistols with that many rounds, but it might have been all 3. I know he primarily uses one of the 3. I can ask him more next time I see him.

I've probably got close to 3k through mine. I don't bother cleaning it much. Wipe it down and lube it.
I love the paddle release. It's awesome if you have small hands.
