Heckler & Koch has made some improvements to its VP9A1 line and showed us a couple new models at SHOT Show 2026.
For this new generation of VP9A1 handguns, HK kept the great ergonomics but removed the finger grooves seen on previous models, extended the ambidextrous slide lock/release levers, and cleaned up the trigger.
The VP9A1 K, or simply the VP9K, is a compact version with a shortened frame similar in size to a Glock 19. The VP9A1 X, or VP9X, is comparable to a Glock 19X, with a compact slide but extended grip frame. Both models are optics ready.
