Heckler & Koch has updated their crowd-pleasing VP9 pistol series for 2025 with the new A1 standard, which brings a host of improved ergonomics, a better trigger, and more magazine options.

HK debuted the striker-fired, polymer-framed Volkspistole 9 in 2014 to augment the popular USP series and in the past decade, it has gained an almost cult following. The new VP9A1 series keeps the things people love while upgrading the feel and performance of the platform. The series will include a full-sized (4.53-inch barrel) VP9A1 F and a more compact (4.09-inch) VP9A1 K.

The new features include a fully customizable grip that works through a set of interchangeable backstraps and side panels, improved ambidextrous surface controls, an enhanced trigger with a nickel-Teflon coated trigger bar that HK says provides a smoother pull and cleaner break, a factory flared magwell, and additional front and rear maritime serrations.
