Heckler & Koch has just released a new crossover-sized model of the VP9A1 called the VP9A1 X.
Earlier this year, Heckler & Koch released the VP9A1, an updated version of the company’s already excellent VP9 9mm pistol. It’s available as either the VP9A1 F full-size with a 17-round frame or as the VP9A1 K with a 15-round frame, but H&K has just announced a new crossover-sized version called the VP9A1 X that features the 4-inch barrel of the K model and the full-size frame of the F model.
Because it’s still an A1 model, it has all the same upgrades as its predecessors like improved ergonomics, an integral magwell, enhanced controls and a nickel-teflon coated trigger bar. It’s also available as the VP9A1 X Tactical with a threaded barrel.
Director of Sales & Business Development for H&K, Nathan Schueth, said this about the new model:
The crossover size of the ‘X’ is ideal for many customers today. The shorter slide allows for more compact carry or shorter holsters, a welcome addition for our Law Enforcement customers … If this size seems familiar to you, that’s because it is the exact size of the original ‘A0’ VP9 that started it all. With the A1 improvements, +2 capacity increase, and 100% optics-ready configuration, the A1 X may be the right size for you.
MSRP for the VP9A1 X is $1,050 and MSRP for the Tactical model is $1,150. Both are available now.
