Today was Bring Your Gun To Work Day! Just kidding... that's every day.
Anyways... got to the range this afternoon to do some shooting after making some changes to my VP9 grip panels last night. I put on the small back strap to reduce that exaggerated hump and installed the large side panels to keep the swell up a little bit. Seemed pretty comfortable.
I really like this gun. It's still a real toss up for me between the P320 and VP9. Sitting at home and fondling/dry firing the gun... I often think I prefer the P320 in both ergonomic feel and trigger feel. When it comes to actually shooting, I seem to shoot the VP9 better. Not a lot, but just enough to be consistently a slight amount better.
My VP9 has the Heinie SlantPro QWIK sights on it and they're really nice. I usually put Trijicon HD's on everything but wanted to give these a run. I like the wide 'QWIK' notch. I put the regular Heinie's on my P320C and the tighter picture is still accurate, but I feel a little more accurate and definitely faster with the QWIK cut.
The targets below were at 30 feet(10 yards) and show after the first 10 rounds, after 20 rounds, and finally after 50 rounds. Glamor shots from the landscaping rocks outside of my office complex.
Overall, I'm really happy with the gun. The feel of the actual trigger I like better on the P320, but during live fire the VP9 obviously shoots just fine. There's a little bit of a weird 'hump' feeling during the take up before the wall. If that could be smoothed out a bit, I think it would be even better. M&P with complete Apex kit still takes the cake for me, but the VP9 and P320 are very close combatants for 2nd place.
