oberkommando,
Check out the following website for some general info on the VP70.

I have a VP70Z which I bought out of a private collection a few months ago. It was
new-in-the-box, unfired except for the factory test firing, and it was made in 1979. I paid $650 for it, it came with two magazines. The guy I bought it from is a dealer and also a HK collector. He had extra magazines for sale at $120 each, new. They
are 18 rounders. I found two slightly used (98%) mags at a gun store in Okla. City a while back for $45 each. I scarfed 'em up on the spot. I bought the pistol mainly for its collectability but I couldn't resit firing it so I put about fifty rounds through it. It is pretty accurate but the heavy DAO trigger pull, over twenty pounds I was told,
is tiring for me and not too much fun. I will keep the pistol in my collection as a novelty and probably won't shoot it much.
The pistol has a matte green finished slide,
a black polymer frame and polished blue/black steel magazines, quite a combination.
