Stumbled upon the Umarex booth yesterday, the VP9 was the only new, interesting thing I saw.

 

Trigger was nasty but that's normal in GBB pistols and I hate the mag release but hey, that's part of the RS.  Honestly though, the finish on the magazine and the smoothness of the insert/drop felt better than a lot of good RS pistols.  The fit of the slide and frame was seriously nice and hitting the slide release felt weirdly close to a real pistol, took me quite by surprise.

 

Obviously I've no idea if the pistol on display represented the standard production quality, but if it does then I'd buy one.

I would guess that no one picked up on the p30 because the HK45s weren't nearly as popular as was expected.

 

I've heard from a number of local retailers that they didn't sell particularly well.

 

I had hoped with decent screen exposure ( http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch_P30 ) that it would have done OK.  Probably a moot point now...

H&K pistols in general are not as popular as they once were. Which is unfortunate because they make quality weapons at competitive prices compared to other manufactures. It doesn't help their Customer Service has taken a beating over the years, they're not as bad as the internet makes them out to be, but they definetly not always the most understanding.

 

Glock and 1911s are always in demand, though.

Excited that the VP9 is finally getting an airsoft gun. I thought everyone was generally satisfied with VFC made pistols especially the glock 19 and stuff.

 

As an owner of a TM HK45 I'm glad TM improved their plastic but the VFC glock is still some of the best I've seen and held. It'll be nice to have something similar on the VP9.
