HK VP9 A1 Series

Paddle or Button?

You can now get an HK VP9 A1 with a button mag release. The newest models to join the A1 Series are the VP9F-B and VP9X-B. The paddle isn't going anywhere, so now that you can have either one, which would you buy?

Not Sure? Here’s the Difference

The Paddle

HK's signature design. Levers on both sides of the trigger guard drop the mag with a push of your thumb or trigger finger, so it works the same for righties and lefties. Fans say it's harder to bump by accident while carrying or holstering.

The Button

The push-button release found on most pistols sold in the US. If you've trained on other handguns, your thumb already knows where it is, which makes it easy to switch between guns.

Same VP9 A1 either way. HK just gave you the choice. Pick the one you’d buy today.
