P30sk vs. VP9sk vs. P2000sk (2024)

FAQs

What does the SK stand for in HK VP9SK? ›

For those that are curious, the SK in the name stands for “subkompakt” which is German for Subcompact. Creating a lighter, thinner, and shorter version of the VP9 surely made this a subcompact firearm.

The VP9 is extremely reliable, accurate, and affordable and comes straight from the factory ready to rock and roll. You don't need to change the trigger or sights or whatever as most people find themselves doing with Glock handguns which, in my opinion, is a big downfall.

The VP9 is a striker-fired pistol that features a Picatinny rail, ambidextrous controls, a hammer forged polygonal barrel, and changeable back and side straps to make the pistol grip customizable for any shooter's hand with 27 options of grip configuration.

HK VP9 vs VP9SK Frame

You have a much longer grip on the HK VP9 vs VP9sk's shorter grip that isn't going to be as comfortable for most people. It's hard if not impossible for most people to get their entire hand on the VP9sk which makes it substantially less ergonomic than the HK VP9.

While some might consider it too large for concealed carry, especially compared to subcompact pistols such as the Ruger LCP, the VP9 is still a solid option provided you have a decent belt and holster for it. Even if not, it's still a great size for a home defense option.

The VP9SK is a striker-fired handgun that has a 10-round flush fit magazine. There is also 13 and 15 round extended magazines that include ergonomic sleeves that match the profile of the grip.

The VP9sk deserves nothing less than the best red dot to maximize its concealed carry potential. With its compact design and exceptional ergonomics, pairing it with the right red dot ensures quick and precise aiming, enhancing both efficiency and safety in defensive situations.

I remember when shooters first got it into their hands, they immediately started calling for a compact model for concealed carry. Now, after a few years, H&K have release that smaller-version pistol. The VP9SK (SK for subkompakt, I think) is an abbreviated version of the VP9.
