I have made it very obvious that I am a big fan of Heckler & Koch's VP9 so much in fact I can honestly say it's perfect in my eyes. At SHOT Show this past year HK announced they would be releasing a long slide kit for their VP9 pistol. I was able to obtain one of these long slide kits and am in the process of putting the long slide kit through it's paces and plan on giving detailed review of this product in the May issue of our newsletter! So stay tuned!
