VP9 dead trigger due to impact issue (split from Personal SIG 320 Journey thread)

[JAD]

Have I missed where anyone has talked to HK about this?

Sample of one, but I took a grey (or is it gray) VP9 FS and vigorously slammed magazines in, simulating the problem I had with the Q5, and could not make the striker release. I did make my palm a little sore, though.

Not that I've seen.

I'm pretty pumped to pick up a few $300 VP9s in the classifieds over the next couple months.

I'm definitely not a SFA guy, but I am a total HK fanboi kool-aid drinker, and at that price even I could be convinced to get one, finally.

Took me three tries and I got this to happen on mine (BF date code, sold as an LE model). Very interesting. Just set the striker and gave it a moderate (but firm) whack on my kitchen counter....dead trigger. I agree with others that in theory at least this shouldn't lead to a discharge, as the striker block should still be in place, but this is without question something that is important to be aware of.

I am wondering if the "faulty" VP-9's are restricted to a specific manufacturing run. Has anyone tried to determine if this failure is specific to manufacture dates of the gun?

Just curious.

Would someone who's had their firearm do this, in any capacity, PLEASE CALL H&K AND TALK TO SOMEONE THERE.

While this thread interests me, if only slightly beyond the academic, It's incredibly frustrating that no one as bothered to pick up the phone and call the manufacturer. I almost wish Tom could move the whole thread over to HKPRO; it would fit better over there.

Actually, I have'nt seen any mention of this over there... yet..those folks would have a meltdown..Maybe someone who is a member there could point this thread out to them, I'll go get some popcorn��

ETA;
There is a post about this on HK Pro, and the sniping has already started.

I had my buddy who was working with HK at an Expo earlier this week ask them. They whipped one out and womped on it and could not reproduce it......

I second hufnagel's request. I'm thinking of buying a VP9, as is a buddy of mine, so this issue is of significant interest to me.

Just reading those 11 posts was enough to remind me why I only post here anymore.

Edit: No intent to trash talk any particular forum, just expressing my appreciation for this one.
