u/Kenanz

Love me some P30 but the summer months it can get tricky to conceal. I prefer everything about the VP9CC over my CC9 (which is still great), except for my slide bite issue. Tried a couple different temporary reliefs, and after looking hard at my specific problem, came up with this. Cut the beavertail portion off of a hougue rubber grip for the hellcat and glued it on the small/beavertail VP9CC backstrap. It keeps my hand just below where it originally sat without getting bit. No I've never owned a hellcat; yes I bought the grip specifically for cutting it up as an experiment because I'm a goddamn wildman.

Going strong without a single issue, got its first cleaning yesterday. I added some velcro to the underside of the beavertail to get the web of my hand lower ever so slightly, to get the slide to stop biting me. It seemed to do the trick but I'd like a better looking/more permanent solution at some point. Really happy with it and while I don't think the upgrade from the CC9 is worth it financially, if you're an HK fan boy and a paddle guy, this one is for you.

VP9CC Inagural 500 rounds

Took it out and shot it side by side with my CC9. Long story short, I like it better than the CC9 despite the German biting me. I was getting slide bite even with the larger beavertail backstraps, but I also hold my thumb high from shooting lots of 2011s, USPs, etc. The recoil impulse is more pleasant and the trigger is substantially better; and I'm not a trigger snob by any means. This will likely replace my CC9 as my summertime carry, and I really like the CC9. Oh and flawless 500 rounds out of the box with no additional lube and a mix of 115 and 124.
