I Think I Want An HK45C

The VP9 is a great shooter.

When I wanted a gun it's size it was a real tossup between the VP9 and 19X and ultimately I stuck with the Glock because I already had a pile of holsters and mags for the Glock. Shot them both the same, and the 19x is by far my favorite Glock.

So I'd have been quite happy with the VP9

Makes good sense if you're a Glock guy to start with.
 
I decided to retire my Colt Series 70 1911 and I got the HK45C to replace it. I really like the 45C, a lot. Shoots everything, no hiccups, very reliable. I prefer the DA/SA mode, especially when carrying. I shot some IDPA with the 45C and did pretty well, even with the long hard first-shot DA pull. My DA pull is definitely not gritty and I found there was no shot placement difference between the first (DA) shot and the second (SA) shot.

I also own two Walthers, the PPQ and the P99. I used to always carry the PPQ, but now I carry the P99 and occasionally the 45C.

About the ONLY thing I do not like about a stock 45C is the same thing I dislike about all polymer pistols: the stocks (a.k.a. grips) are just too slippery for me. So, on all my polymer pistols I have installed grip tape. I used to use Talon grips, but now I make my own using GT-5000 tape from guntape.com.
