Advice On HK VP9SK

[sigarms228]

They are expensive, but...I think many of us have been spoiled by the $20-$25 Glock magazines. Unless Mec-Gar makes an after-market magazine for a given gun, most mags are ridiculously expensive, and more of them are in the $50-$75 range than seems reasonable. (And as I note below, there are some options.)

Once enough copies of a given gun have been sold to justify after-market maker interest, the reasonable prices sometimes show up.

Xtech makes a VP9 mag that seems every bit as well-made as the factory mag, and it sells in the $30 range. You can use a mag extender sleeve for that size mag and use a 15 round mag in the VP9SK. (I've done this.)

My Xtech mag didn't want to drop free properly at first, and I contacted Xtech, and they sent me instructions -- well illustrated -- to make a very minor mod to the mag which solved the problem. (They felt the problem was really a slightly-out-of-spec mag release mechanism in my VP9SK and not a mag issue, but the fix is easy.) I may get another Xtech mag after that experience.

HK finally has their factory 13 and 15 round magazines available for the VP9SK and P30SK, I just ordered a 13 rounder for my P30SK HK part #226345S. Nice design in that the sleeve locks into the floor plate. EuroOptic has them for $33.I believe and others should have them in stock soon.
