OK, I finally got to touch one. Its like looking at a Rolex after owning a Seiko for a long time. Very nicely done.
There are two things that stuck me. One is its size. Its much bigger in person than it looks in pictures. And second, the trigger, while very similar to a PPQ in overall feel, is clearly heavier. That's not a bad thing for a carry gun. To me, the PPQ bordered on being a bit too quick -- I bet it has caught quite a few people off guard.
Somebody here said its for those who wanted a Porsche 911 but could only afford a Boxter. Maybe, but a closer comparison might be for people who can't choose between a 911 and a Cayman S. They are different, but equal in their refinement and quality.
But the bottom line is that I went down to the store to buy a VP9, and I held one and compared it to others, and I came home with my money still in my pocket. I'm just not quite sure yet.
But I did drive home in a 911 Carerra.
