The journey to build a dream gun is a story that happens all too often but rarely told by countless gun owners. For the time, trouble, and almost the money, people will say you coulda got an optic ready glock, sig, M&P, CZ, FN, etc. All that said, I completely understand thrill/agony hunting for upgraded parts, second thought investments and the sentiment of getting better with a gun that you're already good with. Sick gat dude!

Great points brother thanks as always for the support and taking the time to comment I totally agree

love this setup!

After years of shooting Glocks and Sigs I discovered the VP9 and never looked back. Easily the best ergonomics and grip angle that fit me the best and thus, I shoot it the best. I did remove the cocking assist ears and installed factory flat ones. Also changed out the backplate for a solid aluminum plate, eliminating the round cocking indicator window. This gave me a much cleaner sight picture and honestly I had no use for the ears or the cocking indicator.

I just went this route, before seeing your video. I too already had a VP9 LE so... Tactical OR slide, Holosun HS507C, SilencerCo threaded barrel, two sets of guide rod/springs (18 & 20), TLR-8 and custom kydex to carry it all. LOVE this gun. Only gun I love better is my PPQ 5", but too big to carry. ;-)

I bought the standard OR VP9 and I added the XS suppressor height sights as an addon. It cost $99 + associated fees so $300 is not too bad considering it’s already got the XS suppressor height sights making the slide about $200. I’m shocked, I have two RMR plates that was easy to acquire, but all my handguns are fitted with a Holosun 507c which use the same RMR cut. I just bought the VP9 SK OR and can’t wait until the Holosun SCS hits. the streets, no optics plate needed! Like the glock MOS it’ll negate the need for suppressor height sights on both VP9 and VP9 SK.

I have a VP9 Tactical that I bought a few months before the pandemic. I'm almost sure I got one the last (if not THE last) Tactical model in the US. I knew that some H&K parts were hard to find and expensive, but not THAT expensive. Personally I won't mill my VP9 for a Red Dot for now. I already have half a dozen handguns with optics and I like the idea to have some "old school" guns to keep training with iron sights. Seeing the prices on those parts, now I don't feel bad for paying full MSRP on mine. lol

In retrospect, I’m glad I got the older version, it’s a way to force myself to train with iron sights and don’t get lazy (I have four other pistols that are optics ready, but the VP9 is my favorite over them).

I just got the long slide with suppressor height sights, O-ring barrel, guide rod and optics cut for $370 from Optics Planet. Just wish the sights were the night sight ones. Did you do anything internally? I had to upgrade the firing pin shroud to an aluminum one. Having plastic inside there seemed odd to me. I also opted for the solid back plate since I saw debris could get in and cause a hiccup in a stressful situation. So I closed it off.
