ShortBus Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 My VP9 has had this since new. I called HK and they said they would look at it but they would need it for a while as they were busy. Decided d rather buy another one/fix it myself vs being away from it. I have weird issues about that kind of stuff. Another topic though. The reset has 2 stages in the reset. But are VERY close together, close enough that I have pulled the trigger Multiple times and had nothing there. In dry fire, live fire, any kind of fire it will happen once then I make a conscious effort to go a little farther. I've had ppl tell me I shouldn't be riding the reset that close but I disagree. In the video you will see that upon reset it hits a point and "jolts" forward (just like a reset!) but then there is nothing there. You can go back out and it usually picks it up on the second time, which makes me think there is something moving and it gets moved to were it needs to be. It's too late to send it back to HK as I've had it stripped multiple times and have polished things and cut my slide release and shaved the groove in the trigger guard away. Video is uploading. No idea why phitobucket is so slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortBus Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Well having trouble uploading video but will keep trying. I have two videos, 1 of the trigger resetting and 1 with the slide off watching the trigger bar and disconector. When you pull the trigger the trigger bar moves out away from the connector. I folded up a piece of paper and put it between the connector and trigger bar and put the slide back on and it was a lot better (minus the sucky trigger pull because there is paper in it) so I'm thinking this might be the culprit. Going to compare my buddies VP9. Will post the videos as soon as I can get them loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortBus Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Ok I've got the shorter video uploaded. The speaker really picks stuff up good. The TV is far away and not up loud and you can hear my 5 month old fixing to get mad. http://s400.photobucket.com/user/hook_setter/media/Mobile%20Uploads/trim.9D8E3BF3-57E5-4480-96D0-74A5AD1225FF_zpsmhleuxfo.mp4.html Edited June 12, 2015 by Luke205 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortBus Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Compared it to another VP9. It's the same.. Anybody wanna buy a VP9 setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandflea Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I was hoping that there is a fix for this. I like the VP9, but all my other guns have a better reset. My girlfriend now has it. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortBus Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Yea I'm gonna get rid of mine. No sense in keeping a gun I personally have issues with. My buddy has one and he says I'm an idiot. Few other people's guns I can make do it but they don't. Gonna try a Sig I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) If you want to stay with the VP9 I suggest sending it to Rick Holm at Grayguns. He does the arguably the best work on HK guns in general. If nothing else you should contact him to ask thin question. Here is LAV's take on a his work: http://grayguns.com/gunsmith-services/heckler-koch/vp9-action-cleanup-perfection/ Edited June 15, 2015 by alma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandflea Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Thanks for the info Alma, I think I'll send mine off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortBus Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Almost seems like a paid advertising lol. I've heard great things about gray guns just haven't wanted to send it off for 3 months. I may go down this road. Not sure right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Thanks for the info Alma, I think I'll send mine off. Rick Holm doesn't have an account here but asked me to pass on this: "The problem he describes is pretty common in the VP9, and it usually accompanied by a hard hit to the reset travel as well. I have identified what causes that false reset point, and it is 100% corrected with our action work" You can contact him at Grayguns.com if you have more questions.

sandflea Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 That is what I was looking for. Thanks again! Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortBus Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Well I guess if he had figured out the reset issue and is fixing it then that's an easy decision to send it to them! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunotFranco Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Well I have not noticed this on mine. That being said I shot a Grayguns version and it does feel even better than out of the box. You may want to try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelonassassin Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I had a VP9 and had this issue which made rapid fire for me more difficult. Mine was also extremely ammo finicky compared to my other 9mms. With standard Geco ammo that would feed and function in all my other pistols, the VP9 would get jammed up out of battery and require use of a dowel rod from the front end to hammer the round out. I ended up selling it as I felt it was not worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan 45 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I replaced the sear spring and trigger return spring with the reduced parts from HKparts.net I'm really digging the trigger. Good break, reset is as good or better than my Glock with ZEV springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWSLMT Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I have read other users having great results on the trigger work done by Bruce at Gray Guns on HK triggers, espically on the VP9. Also on HK Pro forum a few of the people are complaining about the spring kit not working properly. There is a thread on that site dealing with the problems users are experiencing. Sorry, I didn't read this post first, I posted this also on the VP9 thread above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
