Honeybooboo Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'm hearing rumors around the interwebs that dealers are being told vp9 and p30sk production is halted until 2016. Anybody hear this? That means a big contract or a new product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy1629 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 That's what the rumor is on HKPro. The VP40 is also part of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwhpfan Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Nothing to worry about. Just the standard rumor to justify price increase.... Nah, in all seriousness... They are just re allocating resources from the VP line to work on their 1911 they expect to debut at SHOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything exceptional about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSwift Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 The world didn't need another striker "duty" pistol but they wasted their time making one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybooboo Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 I heard that they had to make a lot of rifles because the g36's were getting replaced with 416's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetrulis01 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hello: My name is Adam Petrulis and I recently got picked up by HK as a sponsored shooter. I contacted HK about the halt in production of the VP9. I was told the factory shuts down in August for everyone to take a vacation. Just getting the right information out there. Thanks, Adam Petrulis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetrulis01 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I can only go off of what the rep told me. Maybe they have something secret in the works, but they did not state anything. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLeeCZ Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 VP45 startup would be a nice surprise. Walther just announced the PPQ45 so may be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybooboo Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 So looks like the rumors are right and the reps are lying to you.

apetrulis01 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 That doesn't exactly mean it would halt production on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBP55 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 The world didn't need another striker "duty" pistol but they wasted their time making one of those. And the striker fired HK pistols will outsell any of the hammer fired pistols made by HK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunotFranco Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Well remember that HK had some trouble with the G3 and some financial stuff. If they landed that 416 contract I would not be surprised them shifting prod to fulfill that contract! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten-X Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Crazy news. A friend was on the hunt for one and found one at Acadamy. Priced great too. I shot it and was really impressed. I like it better than my M&P's but I'm in too deep with the platform to switch over. But if I was starting over, it's a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarge450 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Is this true? Any idea on 2016 production will start back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr1042 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 These are definitely harder to find for a good price right now. Last year and earlier this year, it wasn't uncommon to find the LE version for around 625 and the standard version for under 550. Not so much right now although there are sales here and there. I sold one locally a few weeks ago and actually had offers over asking price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
