VP9 or PPQ or Both?

[Justincase]

Somewhat related question. Local stores have these with the 10 round mags, but online they're all 15. Will the ffl swap them out, or no? I'd but local, but closest anyone can come locally is about $150 higher for the vp9. I'd do $75 over, but $150 is crazy.

What the hell? I checked Buds and all I saw were the 15 rounders. Thanks man. How are these guys to do business with? I've only ever purchased firearms from Palmetto, and Gunbroker. Is the shipping really free, or is it a membership thing?

Shipping is free to your FFL. You pay transfer above cost of firearm.

^ Great. Thanks. Now I just need to ask him if he'll hang on to it until I get my permit. I could wait, but then the wife is more likely to discover my secret gun fund, lol.

^ Well, that settles it then. Lol. I'll get both. A big plus, as AK68 mentioned is the PPQ 22 for cheap, translatable practice. This was one of the reasons I was considering the Sig P250 cuz it could be had in both 9mm and 22lr, but the exchange kits are hard to find and almost as much as an entire new gun.

If I were you I'd figure out which of the two you prefer and trade the other in for something else. Having both seems awfully redundant given the similarity.

 

[Justincase]

^ That's a possibility too. If after I get my permit and I find after shooting them both, that I don't really like one or the other, I'll get rid of one. I'll wait until I get some others though, so I at least have different guns to compare it to.

That's fine. Having guns in the safe is like having money in the bank. Both pistols are in heavy demand, I don't think you would have any difficulty shifting either one on gunbroker. If you are patient perhaps even for a profit.

I was lucky enough to fire both at my range last weekend. They both feel great. The trigger might be a little better on the ppq but not by much. I liked the ergonomics a little better on the vp9 but everyone's opinion may be a little different. They are both great guns and you cannot go wrong with either one.

That was my impression as well. It came down to the fact that I liked the size of the PPQ better and it was $100 cheaper than the VP9. The triggers are so close as to not be a factor between them.

Just saw this today in Guns.com. Not out yet but looks real nice for ccw

CZ P10 c

I'm debating the VP 9,PPQ and the CZ now. Right now the CZ is leading the pack for me.

I cant wait to shoot the p10

having both the PPQm2 4inch and the p320 compact I love them both, trigger/reset on the PPQ is better but personally shot the p320 faster/more accurate which i why i carry the 320.

Cant go wrong with either, but i would wait to shoot the p10 as well before you "pull the trigger "

I'm wanting to check out the P320s too. I am going to rent one my next range trip.

I gotta look into the 320 compact as well. For some reason I've never handled one in my travels to various stores. Would have to see if anyone has the small grip too.

sorry, title should read VP9 or PPQ or both?

Since I'm going stir crazy waiting for this pistol permit process to be over (my references were just called two days ago after just short of 14 months), I've been looking at many potential pistols for my first one, which will likely be my primary range, training and home defense gun. As such, I've been visiting stores to handle as many as I can. The VP9 is the front-runner as it feels great in my hands but I've never fired it. Today, I held the PPQ M2 for the first time. Never fired that one eithe, but it felt nice too. Man, that trigger was smooth as silk! I can't help but notice, however that they are incredibly similar. Would it be redundant to have both of these? Eventually, I'd like to have similar iterations from many manufacturers, but this is almost like the same gun.

So what you did you end up deciding? I was very on the fence for a long time about picking up the ppq, thought it would be a definite. Hell I thought my first was gonna be a Springfield, but today switched and loving the vp9. So much so I put some money on it

I bought a VP9 with night sights and a PPQ .22lr. It's close enough to the VP9 that it can essentially be used for cheap training for the VP9 I think, and fun plinking. If not, I can always get the PPQ 9mm. Love that trigger. I'd get the M1 version though as opposed to the M2.

Sweet. I got with night sights too. Honestly that may be a road I go down as well. Time will tell, and that's all we got is time on our hands

So, you've fired the VP9 and the PPQ? I haven't fired either, but the VP9 feels like an extension of my hand when I hold it, and that's even with all medium size panels. Can't wait to pick this thing up from the dealer.
