A "Limited Production" item from HK, the VP9L is optic ready and optimized for competitive shooting with a 20-round capacity (comes with 2 mags), cutout slide and a 5" target barrel. The VP9 is already a champion among striker-fired polymer pistols but this iteration ups the game considerably. This from their WEBSITE.

Where optics-ready meets competition-ready, the new HK VP9L is destined to be a winner.

In addition to the class-leading ergonomics and trigger feel that made the VP9 the best-selling HK pistol ever, the VP9L has some essential upgrades for honing your skills on the range.

The o-ring bushing on the longer 5-inch barrel tightens up the lockup as well as your groups, and the 20-round extended magazines allow you to shoot more and reload less on long stages. Additionally, the machined optics cut accommodates the most popular red-dot pistol sights with one of five available mounting plates (sold separately).

Whether you are competing at formal matches or just against yourself at the range, the VP9L could be just the edge you've been looking for.

• Five-inch barrel with o-ring bushing for more consistent lockup and better accuracy.
• Extended slide assembly with lightening cuts.
• Optics cut with cover plate – optics plates sold separately.
• Interchangeable backstraps and side panels allow for 27 different custom grip configurations.
• TWO Extended 20-round magazines included.
