Heckler & Koch USA has announced a new addition to its VP9A1 pistol lineup with the release of the VP9A1 X, a configuration that blends features from both the compact and full-size models into a single, balanced package. Positioned between the VP9A1 K and the VP9A1 F, the new X model combines a shorter slide with full-capacity handling, aimed at shooters who want duty-level performance in a slightly more compact format.
