The VP9 is an excellent pistol. I like mine a little better than my Walther PPQ. Both are vastly superior to any other polymer striker-fired handgun I've ever shot, although in fairness I'd add that I have no experience with the Sig P320.

Nice. I have a couple of those Taylor +5's on order. Did your VP 9 come that way, or have you been "working on it?" I haven't seen one equipped that way out of the box.

I've been working on it. It came with the night sights and extra mag (LEM Edition)... I got the threaded barrel from hkparts and the mag extensions straight from Taylor Freelance.

I cut the foam inside the case to fit the VP with everything I've done to it.

Nice. Have you had problems with the Taylor Freelance? There were earlier issues with the +5 thing (actually pretty much only +4) as well as some reliability issues with bending of the floor plate. Reportedly, they've addressed both of those issues. Any insight?

At $39, you're right at the cost of a whole new magazine. $39 for +5, $39.95 for +15. Hmmmm.

Have you shot your VP9 yet? I think it's a remarkable firearm, and at $600 for an HK, I couldn't pass it up.

I had to trim the corners of the follower a bit to get it to slide past the edges of the mag extension. In some cases it gets hung up a little bit if you don't. No issues getting in all +5 rounds. Other than the absolute PITA installation in which I managed to cut my thumb, they are awesome and work great.

The main purpose of the +5 is to benefit competitive shooters. More rounds = less reloading.

I've shot it a few times. It's awesome. I paid $750 for mine, but it's the "LEM edition" which came with night sites and an extra mag.
