    How's it compare to the HK P30 series? I don't know much about how to judge these things based on specs, but that one seems quite similar and much cheaper. My gun-knowledgeable friend recommended that one once when I mentioned I'd been thinking about getting a 9mm.

      It's all purely anecdotal, but I think CZ makes very good guns. My husband has a 999, and one of my best friends has a P10c. My friend with the p10 uses it as his daily carry and his gun for for three gun competitions. They both swear by them. I can't say how it handles compared to the HK tho since I've never shot one of those p30s.

      HK P30 has the same interchangeable grips panels as the VP9, which I ABSOLUTELY ADORE. When you find the right combination it will feel absolutely molded to your hand.

      My partner hates it. The beaver tail is a little low and thick and it irritates their hand.

        beaver tail

        so this is the rear portion of the grip that fits into the center of the palm? looking at pics it does seem to be a bit bulging on the VP9 compared to the p30, but no idea how it would feel in hand while firing

        guess these subtle differences are why folks recommend range time / rentals before you purchase

          It's the part at the top of the back that nestles into the web between your thumb and index finger.

          And, yeah, the subtle differences add up. I can't stand shooting an M&P or XD, they literally rub me the wrong way. P320, VP9, 1911, heavenly. My partner loves the feel of the CZ 75. Glocks have all the ergonomic feel and visual appeal of a brick, but I shoot them real good, so I still like them.
