OK, so yesterday I was at the LGS killing time before I had to pick my daughter up for her softball game, and my dealer put this gun in front of me. Now he knows I owned one of the first VP9s that came out, but traded it back to him for my old Glock 19 b/c of the slide lock lever. Its location was where my thumb would touch the lever often locking the slide back when I was shooting it. I tried to adjust my grip to accommodate it, but in the end I decided to go back to the Glock, which never gave me a day of trouble.
Well, yesterday when I gripped this VP9 it seemed as though the lever had been moved forward just a bit, so I put it on layaway. My question, first, is does anyone know of any changes or modifications HK has made to the gun? I know my cousin had the same issue as I, but he shaved part of the lever off so that it would not touch his thumb. His LT did the same with his (both are local LEOs), but I'm not one to really modify my guns like that; however, it seems to me the lever is now moved slightly forward, but I don't know. It's been a long time since I've handled one, but I loved everything about the VP9, except that lever location. It feels totally different now, but that could be wishful thinking on my part. Anyone know of mods made?
