New Acquisitions December

Can anybody do a trigger comparison between the VP9 and its competitors both striker and hammer fired? Thoughts?
 
Pressed the trigger on one yesterday, no comparison, best striker fired trigger that I have seen on a factory gun without trigger work being done. Put one on layaway yesterday.
 
The VP9 is the best striker fired trigger i've ever tried. My G21 with a Ghost trigger bar is excellent, but still not nearly as good. My G30, G17 and G26 triggers are perfectly serviceable, but not even close to my VP9. My Sig P226 in SA was great, in DA no comparison clearly, but I like the VP9 trigger better. I've never tried one but people say the Walther PPQ trigger is equivalent and/or slightly better than the VP9.

Can anybody do a trigger comparison between the VP9 and its competitors both striker and hammer fired? Thoughts?
 
My 226 Elite has the best trigger & reset outside a 1911 I have shot to date. So ... Better than a Glock but less reset and more creep than the SIG SA short/reset trigger? Ish?

Finally got my own GSD! [party]

Picked up Echo from Vonhena-C breeder a week ago. She's 9 weeks old now. Thanks for Jasons and others for the breeder recommendation!

I've been tired and busy for a week. It feels like having a newborn in the house that pee on the floor every moment you get distracted...

Those CZ P-07's look nice. How large are they - what do they compare to, a Glock 19?

I have the PO-9, which is the full size version of the PO-7. Its 19+1, I believe CZ claims its the largest capacity pistol in a flush fit mag. Fun to shoot and good quality for the price. I paid 480. The PO-7 is smaller and limited to 10 rounds, its the better looking of the two guns. The PO-7 is similar in size to a Glock 19, the CZ is DA/SA, not striker fired so not really all that similar functionality.
 
My first .308 semi auto! Brazilian IMBEL FAL. Need to research may be a preban but either way it's staying like it is. Built like a brick shithouse. The trigger is nice and crisp can't wait to get to the range.

Has safe scars but I do not believe it has been fired, no dings from brass which they are known to have and bore had no powder.

Looks like you did well; very jealous.
 
Could you compare the trigger length (reach) with HK P30 or Glock 19? TIA

i have a p30 and many Glocks I like both triggers. HK is smooth but has some travel. Glocks are gritty but a lot less travel.

Great gun. Nice price too. The gear logo receivers have been going for around $450 (not to mention are somewhat sought after and no longer imported) and Imbel parts kit from Entreprise which were going for $400ish and you didn't have to build it. Does it have matching serial numbers? Also if I had to guess its not a pre ban receiver as the barrel it was built on isn't threaded. With the gear logo receivers there are several bans which people talk about. Not always the pre 94 ban.
