[QUOTE="Pharr Shot, post: 2651743, member: 32954"] I haven't had the chance yet to even handle the VP9 but I have done a TON of research on it and I'm impressed! Now the slide is wider on it than a Glock 17 but the frame of the Glock 17 is the same width of the VP9 (in slide and frame of the VP9). The VP9 is gonna be for sure my next full sized pistol (Although I wish they'd make it in .40). Another tip that I learned from Massas Ayoob himself for releasing the slide is to come over the top of the slide with your other hand, and then press down on the slide release with your thumb. Since I'm a lefty, I do that pretty much with all my pistols except a 1911. For something like a Sig (I am a Sig fanboy) and me being a lefty, that's very helpful. Since you tend to do some of the same things as far as releasing the slide like I do although you're right handed, that's a good piece of advice and it's A LOT faster than any other method I've tried like the ones you have mentioned. With the paddle release/European style magazine release, I tend to use both my index finger and my thumb when I go to release it, and I don't have to change my grip so it's for a perfect release every time I need to change out mags really fast. It's some good info I've learned and hopefully it'll help you out as well for it seems you have a little bit of trouble there my friend. 😛 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
