HK VP9 sights & optics

Here you find the accessories and upgrades we have for sighting on the HK VP9: optic plates and red dot mounts that put a red dot on your HK VP9 and iron sights. Everything on this page is made for the HK VP9, so you only need to pick the right group for your pistol.

Putting a red dot on your HK VP9

• Optic plate: for a slide with a factory optic cut closed with a cover plate. The plate goes into the cut and takes the red dot. We have plates for the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP, Docter, C-More RTS and Holosun 509T footprints. See Optics ready plates for HK VP9 OR.
• Red dot mount: carries the red dot on a HK VP9 without an optic cut. We have mounts for the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Holosun K-series, Leupold DPP, Docter and C-More RTS footprints, made by EGW, Outer Impact, Shield Sights and Toni System. See Red dot mounts for HK VP9.

A plate fits only a slide with the optic cut, and a mount is for a HK VP9 without it.

Choosing a plate or mount by footprint

Every plate and mount takes one footprint or a group of footprints. Find the footprint of your red dot in its specifications and take the plate or mount that names it.

Sights for the HK VP9

Our iron sights for the HK VP9 come from Angry Bear, LPA and Night Fision. Sight pictures: blank, fiber optic, luminescent dots, tritium and white dots. If you use a red dot, choose tall co-witness sights so you see them through the window. See Sights for HK VP9 [classic] and Sights for HK VP9 [OR].

Frequently asked questions

Which red dot fits a HK VP9?

Red dots with the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Holosun K-series, Leupold DPP, Docter, C-More RTS and Holosun 509T footprints, on the plate or mount for your pistol.

Can I install a plate at home?

Yes. A plate needs no gunsmith and no milling: remove the cover plate from the optic cut, screw the plate in and the red dot onto it. Put a drop of threadlocker on every screw.

Can I change the sights on my HK VP9 at home?

Yes, with a sight pusher or a punch. Drift the old sight out of the dovetail and push the new one in. If you do not have the tool, a gunsmith can do it for you.
