Got my VP9 for $650 at OGC Tactical.

650?! When was this? I paid nearly $800 and it was in cash.

VP9 should not go over $650.  I paid around $630 cash. I've checked pricing in the mainland that is a little cheaper, however, adding shipping, FFL fees would be the same as buying it here.  You can get good deals at HKPRO also.  I seen it go as low as $525.

If you need the handgun safety class, take the one from OGC. You'll get your affidavit the same week.

And it's reasonably priced.

I just remembered that I got the model with the tritium night sights. Maybe that's the reason mine was about $100 more.

Shoot if the vp9 is only 650 and the glocks I've seen around 649 there's no way I'm buying a glock. Plus I have average sized hands so I don't like the ergonomics of glocks much. The sights of the hk along with the feature where the slide locks forward as soon as you insert a new mag is pretty Bitchin.
I sure as hell don't need a permit to choose my religion, so why the hell do I need a permit to acquire a firearm?

OP, I bought my VP9 last July from Cross Creek Guns, a supporting vendor of the HKPro forum. According to his website, he currently has a 10rd VP9 for $599.50 shipped (and yes, his shipping costs even to Hawaii are $5.50). Once you factor in the FFL fee, you'll get close to OGC's price so it doesn't hurt to check with them first since they're a great LGS. But if the local stores are out of stock, I'd recommend contacting Mike at Cross Creek.

I would keep it local.  Inspect the firearm so you know what you get.  I was on the waiting list from Cross Creek, but found it local.  Almost the same price.  When I was looking for a Barrett, OGC price was the same as many gunbroker.  If the price seems high, just ask, maybe they can price match.  Can't hurt to ask. If you decide to purchase from the mainland and use LGS, buy an item from them, so LGS can make some money also.

Love my 30, but IIRC, the OP said something about small hands.  The 21 is a handful, even for a larger guy like me.

Not insurmountable, but comfort while getting used to a pistol does matter.
I thought the same thing until taking a class with uncle Scotty. Prior to that I was using a G17.

You guys are buying glock at $649? On maui shop in wailuku, maui ammo and gun supply sells gen 4 glocks 17,19,22,23,26,27 all for $555 regular price. The big frame 20,21 n 34,35,41 are $6xxish. 42 is 440 i believe.

I paid $499 + tax for a G17 Gen 4 in mid-Dec 2013.  Since then, whenever OGC has another sale on them, I've noticed the price has steadily increased.

Thats one day sale. This has been their price since they opened 2 years ago. My friend picked up a glock 22 4 gen from ogc last nov.? He got his for $599 on sale. Sorry to bomb the thread. Back to the topic.
