This is the best way to conceal your firearm. The Sig P365 is a clear winner. This is not the only thing people consider when purchasing concealed carry firearms. They care about how it shoots. They care about how it feels and what sights it has. We will also be covering a variety of other features.

Ergonomics in general
Frame
The frame of the Sig P365 feels very small in my hand. Despite this, I can still feel half of my pinky on it with the flush grip magazine inside the frame. This is a great feature for a small gun. It gives me a lot more leverage. The HK VP9SK grip makes it difficult for me to let my pinky hang from the bottom.
I can’t grip the gun because of its small grip. Despite being 3/16ths of an inch taller that the Sig P365, the gun is still very comfortable to hold. This is due to the undercut and bore axis. The bore axis is much higher, which causes the undercut to be lower for the HK VP9SK. The HK VP9SK has a significant advantage in that it has removable side grip panels as well as the rear back strap.

You can customize this grip to fit your hand. However, I believe that the most important feature of a firearm should be the ability to place your pinky on it when you can. If you have smaller hands, you will want to be able adjust the grip size. The HK VP9SK is clearly the winner.
The Sig P365 is very simple and small. If you have very small hands, it is an ergonomic firearm. It’s one of those guns that I can’t say is a clear winner. You’ll have the opportunity to try them out.
Texture
These guns feel equally aggressive when you rub them side-by-side. The texture of the Sig P365 is much more aggressive when you have a firm grip. In this situation, I have to give the win to Sig P365.
Slide
The rear of the HK VP9SK slide has a unique feature. It’s located underneath the rear iron sight. These polymer wings make it much easier to rack the slide.
This feature is absent in the Sig P365. The slide on the Sig P365 has a more aggressive texture. The slide on HK VP9SK slides is quite smooth. If you don’t use the polymer wings, the Sig P365 will be more adept at manipulating the slide. Both have aggressive forward and rear cocking serrations.

Sights
Stock
The HK VP9SK can be equipped with either 3 dot night sights, or 3 dot luminescent sight. They can be used to display both old and new sight pictures. They aren’t very crisp and clean but they work. There aren’t many replacements for this either. The Sig P365, on the other hand, comes with SIGLITE night visions.
These are three dot Tritium sights that include two Tritium vials in blacked-out rear sights and a Tritium vial in the front sight. These sights are great for this type of firearm. This is a great factory option. It’s a great factory option, but it will be difficult to justify spending the money to replace them.
Are they as good or better than the Trijicon HDs No. However, I find it difficult to spend a hundred dollars more to replace these sights with something better.

The Sig P365 has a lot of sights options. They come in standard Sig cuts and many manufacturers make sights for this firearm.
Controls
Trigger
It will all come down to personal opinion as to which rigger is the best. However, I believe there will be a clear winner between Sig P365 and the HK VP9SK.
The HK VP9SK trigger has very little take-up. The trigger on the HK VP9SK has light take-up. The trigger is not heavy, nor is it light. The trigger feels very plasticky. The trigger is actually made of plastic.

The Sig P365’s metal trigger has light take-up, but you will feel creepy before you reach that point. You can continue to feel creep until the trigger stops. You have never hit a wall. You can see a rolling break in Sig P365 versus a wall in HK VP9SK.
This conversation is a choice between one or the other. I am in the Sig P365 group. This trigger has a rolling break that I like. This trigger is amazing. With little effort, I can shoot up to 100 yards with this trigger on still torso targets. It’s amazing how reliable this gun can hit targets. The amazing rolling trigger is a big reason for this.
Slide Lock
The HK VP9SK will win the slide lock. It’s just better designed and more ambidextrous. This is why it wins. It can be used by either a left-handed or right-handed shooter. The slide release of the Sig P365 is very sharp and angular. This is an area where I’m surprised Sig didn’t do better. Although it isn’t perfect, this release is not terrible. This Sig P365 lacks detail is what gives the HK VP9SK victory in this situation.
Magazine Release
The magazine was released on the HK VP9SK in a standard HK paddle-style. This system is cool and simple to use. Some people hate it. You might find that you love it if you give it a chance. The Sig P365 is simple to use.
The Sig P365 magazine release can be pressed without breaking your grip. However, your grip will likely stop the magazine falling free. For the HK VP9SK, it is more likely that you will need to break your grip in order to drop a magazine. This is a reminder that the issue is more training than a problem with the gun.
Quality HK VP9sk vs Sig – P365
It’s a clear choice in terms of quality. The HK VP9SK seems to be a better quality firearm than the Sig P365. The sights are more attractive on the Sig P365, while the Sig P365 frame’s polymer seems less expensive. Although the HK VP9SK polymer is superior to the Sig P365 in terms of quality, it’s still inferior to the HK P30 series. Everything is relative. The Sig P365 polymer I believe is perfectly serviceable. The HK VP9SK is the winner in terms of overall quality.
Aftermarket
There is no comparison in aftermarket. There are a few parts that the HK VP9SK has that the Sig P365 doesn’t. These parts include triggers, sights, and all manner of accessories. Companies can make slides, barrels and any other part you need for the Sig P365. Companies such as Zev Tech have their own licensed version for the Sig P365.

Aesthetics
The Sig P365 is a well-designed firearm. In this case, I believe that is true. It seems fatter than the HK VP9SK. It is very thick. It has a very short grip and a very short slide. These proportions don’t suit my eye.

Shooting HK VP9sk vs Sig P365
The Sig P365 is a great gun for shooting. You can put most of your hand on it, and the gun shoots incredibly soft considering its size. It was a pleasant surprise when I first shot it, and it amazes me every time I shoot it. The HK VP9SK is a different story. It would be much easier to shoot if you had a little more grip on it.
It has a heavy slide and doesn’t track as well the Sig P365. In this instance, points will definitely go to the SIG P365. The Sig P365 is my preference over the HK VP9SK. The HK VP9SK may be a better choice for you. It’s up to you to examine all features and choose the gun that suits your needs.
