The HK VP9A1 F Optic Ready 9mm 15-Round Pistol, Tritium Front Sight (HK part no. 81001065) is a full-size 9mm pistol from Heckler & Koch with an optics-ready slide and a tritium front sight. HK calls this configuration Optics Ready, so the slide is cut for a red dot and the pistol ships without one, leaving the optic choice to you. The tritium front sight is paired with a blacked-out serrated rear sight, so the irons stay usable with or without a red dot. The F is the full-size VP9A1, built for duty, home defense and range work. It ships with two 15-round magazines.
