Heckler & Koch USA is pleased to announce a large handgun partnership with the Oklahoma City Police Department. The 1100-officer department is currently in the process of transitioning to the HK VP9 as their official sidearm.

OKCPD previously issued a combination of several different handguns to officers. This purchase represents a consolidation of those various products to this single model from HK. HK has already shipped more than 500 VP9s to the department and all new recruits are being issued VP9s as they graduate from the academy.

“I’ve gotta hand it to these guys, they really did their homework. Over the course of about a year, they thoroughly tested a variety of pistols from several different manufactures.” HK Law Enforcement Sales Manager Jason Whitten said. “When it was all over, it was the VP9’s superior out-of-the-box accuracy and quality, and HK’s customer service that won out.”

The VP is HK’s best-selling law enforcement and commercial pistol design in its storied history and has a well-deserved reputation for being a handgun that helps users actually shoot better. This is backed by numerous reports from agencies of higher qualifying scores after adopting the VP9. “I have total confidence that we will get a similar report from OKCPD. I look forward to hearing all about it from them,” Whitten said.
