The sights come with designated HK pistols, professionally mounted and bore sighted, ready to go to the range.

For any defender, the VP + Vortex combination will exceed their needs for reliability, durability, and usability.”
Optics-equipped versions of full-sized VPs, like the VP9 A1 F, VP9 A1 X and VP9 A1 K feature the Vortex Defender CCW closed emitter model and the micro-compact HK CC9 features the Defender CCW open emitter model.
