New for 2026, Heckler & Koch USA is pleased to announce several popular HK models will be available in optics-equipped packages featuring the newly-launched Vortex Defender series micro red dot sights. The sights come with designated HK pistols, professionally mounted and bore sighted, ready to go to the range.
“We’re excited to match the Vortex Defender line with the VP,” said Nathan Schueth, Director of Sales & Business Development. “HK and Vortex share the same values – the best performance and features for the customer, backed by lifetime warranties. 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. Oversized OE models like the VP9 L and VP9 Match will feature the Defender ST closed emitter model.
