Glock G26 Gen5 9mm vs HK VP9SK 9mm

Both are 10-round subcompact 9mms with fixed sights and no factory optic cut, and barrel lengths are within 0.04" (3.43" vs 3.39"). The Glock G26 Gen5 9mm is the smaller and cheaper one: 1.38 oz lighter (21.69 oz vs 23.07 oz), 0.19" shorter overall (6.42" vs 6.61"), 0.4" lower in height (4.17" vs 4.57"), with three magazines instead of two and an MSRP $310.00 lower ($599.00 vs $909.00). The HK VP9SK 9mm answers with a listed trigger pull of 4.5-5.6 lb against the Glock's 5.8 lb, 0.34" more sight radius (5.73" vs 5.39"), 3-dot sights front and rear, and interchangeable backstraps.

Pick the Glock G26 Gen5 if:

• You want the smallest footprint here: 6.42" long, 4.17" tall and 21.69 oz
• $599.00 against $909.00, with three magazines in the box
• You already run Glock magazines and holsters

Pick the HK VP9SK if:

• You want the lighter listed trigger pull, 4.5-5.6 lb against 5.8 lb
• The extra 0.4" of height and interchangeable backstraps give you more grip to hold
• You want 3-dot sights and the longer 5.73" sight radius

Capacity is tied at 10 and both run fixed irons, so the choice is grip and trigger against size and price. The VP9SK gives you more gun to hold for $310.00 more; the G26 gives up trigger weight and 0.4" of grip height to be the easier one to hide.
