Minty, Boxed Heckler & Koch VP70Z

Description

10/23/25 - This is an excellent example of an H&K VP70Z, chambered in 9mm. It comes with an original box which has had the label removed, two total magazines, owners manual, matching test target, and two total magazines. The gun has retained nearly all of its finish with just a bit of wear on some of the high edges, a couple hints of very minor box wear and a couple of scuffs. Excellent, shiny bore. Today, polymer-frame handguns are quite common. From newer names like Glock and FMK to much older names like Smith & Wesson, it seems like nearly every handgun manufacturer has made a polymer based model. The first mass-produced polymer handgun actually came from Heckler & Koch in 1970. The original design was developed in the context of the Cold War, while the Berlin Wall still divided Germany. H&K was trying to develop a new version of the handgun, something which could be produced quickly, in large numbers, and at minimal cost to provide to German civilians to help oppose an invasion. The original development was capable of burst-fire and also included a detachable shoulder-stock which would convert the pistol into a submachine gun/PDW. The design was quite simple, a straight blowback, striker-fired gun fed by a double-stack, double-feed 18-round magazine. The VP70Z is the civilian variant which has no provision for a stock nor for burst-fire.
