Heavy Lube - Lubrication runs down the sur face when it is held in a ver ti cal position.
No heavy lube is required on the VP9 pistols.
Re-apply lubricant periodically during firing as it burns off from the heat. Apply lubricant
using a clean shav ing brush, cotton swabs, patches or rag. A spray bot tle of lubricant also
works well when using com pressed air to circulate the lubricant into all parts and to remove
the excess from the pistol.

SECTION 8 VP9 ACCESSORIES
RAIL MOUNTED ACCESSORIES
The VP9 has a full length MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) rail molded into the front, lower portion
of the frame (dust cover). This rail allows the operator to mount a wide variety of lights,
lasers aimers, and additional accessories to the handgun by means of the simple and
proven Picatinny interface system (see Figure 34).

To avoid damage to the accessory and the VP9, carefully follow the instructions of the
manufacturer for installing, operating, and removing accessories from the mounting
rails. Always ensure the VP9 pistol is “clear” and unloaded before installing or removing
accessories.
NOTE: Weight of any frame (dust cover) mounted accessories should not exceed
5.64 ounces (160 grams) to ensure reliable function.
Most lights, laser aimers, and similar accessories are installed by sliding them onto the
front of the rail system while depressing a locking mechanism or clipping them on from
the bottom. Again, follow the installation instructions of the accessory manufacturer. If
encountering difficultly, please contact HK Customer Service to avoid damage to the pistol
or the accessory.
