After discovering Honor Defense would be showing the new Honor Guard pistols at the NASGW Expo, I was eager to to arrive and check out the new guns. I have a great deal of appreciation for thin 9mm pistols designed for self defense. A brand new design like the Honor Guard will always catch my attention.

Ever since Heckler & Koch introduced the VP9 in 2014, many in the shooting world have been wondering when a .40 caliber version would hit the shelves. Well, it is now here.
Say hello to the HK VP40.
The VP40 is a striker-fired pistol with a polymer frame. Closely resembling the original VP9, the VP40 shares many of the same features and innovations of the original handgun. Lets go over a few of these, plus talk about some of the differences…
