Actually its not that big at all. Its a combat pistol size but the grip is the smallest I have felt on any full size pistol, double or single stack! Much smaller the a glock 17 or even a single stack P7. Most of the weight is from a big slide that was needed for repeated 3 round burst fire. Dont forget the VP70M was designed as a machine gun, the VP70Z came later as a modification of it so its built like a tank. Also I have a Wolff spring kit in it and with it and when the pistol and trigger are properly lubricated its a nice smooth long pull. Kind of like a tuned double action revolver trigger. Its a sweet and soft shooter as it has a built in dual spring recoil buffer, and with the stock deadly accurate as it has a fixed barrel. Also for those that dont know its the world first polymer pistol. Also its a striker fired double action.... Sound familiar? This pretty much was the inspiration for glock.
