NEW from H&K comes the CC9! HK’s first micro-compact pistol. But there is more than meets the eye with this tiny HK.
In 2018 SIG Sauer released the P365 and changed the CCW landscape forever. With the first true micro-compact pistol with a 10-round capacity and easy-to-carry size, the P365 forced innovation.
While other brands introduced a micro-compact pistol soon after, HK took its time. In fact, this pistol has been in development since before the P365 was released. For 8 years, HK USA has been cooking their CC9. And yes, it really did come from HK USA. This is the first firearm entirely developed by the USA branch of the legendary German brand.
More than that, this is the first HK firearm to be fully developed entirely for the US civilian market. This is the first HK firearm to be entirely made in the USA. No German parts, not just “assembled” in the USA. From frame to barrel and everything inbetween, the CC9 is
made in the USA.
SPECS:
- Caliber: 9mm
- Length: 6.03”
- Height: 4.92” (12-round mag) | 4.60” (10-round mag)
- Width: .99”
- Barrel Length: 3.32”
- Weight: 18.4oz (unloaded)
- MSRP: $699
Torture tested to AC/225 and MIL-STD tests for reliability and durability, the CC9 is likely the most thoroughly tested micro-compact pistol ever released.
The CC9 comes with two magazines, one 12-round, and one 10-round or two 10-round magazines. Both models are the same MSRP of $699. 10-round magazines are flush-fitting while the 12-rounders have a pinky extension.
All CC9 pistols come optics-ready using the RMSc/Holosun 407k footprint.
Something very welcome for left-handed shooters is the CC9 is fully ambi! The magazine release and slide release are on both sides of the pistol and both work at all times. No switching sides are required.
For lights or lasers, the CC9 has a Picatinny rail out front.
As a size comparison, the CC9 with a 12-round mag is roughly the same overall dimensions as a SIG P365XL. Not as small as possible, but an almost-perfect size for most people.
Full review is coming soon!
