First Look: HK USA CC9

We take a quick look at the new CC9 from HK USA, the company’s first micro-compact carry pistol.

The concealed carry market hasn’t been the same since Sig Sauer released the P365 and ushered in a new era of micro-compact 9mm pistols. It seems that every firearms manufacturer around responded by making their own take on the concept, but Heckler & Koch was conspicuously missing from that list. That’s because HK USA has been working on a micro-9 since before this trend even got started and the company has just been taking its time to ensure perfection. Finally ready to go, HK USA just announced the CC9, the company’s first micro-compact carry pistol and the first HK to be entirely built Stateside for the American concealed carry market.

The major details of the HK CC9 are about what you’d expect for a pistol in its class. It’s a polymer-framed striker-fired 9mm with a 10- or 12-round magazine capacity. It has a 3.32-inch barrel, and its overall size is comparable to that of the Sig P365XL. It’s the CC9’s other features that make it more interesting, including the fully ambidextrous magazine release and slide release, the optics-ready slide for direct-mounting anything with an RMSc footprint and the extensive, abusive testing that HK put the guns through to ensure the utmost reliability. The CC9 also has a loaded chamber indicator on its extractor, an accessory rail and both forward and rear slide serrations.

The HK CC9 is available with either two flush-fit 10-round mags or with one 10-round and one 12-round mag with a pinky extension. Both options have an MSRP of $699.
