HK CC9 Review:
Compact Power from Heckler & Koch
When it comes to compact pistols that strike a balance between power, precision, and reliability, Heckler & Koch (HK) is a name that commands respect. The HK CC9 (Concealed Carry 9mm) is the latest addition to HK’s renowned lineup, designed for everyday carry without compromising performance. HK CC9 Review is here.
Design & Build Quality
The HK CC9 follows HK’s tradition of German-engineered excellence with:
-
Striker-fired, polymer-frame construction (similar to the Glock 43 but with refined ergonomics)
-
3.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel (comparable to rifles like the CZ 512 in durability)
-
Optics-ready slide (no adapter plates needed)
Performance & Reliability
Tested with 500+ rounds, the CC9 outperformed many micro-compacts:
✔ Recoil control – Smoother than the Glock 27 Gen 4
✔ Accuracy – 2-inch groups at 15 yards (rivalling precision rifles like the American-180 .22LR)
✔ Durability – Zero malfunctions (HK’s military-grade standards)
Note: Unlike a Glock switch, the CC9 is designed for lawful concealed carry.
