THIS IS THE REVIEW I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. For those who don't have an unlimited ammo budget take your new gun make sure it is empty remove the magazine, now sit on your couch put on your favorite movie and start racking the slide. Do that a few hundred times and you will have advanced your break in by a considerable amount.
Doing this also taught me that psa dagger firing pins are garbage that break after dry fire. Luckily it broke at home, so i could buy an actually good firing pin.
I've been binge watching these HK CC9 videos trying to decide whether I should splurge on one or not when I already have something that's in the same category. Your video was exactly what I was looking for. It might be the first non influencer HK CC9 video I've seen in the dozens of videos I've seen
Im going to wait till they release a Paddle Version… They had paddle in most of the other guns till all the Smith and Wesson Fanboys cried about a Paddle….. So now it’s our turn to get what we want… 😈😈😈 Us Germans will wait till all these Americanized Versions of this gun are scrutinized and flaws worked out so that when the Paddle version comes out it will be perfected. 🇩🇪🏓 or BUST!!!
I started out with 1911s, and got a Sig 320, and eventually an HK P30.. That handgun fit my hand perfect out of the box. Never had anything feel like it. The CC9 has that same feel. Great review!
Not an influencer and I got one and my magazines were labeled, just saying. Anyways, I appreciate the down-to-earth, straightforward review and the way you get right down to business without the fluff. Thanks for the video!
Not an influencer. My mags were labeled. That's bunk. Sorry, big guy. (And for the record, I love mine so far. Only 150 rounds or so through it but so far it's off to a good start.) I do find it interesting that you found it more snappy than the 365. I've had a 365 SAS for a few years and I actually thought my cc9 was a little less jumpy. Didn't shoot them side by side, though, so maybe my perception was just off that day. In any event, I appreciate the review! Happy to give you a subscribe. I like your stuff.
@@DTWCT Don't think that's actually true, at least currently. The serial number is on the frame, so a different frame would also have to be serialized. Teufulshund Tactical said the FCU was for rigidity not modularity, but that main change int the future.
@@DTWCTbut like the echelon unfortunately a year later and all we have is aftermarket and factory colors for frames still waiting for the aggressive texture frame and they just release another echelon but with a comp 😭 the only company that ran with the modularity is sig which is already flooded with size and comfort frames for the same or less as this hk with a broad spectrum of parts holsters and accessories. The only reason I see to buy this hk is because it says hk in my opinion
Thank you for the honest working mans take on this sidearm. I am disappointed that it has no paddle mag release version as well? Maybe because this version is 🇺🇸 made? At this point I wonder if I should contemplate the Kimber Mako instead 🤔 Great vid and thanks for the info 👍
Those mag stickers were on the gun I purchased from my LGS. Hoping to get it out to the range asap. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall feeling of quality, and the trigger was another pleasant surprise. Great review and thanks for sharing.
sarasota fl here, just got power back on from Hurricane Milton, in my mind anything H&K / Glock is amazing it just works every time. keep up the content SPN. You practice what you preach as well. keep working man you're doing good. I wanna see you hit 1m subs.
Great review, Thanx. I checked the CC9 out on Handgun Hero against my HK P30sks and against other micro 9s. Because of my hand size, I smother skinny micro guns. They seldom lock back at the end of a mag because of my grip. I like that the CC9 grip, while thinner, is longer than most micros. A big negatory for me is that they didn't put mag release paddles on the CC9. I prefer paddles over 'The Button'. I've arranged the customizable side and back grip plates on my P30sks for a right sided palm swell and the grip texture is as perfect as my Walther PDP. The P30sks' weight eradicates snappiness and I had it milled to accept a 6 MOA Holosun 407k red dot. It is impossible to miss within 20 yds. The P30sks also has a thumb safety, so I carry cocked and locked like a 1911 and consequently, I never shoot it double action. I'd love to take a CC9 out for a spin, though, and see if I maul it like I do other micros.
I wish they kept the paddle mag release and would prefer a no optic cut option but will just deal with those two issues. I recently dumped all my micro 9’s (P365, P365xl, Shield Plus and Glock 43x) and went to my VP9SK for the rare occasions I carry a semi auto but I ordered this today as soon as I got to work. Will pick it up when I get my Xmas bonus discount in addition to my regular and it will be 25% off.
I did the same thing bro, stick with the vp9sk, and if i need to carry something lighter in gym shorts or something, i carry a keltec p17.. 10rds of 22lr stacked in the same 1inch group will mess up most anything.. for $150 its not something im afraid of breaking while running.. vp9sk for everything else
@@FL-Kaiman I carry a semi auto maybe 1% of the time my EDC is my Ruger SP101 3” 327. That said my buddy got his CC9 and we put 500rds down range yesterday and I’m beyond impressed with the CC9. It was flawless I’ve seen so many say it’s so snappy and I didn’t find that to be the case at all and the trigger was amazing better than any micro 9 I’ve tried yet, again it won’t replace my 327 but will definitely enter the occasional edc rotation.
It does look like a Taurus. As for the price I’m seeing these go for, it doesn’t do anything different that my optics ready Shield Plus doesn’t already do and I’m a little bummed it doesn’t have the paddle release. I’m sure they’ll sell a lot but I won’t be buying. Great video as always 👍
And you don't have to sell that shield every time you go shoot, they'll say, oh man that's a shield.. and when you shoot that h&k, they're going to say, look at that Taurus you cheap basard and you're going to have to sell it every time you go shooting... No it's an HK.. well you should have got a Taurus..😂
@@HammersOverStrikers Except S&W doesn't make anything even close in quality to an HK. The Shield Plus has been plagued with a lot of problems and recalls. They beta test their customers just like Sig does. HK did the R&D on this gun for at least 5 years before releasing it. You know it's perfect out of the gate or at least you should know that. More importantly I bet this pistol shoots straight and to POA/POI. Something the S&W M&Ps OF ANY KIND don't usually......
the tests were performed by HK, but dont forget SOCOM also did their own tests. I will never trust in house results for obvious reasons. time will tell and I doubt this is as tough and durable as a USP. Simply impossible.
As a huge HK fan that owns some of the most Iconic HK firearms. I can confidently say that the only Taurus I would trust my life to is the TX22. It is ironically also the only semiautomatic 22lr handgun that I would trust my life to.
Same people that trash the taurus and say they wouldn't trust it Still wouldn't stand in front of one🤦♂️🤷♂️🤣🤣 I've had sigs,glock,walther,hk,rock island and more including taurus and never had an issue with any taurus
It appears that the remark on the stickers = influencer guns might not be true. People have been buying them retail and reporting that they have the stickers on the mags. Maybe add a text note on screen? Love your videos, keep up the great work
Just picked one up yesterday at a local gun range - can confirm mine had those round labels at the bottom so don't think it was an influencer variant. Also put down about 100 rounds so far and it does have a bit of kick but manageable with good grip fundamentals. Maybe just me being a baby but felt slight discomfort from kick on the webbing near thumb.
Appreciate the real world input. I've had and still like H&Ks but honestly, the Sig 365XL I already have fits my needs well; even if a side by side comparison showed a few advantages to the H&K, I don't need both so I'd lose $s on a sell/trade, I'd need a new holster etc and end up with almost the same EDC. You may choose elsewise but for me, nah.
Great review.... as a very happy vp9 owner I'm very interested in this pistol... HK products are very reliable... I've owned quite a few different models from rifles to pistols
So, thanks for your honest review, much appreciated especially after reading many disappointing comments about it. I would like it if you showed how to disassemble it, does it have the recoil reduction spring like the USP, does it have polygonal rifling like the USP? Show the slide rails, etc. I know it’s early, maybe the next video (after you put 100 rounds through it). Thanks, love your vids!
It does not have the recoil reduction spring like the USP (big loss IMO - should be standard on all HK pistols). Its recoil assembly is more like a refined VP9. It does have polygonal rifling. 3.32" barrel.
The Taurus reference is due to the way it looks not the way it's built. I'm sure it is a quality build however, it is the HK that doesn't look like an HK. Compare it side by side witb the P2000, Vp9sk, P30sk etc... you'll see where it seperates itself from the brand. We wanted the SFP9CC. Looks like an HK, mini vp9.
I’m aware. It looks like a Taurus g3c mixed with a Taurus TH9. My point is the looks don’t matter, I buy hk for function. I don’t think any hk’s are very attractive. Respect!
@@jamesmaysflyingwashingmach7459 the only reason would be size. It’s much more concealable and for it size it handles recoil very very well. I like subcompacts tho
I'd prefer it in 380 Auto, because the gun is small and light, so with 380 Auto it would be hold the line better and could keep the line of shooting better if yo fire 3-5-7 or all 10 rounds. What do u think ?
That’s my main thing when I think about buying certain types of guns… “would I rely on this weapon to protect myself and my family.” Generally speaking, I trust Glock and HK with my life. I know the testing and track record. I know the R&D HK puts into their guns. I know the time HK puts into their guns. This gun was developed for 7 years I believe and that is something I care about. I will likely purchase one and it will likely be in my carry rotation with my Glock 26.
My very first handgun was a H&K many years ago, and my very last one is also a H&K. Good start but I don’t think it will be my last unless my wife discovers that I was saving for my own Christmas present which is this one in the video. Lol. Thank you for your great advice 👏
How does it shoot compared to a shield plus? My shield plus shoots FLAT. I'm hoping this is as good. I was really interested in the HK Micro 9 but was expecting the SPF9CC. I'll wait a coulple years and see if that hits our shores.
If they put the SFP Frame on a P30 style Grip with paddle it’s all over for the Competition… Let the Americans have their buttons so they quit complaining… 🇩🇪🏓
I have the cc9 great gun shoots great I have a bunch of different Hk pistol and rifle I would trust my life with and Hk any day over other pistols and rifles
Nice review man. I appreciate all the honestly and comparison’s. This was really well done for a quick follow up at range. Just surprised you guys didn’t use the 10; a single mag at the range is like pulling weeds
You’re right…also the Canik Mete MC9 comes with 15 round mags, a mediocre but decent holster, tools, and it comes standard cut for an optic. I really like my 9 plus too.
Best review on this yet. Looking into buying a 9mm and i think this one is worth checking out. My HK'S (P2000 and usp40 compact) are in 40 cal. The 9mm will be mostly for range fun. Can't replace my 40 compact daily carry.
Thank you for sharing your experience, great insightful review, will be buying. I recommend potential buyers also check out James Williamson's technical video on the gun. This gun has a trigger blade safety and a real firing pin block so like a Glock you can carry with confidence.
@@strawdemindset you see, there's a reason for that price difference... One has been designed and tested for over 7 years, 750,000 rounds, passed NATO torture testing, and is using very high quality materials like a polygonal rifled barrel CHF'd from canon grade steel. The other started out as a literal sloppy rip-off of a Walther PPQ from Turkey... I would personally never trust my life to a Canik. HK, Glock, FN and S&W fill that role and I personally think the S&W is the best option if money is an issue.
@@Berserkable There's no such thing as "NATO torture testing". That's marketing. This thing isn't made for NATO. It's made for the US civilian market. Anyone who owns an HK knows they cut corners for their civilian products (Such as non chrome-lined barrels for the MR223 and MR762). This will prove no different.
Fantastic review. Thank you for giving it to us straight. I thought for sure you were not going to like the gun, I'll wait a bit for holsters before diving in, though.
The finish looks nice. I'm not sure how to really know or test it though except for just long term use. For me, I think the finish is one of the most important features on a gun. They added it on handgun hero in the last 24 hours. It's just a little larger than a P365 in every dimension except for it being the same thickness. On paper it's 0.99" compared to the P365's 1.00". It appears to have a higher bore axis... but a lot of people say that don't matter much. It still seems like a good carry gun though. It's gonna be hard to compete though with it being larger than all the others. I'd still buy one if the prices was right though.
The VP9 was my first handgun and I used it for everything. Conceal carry, home defense etc. I have over 10k rounds thru it and I've yet to have an issue. The only thing I've done to it was have it milled for an optic. When the VP9SK came out that became my primary concealed carry gun. I'd say I have about 5k rounds thru it give or take and I've had no issues with it and the only modification I made to it was getting an optic milled into it. Are they more expensive than other similar guns, yes, but in my opinion it's worth it. I haven't gotten a chance to handle one but I think the lack of side grip panels could be a deal breaker for me. The reason I like the VP9s so much is the ability to customize the grip so it fits your hand like a glove and I don't think you're going to be able to do that with this one. I hope I'm wrong and that you get great ergonomics with it.
This is a great review! The micro comparison I'd like to hear about is with the FN Reflex, and it would be nice to hear some comparison talk between the CC9 and VP9. The Reflex is my summer carry at work (electrician) and the VP9 is my "when I can hide it" carry at work because, of the guns I own, I shoot it the best. So my bottom line question is can the CC9 replace the VP9 for EDC when it comes to shootability, especially at farther distances like 20-40 yards. That's where the Reflex falls short for me due to size - not because I can't shoot it at those distances, but shooting it as accurately gets way harder than with the VP9.
Great review. Question: Did you clean it or dry fire before shooting? I'm curious if that might have an impact on the stiffness during the initial rounds.
I have 3 HK’s, you will need to bring aerosol oil when shooting during the break -in period. These guys dry out extremely fast and will start to malfunction. Each of them had that issue. Great guns … wouldn’t trade them. HK VP .40, VP9sk, & the VP9 OR. Amazing guns. Hard to work on though. Lots of intricate parts. These guns encouraged me to by the Walther PPQ- and the PFP-F.
A little constructive advice .............. Open with TLDR summary and mix several ammo types and weights in the opening break-in period. Curious to see if the HK will feed steel cased ammo. My Glocks, Sig, and CZs do.
Nice review. I have the Walther PPS M1(which I absolutely love) with the paddle and was waiting for the SFP9CC but this might be a reasonable alternative given the ambi button. I think it will come down to how it feels in my hand and whether I like the trigger feel.
Thank God, and actual review and not an ad. FN, Sako, and a lot of other brands I love do it too. Their marketing dept. must have given up and just decided to send free guns to TH-camrs. A lot of said reviews failed to compare it to any of the other massively popular micros which is what everyone wants to actually know - then they proceed to shoot 115gr (which HK's hate), the gun starts having malfunctions, then they make excuses and proceed to give it a glowing review. I get that for some guys it's just another day at work and they're using these videos to pay their bills and probably don't actually care that much, but $700 MSRP isn't nothing and people deserve transparency when it comes to these things. After all, it might save your life some day.
Which would you rather carry? The sig 365 or H&K? Or better question? Which would you recommend someone to purchase today. if price is not an issue? New H&K or sig 365?
I really appreciated your review on this. I know you have a Stoeger STR-9 MC. I was wanting your opinion on how the HK compares with it. I picked up the STR-9 MC in the gun store the other day and was impressed by the trigger. For almost half the price of the Hk, I think it is a good deal. Is the HK worth the extra coin in your opinion?
I got one last Saturday. It looks better in person than it does on the internet. So people are full of crap talking about how the firearm looks. This my 10th H&K pistol and I trust my HKs more than my Sig's. The 365 is smooth on recoil, but I never liked the mushy felling trigger.
My VP9 has been flawless. Just based on the reviews I’ve seen on the CC9, I think the SK is a larger pistol. I’m not sure if you can run extended magazines in the CC9, but you can with the SK. Another drawback for me is the fact that this review indicated that it was “snappier” than the P365. When I was in the market for a sub-compact pistol, I shot the P365 and it was most definitely a snappy gun. I finally settled on the SK and have not been disappointed.
Being this late to game, you would think that it had something to set it apart from all the other options, like 15+ 9mm flush fit capacity in shield size gun. Instead, its just another good for a month then joining the used market when the next big release drops
SPN awesome review. I'm stuck on why would I buy this with the capacity it has instead of hellcat, hellcat pro, masada slim or a shield 2.0...what is the advantage for the extra money for a short barrel CCW that is gonna give you the same "good enough" accuracy in a defensive shoot situation as you said? I own all those firearms. The feel cannot be that much better lol. Just an objective opinion and not a critique of the review points you made at all.
Hey, gun store employee here. Not sure how they decide what gun gets the weird magazine butt stickers, but we just got one that has those 10+1/12+1 stickers as well. Maybe it's the first wave but I don't think it's just influencers.
My carry gun is a P365XL with a standard P365 grip and I swapped out the front sight because it was shooting low. I hate shooting it, but it is the most comfortable carry gun I've ever had. I forget I even have it sometimes. The only reason I would buy this is because of their claim of rigorous testing, but I don't know if I trust that claim. Every gun company claims they have the most durable and reliable gun because it's a bar none of their customers will ever reach.
@@JDMSiR9 Sadly, even though I hold a conceal carry license, I live in a state where I can't carry more than 10 rounds in the magazine. Having the bigger grip only serves to make the gun harder to conceal with no real benefit.

Do you hold the trigger down and just rack the slide back and forth or do you dry fire after every rack?

As a lefty I am glad I’m seeing likes love the only other thing hand gun that’s ambitious controls is the mc9
Been shooting right handed guns left handed for decades. Theres no need for ambi
SPN thank you for your detailed and honest reviews. Much appreciated. Keep doing exactly what you do. Rock on.
I appreciate that greatly man: lots more to come, respect!
This is the ONE review that I take to heart 100%. THANK YOU!!!!
It appears that the remark on the stickers = influencer guns might not be true. People have been buying them retail and reporting that they have the stickers on the mags. Maybe add a text note on screen? Love your videos, keep up the great work
Its definitely not true. Hes just bitter he didnt get an influencer gun so hes acting like a little kid about it
Just picked one up yesterday at a local gun range - can confirm mine had those round labels at the bottom so don't think it was an influencer variant. Also put down about 100 rounds so far and it does have a bit of kick but manageable with good grip fundamentals. Maybe just me being a baby but felt slight discomfort from kick on the webbing near thumb.
Appreciate the real world input. I've had and still like H&Ks but honestly, the Sig 365XL I already have fits my needs well; even if a side by side comparison showed a few advantages to the H&K, I don't need both so I'd lose $s on a sell/trade, I'd need a new holster etc and end up with almost the same EDC. You may choose elsewise but for me, nah.
Great review.... as a very happy vp9 owner I'm very interested in this pistol... HK products are very reliable... I've owned quite a few different models from rifles to pistols
So, thanks for your honest review, much appreciated especially after reading many disappointing comments about it. I would like it if you showed how to disassemble it, does it have the recoil reduction spring like the USP, does it have polygonal rifling like the USP? Show the slide rails, etc. I know it’s early, maybe the next video (after you put 100 rounds through it). Thanks, love your vids!
It does not have the recoil reduction spring like the USP (big loss IMO - should be standard on all HK pistols). Its recoil assembly is more like a refined VP9. It does have polygonal rifling. 3.32" barrel.
Thanks for the response! I agree about the recoil reduction spring, I do like the 3.32” barrel and polygonal rifling
The Taurus reference is due to the way it looks not the way it's built. I'm sure it is a quality build however, it is the HK that doesn't look like an HK. Compare it side by side witb the P2000, Vp9sk, P30sk etc... you'll see where it seperates itself from the brand. We wanted the SFP9CC. Looks like an HK, mini vp9.
I’m aware. It looks like a Taurus g3c mixed with a Taurus TH9. My point is the looks don’t matter, I buy hk for function. I don’t think any hk’s are very attractive. Respect!
To be honest, I think the grip actually looks more like an HK gun than the SFP9cc. That thing is too flat and plain compared to a VP9 or P30.
@@InvidiousIgnoramus the SFP9CC looks like a mini P2000 to me
There's just no reason at all not to get a VP9sk instead of this thing.
@@jamesmaysflyingwashingmach7459 the only reason would be size. It’s much more concealable and for it size it handles recoil very very well. I like subcompacts tho
I'd prefer it in 380 Auto, because the gun is small and light, so with 380 Auto it would be hold the line better and could keep the line of shooting better if yo fire 3-5-7 or all 10 rounds. What do u think ?
Thank you sir, I have been waiting for them to make this lil guy 🎉
Just straight grown ass man talk by a man’s man. Love it!
That’s my main thing when I think about buying certain types of guns… “would I rely on this weapon to protect myself and my family.” Generally speaking, I trust Glock and HK with my life. I know the testing and track record. I know the R&D HK puts into their guns. I know the time HK puts into their guns. This gun was developed for 7 years I believe and that is something I care about. I will likely purchase one and it will likely be in my carry rotation with my Glock 26.
My very first handgun was a H&K many years ago, and my very last one is also a H&K. Good start but I don’t think it will be my last unless my wife discovers that I was saving for my own Christmas present which is this one in the video. Lol. Thank you for your great advice 👏
Nice review! Can this gun be had without the ugly slide screws (for optic I would never use).
How does it shoot compared to a shield plus? My shield plus shoots FLAT. I'm hoping this is as good. I was really interested in the HK Micro 9 but was expecting the SPF9CC. I'll wait a coulple years and see if that hits our shores.
If they put the SFP Frame on a P30 style Grip with paddle it’s all over for the Competition…
Let the Americans have their buttons so they quit complaining…
🇩🇪🏓
I had to watch this because of the title. I was also amazed at what a good job H&k did
getting all of those reviews done.
THANK YOU FOR THE NO BULLPOOP VIDEO! Earned a new subscriber
I have the cc9 great gun shoots great I have a bunch of different Hk pistol and rifle I would trust my life with and Hk any day over other pistols and rifles
The true review !! Thanks brother
This is the first HK I've ever wanted. As a CZ fan boy I love my CZ P10S so I hope this doesn't disappoint.
I love the ambi controls on a sub compact! As the lefty this is what I’ve been waiting for
I wasn’t sent one… Looking to buy it. The capacity labeling at the bottom of the bags is a sticker that is removable.
Breaking:
"Man who is a firearms enthusiast is enthusiastic about a new firearm!"
Glad to hear the review. Thank you for the details.
You are a plumber, do you recommend pipe dope or Teflon tape for shower head? Great review! Thnx for post
Both. Always make it water tight!
Your comparison against the Hellcat in the future would be appreciated. 👍
Finally a no nonsense straightforward review. You made a subscriber of me.
I appreciate that man, lots more to come over here, respect.
@@spnfirearms My pleasure. 😀
Nice review man. I appreciate all the honestly and comparison’s. This was really well done for a quick follow up at range. Just surprised you guys didn’t use the 10; a single mag at the range is like pulling weeds
Nice review. Especially @6:40 with the trigger/reset focus.
Shield Plus still seems like a way better buy
You’re right…also the Canik Mete MC9 comes with 15 round mags, a mediocre but decent holster, tools, and it comes standard cut for an optic. I really like my 9 plus too.
If only the manufacturing and QC were on par with the design and materials.
Best review on this yet. Looking into buying a 9mm and i think this one is worth checking out. My HK'S (P2000 and usp40 compact) are in 40 cal. The 9mm will be mostly for range fun. Can't replace my 40 compact daily carry.
Thank you for sharing your experience, great insightful review, will be buying.
I recommend potential buyers also check out James Williamson's technical video on the gun. This gun has a trigger blade safety and a real firing pin block so like a Glock you can carry with confidence.
I appreciate that man. It’s a great pickup. Just break it in and it’ll be good to go! Respect
To me this seems like the perfect size Micro 9. I feel like the closest offering to this is the Canik Mc9. Which would you prefer?
Not even a question, hk every time. It’s so much better quality. Respect man. Thanks for watching
Mc9 is less than 400, this is 600.
@@strawdemindset you see, there's a reason for that price difference... One has been designed and tested for over 7 years, 750,000 rounds, passed NATO torture testing, and is using very high quality materials like a polygonal rifled barrel CHF'd from canon grade steel. The other started out as a literal sloppy rip-off of a Walther PPQ from Turkey... I would personally never trust my life to a Canik. HK, Glock, FN and S&W fill that role and I personally think the S&W is the best option if money is an issue.
@@Berserkable There's no such thing as "NATO torture testing". That's marketing. This thing isn't made for NATO. It's made for the US civilian market. Anyone who owns an HK knows they cut corners for their civilian products (Such as non chrome-lined barrels for the MR223 and MR762). This will prove no different.
@@Stunkos “Tested to NATO Army Armaments Group AC/225 standards.”Yes it’s held to the same testing standards that the USP and P30s are.
Seriously digging this. I have a PPS in 40cal and was hoping to see what the new one will be like since the M2 wasn't a big deal.
I like this alot.
Great review, dude. Appreciate your subjective take on the intangibles--that's the kind shit we all wanna know.
I have to ask. If the HK CC9 is rated at an 8 rating, which micro 9 pistols are rated above it?
Fantastic review. Thank you for giving it to us straight. I thought for sure you were not going to like the gun, I'll wait a bit for holsters before diving in, though.
The finish looks nice. I'm not sure how to really know or test it though except for just long term use. For me, I think the finish is one of the most important features on a gun. They added it on handgun hero in the last 24 hours. It's just a little larger than a P365 in every dimension except for it being the same thickness. On paper it's 0.99" compared to the P365's 1.00". It appears to have a higher bore axis... but a lot of people say that don't matter much. It still seems like a good carry gun though. It's gonna be hard to compete though with it being larger than all the others. I'd still buy one if the prices was right though.
The VP9 was my first handgun and I used it for everything. Conceal carry, home defense etc. I have over 10k rounds thru it and I've yet to have an issue. The only thing I've done to it was have it milled for an optic. When the VP9SK came out that became my primary concealed carry gun. I'd say I have about 5k rounds thru it give or take and I've had no issues with it and the only modification I made to it was getting an optic milled into it. Are they more expensive than other similar guns, yes, but in my opinion it's worth it. I haven't gotten a chance to handle one but I think the lack of side grip panels could be a deal breaker for me. The reason I like the VP9s so much is the ability to customize the grip so it fits your hand like a glove and I don't think you're going to be able to do that with this one. I hope I'm wrong and that you get great ergonomics with it.
This is a great review! The micro comparison I'd like to hear about is with the FN Reflex, and it would be nice to hear some comparison talk between the CC9 and VP9. The Reflex is my summer carry at work (electrician) and the VP9 is my "when I can hide it" carry at work because, of the guns I own, I shoot it the best. So my bottom line question is can the CC9 replace the VP9 for EDC when it comes to shootability, especially at farther distances like 20-40 yards. That's where the Reflex falls short for me due to size - not because I can't shoot it at those distances, but shooting it as accurately gets way harder than with the VP9.
Great review guys, thank you! You have a new sub
Thank you man, I appreciate that greatly. Respect
Great review. Question: Did you clean it or dry fire before shooting? I'm curious if that might have an impact on the stiffness during the initial rounds.
Stupid comment.
I have 3 HK’s, you will need to bring aerosol oil when shooting during the break -in period. These guys dry out extremely fast and will start to malfunction. Each of them had that issue. Great guns … wouldn’t trade them. HK VP .40, VP9sk, & the VP9 OR. Amazing guns. Hard to work on though. Lots of intricate parts. These guns encouraged me to by the Walther PPQ- and the PFP-F.
A little constructive advice .............. Open with TLDR summary and mix several ammo types and weights in the opening break-in period. Curious to see if the HK will feed steel cased ammo. My Glocks, Sig, and CZs do.
Meanwhile Walther still hasn’t released their micro 9
Yup tell me about it… or cz… waiting.. respect
Solid advice. Would like more clarity on your thoughts on the sight picture. Thanks for your content and straightforward style. Al
Nice review. I have the Walther PPS M1(which I absolutely love) with the paddle and was waiting for the SFP9CC but this might be a reasonable alternative given the ambi button. I think it will come down to how it feels in my hand and whether I like the trigger feel.
Thank God, and actual review and not an ad. FN, Sako, and a lot of other brands I love do it too. Their marketing dept. must have given up and just decided to send free guns to TH-camrs. A lot of said reviews failed to compare it to any of the other massively popular micros which is what everyone wants to actually know - then they proceed to shoot 115gr (which HK's hate), the gun starts having malfunctions, then they make excuses and proceed to give it a glowing review. I get that for some guys it's just another day at work and they're using these videos to pay their bills and probably don't actually care that much, but $700 MSRP isn't nothing and people deserve transparency when it comes to these things. After all, it might save your life some day.
HK's look like Batman guns! nice! how does it hold when compared with the G43X?
Which would you rather carry? The sig 365 or H&K? Or better question? Which would you recommend someone to purchase today. if price is not an issue? New H&K or sig 365?
Love that you're keeping it honest SPN. Top G.
I really appreciated your review on this. I know you have a Stoeger STR-9 MC. I was wanting your opinion on how the HK compares with it. I picked up the STR-9 MC in the gun store the other day and was impressed by the trigger. For almost half the price of the Hk, I think it is a good deal. Is the HK worth the extra coin in your opinion?
I got one last Saturday. It looks better in person than it does on the internet. So people are full of crap talking about how the firearm looks. This my 10th H&K pistol and I trust my HKs more than my Sig's. The 365 is smooth on recoil, but I never liked the mushy felling trigger.
I love my HK VP9SK. Thanks for the review I’m going to go check them out now.
Can you do a video comparing it to some of the most popular carry guns? I'd like to see the size difference between it and the 43X.
Excellent review but I can’t seem to find any for sale. All out of stock 😳
Good looking micro 9 imo. Most look pretty fugly but this one is proportioned nice.
This is the first time I’m even aware of this Gun.
It’s only been “out” for a few days
Nice review. I have the VP9SK and love the pistol. Is the CC9 noticeably smaller?
I’m on the fence on getting a vp9sk , another Glock, or FN. they had the vp9sk with an optic I was looking at.
I’m also on the fence on getting any of the sk’s. Was looking forward to the paddle release.
My VP9 has been flawless. Just based on the reviews I’ve seen on the CC9, I think the SK is a larger pistol. I’m not sure if you can run extended magazines in the CC9, but you can with the SK. Another drawback for me is the fact that this review indicated that it was “snappier” than the P365. When I was in the market for a sub-compact pistol, I shot the P365 and it was most definitely a snappy gun.
I finally settled on the SK and have not been disappointed.
@@douglaswhitcomb9729 If you are not disappointed with the VP9SK why even bother? Its not much smaller. You can compare the data on the HK homepage.
@@Gieszkanne It was just a curiosity. I have no intention of getting rid of the VP9SK.
Is like to see it broke down and get a look at the fcu. Idk what YT allows
I was hoping it came with paddle release but it doesn't look as bad as some have said. I would like to see one in person for sure.
Excellent review as always man.👊
I am certain I would be happy with the HK, my issue is pistol and 9mm fatigue, I have plenty of both.🤷♂
Being this late to game, you would think that it had something to set it apart from all the other options, like 15+ 9mm flush fit capacity in shield size gun. Instead, its just another good for a month then joining the used market when the next big release drops
For something that was almost R&D'd to death, I've gotta try it. That kind of commitment says a lot.
i would like a little longer barrel and paddle mag release. I shot my VP9SK the best bet chose to carry my P365XL. Just because it was thinner.
How do you compare the the accuracy comparing it to the P365? Also how is the snappiness compared to a LCPs?
This y I love this channel not bias n tells the truth everytime
I appreciate that man, a lot. Thank you and respect
But is it as thrilling as carrying a p365 condition 1 and driving down a bumpy road?
I’ve been waiting to hear from you on this 🙌you are the voice of sub compacts 💯
Great review, NO compromise HK!!
SPN awesome review. I'm stuck on why would I buy this with the capacity it has instead of hellcat, hellcat pro, masada slim or a shield 2.0...what is the advantage for the extra money for a short barrel CCW that is gonna give you the same "good enough" accuracy in a defensive shoot situation as you said? I own all those firearms. The feel cannot be that much better lol. Just an objective opinion and not a critique of the review points you made at all.
Appreciate your honest review 👊🏼
I have a shield plus, and find it very manageable recoil wise compared to the other smaller options. How does this one compare?
Hey, gun store employee here. Not sure how they decide what gun gets the weird magazine butt stickers, but we just got one that has those 10+1/12+1 stickers as well. Maybe it's the first wave but I don't think it's just influencers.
Alright - super pissed this HK isn’t the SFP9CC they been teasing for the last 2 years.
But honestly - which one: FN Reflex or the HK CC9?
My carry gun is a P365XL with a standard P365 grip and I swapped out the front sight because it was shooting low. I hate shooting it, but it is the most comfortable carry gun I've ever had. I forget I even have it sometimes. The only reason I would buy this is because of their claim of rigorous testing, but I don't know if I trust that claim. Every gun company claims they have the most durable and reliable gun because it's a bar none of their customers will ever reach.
change that grip to the xmacro grip and it will shoot way better and carry the exact same
@@JDMSiR9 Sadly, even though I hold a conceal carry license, I live in a state where I can't carry more than 10 rounds in the magazine. Having the bigger grip only serves to make the gun harder to conceal with no real benefit.
How does it compare to the shield plus? Or the carry comp?
