Concealable: Yes, the CC9 is the smallest pistol HK has ever made – comparable to other popular micros in the market. But while “small” is fine for everyday convenience, the CC9 is designed to perform big if the day comes when you are forced to fight for your life.

Shootable: The CC9 is a micro-compact that shoots like a larger pistol. Painstakingly tuned kinematics and ergonomics combine to make recoil surprisingly easy to manage in a pistol this size. The 5lb. trigger has short, clean travel and reset, with a clearly discernable wall. The grip can even be adjusted for length of pull with two interchangeable backstraps.

Reliable: Made to the same standards as HK’s legendary full-size duty pistols, the CC9 was torture tested to NATO AC/225 specifications. That’s because even though it’s small, it’s still an HK.
