Heckler and Koch CC9 Release Video

[@rackpull772]

Thanks for the detailed breakdown as always. Hoping they release a frame with a paddle release.

[@n3qdz]

I love the paddle release I hope they will release a paddle version. I know the frame and mechanics have to change it's not an easy thing to do. looks great though!

[@Mcmikecruz01]

Well it is a chassis system so grips shouldn't be that big of a deal ​@@n3qdz

[@just_joshin_you]

@@n3qdzno they don’t. It’s the same length of pull as the vp9. Paddle release would be the same..

[@Lexicologist1971]

As I understand it, it will have 3 options for the mag release.

[@803Gmpch]

I feel the CC9 revision may adopt the standard one-sided button mag release once the general public has handled it.

[@scottcallahan3470]

James we are so fortunate to have you as a resource. I really like my VP9SK. Other gun tubers have commented that HK is really late to the party, but your thorough explanation of the finer points of what makes this pistol better is excellent. Thank you. Scott

[@teufelshundtactical]

And that’s why I do what I do. Thank you.

I am sure I am one of many who agree!

My feed was full of CC9 vids today, but this one was by far the best overview (not surprising). It was not the first one I watched, but James really changed my overall opinion about the gun. Thanks for great content as usual.

[@teufelshundtactical]

Many thanks.

Thanks for such a great comprehensive review. Looking forward to what else is coming from HK and I’m glad you will be there to teach us.

[@MilitantX1]

James, great video! As an HK fanboy (HK is my pistol brand of choice) I have been waiting on the HK CC9. Well, the wait is over. I just picked it up today and I absolutely love it! It feels great in my hand and I love the slimness of it. I had already ordered 2 extra 12-rd mags for it and can't wait for the 15-rd mags to drop. I'm taking it to the range in a few days to run 300 rds through it. HK is not 'late to the party' whatsoever. Those of us who love HK know how they operate. They take their time, they do things right. And they always release a high-quality product. The HK CC9 is no different! It is my new EDC. 😎

[@teufelshundtactical]

That’s awesome. Enjoy your latest H&K.

[@zebdeming]

After watching a couple other videos today about this pistol, I was not sold on it. I knew I should have watched your video first, as it goes so much further in depth as to why it is better. Thanks so much for the effort you put into these videos. Gonna have to pick one of these up now

[@teufelshundtactical]

Happy to hear it.

[@RevMatchDownshift]

Thank you for this thorough overview James! I am so excited for this gun! Many will make obvious complaints, without any experience with the actual gun. One thing I'm reminded of is the USP series... still seeing MIL/LE service 31 years later! Yet, with some competitors' guns, 1-2yrs in and they've already seen inline "updates" and discreet component changes (as opposed to recalls). There truly isn't another manufacturer you can rely on as much as H&K in knowing that whatever you buy is likely the most tested, durable, and reliable example on the market. I hope the modular frame design grows and propagates for H&K into other models. If we can ever one day see a modular frame LEM hammer gun from H&K, I can die a happy man! ;-)

[@kyliejohn3813]

Love that the CC9 uses the HK interchangeable side panels and back straps. A truly customizable grip.

[@teufelshundtactical]

No side panels on the CC9, just the back strap.

[@GregSims-f2h]

Fantastic as usual James. Your attention to detail is second to none brother. I too share the passion for H&K Germany and have had my reservations about everything you already covered when they move to the USA. That being said H&K is the one gun manufacturer that I truly believe will not sacrifice quality control, nor let the pride of H&K USA and passionate H&K owners falter. Thank You James!!!

[@teufelshundtactical]

Thank you, my friend.

Cannot wait for this Edit: I wish they would have released it with paddle mags. Sad.

[@thomashoffman5745]

....and every review I've read of their guns that have paddles is loaded with comments from guys whining about the guns not having button mag releases. Wahhh all my other guns have buttons, wahhh have to learn another manual of arms. Look, every survey done by gun manufacturers clearly shows that the American market overwhelmingly prefers button mag releases, so don't be surprised when HK uses them on a gun for the American market.

[@jpo2311]

It's a chassis gun! They could offer both.

[@thomashoffman5745]

Bar none the best review of this gun on the web. While the host is obviously HK employed, he stays very technical, leaving out vague praise (at least until the very end). Whereas many technical reviews get boring, he kept this very interesting and I was focused through the entire video. I really appreciated this refreshing detour from the many superficial opinion videos out there.

[@teufelshundtactical]

Many thanks. Tons of similar H&K content on the channel. Enjoy.

I’m still waiting for my VP9SK to come in now that H&K is finally manufacturing and shipping the California version.

Everyone can cry that it looks like this...or is late..and everyone else is on the market....but all of those other manufacturer's have a certain amount of doubt in their trust.

[@chrisragone8785]

If this was the first couple years of the SIG P365 I’d agree with you but it’s not. The P365 has been perfected over 6 years of being in the real world. Plus, it had better grip options like the superb ones from Wilson Combat. HK or not this pistol is unproven and way behind everything else on the market.

Thank you so much for this video it was both informative and insightful regarding HK’s newest release! I have watched so many of your videos during downtime in my day. While pointing out small internals on the gun, I think it would be helpful if the pin you are using had a painted red or other vibrant color. Given the shadows and the dark on dark nature of what you’re using to point. It certainly would help me out at least.

[@davidt5085]

Great detailed breakdown, thanks!

[@rc4728]

The most comprehensive H&K reviews anywhere! Thanks for highlighting the “over and above” engineering that H&K integrates into their weapons. Lots of thought, testing, and subject matter expert experience in this platform, for sure. Based on your collaboration with H&K engineers, do you think there is sufficient space in a platform this size to create a hammer-fired version?

[@teufelshundtactical]

Thanks. There will not be a hammer fired version of this model, but if more hammer fired options are what the customers want, continue to make it known.

[@czeke7513]

Great review as always! One slight correction: The CC9 is not "about 1/3 as wide as the VP9." That would mean the CC9 is about .44" wide. The CC9 is 1/3 of an inch thinner than the VP9.

[@FREEDOMGUNNER]

43:40 My VP9-SK is my EDC, and I ALWAYS USE IT IN TRAINING MATCHES! The guys snicker at me and I'm not the fastest shooter, but I'm usually in the top 3 for accuracy. I train with my EDC because that's what's gonna save my life the day I need to use it. I could care less about high scores and cool factors with bigger guns! I TRAIN TO LIVE! Having a reliable and accurate weapon gives me the confidence I'll need if something goes south, and being one with your EDC is literally a critical life or death relationship! I think this new CC9 could replace the VP9-SK for the EDC role and the VP9-SK can become a valuable home defense weapon to save my family!

[@Alexanderofthe9th]

I think it looks awesome and i love the testing it went thru before it went to market including passing the same tests they run their full size pistols thru for military trials. Thats a massive selling point. Especially compared to say, sigs reputation with newer pistols. If sig didnt have the macro, i would sell my 365s and convert over. But for now, the macro does a fantastic job ticking boxes that i dont think any other pistol does as far as size, capacity, reliability and customization.

[@teufelshundtactical]

Thanks. I need to get to it and the P30 series too.

[@DIYDad1]

Hey if they've perfected the design then the wait was worth it IMO. Rather have it done right the first time. I've seen P365's fail out of the box, after a couple of mags, broken trigger springs, bad strikers, it's rare but it does happen and I've seen it first hand for those naysayers, and I'm a sig fan too. As much as I LOVE carrying my P2000 as my EDC, this might fill a role in sort of a smaller deep concealment type of package but honestly I'd just take my P30sk if I needed something like that, no paddle mag release, boo. I'll live but also sad lol. Is it just me or does the design kinda look like a P365 had a baby with a SCCY and this was the result lol? Great review as always friend keep it up!

[@SasquatchMountainProject]

[@chrisfishback7363]

Genuine question, not troll bait... why did HK-USA design a completely new micro instead of simply manufacturing the SFP9CC in the US?

[@pco5267]

The SFP9CC that you have seen is a circa 2021 prototype though, I'm with you though - cut the grip for 8rd flush mags with the ability to take 10/12/15 rounders from the CC9;, paddle only, cut barrel length and ditch the rail, give us a manual safety option, and proceed to replace every micro .380 out there

Thanks for what comes across as an actual review of the weapon. I had watched a few shorter "reviews" and not come away with too positive an impression. Your take has changed that impression. Still on the fence as to whether I'll pick one of these up, as your discussions on the P2K had already confirmed my decision to carry that platform. Carry a P2K in .357Sig. Just can't get past a hammer fired weapon. Regards,

[@teufelshundtactical]

Thanks. As I said in the video, it’s not going to replace all my other H&K’s, but for when even a P2000SK is a little to big or uncomfortable, this will allow me to always have a pistol on my body. Give it a try and you may adopt the same reasoning.

So my eight HKP2000 and my four HKP2000SK mags won't work and they can sell more mags? That's probably a deal breaker for me. I do not like Glocks. The grip angle is all wrong. But at least there are areas of consistent design to benefit the buyer. Oh well.

[@Dbbowen]

Man. I waited years for the SFP9CC. I saved up and put money aside to buy 2 of them on day 1. Then they release this. I just don’t understand. They removed everything we love about H&K. No paddle release. No charge assist things. No classic H&K styling. This one just misses the mark on everything. I was really excited to add this to the safe next to my p30, p30L, Usp, and VP9. There is no way I’m buying the CC9. If they release the SFP9CC or “VP9CC” or whatever. I’ll still buy two. I guess I’m going to get a g43x instead. The one positive is you are 100% right about the plastic boxes. I have them just taking up space. The soft box thing is a lot nicer and they really did a good job on that. This kinda left a bad taste in my mouth as a H&K guy.

[@teufelshundtactical]

I appreciate your feedback and will definitely share with with the team, but I would suggest you give the CC9 a try before firmly making up your mind. I would not have taken the time to put so much time and effort into the video and all of the work behind the scenes leading up to the release if I didn't think the pistol was excellent.

However, while this new release certainly will be of outstanding performance, its aesthetic strays from classic HK styling, and is visually disappointing. Does that matter?
