HK CC9 - 600rd Review - No Compromise Micro-Compact

[@HTownWerewolf]

Great review Amigo! I've been considering a CC9 I will have to check one out and see how it compares to my Sig Macro.

[@kddrums85]

Great review! Wish I could find one in stock somewhere 😢

[@WalterRitchey]

I’m not sure if they still have them, but so got mine from Scheels! No one else had them or were price gouging. I paid 599. Called the store and they shipped to my FFL.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

@@WalterRitchey None at Scheels.

[@WalterRitchey]

@ dang you’re right. I just looked and they’re showing out at all locations. But when they had them, they weren’t price gouging. So hopefully soon they have more!

[@hoatzen7887]

damnnnnnn, sick new piece

[@charlesthehammer4097]

Just found your channel. Great review. I might have to look at the CC9.

[@Lift4Life_Patriot]

I have one on order as my first EDC. I know there's tons of other trusted proven Sub/Micro-compacts but I really like this piece and it's hard to pass up on an H&K. I tried very hard to like the P365X and I just couldnt. Trigger pull is too long, it's too snappy, and I just didnt like it. The other contender was the S&W MP. Very excited to get my hands on this soon. I have a Upula reloader to help with the stiff mags. Thanks for the solid review.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Did you try the trigger on this one before you ordered it?

[@Lift4Life_Patriot]

Also I ordered the Custom Solace IWB Holster from Gunfighters Inc. and believe it will be a solid comfortable holster for the CC9. It's fully customizable. I'm pairing this with the Hunter Constantine Carry Belt.

[@WalterRitchey]

That holster looks really nice! I’m going to bookmark it to try in case I need another option. I ordered the two HK had on their webshop at launch.

[@Lift4Life_Patriot]

@@WalterRitcheyjust got delivered and it’s very nice. Super comfortable. Should have the cc9 in a week or 2 and will revert with feedback.

Bruh i literally am just learning about this gun today. Ive been spamming videos to see if it holds up to what hk says and you have posted the first video that has held it to the fire. thank you and ill be subbed here for years. Do you think they'll drop a 45?

[@WalterRitchey]

Thank you! A lot of the videos I saw felt like ads with little time behind the gun. $700 msrp isn’t nothing! Other than the slide finish issues and what appears not to be a few fault rounds of AAC, it runs well and I’m extremely happy with it. I think their last 45 was the HK45 and HK45C which was in 2006. It’s sad because this past year, I’ve been shooting my 45s more than my 9s and I’m actually shooting better groups / feel more comfortable with them. I doubt they’d do it for a small gun like this, but I’d love to see them make some sort of new 45 or even a 10mm handgun! With this new US factory fully functional, anything could happen at this point. Germany is focusing on military contracts and the factory in Georgia is focusing on consumer. I also really hope we get a proper UMP 45.

[@bev8200]

@ well this one will end up in the rotation I’ve had a g26 for years and never felt the need to join the micro sub push, but knowing they did the homework and made it modular got my attention. A 45 or 10mm would be perfect. I hope they do it.

[@sinistar426]

Complaints. No paddle mag release as was show to us with one during development. Its price tag. We seem to be paying a German made premium for a USA built/ made firearm.

[@WalterRitchey]

I would love to see the paddle. If they ever did a frame update or option I would want it.

[@chrisragone8785]

Get an Uplula to load the magazines. My CC9 magazines are easy to load now.

[@WalterRitchey]

Thanks, I’ll check them out!

Appreciate an actual honest review. Nobody ever covers things like how sometimes new magazines suck ect. Everyone else has perfect guns from the factory which is BS.

[@mike34744]

I’ve only ran 115 grain, 90 grain, and 50 grain and has not had any malfunctions.

[@WalterRitchey]

First time I encountered this was a P30L. It would frequently stove pipe with 115gr. HK customer support tells people to use 124gr and I never had an issue since. Now I buy 124gr exclusively. If the numerous “Guntubers” failures somehow weren’t caused by the 115gr that would be bad news, as it would mean there are CC9 out there with other issues…. I also have tested various hollow points including the Sierra high velocity 65gr 9mm which was the first and only time I’ve gotten a squib in a HK. It happened on the 2nd round I fired. Therefore, I do not use anything less than 125gr now. Very interesting you have tried other lighter loads with success. I’m just afraid of another squib so I don’t chance it!

[@mike34744]

@ I had this issue with my staccato. It wouldn’t run any ammo under 100 grains. I tried running underwood ammo and liberty civil defense and it didn’t work. Once I stuck with mainly 124 grains and then 115 grains it works fine.

[@WalterRitchey]

@ there’s a chance it could’ve just needed the hotter ammonia for break in - in the case of my P30L. Since it was a new gun. But I always am sketched out when guys review a gun hundreds or thousands of rounds and claim zero malfunctions at all. Especially depending on ammo used! Sig M18 ammo I think it’s called is a +P fmj so ideally I’ll run a box or two of that to help smooth a new gun out right out of the box.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Sounds like you need a MagLula.

[@WalterRitchey]

One other guy suggested this too! Definitely ordering one lol

[@andyhardie-brown2198]

Please set a good example by wearing eye protection.

[@WalterRitchey]

You’re right, I typically do and I did when first trying it out. I had enough trust in after the first few hundred rounds that I didn’t wear them that day, but I should have.

[@JimSkeltonKnives]

How is the guy who doesn’t have basic fundamentals down like grip, talking trash about other guntubers. Man, if you have to readjust your grip after every shot, I don’t think you can talk shit about anyone else and how they evaluate guns lol. I’m amazed. There are some really good reviewers who are great shooters that need to purchase every gun they review, but it seems like HK sent the cc9 to this guy for T&E. He makes the gun look like it has the energy of a .357 magnum and makes it look like it’s horribly inaccurate at the same time. Not a good look for HK IMO.

[@WalterRitchey]

HK has never sent me anything free outside of a few logo stickers when I buy from their webshop. As I stated in the video, I purchased this CC9 from Scheels for $599, one of the few with these in stock and not over MSRP. I’ve probably shot less than 10,000 rounds through any gun. Ever. Some guys have more than that on a single firearm. I am not claiming to be an expert. I am claiming to be your average consumer that happens to have an infinity for firearms especially German ones. I share my experiences, because they may not differ from your own if you were to purchase this firearm. Hopefully I can provide even a single piece of useful information to you to help you make your purchasing decision! I would not spend all the time and money on these videos if I didn’t think they could help someone in some way. Appreciate your time for watching.

[@JimSkeltonKnives]

@ great response, nice to see the humble attitude. I had you pegged wrong, it just seemed a bit over the top with the criticism of the other content creators.

[@WalterRitchey]

@@JimSkeltonKnives that’s my bad, the guys that covered this are still guys I watch and respect. Really it’s more of the way the industry has become in general. Everything feels like a commercial and everyone is afraid to admit to any negatives out of risk of losing a sponsor. But while I have room to improve, trust me when I say this little guy shoots better than some of the other HK’s out there such as my P30 which is a bigger grip and longer barrel. Muzzle flip will happen, but that’s expected with a barrel this short. My only gripe was mine had a damaged slide from the factory, but they replaced it under warranty and paid shipping both ways, so I’m content.

[@quoththeraven7]

Man, The recoil from this video looks like he’s shooting a 45.. i’m going to still wait for the Hk FS9PCC that looks like a HK and should’ve been released here! not that thing

[@WalterRitchey]

They confirmed that we’re not getting that one. If you’ve got experience it’s really not bad! Yes, there’s muzzle flip due to how small it is. That’s unavoidable. But it’s quick to get back on target and it’s accurate. For new shooters, I probably would recommend something bigger.

[@user-lv8cv8sv2f]

The muzzle flip has to do with the gentleman's abilities and technique.

[@chrisragone8785]

You’re going to be waiting a long time as HK has repeatedly said the SP9CC is not going to be released in the U.S. In addition, if you’re so scared of the recoil of the HK CC9, a smaller SP9CC would recoil more 😂

[@quoththeraven7]

@@chrisragone8785 if they repeatedly said it’s not gonna be released in the US that means they’re aware that there’s an overwhelming demand for it. It’s coming bro. Believe That! They just don’t wanna take a loss on this garbage they just released
