@HK CS1
Hey HK CS, here is a small data point for you. An accomplished left-handed petit lady shooter, small to medium hands, fails do disengage trigger tab safeties on a CC9 when holding it with her normal grip. Two different guns, surprisingly worse with a small backstrap. Her husband, who is a tall right handed shooter with large hands, has no such issues with the same two guns. He does get one inadvertent mag drop per session.
This is not meant as a criticism, just a feedback from users.
 
Thats why I put the information out there as there is not alot of true comparrison out there as of yet. Another thing I like about the CC9 over the sigs personally, is that the grip (even with the standard backstrap) is longer front to back than the sigs. Which is more comfortable for me. I think that is why I was able to point shoot the CC9 better than the Sig. Becuase my palm had more flat surface area, whereas the with the sig, it was smaller in my palm causing more variance when trying to get a fast final grip upon drawing from the holster.

This is all based on my hand size and personal preferences. If you get the chance, I would recommend holding one to see how it feels in your hand.
love the modularity of the p365, one of mine is straight from wilson combat with their grip, then other is standard with hogue grip sleeve attached , all on standard grip size module as I have smaller hands and only 10 round state so dont need larger works for me , also have stainless slide with no optic and wilson haas optic and my other standard slide has optic and ramjet afterburner makes it xl length with stadard grip mod

went last night to range ( we get 24/7 access) and took the CC9, put about 200 rounds thru (124 grain fmj ) it and again I am not the most exp shooter in the bunch and initially I was lower and left which is not surprising to me, I concentrated on the support hand and as she loosened up a bit my groupings got a little tighter and not so far lower left, this was at 30 feet and then last few rounds moved up to 25 feet and found to be getting the more comfy wiht the pistol..
not one misfire and the slide racked back at the end of each magazine emptying . the trigger in comparison to standard p365 no comparison as this is much more crisp and definitive break and reset , slightly less concise as my grey gun trigger on the Wilson tuned p365 but for factory trigger it is exceptional , grip and controls were well placed and like I. mentioned I never had or experienced a paddle release so I cant comment on the lack of one on this pistol..

my buddy came with me and between the two of us we had my cc9, my standard grip module p365 with ramjet and afterburner , his standard p365 ( was nice to shoot all three back to back for comparison on recoil and coming back on target the ramjet truly makes it remarkable gun and here we are not allowed to have threaded barrel ) ) , he brought his Glock 19 and Walter full size 45 to add little fun to mix..

his impressions of the cc9 is "I want one" he is the buddy I added to list at store when I secured mine..

like said it may not be for all types for me wiht small hands and 10 round capacity state and tremendous amount of regulations on where we are to carry concealed I find the micro 9 at this point in my journey of gun ownership suits me well.. later on after relocation all bets are off ..
 
I don’t know that we’re overlooking it, since it seems very obvious that HK shifted quite a bit. This gun isn’t really unique, where pretty much every other HK was/is. Our beef is that we don’t like that.🤣
Actually I have to disagree here. Starting with the USP, HK pistols became pretty conventional (especially compared to the P7 and P9S) but they were always built to a higher standard than everything else and had something (an HK-ness) that everything else was lacking. I think the release of the CC9 actually mirrors that pretty well.
 
I don't recall saying they were little, are you a Democrat who just adds words to quotes? Back to the CC9, are you sure there's no buffer? Do you have one. Just screwing with you. Don't care what you say.
The last HK pistol (excluding MP5s) to use a separate buffer was the P9S. The buffer used by the P2000, HK45, and P30 comes complete with the entire recoil spring assembly (RSA). All of these buffers are made of a semi-translucent yellowish-white rubber. I have no clue what “red buffer” you’re talking about.

The CC9, like the SK variants of the above pistols, uses a two-spring RSA design. There is no rubber buffer.
 
I took my G43 up to the local shop and compared their CC9 to it. While the slide sits a little taller, the distance from the beaver tail to the base of the grip is very similar. G43 might be a hair smaller but the doubled mag capacity more than offsets this.

I think I’ll be selling both my G43 and G48 and simply getting a CC9

It’s the same size as a 43X but holds two more rounds and is an HK.

Hes referring to the red buffer that is being sold on ebay for the HK4 that does not need to be used with the buffer plate. Which was a popular option since alot of people ended up losing the buffer plate. The white stock buffer was known to fail regularly not just with round count, but also over time the material deteriorated. Although HK did state that the HK4 was never designed for a steady diet of 9 kurtz (380 ACP).

I could see "unique" as a matter of personal interpretation with the USP.

It was a military grade polymer frame DA/SA pistol, but introduced when DA/SA was starting to fall out of favor as striker fire pistols started taking over (especially in US LE circles).

OTOH, it was overbuilt to where it could take the steady pounding of .40 S&W. Dual recoil spring assemblies were yet to be commonplace, and some other brands' 9mm pistol designs that were converted to be .40 S&W had issues of their own. S&W 40xx pistols had durability isssues, and even the later Glock 22/23 Gen 3 had functioning issues when used with WML. Glock blamed over-tightened lights, but some suspect that it was frame and/or recoil guide rod flex.
 
I mean since you asked… Biggest and heaviest in competition because essentially less recoil/muzzle flip or whatever you want to call it, and longer barrel to increase accuracy (and you can carry your chonk of accurate metal in a drop leg robocop holster out in the open). Small and light is comfortable for every day, everywhere, without having to gear up to some extent or change up wardrobe. I prefer to carry my p2000sk or my 365xl daily vs my USP.40 or my sigpro.40, especially in the summer, and I’m a big dude with no trouble concealing a big gun. I do like to carry the fullsize sometimes too, just because I can. The 365xl in a hybrid iwb holster is so comfortable to carry though, i forget i’m even wearing it sometimes, and there is zero risk it’ll print on my big ass. Even with a closed emitter optic on it.

I do notice at the steel plate challenge comps, everyone’s using little ruger 22’s though, for speed. ;D

sorry, this was meant as a reply to P7. I also hadn’t read the full thread and seen the moderator admonishment that we were veering off topic. Feel free to delete if i’m out of line. I’m new here :D
