Developed over the course of 8 years to exceed NATO's stringent standard for performing in heat, mud, dirt, and dust, the HK CC9 Optics-Ready Semi-Auto Pistol is a micro-compact that shoots like a larger handgun. Painstakingly tuned kinematics and ergonomics combine to make recoil surprisingly easy to manage in a pistol this size. The 5-lb. trigger has short, clean travel and reset, with a clearly discernible wall. The grip can even be adjusted for length of pull with 2 interchangeable backstraps. Controls are fully ambidextrous for effortless control with either hand. Grip-and-rip recessed cuts are built into the sides of the frame and sides of the magazine, providing easy extraction of a stuck magazine. The optics-ready slide features front and rear cocking serrations and tritium night sights. 2 magazines and 2 backstraps.
