I have now shot the CC9 a little more and it continues to impress. The group in the picture was shot at 25 yards, prone but not rested. The ammo is a match grade reload that an LE buddy of mine makes and is starting to sell. I think a sub 1.5″ group with any modern gun is quite good. Like before, this was the only group I shot with it today, so while that is not statistically significant, we are now 2 for 2. If you are interested in the ammo, it is called Method Munition and can be found by contacting JP at @lefebvremethods on Instagram or Facebook.
In addition to the very nice accuracy I have seen so far, the gun runs a 10 yard plate rack for me right at 3.1 or so. Not blazingly fast, but not bad given the challenges of shooting these micro guns. I will try to get some video of that at some point. While the CC9 is very shootable, it is not at the level of a good sub compact like the P30SK. And that is the bottom line with the stack and halfs. If you really need a thinner gun, this is the way to go. If you want to shoot it at a high level, you will need above average skills. A high probability shot with a “normal” gun becomes a lower probability shot with the micros. I have the largest backstrap on the gun that it ships with and it makes a clean trigger press easier for me.
If you don’t need a thin gun, the P30SK is the same height and length as the CC9, but much more shootable. I can conceal either equally well under any of my normal clothing, though the CC9 will conceal under t-shirts that I consider too tight for wear in public. Adults should dress better than that, so it is not an issue for me.
As a backup gun for LE, the CC9 might carry easier than the SK in some concealment locations, but it will not function as a pocket gun as far as I can determine. If you have small hands, this might fit better than a regular double stack gun. If you have normal to large hands, you will have to take extra care to break the trigger straight to the rear and not add sideways pressure with your grip. A bit of practice never hurt anyone.
