HK CC9 vs. Glock 26, Hellcat, and Sig P365: A Shooting Comparison

Initial Impressions and Setup

🎯 The video compares the HK CC9 against the Glock 26, Hellcat, and Sig P365 to assess their shooting feel and recoil.
🤝 The HK CC9 was borrowed from Davidson's Gallery of Guns, highlighting their lifetime replacement policy and gun giveaway.
🔊 Suppressors used in the video are from Silencer Central, and holsters are from Alabama Holster.
📚 The Sonoran Desert Institute (SDI) is also mentioned as a great distance learning school.
🔫 All firearms are loaded with Underwood 120-grain 147-grain full metal jacket ammunition for a consistent comparison, with a note about some carry ammo in one Hellcat magazine.

⚡ The HK CC9 and Glock 26 feel good when shooting, with the Glock 26 having slightly less grip.
💥 The Hellcat is liked but exhibits a bit more recoil, attributed to its lighter weight.
👍 The P365 also feels good, especially with Wilson Combat grips and Talon grips installed, and shoots very well.
🎯 When shooting again, the P365 is noted as a nice gun that will likely sell well, followed by the Hellcat (with slightly more recoil), Glock 26 (always good), and the CC9 which also feels good.

⚖️ Weights are provided for unloaded firearms with magazines: HK CC9 (20.7 oz), Glock 26 (21.5 oz), Hellcat (18.12 oz), and P365 with large grip (19.3 oz).
📊 The CC9 and Glock 26 are very similar in weight and size, with the Glock being just a tad thicker.
🤏 The Hellcat and P365 are thinner and lighter, offering very good controllability and similar capacity.
📏 The CC9 has a longer grip than the Glock 26 and can hold 12 rounds with a flush magazine, but overall size and weight differences are minimal between these two.

💡 The P365 with custom grips feels excellent and is a strong contender for carry.
🚀 For belt carry, the Glock 26 and HK CC9 are recommended due to their grip and control, especially with extended magazines.
🚶 For pocket carry, the Hellcat or P365 are suggested as ideal choices due to their thinner profile and lighter weight.
✅ The HK CC9 is considered a good choice, but its weight is comparable to the Glock 26, making it less of a "Micro 9" compared to the thinner Hellcat and P365.

💯 The reviewer likes all the firearms and finds the Glock 26 to be a consistently reliable choice.
🌟 The P365 is highlighted as feeling particularly good, potentially warranting further testing.
🗣️ The choice between firearms depends on carry method (belt vs. pocket) and personal preference regarding weight and grip.
🛠️ The video concludes with reminders to support sponsors: Talon Grips for grip enhancement and Ballistol for cleaning and lubrication.
