No gimmicks.  Just a smaller VP9.  That\u2019s actually the most interesting part here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"HK VP9CC\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZjoOApPLFhw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of micro-compacts end up feeling like a compromise: shorter grip, snappier recoil, stripped-down features. HK is clearly trying to avoid that by keeping as much of the original VP9 DNA intact as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You still get the same general layout, including ambidextrous controls, the paddle mag release, and HK\u2019s typical approach to ergonomics.  And speaking of ergonomics, this is where the VP9CC does something a little different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of a one-size-fits-all grip (which is pretty common in this category), HK includes six interchangeable backstraps. That\u2019s not just for comfort.  It actually lets you <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/mossberg-jm-pro-adjustable-match-trigger\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hk-vp9cc-micro-compact\" title=\"HK Shrinks the VP9: Meet the New VP9CC Micro-Compact\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"4101\">adjust trigger<\/a> reach, which can make a noticeable difference on a smaller gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-springfield-sa-35-4-review-fast-flat-deadly\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/springfield-armory-sa-35-4-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hk-vp9cc-micro-compact\" title=\"HK Shrinks the VP9: Meet the New VP9CC Micro-Compact\">Springfield SA-35 4\u2033 Review: Fast, Flat, Deadly<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the optics side, HK is going with a deeper <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/brownells-rmr-cut-slide-for-glock-19-gen-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hk-vp9cc-micro-compact\" title=\"HK Shrinks the VP9: Meet the New VP9CC Micro-Compact\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"4099\">slide cut<\/a> and a different mounting system that allows optics to sit lower than usual, reportedly over 40% lower than standard plate setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Translation?  Better co-witness with irons and a slightly more natural <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/the-eotech-extreme-xps-3-battle-sight-g23-fts-3x-magnifier\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hk-vp9cc-micro-compact\" title=\"HK Shrinks the VP9: Meet the New VP9CC Micro-Compact\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"4098\">sight picture<\/a>.

That\u2019s expected language from HK at this point but it\u2019s also part of what buyers are paying for with this brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So where does this land?  The micro-compact market is crowded, no way around that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the VP9CC isn\u2019t trying to out-weird anything. It\u2019s basically a familiar platform, sized down, with a few thoughtful tweaks aimed at making it more <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/a-gold-thompson-anniversary-and-new-desert-eagles-kahr\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hk-vp9cc-micro-compact\" title=\"HK Shrinks the VP9: Meet the New VP9CC Micro-Compact\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"4100\">shootable<\/a> than your average \u201ctiny gun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shipments are already rolling out, with wider availability expected by the end of April and a full release around May 1.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re already a VP9 fan and want something smaller for carry, this one will probably be on your radar.
