About the Gun

The CCP is a single-stack polymer frame pistol designed for concealed carry. It features a loaded chamber indicator, front and rear slide serrations and a unique recoil system. The CCP’s Softcoil gas-delayed blowback system uses gas pressure from the ignited cartridge by directing it through a small port in the barrel in front of the chamber to slow down and delay the rearward motion of the slide. This is accomplished by means of a piston contained inside of a cylinder located under the barrel that opposes the rearward motion of the slide until the gas pressure has declined after the bullet has left the barrel. This allows the slide to end its rearward motion, opening the breech, and ejecting the empty cartridge case.

Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol offers a compelling option for shooters seeking a concealable firearm with solid performance. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering consistent groupings at typical self-defense ranges, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. Ergonomically, the grip fits comfortably in most hands, promoting a natural point of aim with minimal adjustment needed. Reliability is another strong point, as it cycles various ammunition types without frequent malfunctions under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a complex disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced users. Availability of replacement parts can also be an issue, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is smooth with a moderate break, averaging around 5.5 pounds, which suits most shooters. Felt recoil is manageable, though slightly pronounced for a firearm in this class, requiring firm grip control during rapid fire.
