HK VP9A1 Series
Among the newest handguns from SHOT Show 2025 is the HK VP9A1 series. With the new HK VP9A1, the best pistols (and the best shooters) get even better.
The VP9’s well-deserved reputation for being a handgun that actually helps people shoot better is backed by numerous reports from law enforcement of qualifying scores improving significantly after adopting it.
All A1 upgrades to the VP9 revolve around enhancing the connection between serious users and their pistols. The improved trigger, the grip frame, and the controls. They all work better with the user in the uncompromising pursuit of performance.
In a first for the VP series, the VP9A1 series features a true compact “K” model. With a 4-inch barrel and a shorter frame, the “K” is a great concealed carry option between typical full-sized and subcompact pistols. NOTE: The optics-equipped package includes a mounted Holosun direct-mount Solar Charging Sight. $1,319.

HK MR A4 Series
New for SHOT Show 2025 is the latest update from HK-USA to the commercial variant of the legendary HK416, the MR556 A4, MR556 A4 Pistol and MR762 A4 represent an enhanced example of “no compromise” HK performance.
Its short-stroke gas piston operating system does not impart hot carbon fouling back into the action, allowing the weapon to run longer, with less maintenance and with less wear on internal components than direct-impingement ARs. Its adjustable gas regulator allows the operator to tune the action specifically for suppressed or unsuppressed operation. While fully ambidextrous controls, lighter weight, and a slimmer profile make the new A4 easier to operate, manipulate, and employ.
For those who demand an AR with unmatched capability and uncompromising reliability and durability, the MR A4s remain the top-tier solution.
A wide variety of accessories can be added to increase its functionality. As the world’s most popular rifle, the MR556 A4 is supported by an aftermarket loaded with lots of great accessories, from rails and handguards all the way up to everything you need to make your own legally registered short-barreled rifle*.

HK CC9
The innovative compact handgun making waves at SHOT Show 2025 is the HK CC9.
Concealable: Sure, the CC9 is the smallest pistol HK has ever made—comparable to other popular micros in the market. But while “small” is fine for everyday convenience, the CC9 is designed to perform big if the day comes when you are forced to fight for your life.
Shootable: The CC9 is a micro-compact that shoots like a larger pistol. 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 discernable wall. The grip can even be adjusted for length of pull with two interchangeable backstraps.
Reliable: Made to the same standards as HK’s legendary full-size duty pistols, the CC9 was torture tested to NATO AC/225 specifications. That’s because even though it’s small, it’s still an HK.
