Heckler & Koch has just launched a micro-compact version of the VP9 called the VP9CC.The Heckler & Koch VP9 family of 9mm polymer-framed pistols has a new member, the VP9CC. Made in Oberndorf, Germany, the VP9CC is a micro-compact designed for concealed carry.Based on the proven full-size VP9 pistol, the scaled-down VP9CC has most of the same features and should be just as reliable but in a more concealable package.

Other features include patented HK charging supports on the rear of the slide for easy racking, an ambidextrous slide release, an ambidextrous paddle magazine release and a Picatinny accessory rail.HK Director of Sales & Business Development Nathan Scheuth said this about the new carry…

The Pentagon on Thursday said it is seeking roughly $200 billion to sustain its war in Iran, as senior military officials acknowledge that the Islamic Republic retains “some capability” to attack American assets and allies in the Middle East. Asked about the figure during a press briefing, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said “that number could move,” before adding in a blunt aside: “It takes money to kill bad guys.”“We’re going back to Congress and our folks there to ensure that we are properly funded,” Hegseth said.He asserted that the request would help fund the ongoing mission, accelerate replenishment of weapons systems that have been expended in the fight, and rebuild depleted stockpiles to prepare for future deployments.The White House on Sunday said the United States’ military campaign against Iran — dubbed Operation Epic Fury — had cost American taxpayers $12 billion as of that day.

The United States is moving to bolster air defenses across the Middle East, notifying Congress of more than $16.5 billion in potential weapons sales aimed primarily at countering missile and drone threats. The packages include systems for the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Jordan, and range from advanced radar and air defense sensors to counter-drone technology and aircraft munitions, according to several statements released Thursday by the U.S. Department of State. The notifications come as missile and drone attacks have intensified across the Middle East during the war with Iran, putting pressure on air defense systems used to protect U.S. forces and regional allies. The State Department said the secretary of state determined that an emergency justified the immediate sale, allowing the administration to bypass the typical congressional review process under the Arms Export Control Act. Among the proposed sales is a long-range radar for the UAE that is designed to integrate with its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, or THAAD, for $4.5 billion. The UAE package also includes a $2.1 billion fixed-site system designed to counter small drones, as well as $1.22 billion in air-to-air missiles and a $644 million set of F-16 munitions and upgrades to support…
