![]() ![]() The reset was hard to pinpoint without there being a clear indicator of any sort. With some shots it felt gritty, some it felt smooth, and the break seemed to vary every other pull. The colored sights were easy to pick up in brighter conditions, but once light conditions started to dim, it quickly became harder to acquire the target. The rear is painted orange while the front is yellow, giving it a nice contrast to quickly focus on the front sight. The Hi-Point C9 features a three-dot sight setup, with an adjustable rear sight. At such a low price point, it was a nice surprise to find the ghost-ring sight included. In the box, you’ll find an eight-round magazine, a rear ghost-ring sight, and the typical lock and reading material. It wound up seeming to help with recoil once I started shooting though. In addition to the grip, I noticed right away how top-heavy it felt, at least to me. However, the grip was actually comfortable and felt proportional given the larger slide. Thankfully, I was going to be shooting in an indoor and temperature-controlled range where I wouldn’t have to worry about my hands getting wet or sweating too much. The first thing I noticed as I grabbed the Hi-Point C9 at my FFL was how slick the grip was. That's the end of this review, thankyou for listening and don't look down on the Hi-Point name.With the magazine inserted, the author was just able to get his pinky to rest on the grip. I'm not a snob when it comes to the price and looks of a gun, long as it protects me and the people I'm with. It impressed me for the money, and I use it on open carry any day of the week. Oh I got off track alittle bit on the accuracy of the gun. ![]() TMJ Ammunition, that I hope to try out after the snow melts. I recently purchase some Speer Lawman 124gr. I was a little surprised by the accuracy of the Remington, since it was the lowest price ammo I purchased. It was really accurate inside the 6" target, staying together in about a 2" circle all eight. I finally ended with the Remington 115gr. This tells me the slower bullet is not causing as much lift on the front of the barrel. It was another good test with all 8 rds hitting inside of the 6'' target. I then reloaded with Blazer 147gr.TMJ CF at 985 fps the same as the Gold Dot. LRN (9E)at 1109fps, with 5 of the 8 hitting inside the 6" circle, with 3 outside of the circle roughly 2 to 4 inches. The Magtech was a little less accurate in the 124gr. All 8 bullets stayed in a pattern of 6 inches. The first clip was Speer LE Gold Dot 147 gr. I have my own shooting range and set up targets at 25 yards, I used 5 different 9mm handgun ammo manufacters for the tirst time out. Now I'm over the hill and just wanted something to shoot at home invader's, since I live in the country. ![]() Shot flawless all the years while hunting. After getting out of the service, I started Coon Hunting with Coon dogs & used a 9" barrel H&R 22. While in the Navy I recieved my Marksman and Sharp Shooter medals on a 1911. Well I listen to his advise and bought one for home protection and open carry. He told me it was a very tough guns for the price. I recently purchased a C-9 from Gary's Guns in Sioux Falls, South Dakota at the advice of a friend of mine in the law enforcement field. I gave up all my guns about 30 years ago, at the request of my better half. I load only 7 in each magazine, since the Hi Point magazines are somewhat "tinny" compared to the Beretta M9, Colt 1911A1, or Smith and Wesson magazines.Īll in all, a good value for someone on a budget! (Posted on 3/17/13) #High point c9 specs fullHowever, as an 26 year retired Army master sergeant, I would not load the full 8 rounds in the magazine, having seen what that does to M-16 mags. It is certainly accurate enough for ranges up to 25 yards, which is beyond most home defense situations. I have not polished the feed ramp or made any other adjustment except the magazine lips. A hassle, yes, but nothing insurmountable. (This is a VERY minor adjustment, slightly bending the upper edges of the lips out a very small amount.) I have field stripped the weapon for cleaning, and one does have to have a 1/8" punch and small hammer to do so. I have seen many "You Tube" videos on modifications to make this pistol more dependable, but the only one I've done is adjusting the "lips" on the magazines. Since then I have fired Buffalo Ammo +p JHP's thru this weapon without a single jam. Most of these rounds were PMC FMJ rounds. Since then I've put about 400 rounds thru it with only two "failure to feed" issues. I found it for sale, new in the box with two magazines at a Cheyenne, Wyoming gun for $129.95. ![]()
