C9 Features

It's sights are decent and it feels good to hold it is ugly as heck but if you need a good sturdy weapon that will work go with this.

First, I'd like to say the service on this website was great. I had not owned or fired a gun until this purchase, so in effect, there is nothing to compare the Hi-Point C9 to. I took it to a local range the weekend before last and put 158 rounds through it; 115 grain, fmj 50 rounds Lawman, 50 rounds TulaAmmo, 50 rounds Federal, and 8 rounds 135 grain hollow-point Federal. It went bang each time. At a local shop where I got a second magazine, they were kind enough to show how to clean, and cleaned it. The advice they gave was, clean it after every use to maintain functionality consistency. Overall experience is positive, and in my humble opinion, for the price, it is a great buy because it does what a gun is supposed to do. Plus, you can't beat a lifetime warranty.

Love the C-9. Have tried the more expensive guns and this one more than holds its own. Have shot hundreds of rounds and it is very accurate. Never had a problem with the mag dropping out or misfire. Feeds full metal jacket and hollow points with ease. For me, very comfortable. Not too much kickback. Ugly? Hey, I'm shooting it; not dating it. Although the price can't be beat for a quality weapon, the only thing that matters is whether it will fire when needed - - and for me it does.

Yes the HiPoint's are inexpensive and ugly. However after owning my C9 for 3 years and thousands of rounds fired, I would have to say it outperformed my other "high priced" CCW. My C9 likes brass and has jammed 2 times in all of the rounds fired through it. Keep it clean and lubed and it will work as well as just about any firearm out there.

I dont know where people keep getting their gun reviews or opinions from on the 9mm Hi-Point. Dont listen to the guy at the gun shop because he is more likely trying to sell you a more expensive gun. This side arm works fine for me, because I clean my gun after every shooting. Yes, listen to Ron, keep it VERY LUBED!! I have put about 300 rounds with no FTE, FTL, or Stove pipes. I do only use FMJ ammo, brass and laquer steel casing. ( She likes the brass!) Its heavy for a 9mm, but if its your 1st or 2nd buy you won't know the difference. I also agree the weight helps the less experienced shooters. My ex-girlfriend has one and hers jams and drops the mag, but she treats her gun like her car,she never does an oil change. LOL!

I have the .380 and the 9mm... Not the coolest looking gun but shot over 600 rounds through both of them, no problems... After first 3 rounds both guns jammed, I took both apart and cleaned them. Haven't had a problem since... YOU HAVE TO CLEAN AND LUBE THESE GUNS>>>>>> If you don't do not complain about misfires... If your lazy and don[t like to clean your gun, this is not for you...

I am the 3rd owner of the C9 that's currently in my possession. I HAD the same problems as the guy who reported stove pipes and the mag drop accidentally being actuated. The stovepipes happened when I would actuate the mag drop. The mag would drop about 1/4 inch, but not fully eject; resulting in a stovepipe. I bought a Hougue handall slip on sleeve. (The one that "fits most glocks"). The sleeve added just enough thickness near the mag release button that it miraculously fixed the accidental drops. (And not to mention; I dont feel like the weapon will slip out of my hands now. the grip is very slick w/o the sleeve added on.) Problem solved! Runs flawless now. Get one. They are fun. (and you dont feel to bad if you drop it in the mud, accidentally run it over; or what-not.) :0

Mag falls out of the gun when shooting,I have shot 350rds,the first 50rounds no jams,after the first 50 rounds,i've had stove pipes,failure to feeds & over 15 Jams,numorous amonts of live rounds jams up through the feeding ramp,I shoot 115grains so if the live round jams through the feeding ramp,the thinner round will be easier to clear,the take down sucks,you need tools,the pin that holds the gun together is currently stuck inside of the firearm,upon purchase hi point only gives you one mag cheap mag,in california these guns are $230,all I got to say is you get what you pay for.
