HiPoint C9 range report.

[Oh Shoot]

... I hate the fact that it simply will not reliably feed hollowpoints, no matter what brand or what I do to the magazine lips....

Well, maybe. Try squeezing them closer together, closer than you may think. You have to press the follower down out of the way to do it. If you haven't had to move the follower out of the way to adjust them, then they are probably too wide.

This thread has me feeling guilty for not shooting mine in WELL over a year. I'm taking the ol' gal out this weekend on a date to Owl Hollow. Maybe a few mags full of my reloads will know the cobwebs off.

i held a couple today at the local gun show. They are sooo ugly, but I hear such great things about them for the price.

Always $149.99 there for the C9. Usually can't even find them at a gun store, and certainly for that price.

Have a hipoint .40,I've yet to play with at the range.. had it for 2.5 years but can't beat the price regardless. A gun is a tool first. I buy on function, value(price), appearance in that order. Also why I like a sigma 40 vs a glock. Would I love to have a $4k 1911 or kimber with custom engraved ivory handles, tungsten nightsights with mother of pearl finish blah blah etc etc. Yep! Would I carry it everyday. Prolly not. Hipoint to heavy for ED..unless you 6'5 & 300lbs then by all means. But is it great for home defense yeah. I keep meaning to take mine to the range but I think I have a lil anxiety about lettin others see that I own one haha. No really I just devote all target ammo to my others.

Saying it's great to bet your life on at home without ever having shot it is quite a leap of faith, methinks.

In general it is a good home defense for the value doubles as most effective pistol whipper. Not having shot it personally I wouldn't go to it first its in lockup. But my ED is at hand with flashlight & machete close by ;-)

I have the C9 and the carbine. I love both. I have never had ANY issue with mine. Every time I take the carbine to the range EVERYONE wants to shoot it and loves it. It does shoot bullseyes at 25yds all day, and with the ATI stock it looks good.
