To prove we hoped that what the Hi Point C9 lacked in refinement it made up for in simplicity and reliability. When asked if the pistol would be in sellable condition after the tests, we politely responded in the negative. We were going to break the Hi Point and chronicle the punishment it took along the way. Hi Point got the point and signed up for our torture test. Then, time went by. The candles at my dinner table burned to the nub with no one showing up to enjoy the cuisine Id slaved over for hours on end. Eventually, Hi Points rep emailed me. Theyd decided against sending us a pistol. After further consideration, I am going to pass on sending you a c 9 to torture test, we have had many different writers and independents sic individuals sic do this type of thing to several calibers of the Hi point products, all have attained the same endHi Points are built like a TANK they just keep running and are nearly indestructible just view the most recient You Tube hi point attempted destruction test. If you want a Hi Point to try to destroy you will need to run one down for yourself, to be honest we are so busy shipping c 9s out I really dont want to break a case of 1. I dont think its sic fair to send you one to destroy when I have customers wanting them to enjoy. So imagine my surprise and delight when Manassas Guns and Ammo Warehouse calls and told me Your Hi Point is here. Hi Points marketing mavens had decided to send us a C9 after all. Pistol in hand, it was finally time to get down to business. I was ready for the C9 to exceed my expectations, expecting it to blow me away. At 1. 55, that wouldnt be hard to accomplish. The Hi Point C9 ships with a rear Ghost ring sight. Too bad that extra bit of plastic wasnt added to the nearly impossible to operate from a firing grip safety. Hi Point calls it the quick onoff thumb safety. Operating the switch is about as fast as a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter uphill. In January. Flicking the safety requires a good deal of effort it must be pressed firmly, like a square peg through a round hole. Worse, it can be left at any degree of onoff while youre manipulating it. Ergonomically, the Hi Point C9 fits the hand decently enough. The Hi Point rep told me the gun needs a beefy slide to compensate for both the single action blowback design and  the pistols light polymer frame. The mass of the slide keeps the breech closed until the round has exited the barrel, then the energy imparted by the fired round operates the slide and cycles the pistol. The C9s slide borders on behemoth. Somehow, the folks at Colt had figured out how to make their blowback pistol slides not so gianormous right around 1. They must have  been using technology from the future. Heres a comparison between the ergonomic and aesthetic similarities of the C9s slide and a common masons brick. Again, Im not implying that the C9 is uncomfortable to hold. I said it fits and I mean it. The discomfort starts when you fire the pistol. In the above picture, youll notice a slight overlap of the skin on my thumb and the bottom edge of the slide, just aft of the safety off indicator. In the picture below, youll see that theres a significant amount of overlap. When I fired this pistol for the first time, the action of the ZAMAK slide contacting, rubbing against, and trying to take off the skin on the top of my thumb, was a wee bit uncomfortable. Moving along, lets shoot the thing and see how it performs. Click here for my previous Range Report. Id set a standard bulls eye target at three yards. Its a fine distance for putting rounds on paper and concentrating on the function of the pistol. My sights were perfectly aligned on the bull. As I took up the trigger slack I felt a bit of side to side wiggle. Odd yet manageable. Squeeze squeeze squeeeeeeeze SQUEEEEEEZE. And while were waiting fo something to happen, please note that arthritic shooters need not apply the C9s nine pound plus trigger pull will likely break your finger before a bullet comes out the other end. Eventually, the C9 trigger breaks and round one travels down range. The sights remain on target throughout the entire epic. Lowering the pistol to low ready, I peer downrange at my work. At three yards, I have failed to put the round anywhere on the paper. Faced with the prospect of running the target home to confirm my suspicions of failureand showing blank paper to the shooters to my left and rightI take aim again and turn my concentration inward. My first thought the concussion I suffered five days previous has seriously distorted my shooting ability. Fine, lets finish this magazine and see what happens. Round two fails to hit paper with a proper sight picture. With round three, I ignored the sights and relied on muscle memory. Finally, a round lands on paper. Barely. Almost. Ok, I lied all three rounds have disappeared. Things pretty much went that way the entire night 2. Mr. Finn had a similar experience, this gun was shooting no where near point of aim. I had to confirm I wasnt crazy and shoot my carry gun to make sure I was actually able to still put rounds on target, see the target on the right its confirmed, Im not crazy. I tested the C9s accuracy again by myself, with much the same results. I broke the pistol out one final time this past weekend out at Quantico Shooting Club. I put it in the hands of Foghorn, and he let er rip. The two of us again found that rounds were way off target. Once I realized where the pistol was shooting when benched, and adjusted the sights to their limits attempting to compensate correctly adjusting them, and failing miserably, I had a little fun. Tony Hawk S Proving Ground Torrent Pc Game. At maximum adjust, the sights still do not reliably produce a near point of aim impact. Rounds will land low but just how low Not too shabby eh Except that this is again at three yards nine whole feet, and I was aiming for headshots to illustrate my point. At nine feet, I experienced shot placement over 1. Another quirk feed issues. I obtained seven different magazines for the C9. Out of that group I recorded two different types of feed errors with six of them. The first error was a simple fail to feed. Postal 2 Apocalypse Weekend Full Version more. At maximum capacity eight rounds, the magazine would feed the first round or two into the pistol, but then the follower would hang inside of the magazine and the next round would be tucked down in the magazine too deep to be fed when the slide operated forward. I solved this problem by dropping the mag, tapping it against my leg to free the bind, then reinserting it. The second failure was a feeding issue due to binding of the bullet within the magazine as it approaches the magazine lip. Below, you can see a correctly oriented round in the top magazine, and a misfeed in the magazine beneath. Notice the difference in the angle of orientation of the bullet in each magazine placed on top of each other. When the C9 attempted to strip that misfeed round off the top to bring the pistol into battery, the pistol jammed. After peering closely into the jammed action and using a flashlight and multitool to locate and assess the hangup, I determined that the case lip of the round snags on the front of the magazine itself.
