Hi-Point 9mm Carbine and C9HC 9mm Handgun: Lot's of Bang for the Buck (No Pun Intended)

Last month, I decided to look at a local gun show for a new handgun. I didn't want to spend a lot. In fact, I decided to see what I could get without stooping and purchasing a Jamenez J-9, which is a very dangerous handgun. (Stay Away!) I did a little research before going and realized I had many options. I decided on the the Hi-Point C-9--cost, $149.00.

The Hi-Point C-9 comes with a plastic pistol case, trigger lock, key and siting tool, ghost site, and an eight round magazine. It's a nice package.

I passed the background check, paid my money, and took it to the range. I found the sites easy to use and quickly adjusted them to discover the gun is accurate. One of the issues one reviewer claimed is that it frequently jams during the break-in period of about 100 rounds. After that, the reviewer said he had no problems. I have fired 100 rounds, and I have never had a jam.

The best thing about Hi-Point is the lifetime warranty. Everyone who reviews the Hi-Point line of rifles and guns said they do a great job of standing behind their products. I have nothing bad to say about them. In fact, I was so impressed with my C-9 purchase that I bought the 9mm carbine a couple of weeks later.

Many people claim the rifle is ugly, but I really like it. It reminds me of my M-16 I carried at Fort Knox, but it's not as forgiving to your shoulder since there isn't a recoil spring. I too quickly sited the rifle and found it to be accurate. I showed it to a friend of mine recently, and he immediately bought the last one in the store. They are getting harder to find, so if you come across one and have $179, get it. You won't find a funner rifle for the money. What's really interesting is that I paid almost the same amount of money for my two Hi-Point 9mm guns as I paid for my Beretta U22 Neos. Although, I have no complaints with the Beretta, I have a lot more fun with my two Hi-Points.
