This was about a week ago, so I haven’t got it back yet, but I was amazed by a warranty that covers everything at no cost to the owner. After repairing, they would pay to ship it back, and also send an additional magazine, to help offset the shipping I had paid, to send it to them.
#Hi point compact 9mm review free
If the magazine was bad they would replace it free also. The Lady who answered the customer service line explained, if I had it mailed to them, them would make any repairs, and would check over all of the existing parts to make sure nothing else needed replaced, and would also check the magazine, so send it also. Knowing that Hi-Point has a great Warrenty program, I called them, and explained what I bought, and asked what it would cost to have them repair or, sell me the missing parts, so I could make repairs myself. When I received it from my FFL dealer, Most of the internal parts in the slide were gone, and a rubber band was holding the slide on the frame of the gun.
I bought a C9 at a on-line auction, along with two other C9’s, but hadn’t read the description that close, that it was being sold as for parts or for a gunsmith who may want to rebuild it. What I like about Hi-Point besides their price, they will fix it and it doesn’t matter if you bought it new or used. I have a number of pistols, Kimbers, Colts, Rugers, Rock Island Arms, SAR, to Kel-Tech and Hi-Points. Have you ever shot any of the Hi-Point models? If so, did you find them to be reliable like the C9 the author reviewed? Share your answers in the comment section. If you’re on a tight budget and are looking for a gun that’s going to go bang! when you need it to, I suggest you check out the C9 for yourself. As far as carrying goes, I think the heftiness and lower capacity would not be ideal, so I would not recommend it for that purpose. Due to the reliability (from historical reputation and the start to my own personal testing), I can see the C9 serving well for someone as a truck gun, garage gun, or the like. In all seriousness, for a $200 gun that is American-made, the Hi-Point C9 delivers. If you’ve read this far, you should probably just order a C9 and test it for yourself. I don’t think I’ll be entering any competitions with the Hi-Point C9. Again, some of my shooting could have been attributed to having a couple off days. By 21 and 30 feet, I was shooting groups near the 60-inch mark, which for me is not up to par. I had a brief burst of confidence through 15 feet, but it was short-lived. My first grouping out of the box at 10 feet was a little low and to the left, but very tight. I wish the accuracy was as impressive as the reliability, but it also could have been operator error. It could have been operator error, but the groupings were worse than expected. Once the author pushed the target to farther than 15 feet, accuracy quickly began to diminish. I even went as far as to alternate JHP and FMJ rounds in the same magazine and “dump” a few mags quickly that way… still no issues. I made sure to shoot a mixed bunch of ammo through it that included remanufactured 115-grain FMJ, Blazer Brass 124-grain FJM, and Norma 115-grain JHP. Much to my surprise, I did not experience even one failure through 250 rounds. I had heard the C9 was reliable, but I had my doubts. I was able to rack it fine with a firm grip, but I would have liked to see some more aggressive serrations.įor those of you who enjoy the finer details, here are some quick and dirty specifications.įrame: Polymer Range Report: Reliability and AccuracyĪesthetics and first impressions aside, the range is where my feelings towards the Hi-Point C9 started to change and improve. Not only is it bulky, but it’s slick and the slide serrations didn’t help much with racking the slide. I did not have a chance to break it in, so it seemed to stick and catch when flipping it on and off. The safety though, which doubles as the slide stop, was really tough to manipulate when testing.
It didn’t seem to get in the way while shooting. The mag release is textured nicely and easy to manipulate. The author has some reservation whether the paint will last long, but time will tell. The rear sights are adjustable and easy to see in daylight.
