My new Hi-Point C9 came in a couple of days ago. Maybe I just like an underdog or maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment, we'll see. The first two things I did was order the lighter sear post spring from Mcarbo and removed the mag (unnecessary in my mind) lock bar. Yup, the trigger is a little gritty but doesn't have the oft reported long, sloppy pull, at least on mine. It's not snappy but it's not terrible. The gun is weighty but that's a result of the size of the slide, made that big because of the zinc alloy used to cast it plus the slide is a little hard to pull back. One guy doing a how it's made video described the slide as "inertially enhanced......"
As for the ergonomics, I have huge hands and I do mean huge and the grip fits fairly well, better than the S&Ws and Rugers I've held recently. When I come from a side position (like it would be in a holster) up to a fighting position the sights automatically line up, not bad for a cheap gun. Also my grip is low enough for me not to worry about slide bite.
Won't be able to get to the range for at least a week, maybe two then I'll see how well it shoots, if there are any fixes I have to apply or not.
This is one fugly gun but almost everyone I've talked with claims they shoot cheap to premium ammo and are very accurate. It will most likely be my truck gun.
