I actually had one of these a couple years ago, sold it to a friend (some friend, huh?

) that was wanting a handgun but couldn't afford much else. I had only picked it up because it was cheap anyways.

We ran quite a few rounds threw it without a hiccup. My only complaint was that it was too heavy and too ugly. But for the money, what the heck.

I was very surprised on the weight I really need more mags for it

There is a purpose to every product in a Capitalist society...... if there were no buyers, there would be no product.

Probably the most crime traced guns in history.

I saw what looked like one at IDPA tonight...... it worked.

UPDATE: Quick update onn this gun I've owned it for several months now and put couple 100 rounds through it.It's never jammed on me yet or missfed a round on me.Accuracy seems to be very acceptable it's better then my sigma's accuracy in my opinion.

If you can put up with the eyesore it is, it is a fine gun. A buddy of mine owns one in 9 and he outshoots me and my XD every time. (though it is mostly my crappy shooting, my point is that it is a fine handgun)

I would not go that far....... functional, yes...... fine? Like a Chevette is a fine automobile.......

Qualifying the next sentence by saying I don't own either the gun or the car; remember, the Corvette was pretty much a piece of crap when they first introduced it!

JimP · « **Reply #13 on:** March 01, 2009, 11:39:45 PM »

I think I am going to get one...... just so I can say I have a cheap 9 and a spendy one.....

It's more then just functional everytime I pull the trigger it fires.and the accuracey is very good im very pleased with it.It's much better them my S&W sigma.Only complaint is the single stack mags

It's just that it's...not attractive. If it shoots well that is what really counts. I'm a big S&W fan and the ugliest gun I have is my Sigma. Which I must say is pretty accurate once you get used to the trigger.

You know, for all the people that complain about Hi Points, I rarely hear anyone say they don't go bang every time you pull the trigger. They're ugly and I don't like the way they feel in the hand, but if you need an affordable gun why not?

Exactly. I own the C9 and the 9mm carbine, and I haven't ever had a problem with either one.

Also, they have the best warranty out there. Whether you're the 1st or 4th owner, you get a no questions asked lifetime warranty, and a free magazine if you ever have to send it in.

I've been seriously considering one of the carbines (among the half dozen or so guns I REALLY need

). If you put the ATI stock on them they're a damn sexy gun, but you can only get the stock for the 9mm model. If ATI made the replacement stock for the .40 carbine I'd be really tempted.

I was going to get the ATI stock, but I've read that it just causes problems. They recently started shipping the carbines with a new, redesigned stock that I think looks a lot better than the original one. Once they start selling the new stock separately I'm going to buy one for mine.
