For any of you who are familiar with "Nutnfancy" on YouTube, he did a review of the Hi-Point C9. I am enclosing a link to the video review. First and foremost, I have to say in favor of the C9, that it is AFFORDABLE and ACCURATE. If finances are an issue, this is absolutely the piece to buy. Nutnfancy gives a fair, balanced, hands-on review of this Hi-Point pistol, and it's worth taking the time to watch.
I know some folks would say, "Save up and buy something lighter, something prettier, etc..." Don't you think if people like myself, who are on a very tight budget, have considered this? I would rather be armed with this than unarmed for the several months it would take to save up for something that is no more accurate. I am not concerned with looks, and as far as weight is concerned, the extra pound is something I have become familiar with and grown accustomed to. When I fire other 9mms that are lighter, I find myself eager to get my hand around the grips of my familiar C9. So, it comes down to the question, then: WOULD I buy a different gun, providing finances were not an issue? Yes. And I have. But my C9 is still my primary. Not only that, it is also my primary CCW carry. I carry a 357 snubbie on my ankle, and it shoots like a dream, but nothing puts a smile on my face like firing my balls-on, deadly-accurate Hi-Point C9.
