Hi-Point C9

I bought this handgun at a extreme bargain basement price of $50. No, it wasn't stolen.

The person I bought it from said he bought it cheap new at $100 (dealer price?) and had only put a box of shells through it. He said he was selling it only because he had bought a lighter weight carry gun and there was nothing wrong with the gun..

I know that they are ugly as a mud fence and very heavy but I did not buy it for a carry gun or to impress anyone. It does not hurt to have several handguns in various parts of the house so this will be one of those.

I took it out to Red Brush rifle range yesterday to shoot it. I noticed that he had the rear sight all the way over to the left side. Hmm? Maybe the gun throws off that much? I wanted to start at the center so I adjusted the sight to the center. The first five shots at 15 feet were good height and off to the left. Hmm? If I had left the sights as he had them I doubt I'd been on paper. I adjusted the sight to the right a little and the next five were dead center. I shot 20 in all and they were good to go in the red dot on my target. I was impressed and happy that the gun did that. The weight helped in recoil and shot easier than my Kahr CM9.

I'm believing that the previous owner was shooting the gun left at center position of the rear sight (like I was) and adjusted it the wrong way (left) thus getting further left. He must have thought the gun was incapable of any accuracy at all and decided to dump it. His loss, my gain..
