After taking some heat for saying I didn't like Hi Points on my podcast, I went out and shot a C9. My opinion stands- it's a cheap, junk gun. But it was an awful lot of fun, and I may pick one up just because I can. It's accurate enough, and pleasant to shoot, even if it's got lousy ergonomics for every other control. If this is all you can afford, you may find yourself spending the difference in cost for a nicer pistol in ammo anyway, as you search for a load that won't jam.
