I have a JHP 45 and my counterweight rattles when I walk. Does anyone elses? If so how do you stop it. It will be hard hunt with it this fall if I rattle. And it makes it harder to concealed carry with rattle. Thanks Chopper

Does the counter weight rattle even with a magazine in the pistol?

C9 rattled when I walked with or without a mag in place. Unfortunately, the powers that be here don't like me posting what I did to fix it.

As broomhead said, I also can't say how to fix it, but I do know that not to long back someone posted on one of the forums how he fixed the problem and it is really easy...... guess you will just have to start scanning and reading all the forums past........ and believe me if you do you will also learn a heck of a lot of other great useful information about your type of gun and all the other great guns that Hi Point makes...... good luck...... :welcome:

what does the couterweight actually do? I love this pistol. 300 rounds with no problems.

 

[Broomhead]

The counter weight forces the gun to land on the mag-well down in the event that it is dropped. This helps to prevent the sear from accidentally being released and discharging the firearm.

BROOMHEAD. SAY WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just took my gun over to the bed, held it 4 feet over it, about the height from drawn position to the ground. and unless it was dropped mag down on purpose it NEVER turned in the air like a cat landing on it's feet. I personally don't know what the counterweight is really for, but it sure isn't what you said.... sorry to disagree...... perhaps you just worded something wrong in your answer ??????

If I have a loaded mag in mine the rattling seems to go away. I never hear a rattle when it is holstered and I am walking. However if the mag is out of the gun... it does rattle.

My counterweight ceases rattling when a mag is loaded. Perhaps you should read about it in the newspaper

 

[Broomhead]

Perhaps you should read about it in the newspaper

WTF?!?

Anyhow, I was incorrect.

Passive Internal Drop Safeties-
Sear Block- A spring loaded plate that falls under the sear pin arm when pistol is dropped on its rear.
Counter Weight- A weight that counteracts sear movement when pistol is dropped on its handle.

That is what the counter weight is for.

WTF?!?

I was wondering the same thing... I do not get it.

 

[cdbillups]

I'm guessing newspaper might be used in fixing the rattle.

 

[gabriel c.]

someone pm me this info. please.

 

[edub]

Yup, paper is used in the process. I didn't want to come right out and say it to save HPFF from any liability.

Mine rattles all the time, mag in or out.

Seem to remember a pic where the cw fell out of the mag well. It doesn't seem to be attached very well does it.
