if you follow that path and still have a problem then it is time to call HP.HMMM. I don't know about this one.
Does the pistol fire?
Yes
Does the pistol Jam?
No
Is the pistol accurate?
Yes
Call Hi-Point for service?
Why? Unless it is just to thank them for a fine operating pistol.
your jams are more than likely due to limp wristing the pistol. grip it firmly and hold it steady and see if your jams go away. letting the gun bounce around too much can cause problems. the way you describe shooting it may exacerbate the situation.I just bought a new C9. At the range, I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at 7 yards. I normally shoot an XD9 very accurately. Given this info, using your chart, I never get to "shooting accurately" because the gun jammed both ejecting and loading. I follow the chart and skoot right past accuracy to jamming. I understand that the gun needs to be broken in more. I only fired 50 rounds through it, but 10 of the rounds hung going in or out. I hope this helps in refining the chart. As an added interesting note, after I bought the gun as new, I found my initials (coincidence!) carved into the bottom of the magazine. It leads me to believe it was previously sold and then returned. Go figure...
I do fire one handed, weak side, due to a stroke I suffered a few years ago. Any thoughts on my experiences with the gun? Thanks ^-^

If your pistol needs more "breaking in" loading the magazine for a couple of weeks. If that doesn't break the magazine in good enough try only loading 7 rounds, or so, until it in broken in. A far as accuracy is concerned, I can't speak to your experience because it seems atypical to me. Even if you do get the feeding problems worked, If you are able to shoot other pistols accurately and can't with the c-9, I would send it back and get them to figure out the problem.I just bought a new C9.

Winchester White Box is NOT the least expensive ammunition. Federal is less expensive and seems to have a better reputation for working in finicky guns. And there's a whole host of other ammunition which is on par for price with WWB. You don't have to shoot expensive ammo, but you might have to try more than one manufacturer before crying about it on the 'net.called the number for 9mm. dude told me first thing was not to shoot winchester white box. come on now really? he wanted me to shoot the most expensive bullets. NOT!
