Picked up a C9 in Terre Haute Indiana for 160 with a case. Broke the thing down prior to firing. Lubricated it with weaponshield. 50 rounds. No ftf\fte. Ugly as sin but fills the hand nicely. Love the weight. Grips are junque to put it mildly. I will probably get one of the .40 or .45 models. Most people would be surprised at the similarities in construction when you get my vintage Nylon 66 naked along with the C9. My Nylon is almost 40 years old and has had tens of thousands of cartridges put through it but still is very accurate. If folks are worried about wearing a high point out they should consider that.
A. The travel of the slide is mere inches.
B. There is no vertical load on the slide
c. proper lubricating, with modern lubricants, can virtually negate any loss of metal due to wear.
Quite possibly the worst pistol that I ever owned was a Springfield Armory 1911A1. I would have been lucky if I could have shot my own foot with that brick. Sold it to a friend who put around 500 dollars in custom work into it. Sure it shoots good now but it did not compare, out of box, to this High Point.
The only thing that is pretty ghetto is the safety lever. They could have done a lot better on this. Perhaps an after market lever will appear.
