ok, something is wrong with my c9

Man, that could be a number of things considering how many rounds you have through it now. It could be feed lips on mag, feed ramp, mag spring, build up so bad the slide isn't recoiling properly. Again it could be a number of things. With that many rounds through it, I would say it's in dire need of a full field strip and cleaning.

 

A good cleaning would be a good place to start, plus inspecting for any obvious trouble, as squeak said above.

The 10 rd mag you may want to call them and ask for a replacement if it has never fed right and still isnt

Let us know what it turns out to be

 

The reason I bought my 995 is my friend bought a c9 and I liked the quality and price, we go to the range a lot. His jammed for the first time yesterday, failed to eject.

We just swabed out the chamber and we were good to go. If you put 1000 rounds of WWB through it, its time to clean the weapon. No need to take it apart, just swab it out.

 

Agreed. 90% of the FTF issues you get with Hi-Points can be attributed to the magazine. Just send it into HP and they should be able to straighten it out. But, If there is someone else you know with a C9, see if you can borrow one of their magazines to diagnose the issue.

 

Seems like the 10 round magazine is more prone to issues than the 8 round mags. I kept getting the FTF issue yesterday evening everytime the 9th round was attempted to be fed and everytime it did a push on the mag release did the trick.
Maybe there is too much pressure from the spring inside the magazine?

 

Once you get that 10 round mag working good its nice to have those extra 2 rounds though

A lot of people load them and let them set for weeks to help break in the spring and report that it usually works fine afterwards

 

oldnoob you probably are not going to get an answer over the weekend.

Have you taken it apart to see if you can see anything wrong with it or are you going to let them take care of that?

 

You will get an e-mail, or phone call (if you left your #) Monday morning.

 

At first it seemed like a PITA to strip my C9 due to the need for a 1/8" pin punch, but, after actually doing it, its much easier than it looks. Don't be a puss, just whack that pin out, draw the slide back a little and lift.... TADA!!! you've just stripped your pistol for cleaning (and to see if your firing pin is bent)

 

I agree with Todd, it really isnt a hard pistol to strip and put back together at all

 

a 3/32 is a perfect fit

and if I remember correctly there is a step by step sticky that helps tear one down in the pistol section

 

Two thoughts,
one is if you send it in you will prolly get a free mag.
the second it that a allen wrench works fine as a punch.
