New C9, extra magazine, and box of ammo out the door for $145.97. Not bad if I do say so myself. I didn't notice until I was out of the store, but there was a $10 discount applied at the register so the C9 was only $119.99.
Initial impressions:
The handgun isn't as heavy as I thought it would be, but the weight is certainly distributed differently than it is on my other handguns, all in the top for obvious reasons. I don't think this is a bad thing. Magazines lock up solidly and eject smartly. I like the sights that came on the gun, the ghost ring is a nice touch, but it doesn't seem very useful to me. Safety is the same as on my 995, nice and easy to operate with the thumb and I like the addition of the magazine safety feature. The trigger isn't bad either, different from my other handguns, but not bad... and certainly better than the trigger on my Cz 52. Overall the C9s appearance is pleasing, nothing "cheap" looking to me.
My issues are in the grip. My hand seems a little big for the weapon and the grip is a touch slick for my tastes. Time for a grip sleeve I guess. I've also noticed that my thumb wants to rest on the magazine release with my usual shooting grip, not sure if this will be an issue under recoil when firing.
Overall, 9 out of 10.
Weather permitting I'm going to put some rounds through it tomorrow and get a range report put together.
