Though I have no personal experience to verify it, the Hi-Point was designed specifically to NOT fire if dropped. That additional safety may even be described in the owners' manual.

Thanks fellas, feel confident now.

No problemo! Oh, and :welcome: (also from Oklahoma)!

I found this in the 9mm owners' manual (I'm sure it applies to all Hi-Point designs) describing features of the pistol:
"Passive Internal Drop Safeties -
Sear block - a spring loaded plate that falls under the sear pin when pistol is dropped on its rear.
Counter weight - a weight that counter acts sear movement when pistol is dropped on its handle."

I feel very safe with my C9 and JHP.
