I am new to Hi-Point, I just purchased both the C9 and JHP and fired them today at my local range. It felt great to handle a weapon again. I haven't done so since retiring from the US Army in 2001. (medic) I got a brand new FL CCW and feel like I'm back in the game again. I was very impressed with the JHP, very small kick for a .45 cal. And the C9 fits beautifully in my Invisible Carry holster...this is gonna be fun. Thanks for the welcome; learning alot by reading this forum. Unfortunately, down at my range they sell the HP's but would rather sell you the Kimbers and Glocks. They don't bad mouth, but look disappointed when you show interest in the HP's. So what...great guns. I was ready to shell $550 for the used Glock till my boss steered me to HP...and I'm grateful.
