I'm selling a Hi-Point C-9. It's in good shape, with under 100 rds through it--all of them fired flawlessly. I used it just for learning a little about semi-autos and some target practice.

Comes with 2 magazines, one extended and one standard, and case.

Asking $SOLD

This is actually my mother's gun so I didn't realize it's the C-9 Comp. model. Which means it comes with a compensator which is attached to the end of the barrel. There's a set screw that secures the compensator, but it has gone missing.

More information on the C-9 Comp.

The C-9 Comp is the larger version of Hi-Points 9 mm handgun, one major difference from the C-9 or C-9 Compact, is that it is "Compensated", meaning it has a specially designed "compensator" attached to the end of the barrel. The compensator works by forcing some of the hot gases, escaping behind the bullet, to go upward through specially drilled holes in the top of the compensator. The escaping gases push the end of the gun downward; helping to eliminate some of the upward motion caused by the natural recoil of the gun. The Compensator has also been machined on the underside to accept laser sights, or "tactical lights" for better target identification in a self defense, or tactical situation.

Another difference between the C-9 and C-9 Comp. is the barrel length. Its 4" barrel is 1/2" longer than its sister weapon's providing for better accuracy and balance. The compensator and extra bulk also increase the weight. Weighing in at 35 oz., it is fully 10 oz. heavier than the new model, and 6 oz. heavier than the older model of the C-9 Compact.
