[QUOTE="OKNewshawk, post: 1812885, member: 6592"] I bought a Hi Point C9 for my first handgun. I paid about $200 by the time I paid for shipping and FFL fees. In the time I had it (from 2009 to 2012) I probably spent about $600 in ammo and range time. I sold it last winter for $95 and used that as a down payment on a FN FNP-9. For the most part, the C9 was a serviceable pistol. I only had two problem with it. I could never get the feed lips right on the magazines, so I had an abnormal (some may say normal) number of FTFs/FTEs for a Hi Point. Also, after shooting about 50-70 rounds, the tip of my trigger finger would start to go numb. I probably could have overcome the magazine problem given enough time, and I would imagine I could have sent the gun back to Hi Point and had the trigger problem dealt with, but I wanted a gun with a greater capacity. I also fell in love with the two-tone FNP-9 at first sight! Do I think I wasted my money? No, I don't. If I had found out I didn't like the shooting sports, I wouldn't have worried over spending a large sum of money in the first place. As it was, I learned I like shooting and decided it was time to move up. I guess you could call the Hi Point my "gateway" gun... Of course, as always, YMMV. [/QUOTE]
