Lot 237:
Up Next is Hi-Point Model C9 Semi Auto Pistol, Chambered in 9MM, Comes with One Magazine. Appears in Excellent Like New Condition, More from the Internet Below: The Model C-9 is a compact, single-stack magazine, model of Hi-Points 9?19mm handgun. It consists of a polymer frame, zinc-alloy slide and bolt (with steel reinforcing inserts), and a steel breech, chamber and barrel. Its low price and small and compact design prompted many to purchase it for concealed carry. Comes with a barrel that measures approx 3.25" in length, overal length is approx 6.75", comes with one magazine. Hi-Points handguns use a blowback design similar to that used in the Walther PPK and Russian Makarov PM. In blowback weapons the mass of the slide and bolt absorbs the rearward force generated by the propulsion of the bullet. As the pressure drops to a safe level, the slide moves back (along with the bolt), an extractor hooks the empty casing and pulls it out of the chamber, after which the case is ejected from the weapon by the ejector. When the slide has completed its rearward travel, the recoil spring moves the slide forward, chambering another round. Many, if not most, modern handguns use a locked-breech design and therefore do not require the amount of slide mass that the blowback design requires in order to remain comfortable to shoot, safe to fire, and easy to control during the firing process. Hi-Points Comes with a Factory Lifetime Warranty.
