HI-POINT 9mm COMP\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

by BeeMiller, INC.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

MODEL ‘C’ as in Third Generation<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0(why Third Generation?)<\/h3>\n

There were two distinct upgrades to the base. These upgrades came about from a few USPSA shooters who pushed the gun to it’s limits. Failures were analyzed\u00a0 and Beemiller made the changes as needed. I consider the Model ‘C’ as the Standard. I compared this to my Glock Model 17 9 mm. The two critical areas are No Jams, and less than 3 inch group at 10 yards. Hi Point passed the test.<\/p>\n

HI-POINT 9MM COMP MODEL ‘A’ <\/span> 6,500 ROUNDS <\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n

HI-POINT 9MM COMP MODEL ‘B’ 10,000 ROUNDS<\/a><\/p>\n

MODEL ‘C’<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Update – May 2009 – Still comes out shooting. It was a pleasure working with BeeMiller inc. All of my suggested tweaks were incorporated through version C.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Passed FUNCTION TEST – See Model ‘A’ report.<\/b><\/p>\n

Number of rounds fired – 1,000<\/b><\/p>\n

Changes:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

SLIDE – New channel cut for dirt. Like the Glock and others, the channel provides a place for the powder, dirt etc to congregate. Thus allowing the firearm to function when dirty.<\/p>\n

SLIDE RETAINER:\u00a0 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The slide retainer has been upgraded to provide more surface area for the areas that contact the SLIDE.<\/p>\n

It used to look like a trailer hitch ball. See Drawing Below #7<\/p>\n

\u00a0 No JAMS\u00a0 :o)<\/p>\n

AMMO used\u00a0 Speer +P 9mm HP and Winchester white box 9mm FMJ.<\/p>\n

I also shoot a Glock 17, 9 mm.\u00a0 I shot both at 30 feet to compare the results.\u00a0 Both shot a 3 inch group, standing, 2 hand hold.<\/p>\n

CONCLUSION:<\/b><\/p>\n

I am pretty hard on handguns. It really depends on how much you plan to shoot.\u00a0 Price performance in mind,\u00a0 I would go with the Hi-Point.\u00a0 Unless you plan on shooting 5 to 10 K rounds a year.<\/p>\n

The Glock has more add in options you can buy (springs, connectors, sights), but for a basic, no frills handgun the Hi-Point 9mm will do well for you. Both handguns shot 3 inch groups at 30 feet \/ 10 yards.<\/p>\n

I have owned the Hi-Point 9mm Comp since May 1999. Tom Deebs and the folks at BeeMiller INC, do stand behind their product. THEY ARE AMERICAN MADE !!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
