Good point and I agree. I can't see where the C9 is all that bulky. It may not be the ultimate concealed weapon to carry, but, what is? All I know about the C9 is that when I take it to the range it goes BANG when I pull the trigger.
I am also the proud owner of a Beretta model 92FS, in my opinion, the best 9mm pistol ever made. But, I'm still gonna hang on to my Hi Point C9 because it's accurate, reliable, and it works! What more can I say? Try one. You won't be disappointed.
