I bought a C9 from someone I knew a little bit. He said he took it apart to clean it. If I shake it forward and backwards it sounds like something is loose inside it. Does anyone with a C9 have the same loose sound? Thanks

[Morris83]

Yes, Mine does the same thing...Not sure but somewhere, I read it was some kind of safety feature, So if you drop the gun keeps from fireing? but don't hold me to this..

My C9 has the same rattle has since the day i opened the box.

i dont have a c9 or a newer model, i got mine from a friend 9 years afo for $70 and when i bought it he said he didnt shoot it in 4 years. he also said he shot it alot for a few years, so my gun is well over 13+ years old. has anybody seen the same style mine is?

ohh, yes mine does rattel alittle,

here it is:

[wolfman75]

my wife had one it rattled right out the box it also jammed about every third or fourth shot. not my idea of a good home protection weapon so i bought her a winchester 12 gauge pump but getting back at hand they are good pistols

I have the jcp-40 and I can actually get two rattles out of mine, both are normal. One is that if the striker is not locked back ready to fire it will rattle. The second is a small bar in the grip that acts as a trigger weight, that one doesn't go away.

wolfman: they just need to be broken in (300-400 rounds) after that they work quite nicely.

On the C9 it has a pendelum on the inside of the grip that is a safety so if you drop the gun it wont fire.(So the intructions say)

[tommy]

do you mean it rattles with the mag in the gun or out the gun??? mine rattles with the mag out the gun but with the mag in the gun it's snug as a bug.

[PONTIACDM]

It rattles both ways but it shoots good and doesn't jam at all.

The rattle you hear is the drop safety. It is normal on all HP pistols.

M44Mosin, I have one that is identical to that, it says "Stallard Arms" on it and is a JS-9.

[BloodRedStratus]

Yeah I remember when I had my Hi-Point C9 it would rattle.

[CoachSuper]

I just bought a .40 hi point.

It has a rattle. The manual mentioned a safety feature that prevents drop fires.

The rattle is normal, fire away.

DON'T Trust the drop safety, I have a c9 I bought abought 5 months ago. three weeks ago I droped it geting in to my outfit, it was cocked I'm sure of that, luckily no round in the chamber, when I picked it up the firing pin had released. Could have been a real bad day
