I actually carried the C9 for a few months. I must be one of the lucky ones its only jammed twice and they were FTF. Blazer brass ammo works best steel seems to cause them to malfunction. I actually like mine but since I toy my P11 it just sits in the safe. Plus you cant beat a unconditional lifetime warranty no mater who owns it. If you were closer you could take it to the range and see how you liked it. Got mine for $130 as a first gun.
