I was able to manipulate it with the side of my thumb while keeping a firing grip on the pistol, but I wouldn't want to have to do it under stress.

There is a frame-mounted safety on the pistol-down for Fire, up for Safe. For some reason it feels at least two pounds lighter. The single-action trigger pull measured nine pounds, but I measured it five times because I just couldn't believe it was that heavy. The grip was very comfortable, and with the weight of the slide soaking up the recoil, shooting it was a pleasant experience. I had no problems with the slide rubbing on the web of my hand during firing, but someone with large hands might. The grip of the pistol has mild finger grooves that fit my hand correctly, but I have small hands. The front and back of the frame are serrated for gripping. The frame of the C9 is high-impact polymer. Felt recoil is not bad, due in part to the 29-ounce weight. The front of the finger-groove frame is serrated to help improve gripping. The barrel is fixed to the frame, allowing for better than expected accuracy. Hi-Point also provides a rear ghost ring sight as well. The sight picture they provide is not very good, but it does allow you to aim the pistol more than well enough for use at self-defense distances. The front sight is metal and of one piece with the slide the rear is plastic and adjustable. The pistol comes with three-dot sights, yellow in the front and red in the rear. The slide is a zinc-aluminum alloy and has a black powder-coated finish. The slide is both big and heavy to absorb the recoil energies of the cartridge. That's because that it is a straight blowback design, very unusual for a 9mm. If you think the C9 has odd proportions, you're right. Let me say that again: It went bang every time I pulled the trigger during my pre-test, during filming for Personal Defense and at my later range sessions where I tested it for accuracy. As the pistol only came with one magazine, that took a while, but I had no malfunctions.
