The ProMag HIP02 delivers reliable feeding and extended capacity for Hi-Point C series pistols with its 8-round 9mm Luger configuration. This aftermarket magazine addresses the capacity limitations of factory options while maintaining the proven steel construction that serious shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard Hi-Point magazines, the HIP02 features heat-treated blued steel construction that resists corrosion and maintains dimensional stability under heavy use. The magazine body utilizes precision-formed steel walls that prevent feed lip deformation, a common failure point in polymer alternatives. ProMag's spring tension system provides consistent cartridge presentation across the full 8-round capacity, reducing the feeding issues that plague some aftermarket options.
Key Features
- 8-round capacity increases firepower over standard Hi-Point magazines
- Heat-treated blued steel construction resists wear and corrosion
- Precision-formed feed lips maintain proper cartridge alignment
- Compatible with all Hi-Point C series 9mm pistols (C9, CF380 excluded)
- Music wire spring provides consistent feeding pressure
- Removable floorplate allows for easy cleaning and maintenance
- Witness holes enable quick round count verification
Range testing demonstrates reliable cycling through various 9mm loadings, from 115-grain FMJ practice rounds to 147-grain hollow points. The steel construction handles rapid-fire strings without the heat-related expansion that affects polymer magazines. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent lockback function, while the extended capacity proves valuable for home defense applications where reload opportunities may be limited.
