The purpose of the Hi-Point 9mm is not to make everything easy, or to impress people at the range. It's not designed to compete against Glock, or s&W, or Walther, or any other handgun company. The purpose of the Hi-Point pistol is to allow someone who is really low on money to be able to get a relatively dependable pistol for self-defense. Period.

You know, I was a gun snob who denigrated Hi-Points without ever having owned, let alone, shot one. Made fun of Hi-Point owners. Then, I watched a number of videos done by Matt Carriker of Demolition Ranch, where he attempted to destroy/blowup Hi-Points with various barrel obstructions, and even after shooting them. All Matt accomplished was to demonstrate that Hi-Points can withstand an amazing amount of abuse... deliberate abuse... and keep working. That opened my mind about them, and when I saw a Hi-Point carbine for sale at amazing price, I took the plunge. After that, I picked up the Hi-Point 10mm, and when the 2nd Gen Yeet Cannon came out, well of course I had to get that one too! The only weakness I have come across with my Hi-Points is their magazines. If you've got good mags, Hi-Points will never fail you.

When I worked at the store in Kentucky, there were a few people that would buy these because they were cheap. I tried to steer them away from them, but usually I couldn’t sway them. Some guys were “I just want something to throw in my fishing boat”. They’re very awkward feeling. The polymer feels cheap. I’d never buy one. Having said that, their carbines work well, and couldn’t keep one in the store. I’ve had people drive 100 miles to get a carbine. If they made them glock mag compatible, they’d have a pretty good setup. They’re made in Ohio mostly. I’ve heard prisoners at Mansfield prison make some of the components, but not 100% sure on that.

I saw a video a few years back where two guys were trying to destroy a Hi Point by over loading it, dropped it in the mud,let it be fired a gazillion times without cleaning it, and ultimately jammed a bolt down the muzzle, and fired it. It was indestructible til they hammered the bolt down the barrel real tight. It blew the muzzle apart like petals of a flower. STILL the rest of it survived, and with the lifetime warranty, they simply ordered a new barrel and Bada Bing back in business.

Since these guns are mostly used in robberies, the guy standing on the other end probably would be armed with something better.

I have a 9mm pistol and carbine and a .45 pistol and carbine. If one uses the weapon, cleans it and lubricates it will work fine. At our age the slide is more difficult to work than for younger people.

@pb68slab18 Ай бұрын

I thought you were gonna look down the barrel 😂! I recall a G&A or ST article on the .45cal Hi-Point. They made it sound sooo good, it almost made me think about trading in my 1960 Colt Gold Cup!

@snapshotdod Ай бұрын

With how chunky Hi-points are, I always thought they should make one where the whole top of the slide is just 1913 rail. Mount a scope, full size rifle red dot, or IR laser...whatever you need. I honestly think people would buy it just for the giggles.

@JohnPublic-dk7zd Ай бұрын

When Demolition Ranch tortured this gun to the point of putting a round into the chamber, and the gun still fired, we decided to put a carbine on the wishlist...the pistols do not interest us (I'll be honest, the 'Yeet Cannon' does, just because it has 'Yeet Cannon' in nice big letters on the slide), but there are a lot of us satisfied with the carbines...yes, the guns a big and heavy...yes, they tend to work...yes, find brand new any better at the price...it is NOT my problem when my cheap gun rings steel right beside a very expensive gun doing the same thing, umm, the bullets cannot tell the difference...

@krasskswg Ай бұрын

I worked at a gun shop and we were a dealer for Hi-Point. We were in a poorer area, and they were easily our biggest seller. The gang rats didn't like them because their friends laughed at them, but the honest working folks who couldn't afford a Glock could at least get something they could fairly reliably defend their homes with.
