I like that gun very much. Very nice-looking gun looks very well made. Good video. Nice info about the company.

Looking to get one someday, you can't beat the price under $400 and you don't have to spend another 200 to get it to be better.

Good review, I think I'm going to buy one. Sportmans has it for $249.99 until Sunday 9/15.

i just acquired one. Not the easiest to take down. Your video really helped.

Pawn Shop Pistol : In Washington State brand new it's $140

Some just buy them for target practice not self defense. I have several hi points, the 380acp handgun the c9 9mm and the 45 carbine. . I.m getting the hi point 380acp carbine soon and maybe the 45acp pistol. Thanks

Needs a higher gain shell

The High point is looking pretty good now. To answer you question at the end I think, dig deeper into what the problem is and give us another video, likely it's a problem with that little button.

Very unreliable gun in an emergency or self defense situation. 2 and 3 out of 5 more than fair. And no I would not spend more on it, it’s been fairly tested and sadly tested multiple times unreliable in self defense. Great vid as always.

Yeah. I would compare the mags and check the cutout

the problem nay NOT be with the magazines BUT the Magazine button/catch.

Good video the ammo is the problem most are not aware of !! The higher grain ammo is what that gun needs for a more reliable performance..

Idk but I think u put the spring backwards

At least it has a safety that blocks the fireing pin sear A lot of pistols have no safety at all. Jennings got a bad deal from the California Court, no gun company can garantee their product in the hands of idiots.

I think this is a piece of ... work type of a firearm...

Those Zamak zinc alloy guns are kind of fragile the same way Iron can be fragile. They were not meant to have a long-life span; they were meant to be cheap and easy to mass produce.

Believe it or not the one i had worked flawless

Thank you for this video now i understand better what the pistol was i had 20 years ago i thought it was a hipoint

Great video 98 % of my firearms were bought at my local pawn shops. My most recent purchase was a ruger lc9with laser ,ec9s, and lc9s pro all for 400 out the door.

I like rural

In Industry - Hi Point is considered to be just as good as a rock, & not as good as a pointy stick... With that said, I have heard that there have been some 'Better' ones in the past few years, and I'm happy to see some people have decent luck with one. I wouldn't own a firearm that I can't bet my life on. (Even for plinking as that might be what you have when you need something better). Know a few dealers that won't touch them.

I have had 3 of these over the years and still have my original one. 1st off these have the Smoothest recoil of any 45 I've ever shot. Now Judging by the looks of it when you have it apart i would say that that gun has barely been broken in. Now the catching during assembly and disassembly seems odd because all of mine always came apart like butter so yours may have still a bur or something that needs filed down or that normally wears down from shooting i dunno. But I have found the Easiest way to align the slide retainer is to have the dowel pin in the retainer untill you have the slide almost where it goes then pull the dowel pin out without turning the retainer then lift up and carefully slide forward and set it down in its hole then carefully pull back while holding the slide firmly and downward on the frame (emphasis on the firm hold because if it slips from your finges then have fun looking around the room for the retainer and fp spring) then reinstall the dowel pin. As far as firing malfunctions go like I said that gun looks like its barely broken in. Now i have read online that a common mod for these is to lightly file the feed ramp for more reliable feeding( im guessing maybe for federal ammo) because i never had any problems with any of mine but im also a cheap ass who buys cheap guns and cheap ammo lol

😂 somehow still looks better than modern high points

I bought one of these at a garage sale in the early 90s, thought I pulled a real coup. That was until I struggled to get it to go bang reliably once in a row most of the time! It did fire twice consecutively a time or two, but that's it. I traded it off for an FEG .380... at least that was lighter.

I REMEMBER THAT THING !

Not reliable. Get rid of it.

Good review. Not reliable. Get rid of it.

Get rid of it. Junk. Good review. Thx

Smaller? 380 is almost 10mm. 9.652mm to be more precise. So its much larger than the 9mm.

No mention of the famous Zamak alloy, nor the fact that the firing pin is the ejector…?

Don’t take the barrel off unless you must. The alloy frame will wallow out and you’ll end up with a loose barrel. Also, you made it sound like the entire chamber area is aluminum…it’s not, the alloy “shroud” around the STEEL chamber and barrel is not holding any pressure. I cannot imagine it warping unless you heat the barrel FAR beyond normal use.

$200! $130? Your pawn shop is high, like, smoking’ high! That’s a $120 gun, haggling should get you to $100. Mine was $90, as were the JC 40 and the Stallard Maverick JS 9mm. Funny thing…the old alloy frame guns have been 100% reliable. And yes…it’s an ALLOY frame, not steel. The slide is also an alloy, but it’s heavy to make it a blowback. Hi Point managed to do what many said could not be done, and made the 9, the 40, and the 45 using unlocked actions.

Watch J Dalton videos he explains fixes for hipoints.

Best video yet, by far!

Could the ammo used be the problem. The slide is pretty heavy

Another great video. Love the tie-in to Terminator 2.

Phukin yuk

My brother is in love with his HP 9mm He SWEARS by it ... I swear AT it, as when I shoot it I can't hit the broad side of a barn from 1 foot away. ;) So to each his own I say. Would "I" trust my life to a HP? Not a chance! You get what you pay for is a saying, and is mostly true I believe. I think I'll stick to my S&W Shield, and both my Glocks (used to hate those too). Having said all that you buy what you feel you can afford, and are comfortable with shooting so good luck and stay safe all my shooting friends out there. Good luck with your channel, I subbed.

My friend put a gun sleeve on,... balances the top heaviness.....

Great channel, keep growing it i enjoy the content...I personally like High Points, built like a tank with the best warranty lifetime out there.

love the high point lore

I had a buddy who used to have one of these (RIP) the rear sight broke, one half the plastic was gone. I would not bet my life on one of these, I spent about three times the cost of this firearm for a M1911A1 that runs like an old Singer Sewing Machine. I also have an Astra A100 that has never jammed and I carried her for 5 years on the PD, no thanks for the HI-Point, perhaps for a pinker but never bet your life on a gun that jams.

The difference in ammo can also be the brand. Not all ammunition is created equal. Many guns can be picky about the brand of ammo used in it. Just my 60 years of experience telling me you haven't considered all the possibilities. Did enjoy the videos even though I would never buy a highpoint .

I've bought 2 pawnshop Hi-Point models. C9 and JHP45. I found is since i don't have its history i have Hi-Point send me new firing pin springs and recoil spring. My C9 get shot a lot and it breaks the secondary firing pin spring and causes light primer strikes or no fire at all. I get new springs before i even shoot it. Because of the heavy slide these springs take a beating if used a lot

Hi Point is a great company. With these heavy blowback pistols U must use the heaviest ammo for each caliber to minimize malfunctions.

Left the range in shame lol come on Zastava, was excited to see it in range. Hope it’s easy to fix and we see a part 2 soon!:) Great vid!

What a waste converting the TT-33 platform pistol to 9mm. They should have released it in .38 super or 9x23 Win. It's made for the 7.62x25 Tokarev originally so it can handle longer cartridges, why not use the space? THat being said. There are commercially available .38 Super barrels for the original TT-33 out there. I wonder if they would fit this thing, or if they changed the design enough in some weird way that it wouldn't work.
