I've had several Hi Point handguns over the years. They have proved themselves to be reliable and accurate. Currently, I have 2-9mm's and a 45. The 45, I bought used from a friend for $100. Its in pretty good shape, but the magazine release button was broken. One call to HP customer service- I had brand new parts, to repair it. And they actually sent 2. Plus, a new firing pin and firing pin springs, and a new guide rod and spring. I got the parts in just a few days- and all for free. I have dealt with almost all the gun companies over the years, and I have to say, Hi Point is just one of the best in the business ! These guns are very underated by many.
HP customer service is legendary. I recall a video on TH-cam of a guy torturing an HP to death…dragging it down the road with his car, etc. he called HP to see if they would live up to their warranty claim of lifetime warranty. He admitted to the lady over the phone that he intentionally tried to torture test the HP. She said no problem and it was fixed like new! All other firearm manufacturers should take note. HP customer service and warranty is the gold standard for the firearm industry
So here I been bundled up in my recliner now for days feeling achy and miserable all over. I get to the part where your son, having thoroughly outshot his old man says "looks like I'll be walking home tonight," and I damned near spit my coffee across the room! Thanks guys, today you made an old man happy. All next week I'll be thinking of you and smiling. I look forward to all your videos. To me you've become the Keystone Cops of the gun world. "All the best."
Ignore the hate, mixup. These snobs probably carry their non-functioning kimbers just because they're kimbers. And God help them if their Starbucks is closed on a Monday. Keep doing what you're doing, we love it! Your videos are for the everyday man, not these clowns!
I'm pretty good at ignoring the hate. I own my share of expensive firearms but I find that most viewers are interested in the more affordable pistols, rifles and shotguns, and I will continue to buy and review them. Thank you for the great comment....your feedback is very important to me 👍🤠
I own 20 different handguns from Glock to S&W to Kimber to Canik to Taurus and more in revolvers and semi autos. I bought a Hi Point .45 just to see how bad or good it is. It works flawlessly! I love this thing! It also confuses the heck out of me about the comments of people who say the Hi Point is ugly. Huh? Girls are ugly or pretty, cars are ugly or pretty...whoever bases a gun as ugly or pretty should probably be re-evaluating their life. My Hi Point works well, and it is absolutely worth it! I'm gonna get the Hi Point 40 cal. too just to piss of the gun snobs lol!!!
I bought my Hi-Point JHP 45 almost a decade ago when I found it for $119 new at my LGS. It's big, heavy & ugly, but it still has not had one malfunction.
I got my Hi-Point .45 for $99 at a pawnshop. I love this gun, super accurate and reliable. Hi-Point has a Lifetime (of the gun) warranty that is awesome.
What folks around here call a refrigerator gun. It's the kind of thing you leave on top of the fridge in case of emergency. It isn't your primary defense weapon. It doesn't have to be carry worthy, it doesn't have to look good, it just has to work.
I carried mine around in a shoulder holster for a day, just to see if the weight was a bother. After an hour or so, didn't even notice the weight. Kind of heavy to simply put on a belt....
I appreciate you reviewing many less expensive firearms on your channel. Not everyone can afford thousands for a cool race gun or a big name firearm. High-Point is American made and has a good warranty. I've shot a couple in 9mm and found them reliable and accurate at the range. Cleaning them or field stripping is a bit nightmarish, but for most folks these are a sensible alternative for home defense. Thanks again.
It's worth noting that Hi-Point says you just need to run a snake through the bore every few hundred rounds, and clean every few thousand rounds. Field stripping to clean isn't that difficult, but you wouldn't want to actually do it in the field, as you need to drive a roll pin out to do it. So it requires a punch, and a place to work where you won't lose a couple of little parts. Probably most owners (including me) clean them way more often than is necessary.
@@papmasterOST I live in Iowa and like you have traded and bought most of the guns made in America and many from abroad. I have my favorites, but it's taken me a long time and many thousands of shells to decide. Of course that doesn't mean I don't still try out new things.
I've seen videos where someone reviews a HiPoint, they complain about how bad it is constantly, and get upset because it just keeps working. You, always telling it straight up.
A few years ago I went shooting with a few buddies on their ranch in TX, they handed me a HP 45ACP as a joke while they all shot their tricked out 1911's. I had zero complaints. As a big guy with huge hands it fit me very well. The heavy weight absorbs most of the recoil. After a day of using it I actually started to prefer it.
I agree with you VB....I am also a big guy and my HP .45 also feels really good in my hand. The weight, along with the easy to see sights, the accuracy and the reliability all made for a very fun day at the range with a cheap pistol that worked. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on our video.
They're big, heavy, ugly, and single stack. They're also reliable (with proper mags), overbuilt and hard to damage, and all that weight combined with their chunky grip means they absorb a lot of recoil relative to their competition.
Excellent video as usual. I've had my Hi-Point 45 pistol for about 5 years now. For what I use it for - the price was right and no issues with reliability. Within the past year I picked up the Hi-Point 45 carbine. Magazines are interchangeable with the pistol and no problems so far.
In the shooting community, Hi-Point is usually a punch line. A few years ago someone on TH-cam did an interview with the owner, it may have been forgotten weapons. Anyway, the principles that Hi-Points are built around are admirable and outstanding. The short version is the owner wanted EVERYONE to be able to exercise their 2A rights and protect themselves and their loved ones, even they couldn't afford a sexy sig or gucci glock. His goal was to make the most affordable firearms on the market that was 100% reliable with the cheapest poorest quality ammo available, while maintaining a high standard for accuracy. So even if you make $1,000 a month, it's in a price range where you could reasonably save up for it and it won't let you down. I don't know about y'all but in this day and age, it seems those principles are fairly important, and I'd definitely say the owner hit the nail on the head concerning his goals.
@@joearledge1 Ive bought 3 Taurus Pistols. They were what I could afford and I love them. I understand the Struggle us real. I for one Applaud Hi Point for their Philosophy and Mission.
@@VonGoth that's awesome, Taurus has been cranking out some good stuff recently, especially their G2/ G3 series and tx22, fairly certain those lines have beat out some of the gucci models for some awards in the community in the past few years, and subsequently changed their reputation in the community. Don't argue with results is what I always say.
Thanks for the comment.. I was just going to look up whether the mags were interchangeable I may go with the 4595.. I was kicking around that it the 995.. mixedup98 also has good videos on the 4595 I believe
I'm sold. The bad guy fears the bullet, not what the gun looks like. This video also lays to rest all the negativity about the 'Hi-Point's' accuracy and reliability.
I could really care less what anyone says about these…best $140 I ever spent. Bought one to try .45 for the best price possible in case I just didn’t like it. Thing was absolutely hideous looking…but I didn’t buy it to put it on a pedestal and gawk at it all day. I got it for fun at the range and home protection. And it excelled at it! It was very accurate and extremely reliable. I ran everything I could through it…brass, +, cheap dirty Russian steel, etc. you name it and it was probably through it. The hi point ran it all without any complaints! At the end of the day…an assailant doesn’t care if the round came out of a $140 or a $14000 firearm…if it works and saved your life, that’s priceless
I love it that you review all of the guns out there from the lowliest of the low to the most elite. A family I knew could not afford anything but a Hi point. They bought the 40 caliber and it worked great. After a couple of years they were able to upgrade to a Glock 17, so at least they had two guns in the family, one for Mom and one for Dad.
There are lots of families, especially today, that are on a limited budget and I'm glad that some of my gun reviews can help them make an informed decision when purchasing a firearm. Thank you for the great comment NMR.
Hi Point will always get mocked, due to their price and looks. I started shooting handguns with the 380 and then the 9mm Hi Point. Both were great shooters and got me into handgun shooting for a low price. I sold them and moved up to the Ruger line but have a lot of respect for Hi Point. So much so that I now own their 9mm Carbine.
My wife surprised me with one of these for my birthday a couple years ago. It’s a ridiculous gun but I really like it. It’s so much fun to shoot. Reliable and accurate.
@@Handyginger after I got it I took it to the range and put 100 rounds of ball ammo through it straight out of the box. No problems. Since then, with the ammo situation, I’ve only gotten off about another 200 rounds, but they all went good too. Usually if there’s a reliability problem with Hi Points it’s magazine-related.
Hi-Point is amazing to me because you get exactly what you pay for: essentially a heavy nerf gun that fires real bullets. I honestly would not mind buying at least one. Part of it would be because I like the way the company does business, the other is because with the way things are going, it's better to have an extra weapon stashed away somewhere just in case you can't reach your ultra-delux limited edition FN with the extended magazine, laser-light combo, suppressor and bipod.
Good video. I've never had a problem with Hi-Point as a gun. I don't own one, but the bad reviews and trash talking I don't understand. Its still a gun, better than none and I'll always be a fan of made in the USA. A Chevy isn't a Caddy but it still does the job same as a Hi-Point. Thanks again good video.
Some of the guided bow hunt outfits issue these as sidearms for bear/predator protection to their hunters. Reliable, affordable, and damn hard to break. If I was short on cash, and didn't have lots of guns, I would make one of these my "truck/car gun. To big/ heavy for concealed carry though. Great review, thanks Mixup!
I recently bought one and the shipping plus the FFL handling fee cost more then the weapon itself! I paid a whopping $40 in a auction for it with minor use on it, while the shipping was $30 and the FFL handling was $35. I really like the nature of the weapon, and the company that stands behind their product. Honestly, people need to stop looking at their guns as fashion accessories and see them as tools. Would you rather your pretty "John Wick" super striker that cost $1,500 to sit in a evidence box, or your $100 Hi-point? Both would get the job done, but one won't have you in tears when the police slap that evidence tag on it. Remember folks, Hi-point has a life time no questions asked warranty. Even if you buy one used, you still get the life time warranty.
I don't currently own a Hi-Point but owned a C9 in the past (got double value during the riot gun rush - LOL!) and their carbines are silly popular. Our local gun shop owner says he'd never part with his carbine. I've thought of grabbing the 10mm carbine for a while. For $269 it can't be beat. Get your Yeet cannon! Yeah! Something to consider: Hi-Point has hands down the #1 customer service in the entire industry. No joke. Need a part? Call them and a real person answers the phone in seconds. Ship time was under 38 hours to my door. No charge. They really do stand behind their product. Hi-Point has a solid place in the industry, last, and they know where they're at and it's been good to them. Another fun gun to shoot is the Phoenix Arms HP22. Add that to your list of future guns to do a video on that will make you smile ear to ear.
I have never delt with Hi Point customer service but I keep hearing good things about their service. My .45 pistol is American made, reliable, accurate, inexpensive and comes with a lifetime warranty and I'm glad I bought it. I just might have to review the Phoenix HP22 if I can find one.
@@mixup98 I've owned several Phoenix HP22s. I'm currently down to 2 and sold one a few months back. I just couldn't figure out how to shoot 3 at the same time. I'd lone you mine to video with but you're probably about 3-4 hours. I'm in the San Bernardino Mountains across the Mojave. Phoenix Arms is located in ...drum roll... Ontario California.
@@LogosMediaII Yeah, with the price of gas I better pass on driving down to borrow your pistol but thanks for the offer lol. Hopefully I will find one somewhere in town in the near future. 👍😎
These guns are fine. Very simple design. Their weak point is their mags. I bought a conversion kit for the mag release that allows me to use 1911 standard mags. I have put thousands of FMJ round nose using Wilson Combat 8 rounds mags without any issues. I mounted a cheap red dot on it just for fun. It is surprisingly very accurate (fixed barrel?)
I will have to pick up one of those magazine conversion kits and do a review on it. Thanks for the suggestion and we also thank you for watching our video.
Bought 2 new 9mm hipoints for $200 flat. These are reliable. I keep them oiled and the fees ramp shined. These are good guns to lend to someone you care about.
I don’t comment much on videos but I did on your video of the C9 and of course I’m goin to on the 45. I’m a fan of Hi Point for sure, especially the 40 and 45, i normally shoot IDPA matches with my Desert Eagle 1911 in 9mm but when it warms up this spring gonna shoot one with my Hi Point 45, all my buddies will get a kick out of it and will be fun, those big fat guns just make me smile, lots of fun to shoot and Hi Point a great American company with best warranty there is in my opinion, I’m very glad you made this video, really enjoyed it! As always all the best!
I also used to shoot in competition matches and my buddies would have gotten a laugh if I showed up with a Hi-Point. Of course, they would have stopped laughing when I kicked their butts 👍😁 Have fun, be safe and kick some butt!
While the guns are very ugly i have respect for Hi-point for making affordable firearms that from what i have experinced and heard are pretty reliable. These are guns that can make a difference.
Hi-Points are ugly and chunky, but they just work and are accurate enough. They're built to be cheap and reliable and they are. If they don't work, the company takes care of their customers. They have their niche in the market.
Good shooting and excellent video guys..thanks. I think I paid $120 for my JHP45 back in 2007. I was so impressed I bought a newly released 995ts 9mm Carbine 18 months later and that impressed me so much I put my name on a waiting list for what seemed like forever awaiting the release of the 4595ts 45 acp Carbine that finally happened in 2011. I still have that 4595 and boy howdy does it still impress especially with Redball 20rd sticks...even after several 1000 rds during it's life. Everyone at the range has a laugh and a pokey joke for you and your Hi-Point's until the comparison paper comes back with your clover leaf groups and their decent groups from their $1000+ Kimber or Dan Wesson. The 4595ts is my favourite Carbine and there is nothing in the safe more fun to shoot, more accurate, or more capable at it's working distances. As for the JHP45 handgun, I actually like the shooting ergonomics and comfort of the JHP45 better than my Glock21...which I hate. Useful IS as useful DOES. HI-Point Awake from historical amnesia. Research MudFloods
My dad gave me his old 45 hi point pistol after he retired from a night security job, I've heard and seen all the bad reviews of hi point pistols but I don't see anything wrong for the price of these guns, it's big and bulky, not very comfortable in hand but I wouldn't want to be shot with one of them, I'm fairly certain it will do what it was made to do.
I am a big fan of Hi-Point i have the Hi-Point 45 pistol it's really fun to shoot plus i have no problems with them and the warranty is very good the people for Hi-Point is very nice 🙂
What about cleaning? From what I’ve seen, I don’t have a problem with Hi-Point performance, but I think the disassembly and cleaning isn’t easy. And a dirty gun might affect performance down the line. What has been your experience with cleaning and reliability? Curious.
This is the last Hi-Point I still own. Got it used with 2 mags and the oh so sexy Hi-Point branded hard case for $125. I’ve not had a problem with it. I think there’s something to sticking with larger calibers on Hi-Points due to the way they’re made. I didn’t have good luck with the C9 pistol and got rid of it.
Good video. I have the High Point in .380. Big, ugly and brutally accurate. I have routinely made chest shots on man sized silhouette targets at 60 and 65 yards. I love my .380, but I have to admit, finding a decent CC holster is not easy. Best wishes.
I own way more expensive pistols. Springfield 1911A1, M&P .40, M9 and a Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt. I grab my hi point jhp .45 more than any other pistol I own. It's my go to sidearm when elk hunting in the high timber of Wyoming. It's more accurate than anything I own due to it's blow back action. I've got countless rounds through it and I have never had a single malfunction. Can't say that about my 1911A1 or my M&P. $160 out the door when I bought it and a lifetime warranty. Don't care if I scrape it up or get it when in the mountains. Great pistol
I own a c-9 and 45 both work perfectly every time I pull the trigger with any type of ammo , both eat Russian steel , brass and aluminum with out any problem . I actually bought the c-9 used and it needed some repair parts for the mag release , one phone call to the folks in Ohio 3 days later and I had all the new parts I asked for and a few extras . The tech said it didn't matter if I was the 5th owner that Hi Point offers a no hassle no question warranty ! I carried the c-9 for my edc for about 2 years . heavy / YES , big / YES , but well worth the money especially if a Hi Point is all you can afford at the time . One thing I have found is that most folks that bash Hi Point have never owned one or even shot one but rather just hate from what others have told them ! like any firearm a Hi Point must be kept clean and lubed in order to function properly and about a 200 round break in period . enjoyed the vid !
This channel finally made me realize If I lived in a place like New Mexico I'd probably never pay to go to a gun range again. Just throw some steel targets in the back of the pickup and drive 5 minutes in any direction away from town
I'm really surprised by how well these ugly guns work . What I like most is the price ! I think it'd be a great "knock around" gun , one you can put it in the glove box and not worry about if it gets dinged up . Hey , if a gun is reliable , decently accurate , and most of all inexpensive then I think it's worth having . Yeah , why not , I think I'll pick one up . Heck , I spend more on Dunkin' donoughts in a week . Thanks for the video , and btw , both you & your son are terrific shots .
Ugly guns are often practical and just plain work. I kind of like the chunky utilitarian look of these guns. The barrel assembly is actually built like a tank out of a good grade of steel. The chunky slide comes out of necessity because of the non-locking but simple blowback design .
I had a High Point JHP 45 pistol before & it was accurate & never failed. Now shooting a 1911, but accumulated some steel case, +P, & hollow point ammo that’s not really suitable. So I bought another High Point JHP 45 just so I could use the ammo. It eats anything.
I love Hi-Point Firearms. The people that work for them are so friendly and helpful. They have a Lifetime Warranty, and they get the job done. What more do you want?
Excellent review as usual. Years ago, I picked up the carbine and the pistol in .45 years ago..got both for under $400. They have been 100% reliable with FMJ ammo. Fun range guns and I would trust either for home defense or as a truck gun.
The only looks that really matter is a good sight picture and looks like HiPoint has that covered! :D They have some newer design models out now that are a little better on the appearance! I think this would be a good candidate for a custom camo paint job and maybe some grip texture. I like it! Yall have a great weekend and Thanks for the great content as always!
Now I subscribed for the firearms just as ive so many in my library. The actual reason I return time and time again and refuse to miss a single video is no longer for the guns as much as its to see something so much more obvious at hand, thats a father who'll do whatever to hold onto every last precious second of his whole reason to wake up in the morning, his son! You sir are an inspiration to what a father should be! Anyone who cant see what im saying is clearly not watching!!
I love spending time with my son and when we aren't making a shooting video we are probably out on Lake Mead with our kayaks or perhaps exploring an old mine. Unfortunately I never got to know my father, which is probably why I spend so much time with my son. Your comment brought a smile to my face and I thank you for that.
@@mixup98 That's very similar to my own story as well. Never met my father never regretted a single day of my life its been blessed from my first breath and no that doesnt mean silver spoons for those who may read this outside of the two of us. In fact my mom and grandmother were strong working class women starting with my grandmother coming from Spain to Elis Island in 1914 at the age of 3. Being amazingly unaccompanied other than her twin who died during the trip. She went to an orphanage where she was adopted by an Italian family. She later became a single mother a big no no back in those days. My never quit, never say die core belief all stem from my grandma & mom. I never cared after to even meet the man whos DNA helped create me especially after learning he denied my existence. I am 100% my Grandmother/Mother. My kids are my reason, my reason for every achievement as well as the failures from all the trying along the way. With every failed attempt we learn what works and what does not, instead of this unbecoming antiAmerican blame bs they use today. God created all, God sets us all out on a path and our tool is free will. No one is to blame for a damn thing. Its our minds our free will that told us to turn left over the cliff instead of Turing right to the parking lot. "I didnt have a father that why I Lie, Cheat & Steal!" is the excuse of the lost and the weak. I raised my children as I was. Its easy to see that you did the same and that I felt should be recognized. Dads are supposed to be hero's to their children. God bless you for being just that. Not to throw religion in as I know it may "offend" some, however freedom to speak my mind is our God given right just as it is to oppose what it is I'm saying. I didnt mean to rant on and on but your reply was, lets just say not a surprise to me whatsoever, I find more and more like us lived in very similar households in one way or the other. Happy Sunday to you and yours and God bless you all.
@@The1TheyCall2-Tone Wow, what an amazing story. You are obviously very proud of your mother and grandmother. My mother raised four kids, mostly on her own, and she taught us right from wrong, which I have passed on to my children. You are certainly right when you say that dads are supposed to be hero's to their children. I just wish we could witness more of that today. Thank you for the taking the time to tell your story and God bless.
@@mixup98 I as well wish we were witnessing more from fathers and sadly mothers alike. In this day and age the word "Proud" does not exist. And yes I am so very proud of both my mom and grandmother, both have since passed. I have no regrets in my life, even of that which I should however without I would not be right where I am at this very moment even having this conversation in which I must say I am very grateful to have with you. Yet another who has given me hope that all is not yet lost. Our children will pass along this very thing and so on and so forth this simple basic quality will continue long after this life. Sad is the day the children of this country lose sight of all who gave their lives for what they so eagerly take for granted. Sad is the day that has long since past. Fear for all those in a foreign land who hate America meanwhile they couldn't shake a stick at the sheer distain our own youth has for the single greatest place on earth to be born to, America. Running around destroying their own neighbors property with no more care or concern for all they have done and continue to do in the name of whatever crisis they started to learn in kindergarten. Raised an army of our own to stand against father, mother sister and brother. Blind are the sheep who follow the fool to the edge of the land above the pit of fire. Pregnancy is some parasite in their eyes. My argument is quite simple, those with conscience will always follow what lives inside of them. Those without never had it to begin with. They are no more a neighbor than they are a foreigner invading for personal gain and the satisfaction they take from it
Man you cant beat that price, i could use a .45 for home security, i have a .357 wheel gun but would like to have 10 rounds ready to go, i dont think i would walk around with it LOL
I looked at pictures of a '49 Mercury and you're right, the pistol does look like a combination of a Russian sub and a Mercury 😁 I would love to get together someday with you Hank and go shooting.
Here I go again Mr. Number One High Point Fan. Wonderful pistol for the money. The larger the caliber the more reliable I've found. Love your videos. I was just talking to a guy last night about your latest Ruger .380 review. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Every time you say Son I think of old Charlie Chan movies with Son number one, or Michael Parks and his son in a couple of the Tarantino movies! Thanks again that gun looks great to me especially for the price!
I have liked Michael Parks since I first saw him in the TV series Then Came Bronson back in the 1969. Thanks for the great comment and we thank you again for watching our videos.
The Hi-Point really brings out the feminine side in men. You never hear them talking about how pretty or ugly a gun is until the Hi-Point comes out, 😂.
I have had one of these bricks for years - even tried carrying it concealed in a Galco holster. Once ;) I later picked up the carbine too, no regrets with either. I remember when cheap gun meant Raven, Jennings, or Bryco - Hi Point is quite an improvement over that garbage.
My best friends wife carries a .380 hi point in her purse. As a late night nurse she feels the need to C&C. My best friend C&C a Ruger security 9. He;s pretty darn good with it, but claims his wife is one hell of a shooter with that hi point. He told her that it's to heavy and offered to buy her something better, but she said. NOPE..I prefer my Hi Point. hahaha...It might be heavy but it sure dependable. And I totally agree with mixup. It sure is an ugly gun. hahaha..Peace..
You can convert the .40 hi-points to 10mm, you need a gunsmith to ream out a .40 barrel to a 10mm chamber and then play around with the recoil springs. Iraqveteran8888 has an old video on one they did.
Ok I have multiple Glocks and a Ruger Alaskan that I absolutely adore but the more I look at this ugly thing the more I feel I need to add it to the collection.
@@marty64thornton niceee. Yeah I went to the gun shop the other day, looked at the hi point, I just couldn’t do it, ended up buying another Glock lol. I do respect and admire hi points tho.
Yall did some excellent shooting. I have a highpoint and it's works flawlessly. I never understood why ppl bash these guns so bad. I also have a glock 23 and cannot tell any difference in the pistols except for the glock looks like eye candy to me 🤣🤣. But I wouldn't hesitate at all putting my highpoint in any defensive situation. Great Video!!!
It's the blow-back action too. Two of my most accurate guns are blow-back with fixed barrels. One is my .380 Jimenez T-380 and the other is my Hi-point Model C in 9mm. It's the predecessor to the Model C9. ^_^
Been thinking about getting one of these. I've got the C9 it's been reliable and shoots good. I think all the bad stories come from people that's never shot one. Good video.
I've had several Hi Point handguns over the years. They have proved themselves to be reliable and accurate. Currently, I have 2-9mm's and a 45. The 45, I bought used from a friend for $100. Its in pretty good shape, but the magazine release button was broken. One call to HP customer service- I had brand new parts, to repair it. And they actually sent 2. Plus, a new firing pin and firing pin springs, and a new guide rod and spring. I got the parts in just a few days- and all for free. I have dealt with almost all the gun companies over the years, and I have to say, Hi Point is just one of the best in the business ! These guns are very underated by many.
pay attention!, competitors. 🥰🙀🤔
HP customer service is legendary. I recall a video on TH-cam of a guy torturing an HP to death…dragging it down the road with his car, etc. he called HP to see if they would live up to their warranty claim of lifetime warranty. He admitted to the lady over the phone that he intentionally tried to torture test the HP. She said no problem and it was fixed like new! All other firearm manufacturers should take note. HP customer service and warranty is the gold standard for the firearm industry
Did you have to provide the serial number?
I just found out they make a assault rifle or a SBR. It's 400$ I'm getting it Monday.
@@BadNewz52 I'm sure you do so they can match the parts to that model because it may have variations to consider.
Have this exact pistol and carbine 45. Both excellent! Never has failed me once!
So here I been bundled up in my recliner now for days feeling achy and miserable all over. I get to the part where your son, having thoroughly outshot his old man says "looks like I'll be walking home tonight," and I damned near spit my coffee across the room!
Thanks guys, today you made an old man happy. All next week I'll be thinking of you and smiling.

Girls are ugly or pretty, cars are ugly or pretty...whoever bases a gun as ugly or pretty should probably be re-evaluating their life. My Hi Point works well, and it is absolutely worth it! I'm gonna get the Hi Point 40 cal. too just to piss of the gun snobs lol!!!
if hi-point is ugly, why do people call the 1911 "ol slabsides?" doesn't sound pretty to me.
Sure she's top heavy, so's my old lady. I love em both!
Lmao!! Too good!
Got one of those too, classic 😄 👍
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😭😭😭☠️
I bought my Hi-Point JHP 45 almost a decade ago when I found it for $119 new at my LGS. It's big, heavy & ugly, but it still has not had one malfunction.
I got my Hi-Point .45 for $99 at a pawnshop. I love this gun, super accurate and reliable. Hi-Point has a Lifetime (of the gun) warranty that is awesome.
True. Doesn’t matter if you bought it new or not-- fully covered. No part on that pistol isn’t under warranty at any time.
What folks around here call a refrigerator gun. It's the kind of thing you leave on top of the fridge in case of emergency. It isn't your primary defense weapon. It doesn't have to be carry worthy, it doesn't have to look good, it just has to work.
I agree 100% 👍
I carried mine around in a shoulder holster for a day, just to see if the weight was a bother. After an hour or so, didn't even notice the weight. Kind of heavy to simply put on a belt....
I agree, don't overshoot it. keep it just in case....
I appreciate you reviewing many less expensive firearms on your channel. Not everyone can afford thousands for a cool race gun or a big name firearm. High-Point is American made and has a good warranty. I've shot a couple in 9mm and found them reliable and accurate at the range. Cleaning them or field stripping is a bit nightmarish, but for most folks these are a sensible alternative for home defense. Thanks again.
It's worth noting that Hi-Point says you just need to run a snake through the bore every few hundred rounds, and clean every few thousand rounds. Field stripping to clean isn't that difficult, but you wouldn't want to actually do it in the field, as you need to drive a roll pin out to do it. So it requires a punch, and a place to work where you won't lose a couple of little parts. Probably most owners (including me) clean them way more often than is necessary.
In Arizona,we do alot of trades here,so we own just about everything one time or another 💯 what state you reside?
@@papmasterOST I live in Iowa and like you have traded and bought most of the guns made in America and many from abroad. I have my favorites, but it's taken me a long time and many thousands of shells to decide. Of course that doesn't mean I don't still try out new things.
Plus not everyone is into multiple guns and calibers.. if you want a reliable home defense pistol this is a great choice I think..
I've seen videos where someone reviews a HiPoint, they complain about how bad it is constantly, and get upset because it just keeps working. You, always telling it straight up.
Thank you for the nice compliment DAVE and we hope you have a great weekend.
A few years ago I went shooting with a few buddies on their ranch in TX, they handed me a HP 45ACP as a joke while they all shot their tricked out 1911's. I had zero complaints. As a big guy with huge hands it fit me very well. The heavy weight absorbs most of the recoil. After a day of using it I actually started to prefer it.
I agree with you VB....I am also a big guy and my HP .45 also feels really good in my hand. The weight, along with the easy to see sights, the accuracy and the reliability all made for a very fun day at the range with a cheap pistol that worked. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on our video.
They're big, heavy, ugly, and single stack. They're also reliable (with proper mags), overbuilt and hard to damage, and all that weight combined with their chunky grip means they absorb a lot of recoil relative to their competition.
Excellent video as usual. I've had my Hi-Point 45 pistol for about 5 years now. For what I use it for - the price was right and no issues with reliability. Within the past year I picked up the Hi-Point 45 carbine. Magazines are interchangeable with the pistol and no problems so far.
Same story for me.
In the shooting community, Hi-Point is usually a punch line. A few years ago someone on TH-cam did an interview with the owner, it may have been forgotten weapons. Anyway, the principles that Hi-Points are built around are admirable and outstanding. The short version is the owner wanted EVERYONE to be able to exercise their 2A rights and protect themselves and their loved ones, even they couldn't afford a sexy sig or gucci glock. His goal was to make the most affordable firearms on the market that was 100% reliable with the cheapest poorest quality ammo available, while maintaining a high standard for accuracy. So even if you make $1,000 a month, it's in a price range where you could reasonably save up for it and it won't let you down. I don't know about y'all but in this day and age, it seems those principles are fairly important, and I'd definitely say the owner hit the nail on the head concerning his goals.
@@joearledge1 Ive bought 3 Taurus Pistols. They were what I could afford and I love them. I understand the Struggle us real. I for one Applaud Hi Point for their Philosophy and Mission.
@@VonGoth that's awesome, Taurus has been cranking out some good stuff recently, especially their G2/ G3 series and tx22, fairly certain those lines have beat out some of the gucci models for some awards in the community in the past few years, and subsequently changed their reputation in the community. Don't argue with results is what I always say.
Thanks for the comment.. I was just going to look up whether the mags were interchangeable I may go with the 4595.. I was kicking around that it the 995.. mixedup98 also has good videos on the 4595 I believe
“Hey you can’t shoot me with a cheap ugly gun!”
Said no home invaders ever!
Exactly
I'm sold. The bad guy fears the bullet, not what the gun looks like. This video also lays to rest all the negativity about the 'Hi-Point's' accuracy and reliability.
I've owned the 9mm and 45 and they both fired and functioned well. Great truck gun and if you lose it you won't shed a tear.
My thoughts exactly!
I could really care less what anyone says about these…best $140 I ever spent. Bought one to try .45 for the best price possible in case I just didn’t like it. Thing was absolutely hideous looking…but I didn’t buy it to put it on a pedestal and gawk at it all day. I got it for fun at the range and home protection. And it excelled at it! It was very accurate and extremely reliable. I ran everything I could through it…brass, +, cheap dirty Russian steel, etc. you name it and it was probably through it. The hi point ran it all without any complaints! At the end of the day…an assailant doesn’t care if the round came out of a $140 or a $14000 firearm…if it works and saved your life, that’s priceless
Older guy outscored everyone in my ccp class shooting qualification with one of these
I shot a C9 Hi Point for my CCW class years ago. My senior citizen teacher could not believe the groups I was making.
Awesome! 👍😎
Hi-Point is like the girl you leave the bar with at 3AM, ugly, cheap, and guaranteed to get the job done.
I love it that you review all of the guns out there from the lowliest of the low to the most elite. A family I knew could not afford anything but a Hi point. They bought the 40 caliber and it worked great. After a couple of years they were able to upgrade to a Glock 17, so at least they had two guns in the family, one for Mom and one for Dad.
There are lots of families, especially today, that are on a limited budget and I'm glad that some of my gun reviews can help them make an informed decision when purchasing a firearm. Thank you for the great comment NMR.
@@mixup98 mah plezure.
I have two of these I keep in drawers around the house, they are my home defense plan.
@Marco Dunn......its my Home Defense gun Also!😀
glad to see you give a respectful review and not put the gun in mud or any of the usual stupid shit some reviewers do
Hi Point will always get mocked, due to their price and looks.
I started shooting handguns with the 380 and then the 9mm Hi Point.
Both were great shooters and got me into handgun shooting for a low price.
I sold them and moved up to the Ruger line but have a lot of respect
for Hi Point.
So much so that I now own their 9mm Carbine.
My wife surprised me with one of these for my birthday a couple years ago. It’s a ridiculous gun but I really like it. It’s so much fun to shoot. Reliable and accurate.
I’m thinking about getting one for my tackle box. Do you need to break it in or is it pretty solid out of the box?
@@Handyginger after I got it I took it to the range and put 100 rounds of ball ammo through it straight out of the box. No problems. Since then, with the ammo situation, I’ve only gotten off about another 200 rounds, but they all went good too.
Usually if there’s a reliability problem with Hi Points it’s magazine-related.
@@timsharkey1993 thank you! I’ll check one out!
@@Handyginger you’re welcome! Hope you enjoy it.
I love my Hi-point 45 handgun, I have had it for almost 11 years with no issues.
I have one of these just for home protection. I’m not some avid shooter or gun snob or anything. Not bad for $175.
I love your comment Logical Dude....well said, and thank you.
I’m thinking about doing the same and throwing it in a mck
Hi-Point is amazing to me because you get exactly what you pay for: essentially a heavy nerf gun that fires real bullets. I honestly would not mind buying at least one. Part of it would be because I like the way the company does business, the other is because with the way things are going, it's better to have an extra weapon stashed away somewhere just in case you can't reach your ultra-delux limited edition FN with the extended magazine, laser-light combo, suppressor and bipod.
Good video. I've never had a problem with Hi-Point as a gun. I don't own one, but the bad reviews and trash talking I don't understand. Its still a gun, better than none and I'll always be a fan of made in the
USA. A Chevy isn't a Caddy but it still does the job same as a Hi-Point. Thanks again
good video.
Excellent! I feel the same way. I'm sure some of the trash talkers have never held nor fired a Hi-Point pistol.
Some of the guided bow hunt outfits issue these as sidearms for bear/predator protection to their hunters. Reliable, affordable, and damn hard to break. If I was short on cash, and didn't have lots of guns, I would make one of these my "truck/car gun. To big/ heavy for concealed carry though. Great review, thanks Mixup!
I recently bought one and the shipping plus the FFL handling fee cost more then the weapon itself! I paid a whopping $40 in a auction for it with minor use on it, while the shipping was $30 and the FFL handling was $35. I really like the nature of the weapon, and the company that stands behind their product. Honestly, people need to stop looking at their guns as fashion accessories and see them as tools. Would you rather your pretty "John Wick" super striker that cost $1,500 to sit in a evidence box, or your $100 Hi-point? Both would get the job done, but one won't have you in tears when the police slap that evidence tag on it. Remember folks, Hi-point has a life time no questions asked warranty. Even if you buy one used, you still get the life time warranty.
2:04 say hi say son, “hey guys”
That’s was a nice wholesome moment
Made in the USA and excellent warranty + customer service. Cheap and dirty fun!
Sounds like an American escort! 😆 🤠👍🏼
Great video as usual. Looked like you guys were having fun with the HP . Reason enough for me to buy one. Thanks for the great content. 👍
Big ugly and heavy. But a great shooter. I like my Hi Points. I have the 45. 9mm. And the 995. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I don't currently own a Hi-Point but owned a C9 in the past (got double value during the riot gun rush - LOL!) and their carbines are silly popular. Our local gun shop owner says he'd never part with his carbine. I've thought of grabbing the 10mm carbine for a while. For $269 it can't be beat. Get your Yeet cannon! Yeah!
Something to consider: Hi-Point has hands down the #1 customer service in the entire industry. No joke. Need a part? Call them and a real person answers the phone in seconds. Ship time was under 38 hours to my door. No charge. They really do stand behind their product.
Hi-Point has a solid place in the industry, last, and they know where they're at and it's been good to them.
Another fun gun to shoot is the Phoenix Arms HP22. Add that to your list of future guns to do a video on that will make you smile ear to ear.
I have never delt with Hi Point customer service but I keep hearing good things about their service. My .45 pistol is American made, reliable, accurate, inexpensive and comes with a lifetime warranty and I'm glad I bought it. I just might have to review the Phoenix HP22 if I can find one.
@@mixup98 I've owned several Phoenix HP22s. I'm currently down to 2 and sold one a few months back. I just couldn't figure out how to shoot 3 at the same time. I'd lone you mine to video with but you're probably about 3-4 hours. I'm in the San Bernardino Mountains across the Mojave. Phoenix Arms is located in ...drum roll... Ontario California.
@@LogosMediaII Yeah, with the price of gas I better pass on driving down to borrow your pistol but thanks for the offer lol. Hopefully I will find one somewhere in town in the near future. 👍😎
I have a HI Point. 40 cal. I bought 10 years ago. It is very accurate and it's never failed to shoot.
Must have never shot it
These guns are fine. Very simple design. Their weak point is their mags. I bought a conversion kit for the mag release that allows me to use 1911 standard mags. I have put thousands of FMJ round nose using Wilson Combat 8 rounds mags without any issues. I mounted a cheap red dot on it just for fun. It is surprisingly very accurate (fixed barrel?)
I will have to pick up one of those magazine conversion kits and do a review on it. Thanks for the suggestion and we also thank you for watching our video.
If you run out of ammo you could use it as a club.
Well, my local shop had one in digital camo and because of your review, I broke down and got one.
Awesome! Please let us know what you think after shooting your new Hi Point.
When you have the 45 carbine you have to have the pistol to go with it, mags are the same between the two. Run it wet
Bought 2 new 9mm hipoints for $200 flat. These are reliable. I keep them oiled and the fees ramp shined. These are good guns to lend to someone you care about.
What's the old saying "Ugly is in the eye of the beholder."
For several reasons this is a beautiful gun.
Well said....thank you.
I don’t comment much on videos but I did on your video of the C9 and of course I’m goin to on the 45. I’m a fan of Hi Point for sure, especially the 40 and 45, i normally shoot IDPA matches with my Desert Eagle 1911 in 9mm but when it warms up this spring gonna shoot one with my Hi Point 45, all my buddies will get a kick out of it and will be fun, those big fat guns just make me smile, lots of fun to shoot and Hi Point a great American company with best warranty there is in my opinion, I’m very glad you made this video, really enjoyed it! As always all the best!
I also used to shoot in competition matches and my buddies would have gotten a laugh if I showed up with a Hi-Point. Of course, they would have stopped laughing when I kicked their butts 👍😁 Have fun, be safe and kick some butt!
@@mixup98 There's a TH-cam video of a guy shooting Grand Master on the steel challenge with a Hi-Point carbine.
Fun gun, affordable. And it seems to be reliable. And it is not ugly. :o)
While the guns are very ugly i have respect for Hi-point for making affordable firearms that from what i have experinced and heard are pretty reliable. These are guns that can make a difference.
I totally agree!!
I had a girlfriend like that once...she was big n' ugly, but a good performer. :-)
Hi-Points are ugly and chunky, but they just work and are accurate enough. They're built to be cheap and reliable and they are. If they don't work, the company takes care of their customers. They have their niche in the market.
With a lifetime warranty, Hi-Point ROCKS!!!
Good shooting and excellent video guys..thanks.
I think I paid $120 for my JHP45 back in 2007.
I was so impressed I bought a newly released 995ts 9mm Carbine 18 months later and that impressed me so much I put my name on a waiting list for what seemed like forever awaiting the release of the 4595ts 45 acp Carbine that finally happened in 2011.
I still have that 4595 and boy howdy does it still impress especially with Redball 20rd sticks...even after several 1000 rds during it's life.
Everyone at the range has a laugh and a pokey joke for you and your Hi-Point's until the comparison paper comes back with your clover leaf groups and their decent groups from their $1000+ Kimber or Dan Wesson.
The 4595ts is my favourite Carbine and there is nothing in the safe more fun to shoot, more accurate, or more capable at it's working distances.
As for the JHP45 handgun, I actually like the shooting ergonomics and comfort of the JHP45 better than my Glock21...which I hate.
Useful IS as useful DOES.
HI-Point
Awake from historical amnesia.
Research MudFloods
My dad gave me his old 45 hi point pistol after he retired from a night security job, I've heard and seen all the bad reviews of hi point pistols but I don't see anything wrong for the price of these guns, it's big and bulky, not very comfortable in hand but I wouldn't want to be shot with one of them, I'm fairly certain it will do what it was made to do.
👍🤠
I am a big fan of Hi-Point i have the Hi-Point 45 pistol it's really fun to shoot plus i have no problems with them and the warranty is very good the people for Hi-Point is very nice 🙂
What about cleaning?
From what I’ve seen, I don’t have a problem with Hi-Point performance, but I think the disassembly and cleaning isn’t easy. And a dirty gun might affect performance down the line. What has been your experience with cleaning and reliability? Curious.
Factor support excellent. I like my .45 pistol.
I have the same .45ACP, and it is deadly accurate! It can handle the .45ACP+P.
oh thats what i was wondering,
This is the last Hi-Point I still own. Got it used with 2 mags and the oh so sexy Hi-Point branded hard case for $125. I’ve not had a problem with it. I think there’s something to sticking with larger calibers on Hi-Points due to the way they’re made. I didn’t have good luck with the C9 pistol and got rid of it.
Good video. I have the High Point in .380. Big, ugly and brutally accurate. I have routinely made chest shots on man sized silhouette targets at 60 and 65 yards. I love my .380, but I have to admit, finding a decent CC holster is not easy. Best wishes.
Maybe someday I will pick up a Hi-Point .380 and do a review on it. Thanks for the great comment Walt and best wishes to you.
I own way more expensive pistols. Springfield 1911A1, M&P .40, M9 and a Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt. I grab my hi point jhp .45 more than any other pistol I own. It's my go to sidearm when elk hunting in the high timber of Wyoming. It's more accurate than anything I own due to it's blow back action. I've got countless rounds through it and I have never had a single malfunction. Can't say that about my 1911A1 or my M&P. $160 out the door when I bought it and a lifetime warranty. Don't care if I scrape it up or get it when in the mountains. Great pistol
👍😎
I own a c-9 and 45 both work perfectly every time I pull the trigger with any type of ammo , both eat Russian steel , brass and aluminum with out any problem . I actually bought the c-9 used and it needed some repair parts for the mag release , one phone call to the folks in Ohio 3 days later and I had all the new parts I asked for and a few extras . The tech said it didn't matter if I was the 5th owner that Hi Point offers a no hassle no question warranty ! I carried the c-9 for my edc for about 2 years . heavy / YES , big / YES , but well worth the money especially if a Hi Point is all you can afford at the time . One thing I have found is that most folks that bash Hi Point have never owned one or even shot one but rather just hate from what others have told them ! like any firearm a Hi Point must be kept clean and lubed in order to function properly and about a 200 round break in period . enjoyed the vid !
Hello Daryl. I absolutely agree with everything that you said and we thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on our video.
This channel finally made me realize If I lived in a place like New Mexico I'd probably never pay to go to a gun range again. Just throw some steel targets in the back of the pickup and drive 5 minutes in any direction away from town
@James 18 an hour? Here in Dallas it's 20 for all day for the ranges I've been to. Reasonable, but nothing beats outside for free
Hi-Points aren't for me, but I'm glad they exist for people that wouldn't own a firearm otherwise.
Well said
You two are impressively accurate w these at a longer range. Great stuff as always. Never stop the intro it's my fav
We promise to never stop the intro to our videos, Rusty.
@@mixup98 dude nice 👌
It’s a war hammer after you run out of ammo!
🤣🤣
I'm really surprised by how well these ugly guns work . What I like most is the price ! I think it'd be a great "knock around" gun , one you can put it in the glove box and not worry about if it gets dinged up . Hey , if a gun is reliable , decently accurate , and most of all inexpensive then I think it's worth having . Yeah , why not , I think I'll pick one up . Heck , I spend more on Dunkin' donoughts in a week . Thanks for the video , and btw , both you & your son are terrific shots .
Good morning Alexander and thanks for the laugh regarding the Dunkin' Donuts. Have a great Sunday!
Ugly guns are often practical and just plain work. I kind of like the chunky utilitarian look of these guns. The barrel assembly is actually built like a tank out of a good grade of steel. The chunky slide comes out of necessity because of the non-locking but simple blowback design .
Will protect you just as good as a Kimber.
I had a High Point JHP 45 pistol before & it was accurate & never failed. Now shooting a 1911, but accumulated some steel case, +P, & hollow point ammo that’s not really suitable. So I bought another High Point JHP 45 just so I could use the ammo. It eats anything.
I love Hi-Point Firearms. The people that work for them are so friendly and helpful. They have a Lifetime Warranty, and they get the job done. What more do you want?
Excellent review as usual. Years ago, I picked up the carbine and the pistol in .45 years ago..got both for under $400. They have been 100% reliable with FMJ ammo. Fun range guns and I would trust either for home defense or as a truck gun.
I used mine to hammer nails in a section of my fence.
It's great for defense.
😄😄😄
👍😁
I’ll bet John Hickock got a laugh out of that.
The only looks that really matter is a good sight picture and looks like HiPoint has that covered! :D They have some newer design models out now that are a little better on the appearance! I think this would be a good candidate for a custom camo paint job and maybe some grip texture. I like it! Yall have a great weekend and Thanks for the great content as always!

Now I subscribed for the firearms just as ive so many in my library. The actual reason I return time and time again and refuse to miss a single video is no longer for the guns as much as its to see something so much more obvious at hand, thats a father who'll do whatever to hold onto every last precious second of his whole reason to wake up in the morning, his son! You sir are an inspiration to what a father should be! Anyone who cant see what im saying is clearly not watching!!
I love spending time with my son and when we aren't making a shooting video we are probably out on Lake Mead with our kayaks or perhaps exploring an old mine. Unfortunately I never got to know my father, which is probably why I spend so much time with my son. Your comment brought a smile to my face and I thank you for that.
@@mixup98 That's very similar to my own story as well. Never met my father never regretted a single day of my life its been blessed from my first breath and no that doesnt mean silver spoons for those who may read this outside of the two of us. In fact my mom and grandmother were strong working class women starting with my grandmother coming from Spain to Elis Island in 1914 at the age of 3. Being amazingly unaccompanied other than her twin who died during the trip. She went to an orphanage where she was adopted by an Italian family. She later became a single mother a big no no back in those days. My never quit, never say die core belief all stem from my grandma & mom. I never cared after to even meet the man whos DNA helped create me especially after learning he denied my existence. I am 100% my Grandmother/Mother. My kids are my reason, my reason for every achievement as well as the failures from all the trying along the way. With every failed attempt we learn what works and what does not, instead of this unbecoming antiAmerican blame bs they use today. God created all, God sets us all out on a path and our tool is free will. No one is to blame for a damn thing. Its our minds our free will that told us to turn left over the cliff instead of Turing right to the parking lot. "I didnt have a father that why I Lie, Cheat & Steal!" is the excuse of the lost and the weak. I raised my children as I was. Its easy to see that you did the same and that I felt should be recognized. Dads are supposed to be hero's to their children. God bless you for being just that. Not to throw religion in as I know it may "offend" some, however freedom to speak my mind is our God given right just as it is to oppose what it is I'm saying. I didnt mean to rant on and on but your reply was, lets just say not a surprise to me whatsoever, I find more and more like us lived in very similar households in one way or the other. Happy Sunday to you and yours and God bless you all.
@@The1TheyCall2-Tone Wow, what an amazing story. You are obviously very proud of your mother and grandmother. My mother raised four kids, mostly on her own, and she taught us right from wrong, which I have passed on to my children. You are certainly right when you say that dads are supposed to be hero's to their children. I just wish we could witness more of that today. Thank you for the taking the time to tell your story and God bless.
@@mixup98 I as well wish we were witnessing more from fathers and sadly mothers alike. In this day and age the word "Proud" does not exist. And yes I am so very proud of both my mom and grandmother, both have since passed. I have no regrets in my life, even of that which I should however without I would not be right where I am at this very moment even having this conversation in which I must say I am very grateful to have with you. Yet another who has given me hope that all is not yet lost. Our children will pass along this very thing and so on and so forth this simple basic quality will continue long after this life. Sad is the day the children of this country lose sight of all who gave their lives for what they so eagerly take for granted. Sad is the day that has long since past. Fear for all those in a foreign land who hate America meanwhile they couldn't shake a stick at the sheer distain our own youth has for the single greatest place on earth to be born to, America. Running around destroying their own neighbors property with no more care or concern for all they have done and continue to do in the name of whatever crisis they started to learn in kindergarten. Raised an army of our own to stand against father, mother sister and brother. Blind are the sheep who follow the fool to the edge of the land above the pit of fire. Pregnancy is some parasite in their eyes. My argument is quite simple, those with conscience will always follow what lives inside of them. Those without never had it to begin with. They are no more a neighbor than they are a foreigner invading for personal gain and the satisfaction they take from it
For the money it should be a good home defense weapon for anyone's budget. IMO, a spare mag or tow would be needed.
$160 bucks makes an ugly gun look attractive.
always amazed how good you guys shoot with any gun, i really like hi-points, thanks
Much appreciated, Ira 👍👍
Good old Hi-Point. I use my my old Model C in 9mm that I scored for under $100. 😎
You guys made the designers of that model very proud of themselves. Nice test video.

Who cares if it ugly. If it gets the job done.
I have to agree with Ed, that thing ain't purty. It looks like a mix(up) between a russian submarine and a 49 mercury lead sled. Great video guys.
I looked at pictures of a '49 Mercury and you're right, the pistol does look like a combination of a Russian sub and a Mercury 😁 I would love to get together someday with you Hank and go shooting.
Here I go again Mr. Number One High Point Fan. Wonderful pistol for the money. The larger the caliber the more reliable I've found. Love your videos. I was just talking to a guy last night about your latest Ruger .380 review. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

The Hi-Point really brings out the feminine side in men. You never hear them talking about how pretty or ugly a gun is until the Hi-Point comes out, 😂.
100% lol
@@that1guyvos516 💯😆
Yet! The foolish laugh at High-points. High points are exceptional and durable and they will put you high in the sky.
Never thought I’d see a hi point pistol here, but glad I did ! Great video 👍🏼
👍😎
I have had one of these bricks for years - even tried carrying it concealed in a Galco holster. Once ;) I later picked up the carbine too, no regrets with either. I remember when cheap gun meant Raven, Jennings, or Bryco - Hi Point is quite an improvement over that garbage.
One of my friends has a Jennings 9mm that he's holding onto, because he thinks it'll be worth something someday. I was like "mkaaayyy..."
Hi Points are good guns, I own several and they always work.
My best friends wife carries a .380 hi point in her purse. As a late night nurse she feels the need to C&C. My best friend C&C a Ruger security 9. He;s pretty darn good with it, but claims his wife is one hell of a shooter with that hi point. He told her that it's to heavy and offered to buy her something better, but she said. NOPE..I prefer my Hi Point. hahaha...It might be heavy but it sure dependable. And I totally agree with mixup. It sure is an ugly gun. hahaha..Peace..
Whenever Hi-Point releases their upgraded C9 I'm probably gonna buy one just cuz.
Paid $120 for mine a few years ago. Great for bashing in anything after you run out of ammo.
I've seen people shooting these at the ranges here in KY for years and they always work and seem accurate. Nice video.
Thanks Gator!
Some one tell hi- point to make 10mm pistol already! They have the 10mm carbine so why not the pistol. Their sales would go through roof.
You can convert the .40 hi-points to 10mm, you need a gunsmith to ream out a .40 barrel to a 10mm chamber and then play around with the recoil springs. Iraqveteran8888 has an old video on one they did.
because they are junk
Ok I have multiple Glocks and a Ruger Alaskan that I absolutely adore but the more I look at this ugly thing the more I feel I need to add it to the collection.
Heck, go for it Taylor. My Glock, Sig & Walther pistols aren't embarrassed by sharing the gun safe with a few Hi-Point pistols in there with them.
@@mixup98 the more the merrier
I got the exact same gun yesterday Highpoint 45 ACP can't wait to shoot it. It's ugly but I like it.
@@marty64thornton niceee. Yeah I went to the gun shop the other day, looked at the hi point, I just couldn’t do it, ended up buying another Glock lol. I do respect and admire hi points tho.
I bought a Hi-Point C9 in pink as a joke and was surprised. It's not the worst gun I've ever shot.
Yall did some excellent shooting. I have a highpoint and it's works flawlessly. I never understood why ppl bash these guns so bad. I also have a glock 23 and cannot tell any difference in the pistols except for the glock looks like eye candy to me 🤣🤣. But I wouldn't hesitate at all putting my highpoint in any defensive situation. Great Video!!!
Those Saturday night special guns that are sliding action with a fixed barrel seem to have descent accuracy.
It's the blow-back action too. Two of my most accurate guns are blow-back with fixed barrels. One is my .380 Jimenez T-380 and the other is my Hi-point Model C in 9mm. It's the predecessor to the Model C9. ^_^
Been thinking about getting one of these. I've got the C9 it's been reliable and shoots good. I think all the bad stories come from people that's never shot one. Good video.
Mixup you make some of the best shooting videos, I'd rather watch your channel over cable and Netflix.
Wow.....that is awesome! You brought a smile to my son and I and we thank you for the very nice comment.
