$143 for a brand new pistol with a lifetime no question asked warranty? And every part is made in America?? How can any gun enthusiast not have one or a few considering you can get four new hi points for the price of one glock? Great barn gun if anything
I love my Hi-Point C9 and so far it has eaten everything I have fed it. It has been an accurate and reliable firearm and while it is not my EDC it makes a great backup truck gun and I plan to add a Hi-Point 995 to my collection. Thanks for the informative video.
Get the 1095. The 10mm.. they also come in 40, 45 ,... The 10, 40, and 45, dont have a tapered case like the 9mm. And they are more reliable with the longer extended mags that are preferable with the carbine. The 995 has been plauged with issues not present on the other calibers and im willing to bet body parts that its because of the single stack mag and the tapered 9mm luger case.. if you research 9mm single stsck failure to feed issues youll see a plethora of guns by all mfgs that have issues with single stack 9mm guns nosdiving on the first round or two in mags that hold more than 7-8 rounds.. the problsm comes from the gap that grows when you stack them on top of eachother . That first round in a full mag has to angle up to feed. And the tapered case causes a large gap from the top round to the next, and gives it room to nosedive. If the cases were straight , then the top round would be supported by the next round , not just at the rim but the whole length of the cartridge
I think hi point have come a very long way in the last several years. I respect their ability and that when someone is extremely budget limited that it makes a good option. I personally have gone with the taurus pt111g2 and the g2c because ive been getting them for $179. The taurus is just more ergonomic, cheaper to buy parts/accessories/holsters for, and just more user friendly. Ill never give anyone grief for having a hi point. At least theyre armed with something that works.
My experience with Hi Points (both pistols and carbines) is if you’re having functionality problems it’s pretty much always the magazine. Their mags are inexpensive, so buy a bunch, and if any don’t work right then HP will replace them.
Hi-point mags are pretty notorious for not being the best. the newer ones are leagues better from the old ones but you'll still get that one out of the bunch.
There are a couple of good TH-cam instructional videos on how to fix the magazine spring. Simple and easy and fast. I have a buddy who is a gunsmith and he says every HiPoint he has had brought in the problem was ALWAYS the magazine spring.
@@jackpenland1750 Luckily for me the only problems i had when buying them from the store is having to get a dent out causing it to not feed because aftermarket mags like Promags are kinda iffy at times
Truck gun, tackle box, take it to the stand with you, I got mine for $80 and I use it for all the rough applications of my outdoor endeavors. It runs just as well as any other pistol I have, in fact less issues than some others I own
I have never fired a high point after several of your videos I borrowed a HP from a friend of mine went to the range I was quite surprised your videos encourage some of us to go outside of the box thanks keep shooting stay safe
Correction . They are " darn reliable" when you find mags that are good.. the hipoint is totally reliant on the mag to run right. And because they are so cheap, one area they save money is on the mag... The feedlips are easily bent in shipping and by dropping .. if you have an issue with your hipoint , get 4-5 new mags.. run them and the ones that feed right, keep them.. throw the rest away . You can sometimes bend the feed lips and make them work too.. but all hipoints ive ever seen with jam issues were due to the magazine. .. ive founf them to be 100 percent reliable when clean and with good mags..
@@no.step.on.snek.2423 Throw the mags away?? No way, just a little twerk and it's good, I've had all my hi points and only had a few stove pipes but once I polished the feed ramp they were golden for me, it's been about 5 years with all my hi points and haven't had ANY heartbreaking issues.
Owned 3 for over 10 years each no issues whatsoever. I never did clean them either. The c9 380 and the 9 carbine not to mention shooting almost exclusively steel case ammo. There’s nothing wrong with these firearms they just flat work.
I’m thanking bout trying the 147gr in my Taurus. It likes the 124gr for sure. High point is a good gun. The mags gave them a bad name when they first came out. Great video as always brother GOD BLESS you and your family Amen
The dos and donts of highpoint pistols and reliability : Do 1: clean as soon as you get it and familiarize yourself with dissassembly. 2: do,go buy mothers mag wheel polish, and pack some in the slide rails, reassemble and work the slide back and forth. This may take a couple of applications, but will make the slide perfectly mate to the frame and make it super slick. Gunsmiths call this " lapping the slide". Make sure to throroughly clean after... Hipoints are vloa back operated , not locked breach. And to keep the slide closed long enough for pressre to drop , thsy use that huge heavy slide.. most mfgs use a combination of a heavy slide and heavy spring. Buf highpoint uses just a really heavy slide, and a light spring. This is the source of failure to return to battery, and the overall sluggishness of the slide when chambering a round.. the " lapping" process helps this immensely 3: do, go ahead and buy 3-4 mags. They are very cheaply made, and prone to bending at the feed lips. All highpoint reliability issues ive seen are due to either a cruddy gun, or a bad mag.. 4: do run hollowpoints , and fmj out of the mags.. if any have failures to feed or anything elss, get your money back and keep the ones that work. Or use the unreliable ones for range only. 5. Do , number your magazines to keep track . Keep a sheet to document each failure for each mag 6. do, break your gun in by shooting 2-300 rounds of warm ammo... AFTER lapping the slide. Then base your magazine judgements off of that. 7: do find a holster that covers the trigger . 8: do keep a spare recoil spring assembly and swap it when return to battery issues arise. Donts 1: dont drop your magazines . 2: dont get lazy with cleaning after the range if this is your self defense gun. 3: dont carry with safety disengaged. This gun has no striker block safety. 4: dont drench in oil, this attracts grit and makes it even harder for the light recoil spring to do its job. 5. Dont moddify the crappy trigger or buy a kit. Some are dubious and render the gun not drop safe to the point a bump will fire it.. leave the trigger be unless your a competent user. You can master the trigger with practice and its heavy for a reason. 6: dont be satisfied.. if this is all you can afford , practice all ive said and youll bd fine.. but understand that as soon aa possible, it would be prudent to buy a better , lighter, easier to carry, rugged , more reliable gun.. that dont require a special rule set to make them defense worthy . Highpoints are good for what they are . You shouldnt have to fork out a weeks pay to keep yourself safe. Highpoint provides and option for that.. their warranty is impeccable, and they are usa made , and stood by, the company is seriously awesome. Sccy is the same way. And in many ways a better gun for just a little more. And good to go right out the box
The hi point I had in my hand was my friends c9. It reliably jammed on every 3rd shot no matter what ammo you put in it. I have seen many videos on TH-cam demonstrating repeated failures. I am actually amazed to see one that made it through the video and performed as one would want a reliable firearm to perform.
Absolutely. Or if you have a good gunsmith like heavy metal they can clean it after you put 2000 rounds through it. I would bet that the average Joe never puts more than 200 rounds through a pistol
You mean 10,000 rounds that's when you either have to throw it away or go to the warranty they're good Way Beyond Thousand rounds seen it several times on multiple different 9 380s and 45 ACP
c k Lifetime repair or replace warranty makes tossing one seems uhhh, wasteful at least....never cleaning them seems like looking for a reason to complain when one develops a glitch.
Was cruz'n some C9 videos to see what they like to eat , just bought one and will pick it up in a couple of days at a local pawn shop for $150 , been watching reviews ! Some people had feed problems , jamming , others loved it ,said it never failed and was very reliable , one of my biggest problems is finding ammo just to put thru it , I really want to test it out at the range so I guess I'm going to try some of their generic target loads just to see if it feeds ok , it was an interesting video , thanks for posting 👍🏼
Hi Point impresses again. Shooting that many types of ammunition has to be hard to zero in on. I know the point was that it will eat all different types, but that many differences still makes it a challenge.
I ordered the 995 Carbine today. The sucky part is the next shipment isn't coming into Canada until the end of June. Gonna be a long wait...but worth it hopefully 😁💥
Great vid who tee. Sorry I missed the premiere! I don’t care what my firearm looks like as long as it shoots accurate, most people that trash talk hi-point just don’t like the way it looks. Out of a glock or a hi-point, I bet it’d still hurt!
My son has a Glock and I own a Hi Point (not big pistol fan), he says yours is so big and balky. I told him they're both plastic and metal, mine is just built better! We shoot same size groups.
Just ordered this gun yesterday to be delivered to a local pawn shop. I've seen mixed reviews but can't afford much higher. Now this $160 gun is $260.. probably due to COVID. Everything is due to that damned disease, but I feel some are just using it for an excuse. Anyway can't wait to try it out. I got a box of 50 Luger 115 grain, but according to your video I should've got 110 grain or 147 grain.. at least the ones you had.. made every shot!
No malfunctions and the spent shell casing ejection was good.99% of the time if there are malfunctions,it's the magazine,not the pistol.And that problem can be taken care of with a set of channel lock plyers.Kuddos to Hi Point.
@Terry Grossman Did you let them fix it? And make it right? Did you sell it? Or get your money back? I don't see what your point is. You are definitely in the minority of customers with that experience. I will always own a Hi-Point. The JHP .45 is more comfortable to shoot than my G21.
We live literally three blocks from hi point in mansfield ohio. This gun we own. We were told to oil the rails and have fun. Never had a misfire. And once you get used to aiming sites its rapid fire dead on. Will fire critical duty hollows and do some serious damage
Hey I am a hi point fan too and actually own and a hi point c9 9mm pistol every day and every night and I am a superhero who fights bad guys during the day and during the night using my brand new hi point c9 9mm pistol which helps me hold my own against enemies with larger and more expensive handguns.
If you have a high point 9C, avoid 147gr bullets. My buddy bought two brand new pistols and we had feet problems out of both of them. Took them back to point of sale, return to factory about 3 days later the tech called. After discussion he told him it was ammo, as the 147 is designed for full size 5 in barrels. In a short high point, you get FTE or FTF and it has problems blowing the slide all the way back because of the heavy bullet. We swapped ammo never had another problem. Incidentally the lighter the ammo the hotter the ammo the better that gun runs. It's rated +P
I just did a wood test between 9mm and .357 magnum. The ultimate winner was the Jesse James ammo, not the black label but still. Stopped in the 11th 1/2" plywood sheet.
Well I did it..lol.. I bought a c9 today.. I went out and ran some Winchester white box 124 grain and aguila 115 grain just to see.. at 20 yo 25 feet it was dead on accurate and functioned 100% .. I didn't know what to expect listening to all the bashers.. ya I have other pistols but bought this out of curiosity.. so 174 plus tax.. not a bad deal..
Just got one last week at rural King 169.00 c9 first hi point. I couldn't believe how good it shot no jams. I put 7 rnds instead of 8 cause I had to force the 8th. All the bad stories were nothing but lies. First time I see a 45 I'm gonna get it. Hope your c9 does good.
@@rkow8508 I do have the jhp 45 now.. all I can say is wow.. ya it's a little heavy but soft shooting and stupidly accurate.. 100% reliable.. I'm going to buy a second one I like it as well or better than my glock 21..
I use Winchester Nato rounds in my every day carry 124gr fmj. Somebody told me to get away from fmj and use hollow points. It don’t matter what kind of bullet goes through a vital organ like the heart or brain dead is dead.
I like my hi point, it hasn’t failed on me. Every time i pull the trigger it shoots, i bought it just because it was inexpensive and wanted a gun at the time. The only thing though is that no store that I’ve been to sells extra magazines, the only way that I know is online.
Thanks for the video, i wondered about which ammo would work best. Just regular 9 mm, like Federal or otherwise. What do you think of the rack? Can you make the serrations easier to get a hand on when you grad it? How many rounds did you run through it to warm up? Any other pointers? This will be my first CCW, I know it’s big for that, but price wise, I’m not in the market for a 300 or 600 price tag. Maybe am RIA .38 revolver, but 9 mm is the most affordable billet. Do have any other suggestions or tips for racking, grips? Thank you!
I'm thinking about buying the C9 for my first handgun. It's 180.00 + tax for me here in California. It would go along with my shotgun for home defense and to take camping. If I decide to later apply for CCW permit, would it be safe as far as the safety is concerned and having one chambered, so 9 total? I know it's thick and chunky and I can afford a more expensive gun but just just curious
I've had great luck with my Yeet Cannon C9 that I've had for a few years, it's reliable as they come and was _surprisingly_ accurate right out of the cardboard box. I have yet to find a brand of ammo that it doesn't like, it's weirdly one of my most reliable pistols as far as different ammo goes, I have two CZ's one of which I could have bought 20 HiPoints for what it cost me (customized and Cajunized SP-01 Competition) and neither of them like hollowpoints as much as the HiPoint. She sure as hell isn't a looker nor does she feel good under the hands but damn does she get the job done🤣. Ohh and I also did a trigger job to it, I polished the sear and striker and replaced the sear spring with a much lighter one, and also cut down the height of the sear so theres almost no creep, it breaks at around 2 pounds and I also set travel limits in the trigger so it only goes far back enough to fire and far forward enough to reset, it shoots so much better now. Dangerous AF though, I can make it fire by firmly slamming the magazine in or tapping a hard surface with the butt of the pistol, it's definitely no longer a safe gun but _damn_ does it shoot well now, it's probably the second-nicest trigger I own which is saying something. A buddy of mine absolutely could not believe how nice it is now, HiPoints are supposed to feel like they're full of sand and use a piece of rebar as a trigger spring🤣.
I just picked up a new C9 and a JCP 40 to go with my JHP 45 and other C9. I got 2 discounts on the 9 and 3 discounts on the 40. $123 and tax for the 9 and $109 and tax on the 40. My local Academy is giving me some great deals! Just can't say no! I've been shooting and owning HP's for several years now. Great guns and great customer service! I bought my 45 used from a buddy for $100. One call to the factory and I had all the parts to rebuild it, inside and out, for free. They thanked me for buying their guns and had the parts to my house in 3 days. I've got 4 HP's and am planning on getting more. I'm not ashamed to admit- I really like HP and I'm a HP collector!
@@WHOTEEWHO I got 2 reliable, American made and guaranteed for life handguns- a 9mm and a 40 for under $250- tax and all. You just can't beat that deal. My kids actually give ole dad some gun $ for my birthday last month and I went shopping. Great guns- and great kids! Lol.
I have a c9 the only issue I had was the safety spring it would lock and not budge after I emptied the mag it’s a easy fix I just shortened it and it works great
I’ve had three of these pistols and everyone of them stove piped and would try to double feed . There are guys who get C9’s and they don’t seem to have any problems with the pistol running ? Do you do something to your pistol to make it run without problems ?
I'm getting c9 soon, it's at least 15 years old, fired only a few times if at all, any advice on ammo to use. Ive got some, ammo inc.115 gr JHP, and more arriving soon. What seems to work best in the older c9s?
I use it for reload function testing. I have other pistols I could use, but if "Iraqveteren8888" had a hard time blowing one up. I can't hurt it. with normal loading data. I liked the and subscribed because of the honest testing . simple and straight forward approach to doing things.
@@WHOTEEWHO I hope I didn't disrespect you when I said I want you to shoot my arsenal guns with out we know each other SORRY I didn't mean no disrespect I erase the comment
Great video Brother! I'm a CZ fan, factory 75B and it is crazy accurate and will eat anything you run through it but, I'm really starting to like the hi point. Thinking about a 10mm pistol and carbine!!! Stay Safe Brother!!!🙏🇺🇸 Who_Teee_Whoooo!!!
Have you ever tried running any +p Ammo through this gun? I just picked one up, and it’s rated for +p, and I bought some +p Ammo by accident because I’m new to 9mm. I’m a little hesitant to try the +p.
You ever shoot any 9mm NATO rounds? I got a couple boxes and it seems like it sticks out a little further just like the ar rounds. It won't work in some of my 9s works good in my model 92
You should get some and see if they shoot faster threw your chronograph. They have a hotter load , just wonder if they are actually faster . Either way hi points are still freaking awesome
GOOD JOB WHO TEE WHO,I HAVE THAT GUN C9 HP I LOVE IT INDEED,RELIABLE,DURABLE,CHEAP, USA MADE AND VERY ACCURATE, I ALSO LIKE YOUR CHEAP POLO SHIRT TOO ,I WILL BUY ONE IN SALVATION ARMY TOMORROW! GOOD REVIEW NONE OF THE BULLETS JAM, MAYBE IF YOU FED ARMSCOR BULLETS, 3 ROUNDS WILL JAM DEFINITELY!
Ah a video on my first pistol. In all honesty while I genuinely like them I still would only recommend a hi point if you can't get anything else and need a gun immediately or for a beater gun or stash gun. There are just so many better options especially in today's market. All that said good vid and keep up with the quality content man.
I see this type of comment a lot regarding the High-Point and it never seems to make sense to me ... If it's good enough as a first gun for protection, what keeps it from continuing to be good as an only gun for protection
@@concernedcitizen5320 it's just a poor design. It'll do the job but with heavier recoil in an over sized over weight gun. They're adequate but sub par when compared to even a Taurus g2c. They're both of a similar size over all with a smaller lighter slide and less felt recoil due to the design with higher capacity, better sights and a better trigger on the Taurus for the same price roughly if you shop around. They'll do the job but even in some cases an extra $10 will get you a gun that's superior in basically every way
@@concernedcitizen5320 hi points are like mopeds they're reliable they'll do what you need to do and they're cheap but at best it's a stop gap until you can get something better
Hi-Point pistols & carbines are so underrated. They're nearly foolproof & they shoot great with an unbeatable warranty! Another great video.

I am now in the 8th year with the same Hi-point C9 and have had no problems with it at all.

After watching your hi point vids I added a c9 to my collection. So far no problems. I run Lee 125gr cast and powder coated with 5.7gr of hs-6.
I've said for a while. .. if those Hi-points didn't function so well, you wouldn't even hear the name anymore.
Very true
Yeah like lorcin
I agree with you. A gun with a life time 100 warrantee for the life of the gun. But with the warranty that never happens
I can honestly say i never disliked any of your videos,but glad to see you are finally putting top of line firearms in the videos lately.
Not even the serial down voter had to like it. Lol

The dos and donts of highpoint pistols and reliability :
Do
1: clean as soon as you get it and familiarize yourself with dissassembly.
2: do,go buy mothers mag wheel polish, and pack some in the slide rails, reassemble and work the slide back and forth. This may take a couple of applications, but will make the slide perfectly mate to the frame and make it super slick. Gunsmiths call this " lapping the slide". Make sure to throroughly clean after... Hipoints are vloa back operated , not locked breach. And to keep the slide closed long enough for pressre to drop , thsy use that huge heavy slide.. most mfgs use a combination of a heavy slide and heavy spring.

This is the source of failure to return to battery, and the overall sluggishness of the slide when chambering a round.. the " lapping" process helps this immensely
3: do, go ahead and buy 3-4 mags. They are very cheaply made, and prone to bending at the feed lips. All highpoint reliability issues ive seen are due to either a cruddy gun, or a bad mag..
4: do run hollowpoints , and fmj out of the mags.. if any have failures to feed or anything elss, get your money back and keep the ones that work. Or use the unreliable ones for range only.
5. Do , number your magazines to keep track . Keep a sheet to document each failure for each mag
6. do, break your gun in by shooting 2-300 rounds of warm ammo... AFTER lapping the slide. Then base your magazine judgements off of that.
7: do find a holster that covers the trigger .
8: do keep a spare recoil spring assembly and swap it when return to battery issues arise.
Donts
1: dont drop your magazines .
2: dont get lazy with cleaning after the range if this is your self defense gun.
3: dont carry with safety disengaged. This gun has no striker block safety.
4: dont drench in oil, this attracts grit and makes it even harder for the light recoil spring to do its job.
5. Dont moddify the crappy trigger or buy a kit. Some are dubious and render the gun not drop safe to the point a bump will fire it.. leave the trigger be unless your a competent user. You can master the trigger with practice and its heavy for a reason.
6: dont be satisfied.. if this is all you can afford , practice all ive said and youll bd fine.. but understand that as soon aa possible, it would be prudent to buy a better , lighter, easier to carry, rugged , more reliable gun.. that dont require a special rule set to make them defense worthy .
Highpoints are good for what they are . You shouldnt have to fork out a weeks pay to keep yourself safe. Highpoint provides and option for that.. their warranty is impeccable, and they are usa made , and stood by, the company is seriously awesome.
Sccy is the same way. And in many ways a better gun for just a little more. And good to go right out the box
What do you think about putting a heavier spring in it and taking a dremel to the slide?
Just bought 2 of these after watching your video. Thanks for the confidence in the purchase.

Yup thing just keeps running
Good review of the c9 I bought one few weeks ago. 169.00 Can't go wrong shot good no jams.

Hey man thank you for not downing the High Point it’s a decent gun for the price I just subscribed and liked the video just for that bro
Thanks for watching Robbie!
Im about to jump on a high point.. always an awesome review.
Thanks for watching po!
@timmybmn i bought hi point jhp .45 and will be buying the c9 9mm also
Best thing about a hi point is you never have to clean them
When it stops running you just throw it away and get a new one
Absolutely. Or if you have a good gunsmith like heavy metal they can clean it after you put 2000 rounds through it. I would bet that the average Joe never puts more than 200 rounds through a pistol
You mean 10,000 rounds that's when you either have to throw it away or go to the warranty they're good Way Beyond Thousand rounds seen it several times on multiple different 9 380s and 45 ACP
The hipoint C9 was my first semiautomatic pistol.I still have it and goes bang all the time.
c k Lifetime repair or replace warranty makes tossing one seems uhhh, wasteful at least....never cleaning them seems like looking for a reason to complain when one develops a glitch.
Those Fiocchi's jacketed hollow point 147 grainers are probably the best choice for self defense, here.
I just bought one about a month ago.And i like it. Very fun to shoot.
HP gits it done well !! Saving up 4 one again w/7 gkid's $$ hard 2 find now ! TY 4 ur videos encouraging !
Ahhh the good ole days, when you could test ammo in a super cheap pistol, and not spend more on the ammo in the first few mags.
Was cruz'n some C9 videos to see what they like to eat , just bought one and will pick it up in a couple of days at a local pawn shop for $150 , been watching reviews ! Some people had feed problems , jamming , others loved it ,said it never failed and was very reliable , one of my biggest problems is finding ammo just to put thru it , I really want to test it out at the range so I guess I'm going to try some of their generic target loads just to see if it feeds ok , it was an interesting video , thanks for posting 👍🏼
Good shooting!! Those Hi Points just work well!!
Sure do!
Hi Point impresses again. Shooting that many types of ammunition has to be hard to zero in on. I know the point was that it will eat all different types, but that many differences still makes it a challenge.
Always fun shooting!
Hi Point firearms, they just work!😁
Sure do
i have the c-9 and the jcp 40 sw they work fine ...
Hipoint actually is a respectable budget firearm.
I ordered the 995 Carbine today. The sucky part is the next shipment isn't coming into Canada until the end of June. Gonna be a long wait...but worth it hopefully 😁💥
@@MattP-BandB Yeah. I hate waiting for anything gun related. Tests the patience!
@@PatRMG Yup and a great deal of patience is not something I was blessed with 😆. Except when it comes to my kids...
@@MattP-BandB Wait until you deal with the American ATF and FBI. They're neither efficient nor your friend.
@timmybmn Thanks for the kind words brother. Means a lot 🙏
C-9 was my first. She was rough but fair. Not pretty, but always performed as expected.
I just bought 50 rounds fed brass 40sw last night15.99 not bad on price great shooting bud
Not bad
Great vid who tee. Sorry I missed the premiere! I don’t care what my firearm looks like as long as it shoots accurate, most people that trash talk hi-point just don’t like the way it looks. Out of a glock or a hi-point, I bet it’d still hurt!
Thanks for watching Josh
Facts😂
My son has a Glock and I own a Hi Point (not big pistol fan), he says yours is so big and balky. I told him they're both plastic and metal, mine is just built better! We shoot same size groups.
Just ordered this gun yesterday to be delivered to a local pawn shop. I've seen mixed reviews but can't afford much higher. Now this $160 gun is $260.. probably due to COVID. Everything is due to that damned disease, but I feel some are just using it for an excuse. Anyway can't wait to try it out. I got a box of 50 Luger 115 grain, but according to your video I should've got 110 grain or 147 grain.. at least the ones you had.. made every shot!
No malfunctions and the spent shell casing ejection was good.99% of the time if there are malfunctions,it's the magazine,not the pistol.And that problem can be taken care of with a set of channel lock plyers.Kuddos to Hi Point.
I heard these things jam alot. I remember them from my younger days . They were infamous for putting work so, i dunno. Good vid!
I watched just to see all that ammo! (I do like the Hi-point, too.)
Still a very good handgun i use it for my everyday carry same one
Once again nothing wrong with a Hi-Point
Hey Doug
I bought a Hi Point 9mm four years ago. It would jam with every other shot. I also have friends that had Hi Points that jammed more than they fired.
I've never had that problem
@Terry Grossman
Did you let them fix it? And make it right? Did you sell it? Or get your money back?
I don't see what your point is.
You are definitely in the minority of customers with that experience.
I will always own a Hi-Point.
The JHP .45 is more comfortable to shoot than my G21.
We live literally three blocks from hi point in mansfield ohio. This gun we own. We were told to oil the rails and have fun. Never had a misfire. And once you get used to aiming sites its rapid fire dead on. Will fire critical duty hollows and do some serious damage
People just have a rude attitude.
Hey I am a hi point fan too and actually own and a hi point c9 9mm pistol every day and every night and I am a superhero who fights bad guys during the day and during the night using my brand new hi point c9 9mm pistol which helps me hold my own against enemies with larger and more expensive handguns.
If you have a high point 9C, avoid 147gr bullets. My buddy bought two brand new pistols and we had feet problems out of both of them. Took them back to point of sale, return to factory about 3 days later the tech called. After discussion he told him it was ammo, as the 147 is designed for full size 5 in barrels. In a short high point, you get FTE or FTF and it has problems blowing the slide all the way back because of the heavy bullet. We swapped ammo never had another problem. Incidentally the lighter the ammo the hotter the ammo the better that gun runs. It's rated +P
Great video im always a hi point fan!!
Me too! Thanks for watching Marshall!
I just did a wood test between 9mm and .357 magnum. The ultimate winner was the Jesse James ammo, not the black label but still. Stopped in the 11th 1/2" plywood sheet.
Awesome!
Well I did it..lol.. I bought a c9 today.. I went out and ran some Winchester white box 124 grain and aguila 115 grain just to see.. at 20 yo 25 feet it was dead on accurate and functioned 100% .. I didn't know what to expect listening to all the bashers.. ya I have other pistols but bought this out of curiosity.. so 174 plus tax.. not a bad deal..
Just got one last week at rural King 169.00 c9 first hi point. I couldn't believe how good it shot no jams. I put 7 rnds instead of 8 cause I had to force the 8th. All the bad stories were nothing but lies. First time I see a 45 I'm gonna get it. Hope your c9 does good.
@@rkow8508 did you ever get the 45.. I'm hoping tomorrow weather permitting I'll go get one.. 150 bucks at rural king
@@rkow8508 I do have the jhp 45 now.. all I can say is wow.. ya it's a little heavy but soft shooting and stupidly accurate.. 100% reliable.. I'm going to buy a second one I like it as well or better than my glock 21..
I use Winchester Nato rounds in my every day carry 124gr fmj. Somebody told me to get away from fmj and use hollow points. It don’t matter what kind of bullet goes through a vital organ like the heart or brain dead is dead.
More about over penetration then anything. Ball ammo can go through the bad guy and hit an innocent.
I like my hi point, it hasn’t failed on me. Every time i pull the trigger it shoots, i bought it just because it was inexpensive and wanted a gun at the time. The only thing though is that no store that I’ve been to sells extra magazines, the only way that I know is online.
Yup I'm a hipoint fan
Thanks for the video, i wondered about which ammo would work best. Just regular 9 mm, like Federal or otherwise. What do you think of the rack? Can you make the serrations easier to get a hand on when you grad it? How many rounds did you run through it to warm up? Any other pointers? This will be my first CCW, I know it’s big for that, but price wise, I’m not in the market for a 300 or 600 price tag. Maybe am RIA .38 revolver, but 9 mm is the most affordable billet. Do have any other suggestions or tips for racking, grips? Thank you!
Thank you. Concise and brief. 👍
Thanks for watching Jerrie
I'm thinking about buying the C9 for my first handgun. It's 180.00 + tax for me here in California. It would go along with my shotgun for home defense and to take camping. If I decide to later apply for CCW permit, would it be safe as far as the safety is concerned and having one chambered, so 9 total? I know it's thick and chunky and I can afford a more expensive gun but just just curious
Thank you for this. I just ordered a C9 this weekend.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
How much do they cost and where can I order one? Thanks!
Thanks man for a good review of a great product.
Thanks for watching
Good video bro. I just bought a high point. This just confirms i made a great purchase
I just purchased one too !😃
@@leonardpiskacsr.7111 congratulations!! They are really good guns
Great shooting zero fails hi point.. WTW!!!
Yeah buddy
I've had great luck with my Yeet Cannon C9 that I've had for a few years, it's reliable as they come and was _surprisingly_ accurate right out of the cardboard box. I have yet to find a brand of ammo that it doesn't like, it's weirdly one of my most reliable pistols as far as different ammo goes, I have two CZ's one of which I could have bought 20 HiPoints for what it cost me (customized and Cajunized SP-01 Competition) and neither of them like hollowpoints as much as the HiPoint. She sure as hell isn't a looker nor does she feel good under the hands but damn does she get the job done🤣.
Ohh and I also did a trigger job to it, I polished the sear and striker and replaced the sear spring with a much lighter one, and also cut down the height of the sear so theres almost no creep, it breaks at around 2 pounds and I also set travel limits in the trigger so it only goes far back enough to fire and far forward enough to reset, it shoots so much better now. Dangerous AF though, I can make it fire by firmly slamming the magazine in or tapping a hard surface with the butt of the pistol, it's definitely no longer a safe gun but _damn_ does it shoot well now, it's probably the second-nicest trigger I own which is saying something. A buddy of mine absolutely could not believe how nice it is now, HiPoints are supposed to feel like they're full of sand and use a piece of rebar as a trigger spring🤣.
I just picked up a new C9 and a JCP 40 to go with my JHP 45 and other C9. I got 2 discounts on the 9 and 3 discounts on the 40. $123 and tax for the 9 and $109 and tax on the 40. My local Academy is giving me some great deals! Just can't say no! I've been shooting and owning HP's for several years now. Great guns and great customer service! I bought my 45 used from a buddy for $100. One call to the factory and I had all the parts to rebuild it, inside and out, for free. They thanked me for buying their guns and had the parts to my house in 3 days. I've got 4 HP's and am planning on getting more. I'm not ashamed to admit- I really like HP and I'm a HP collector!
Very nice!!!
@@WHOTEEWHO I got 2 reliable, American made and guaranteed for life handguns- a 9mm and a 40 for under $250- tax and all. You just can't beat that deal. My kids actually give ole dad some gun $ for my birthday last month and I went shopping. Great guns- and great kids! Lol.
I have a c9 the only issue I had was the safety spring it would lock and not budge after I emptied the mag it’s a easy fix I just shortened it and it works great
Did you try taking the mag out then re cocking? That's worked for me
Dang man, I missed the live chat. Dang weedeating!!!
I've never had a High Point. But I would like someday, try a High Point gun!
They are fun
I’ve had three of these pistols and everyone of them stove piped and would try to double feed . There are guys who get C9’s and they don’t seem to have any problems with the pistol running ? Do you do something to your pistol to make it run without problems ?
Gun seems to have a good appetite... accurate as well. I wonder if the name Hi Point refers to the bore axis ? 😆🤣
Hungry for sure!
Matthew Pearson LOL. Yea, that bore axis is UP THERE! But hey, it runs...
I am curious about the difference in velocity between a 9mm +P pistol and a 9mm pc standard load.
The difference is usually about 75 fps.
Hi Points prefer +P. It's definitive
@@flatplaneoregon4605 I like using 124 Winchester NATO FMJ in my C9's. They eat it up! They are advertised doing 1200 fps. They are plus p loads.
I'm getting c9 soon, it's at least 15 years old, fired only a few times if at all, any advice on ammo to use. Ive got some, ammo inc.115 gr JHP, and more arriving soon. What seems to work best in the older c9s?
All fine
I love underdog firearms ...... Stoeger here I come ...
Me too!
I use it for reload function testing. I have other pistols I could use, but if "Iraqveteren8888" had a hard time blowing one up. I can't hurt it. with normal loading data. I liked the and subscribed because of the honest testing . simple and straight forward approach to doing things.
This is a about to be a really fun video ✌😆👊
I like when he say that PUERTO RICO in the house
Heyo!
@@WHOTEEWHO I hope I didn't disrespect you when I said I want you to shoot my arsenal guns with out we know each other SORRY
I didn't mean no disrespect I erase the comment
Nope not at all
I own 2 C9 9mm they are good hand guns for under $200 both of mine are reliable n lifetime warranty cant beat that
👍👍
i like my hi-points,...good video and info, thanks
Thanks for watching! Me too
I imagine it'll do as a good as the carbine!! Another great video!
You got it! Thanks for watching!
If you have the JCP 40S&W or the JHP 45ACP or any of the Carbines could you please bring them out and do your ammo testing.
Don't stand so close bro 😊🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
this video is a good review of my C9, have not sot it in a while. it is in the safe.
Hey who tee who ! Good video
Thanks for watching
You must go through some spray paint wtw your targets are always nicely painted making it easy for us to see the hits thanks for that
Sure do! Lots of paint!
Great video Brother! I'm a CZ fan, factory 75B and it is crazy accurate and will eat anything you run through it but, I'm really starting to like the hi point. Thinking about a 10mm pistol and carbine!!! Stay Safe Brother!!!🙏🇺🇸 Who_Teee_Whoooo!!!
I love em all!
Do a smith and wesson 380 bodyguard with those ammo great video
Have you ever tried running any +p Ammo through this gun? I just picked one up, and it’s rated for +p, and I bought some +p Ammo by accident because I’m new to 9mm. I’m a little hesitant to try the +p.
Hi Points are plus P rated. They actually run better with hotter ammo. Use them !
You ever shoot any 9mm NATO rounds? I got a couple boxes and it seems like it sticks out a little further just like the ar rounds. It won't work in some of my 9s works good in my model 92
Never have
You should get some and see if they shoot faster threw your chronograph. They have a hotter load , just wonder if they are actually faster . Either way hi points are still freaking awesome
The working class man’s self defense weapon right there
GOOD JOB WHO TEE WHO,I HAVE THAT GUN C9 HP I LOVE IT INDEED,RELIABLE,DURABLE,CHEAP, USA MADE AND VERY ACCURATE, I ALSO LIKE YOUR CHEAP POLO SHIRT TOO ,I WILL BUY ONE IN SALVATION ARMY TOMORROW! GOOD REVIEW NONE OF THE BULLETS JAM, MAYBE IF YOU FED ARMSCOR BULLETS, 3 ROUNDS WILL JAM DEFINITELY!
You should do a water jug test with those frangible ammo. I would really like to see what would happen to them when they dont hit steel.
Good idea
Love my C9 !
Me too!
Great video it all looked great
The only thing i hate about it is i can never find one chambered in 40 cal as for some reason they are always sold out
Ah a video on my first pistol. In all honesty while I genuinely like them I still would only recommend a hi point if you can't get anything else and need a gun immediately or for a beater gun or stash gun. There are just so many better options especially in today's market. All that said good vid and keep up with the quality content man.
I see this type of comment a lot regarding the High-Point and it never seems to make sense to me ... If it's good enough as a first gun for protection, what keeps it from continuing to be good as an only gun for protection
@@concernedcitizen5320 it's just a poor design. It'll do the job but with heavier recoil in an over sized over weight gun. They're adequate but sub par when compared to even a Taurus g2c. They're both of a similar size over all with a smaller lighter slide and less felt recoil due to the design with higher capacity, better sights and a better trigger on the Taurus for the same price roughly if you shop around. They'll do the job but even in some cases an extra $10 will get you a gun that's superior in basically every way
@@concernedcitizen5320 hi points are like mopeds they're reliable they'll do what you need to do and they're cheap but at best it's a stop gap until you can get something better
Need to get Yc9 my Nex one.👍
Can you test +p & +pp ammo in the model c hi point told me these were from factory supposed to be built for +p hot loads mainly
Excellent information !
Excellent Shooting !
Excellent video !

Ever try Tul-Ammo?My C9 hates it but my carbine runs it flawless.
Yup I shoot it a lot
