      Also, let's be honest, there are far worse firearms out there. The hi point is the lowest-quality firearm _that reliably goes bang when you pull the trigger_. There are guns out there that do not meet even that low standard.

      As a hi point c9 owner, I must say it is definitely my ugliest gun. And definitely not as reliable as people make it seem. It's heavy as fuck. It's ugly as fuck. It fails to eject sometimes. It's just not a great gun. You can't field strip it. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're really tight on money

      I have an old Haskell JS-45, which is basically the predecessor to the Hi-point. Compared to the JHP-45, the Haskell is all Zamak, has simple fixed cast-in sights, and the slide spring is much much heavier. It has lines that make the Hi-point look svelte.
      The use of relatively soft steel parts for the trigger/sear/striker mechanism (and the fact that they slide directly in the soft zinc) means sticking and galling makes the trigger pull wildly unpredictable, ranging from about 8lb to over 25lb (that's where my scale maxed out). It's theoretically plenty accurate, but that trigger alone makes it almost useless.
      I think a side-by-side comparison of the two would help Hi-Point owners appreciate that their pistols aren't the worst pistols.

    My son just introduced me to the Hi-point and I have a real respect for the way this pistol handles and how it can be used...AND it's endurance. I can't believe the way you handled this Hi-point. No matter what you did to it it still shot for you even after THROWING IT a number of times!
    I suggest you respect this TANK of a gun that consistently fires where other pistols would have failed.

    I've been telling people this forever. Nothing wrong with Hi-Point as a brand, other than maybe less-than-stellar QC.
    Buy a Hi-Point, take it to the range with a few hundred rounds of ammo, and torture the damn thing. If it survives, you've got a gun that'll last as long as you take care of it. If it doesn't, well guess what Hi-Point as a brand offers a LIFETIME WARRANTY. Send the gun back to them, they will repair or replace it for you. Tell them what you were doing they might even send you a box of ammo, Hi-Point has some of the most responsive customer service in the business, at least in my experiences.

      Hi-Point Firearms it's because others will break before it comes to this extreme. people judge hi point on looks before functionality sadly. personally I don't think glocks look any better and hi point is more reliable. I've jammed plenty of glock and ruger. few m&p. never had a hi point fail even if I tried. I just can't carry them because the size. if hi point can get a good caliber in a small frame then it's game over. hi point pocket pistol ftw. can call it the hi-pint. pint sized tank

Yeah you can throw a glock off of a truck and run over it blah blah blah while it's locked closed as normal. But locked open is unusual and not something even manufacturers consider because people don't typically carry or keep their guns locked back for long periods of time.

    I've actually had a Hi-point C9 fail on me: the firing pin/ejector bent from an overcharged round. Hi point immediately sent me two new pins and a new spring. While I was waiting for it to arrive, I bent the old one back with pliers and the gun began to function correctly again. The real issue with the gun, other than aesthetics and fit and finish, is the trigger, which feels like a bad double action revolver. It's fairly heavy, the pull is long, and there is no way to tell when it will fire.

Sure it isn’t pretty but it fires every time and it shoots better than most 45 ACP pistols including Glocks.

    A real shame that people's opinions are so biased on looks and price points...difficult to dislike a firearm that continues to function thru so many internet torture tests...so now the torture testing involves throwing at steel plates?, can't wait to see how your own favorites fare under the same conditions.

It's like a one way street, my son thinks that the only pistols are HK and GLOCK. I own several different types and models, Why? because that is what having firearms is all about, different types, calipers, semi-autos, or revolvers. My Hi-Points are what they have been sold to be, a good, safe, reliable, tough firearm that doesn't empty your wallet to own. Take care of it, it will take care of you.

    I love my hi points. I had to make an adjustment to the magazines, and they worked flawlessly after that. There was a spot in the front of the magazine that held the round pointed down a little bit, which caused them to jam instead of chamber. After the adjustment, they worked great. The guns were great. The magazines needed a bit of an adjustment. That little bit of jiggle when you shake it is a counterweight that prevents it from going off if you drop it. I suspect a Glock would do the same thing if you threw it at the target. Hi Point would probably fix it for free, since they have the best warranty in the industry.

  • @andyappleton3353

    Hi-Point was my first handgun. Yes, it was bulky, heavy, and a little awkward, but it was utterly reliable, in my experience. Great entry level gun, great inexpensive gun. Took the rear sight completely off, so I sighted it like a shotgun, and it worked really well. Thats how I learned ftont sight focus. I kept blurring ine or the other, so I eliminated the distraction. Just put the dot where you want the hole, and squeeze. No sniper quality hits, but good enough for self defense. Maybe not in the x ring, but definitely the vitals every time.

    I’ve owned my Hi Point C9 9mm for three years and use it for my everyday carry. I’ve fired over 2000 rounds out of it and never had a jam or misfire, just kept it clean and oiled as every tool should be and it will preform well for you.
    I probably will not be stupid and throw it at an iron plate.

    My very first firearm was a High Point C-9 and it functioned flawlessly.

    Hi-point should be praised for arming those who don’t have the funds for adequate self defense. They are not trying to be glock or sig, so comparing them is unfair.

    It’s not the quality of the gun, it’s the experience of the marksman.

    the throwing defenetly looks like it does more damage than the shooting.... interesting 🤔

    All these videos are actually making me want to buy one of these. Everybody seems to hate this gun even though they seem to shoot fairly accurately. It's almost like there's a jealousy thing going on with it because of the price. I already own a bunch of guns and have sold guns in the past but we never sold the hi-point.

    It's difficult to take you seriously when you throw the weapon. Therefore, I won't.

      huh, funny you mention those, I used to own one, my dad bought it and tried to make it a good car or a "rat rod gremlin" as he put it, only ever drove it once or twice.

      I think we shouldn't hate the Pinto. The thing hates itself so much that it tries to self-immolate on a regular basis. I think that should be enough

    5 shots on the target from 7 yards = not great? That was a pretty good group IMHO.
    The 4 shots not on the target is obviously the tool behind the tool

  • @MrRustyDowell

    The amount of damage to that weapon did not come from throwing at that target and with that being said only an idiot would treat any weapon that way.
