As a gunsmithing student, we at the school often make Hi-point the butt of a lot of jokes, but in all seriousness, even though I dont like Hi-point pistols, I can definitely respect them. When I was at SHOTShow 2020, I made it over to the Hipoint booth to see the progress on the new YC-9 G2 they've been working on for a little while. And I have a lot of respect for the rep who openly stated, "We aren't trying to compete with Sig or S&W, we want to give people who can't afford those more expensive pistols a fair chance to protect themselves and their families. Not everyone can afford to drop 500, 600, 900 dollars on a high end pistol. We set a goal for price, 200 dollars for example, and we work our asses off to make as nice a pistol as possible for that price. And as technology improves, what were once expensive additions, can be cheap standard features."

I don't know when the debate is gonna end on this gun. The bottom line is, those of us who like them because we own and shoot them, know that they're decent guns for the price point. The detractors and other assholes who won't shut up about this can only ever bring up the same moot argument over and over again. They criticize the very manufacturing qualities of the firearm for the very reasons that make it inexpensive. I am kinda tired of hearing it.

Growing up, my parents didnt have alot of extra money. We got by just fine, but my Dad couldnt go out and drop over $500 on a gun just because he wanted to. The only guns he had was a single shot 12 gauge, a .30-30 bolt gun, a marlin .22 autoloader and a Hi-Point C9. He never cleaned the Hi-Point and as far as i can remember he never had anymore than 1 or 2 malfunctions in it in about 18 years. He still has the Hi-Point and now that him and my mom have a little more extra money he was able to get himself some nicer guns. He still shoots that Hi-Point from time to time with his buddies as a joke. Moral of the story is: if a Hi-Point is all you can reasonable afford, thats still better than nothing at all

I work at a large firearms retailer that sells about 50 Hi-Points a month. Surprisingly we don't see very many come back to be sent for repair compared to the Taurus millennium, M&P Shields, Kahrs, or even little Ruger LCP's. I think the main difference though is the average hipoint owner might run 200 rounds (of .45acp @ $0.35 a round equating to 1/3 the value of the gun) through the gun IN THEIR LIFETIME than the 200 rounds an average person will put through the gun in one range session. The Hi-points that do come back are from people attempting to make them full auto, people that didn't read the disassembly instructions and just beat the slide off the frame, or ones the are trying to load .45 Long Colt in their .45 ACP.

I'd like to say how much I hate the gun and how terrible it is. It is everything everyone hates- it's ugly, it's heavy, it's ugly, but it shoots a bullet straight. If i shoot it enough to get used to the trigger, I can do as good with it as any other pistol. I have nicknamed it 'moped' because I love to shoot it but I don't want my friends to see me with it.

That's been pretty much my experience with my c9 as well. It really doesn't need a thorough in the field cleaning. After a few hundred rounds then at that point you should probably take it home and take it apart to clean it. But I haven't had any serious failures with it, even the few failures after a hundred rounds are when the slide gets a bit gummed up and you have to just slap it forward. No stove pipes or deformed shells, and I have put more than a thousand rounds through it.

Thank You sir, for the honest review!! I appreciate it very much. I know this video is kinda old - but what the hell... The 1st pistol I ever bought was a 45acp Hi-Point JHP. Several years ago I was at a gun store with my son-in-law. I didn't know much about pistols at all. He bought a used 45acp $550+ Glock, which to me is just a lot of money!! While there, I saw the Hi-Point on the bottom shelf - It was 45acp too!! New and less than $200 out the door!! I did put a better rear sight on it and am now quite familiar with it. At the range shooting with my friends, I usually get a LOT of negative comments - But I shoot just as good as most and better than some!! I got into reloading (because of this cheap pistol) and have run over 5,000 rounds through my Hi-Point and it's still working fine. BUT it certainly is showing some wear. And one thing I don't think you mentioned is the lifetime warranty. I'll probably run a few thousand more rounds through my JHP and then I will send it back to get refurbished. Several times I have run 400-500 rounds through it in one day. I must admit - The main reason I keep shooting my Hi-Point is because of how much others hate it. Shooting better than some of the gun-snobs I know is SO satisfying!! Buying this cheap Hi-Point helped me to get very interested in shooting and reloading. I even have an FFL now. And yes, I've sold a lot of Hi-Points!! (-: Love your KZbin Videos!!

My first pistol was the 45 HP to, wish I still had it. It was one of the first off the line. Didnt keep it long. But this year bought a 40sw for 169.00 plus tax new. Made in America, for the avrege person to protect their family. It blows my mind about all the negative slack they receive. Plus lifetime warranty WOW.

This will be the year I stary supporting it financially as well. Thanks, Pau.l You bring a lot to the firearms community.

All the Hi-Point reviews I've seen done tend to conclude pretty much the same thing. It's a handgun that will function reasonably well... but... they're big, ugly, and field stripping can be a challenge as can finding a proper holster. Despite being a pistol that just plain WORKS, this isn't a handgun one would choose for conceal-carry but just the same, could be used for home protection or as a "knock around" handgun. Even with my limited budget I chose NOT to buy one, instead choosing a Glock 19. That was ten years ago and I absolutely love it.

A few years ago I bought a new H-P .45 from a pawn shop, $45, because the owner hates them. I did what Paul suggested, took it apart and cleaned/lubed it, it wasn't dirty, being new, but it needed a lube. That powder coat they use is sort of random and thick in spots and needed sanding or wear. To that end I also worked the slide like 2,000 times over a month. Then I got some ammo that I liked the reviews of and seemed like a reasonable round for me to carry in this weapon. Remington Golden Saber HPJ, GS45APB Hollow Point 230 grain. A good amount of it. I went to my local range, got laughed at, but sighted it in so I felt confident with it. I've had it for three years now and have put a few thousand rounds down lane. Never had any issues after initial sighting. I do have much better guns, but I trust this one just as much. Can't say I love anything about it except that trust.

Another outstanding video. Again you showed your professionalism by not doing what many others on you tube have done. down graded the gun and anyone that happens to own one. Not everyone can financially justify five hundred to one thousand dollars on a single firearm. what are they to do? do without? i agree if you can afford a better firearm by all means do so. if not this gun would beat an empty hand. i have seen this very gun for sale in my hometown for as little as $159.00 dollars. not much more than an average .22 rifle. i used to work for a large gun retailer here in OKC. my manager would berate me for not always pushing SMITH AND WESSON, COLT, BERRETA ALL OF THE TOP LINE MODELS. Well i found not everyone wanted or could afford those pricy guns. so a lot of my sales were TAURUS, CHARTER ARMS ROCK ISLAND, guns of that genre. although i did my share of the top line firearms. When our sales tallies for the month were totaled I consitently outsold all the other retail associates. so after all is said and done i suppose the moral is a gun in the hand is better than nothing. again thanks for another fine presentation.

A couple of things. First, in the hipoint manual, it says to run a large number of rounds before breaking it down for complete cleaning. Just run a snake through it and a dab of oil after shooting. You can actually send it to Hipoint and they will break it down, clean it and send it back if you like. Secondly, it's a gun you can buy new for less than $200 out the door. It performs exactly as designed and adverised, goes bang for cheap.

Hi Paul I've been a subscriber of yours for some time. I really enjoy your content. I just watched your Hi point video. I like what you had to say. However I have owned a few hi points over the years. 1 I purchased for 60 dollars. The one thing you didn't mention about hi point is the service you get from hi point firearms. They are phenomenal. I ordered several replacement springs, and even a firing pin. All of this for a used weapon. I didn't even have to pay shipping. They friendly and very helpful. Also they have a lifetime guarantee even on a second hand firearm. And they stand behind it. I think with proper training you can be very well defended by a hi point. Anyway I really enjoy your videos please keep up the good work. Kevin Ferguson

I bought a Hi Point 45 acp. about 4 years ago. In that time I have had only one malfunction. Failure to feed and it was cheap ammo. I switched to Remington and have not had any problem. I bought because at the time I was short of funds and did not see that changing any time soon. No it is not a good carry gun. No it is not pretty. Yes it is heavy. Yes it is bulky. Yes it is made with cheap material. It does shoot though and I can shoot it as accurately as I can any other hand gun. It is prefect for what I use it for. It stays on the night stand at night and in the seat of the truck during the day . If stolen I am not out a lot of money. Would I rather have a Colt 1911? Sure but I would not carry it in my truck because of the investment I would have to make.

I don't think the warranty on mine is valid as I got it for $125 at a gun show with a strange conversion kit that makes it look a bit like a Beretta Storm. It's fairly rusty. I've never bothered cleaning it, and it functions great, even with steel cased ammo. It's a very reliable weapon.

Paul speaks about the functionality of the .45 High Point, when I first bought one of these High Point .45s, Gander Mountain was first introducing them, and they were 100 bucks! I thought, well .45 for 100 bucks? Its obviously a peice of junk, but what the hell. I bought a bunch of .45 rounds and proceeded to put the gun through its paces with function and accuracy. At 0-25 yards it proved to be accurate enough for personal defense, of course could I trust it with my life as far as functioning when I needed it to? Without cleaning it once, I sent over 1500 rounds through it over the next few months. It stove piped once. I cleared it, and continued to put another 500 or so rounds through it without one function issue. Then I just decided after that I clean it. I still have it, and it still remains reliable every time I shoot it. But say what you want. Its all I could afford

The Hi Point is not a handgun I'd consider. It's a huge pistol, alleged to having a long and rough trigger pull. For personal protection, I want a better trigger pull. I've got neighbors, and I don't like the idea of a .45ACP as a bedside weapon, because that heavy bullet has enough power to penetrate walls. I want less muzzle flash because I intend to shoot more than once. But, I am sympathetic towards shooters who have to stay within budget, like married folks. For home defense, it might be more suitable to buy a used handgun of better design and quality, rather than a cheaply made new handgun.

Police, military and citizens alike love them for being inexpensive, reliable, with loads of upgrades and accessories available. HiPoint is junk by comparison, but some people are poor, so it is a good gun for somebody who just needs a reliable brick for 120 bucks. That said, I'd suggest if they can so much as double that, loads of cheap, compact double action revolvers are better for self defense and even more reliable. Simple to use too

"A Hipoint in hand is BETTER than a Glock on backorder." Damn straight!!!

I started with a Hi-point .45 about 20 years ago after the subject of a police manhunt in my neighborhood tried to get in my house. Since, I have acquired other firearms but for what it is, the Hi-point is more than sufficient. I don't know of anyone who wants what I have bad enough to volunteer to shot by it or volunteer to have a couple of hundred pounds dogs as fashion accessories.

My best friend bought a high point .45, it has a better trigger than my Glock 21, and it is at least as accurate, if not more accurate than my Glock. If a high point is all you can afford, more power to you!

Dave Boothney you lost me at “better trigger then a Glock,” most matchlocks have better triggers than glocks.

Update on my JCP45 Have had for 4 years now and 0 issues using Ball and Hornady critical defense ammo...It is a crude firearm fun to take to the range...It is a keeper as with my other Higher end guns if i had to grab for self defense i would have no qualms using this to defend myself as a House self defense firearm!!😊❤❤

Upside, whenever you need ANYTHING done to your Hi-Point you can send it in and they'll take care of it free of charge. Anecdote, I've sent my .40 in several times and they've often sent me a new mag ... to the point where I put a note in the box thanking them but asking that they don't send me anymore. I've put thousands of rounds through it and it's my go-to "truck gun". I checked, I currently have 15 mags for the .40 Hi-Point.
