These days "they tend to work" is far from a given for many types of products.
The purpose of the Hi-Point 9mm is not to make everything easy, or to impress people at the range. It's not designed to compete against Glock, or s&W, or Walther, or any other handgun company. The purpose of the Hi-Point pistol is to allow someone who is really low on money to be able to get a relatively dependable pistol for self-defense. Period.

You know, I was a gun snob who denigrated Hi-Points without ever having owned, let alone, shot one. Made fun of Hi-Point owners. Then, I watched a number of videos done by Matt Carriker of Demolition Ranch, where he attempted to destroy/blowup Hi-Points with various barrel obstructions, and even after shooting them. All Matt accomplished was to demonstrate that Hi-Points can withstand an amazing amount of abuse... deliberate abuse... and keep working. That opened my mind about them, and when I saw a Hi-Point carbine for sale at amazing price, I took the plunge. After that, I picked up the Hi-Point 10mm, and when the 2nd Gen Yeet Cannon came out, well of course I had to get that one too! The only weakness I have come across with my Hi-Points is their magazines. If you've got good mags, Hi-Points will never fail you.

Having said that, their carbines work well, and couldn’t keep one in the store. I’ve had people drive 100 miles to get a carbine. If they made them glock mag compatible, they’d have a pretty good setup. They’re made in Ohio mostly. I’ve heard prisoners at Mansfield prison make some of the components, but not 100% sure on that.

I bought a hippint 380 brand new for $99 12 years ago or so. I have never had an issue with it and it is actually accurate.
I had a c9 and had an issue not feeding. Polished the feed ramp and put around 500rds through with no issue. Gave to my nephew years ago and as far as I know it’s still going. Also made in USA and do have great warranty department. I’ve seen videos of guys completely abusing (like dragging behind truck) sending it in and they rebuilt for only shipping charges.

Chunky slightly heavy but it is reliable. I carry 1 in every vehicle with 2spare mags(10 rounders). I ran 20,000 rds through a new one with out an issue before cleaning it😮😮😮 . Dependable they are. And High Point service is the tops and service.😊
I have a 9mm pistol and carbine and a .45 pistol and carbine. If one uses the weapon, cleans it and lubricates it will work fine. At our age the slide is more difficult to work than for younger people.
Any pistol that I carry had a throat and feed job done. Almost all malfunctions can be cured this way. My S&W 669 will feed empty brass and has never had a malfunction.
About five years ago, Rural Kings had the Taurus G2C on sale with a rebate the price was $155. Over a thousand round of about anything you can imagine. Not a single malfuntion yet. Got to say, much better than a Hi-Point at the same price.

With how chunky Hi-points are, I always thought they should make one where the whole top of the slide is just 1913 rail. Mount a scope, full size rifle red dot, or IR laser...whatever you need. I honestly think people would buy it just for the giggles.
I would fiddle with that rear sight to get it to shoot straight.
Very nice starter piece, especially for a budget. Shoots straight, become a club when empty, and if it gets stolen, it’s a hiPoint.

It was too close because.the bullet shatters when shooting hard steel targets and bullet fragments bounce off you don't want to be near it when it does
The are not sleek, sexy, ergonomic, it's heavy, the triggers suck, the safety system is awkward BUT it shoots shockingly well in terms of accuracy, it is ridiculously rugged, eats anything you feed it, economical for those who can't afford a higher end firearm, and it goes bang every single time. It functions better than the two Glocks I had that were jam-o-matics and no longer own because of it. Do I carry a HP for EDC? Absolutely not. but at the end of the day HP has a legitimate place in the market.
Just a note to say I appreciate your videos, they’re very informative and interesting! Thank you!
I worked at a gun shop and we were a dealer for Hi-Point. We were in a poorer area, and they were easily our biggest seller.

So, the Hi-Point is a gun that does everything it is supposed to do and has a lifetime warranty, but it is too cheap for you ?? Just send Hi-Point a couple of hundred bucks more and it will suddenly become a good gun ????????????
"Generally speaking, they work!" should be Hi-Point's advertising slogan...
Hi-Point used to and maybe still does in the manual, tells you to send it back for cleaning after 5000 rounds. They don't intend for it to be field stripped and cleaned. Just spray it down and keep going.
When Demolition Ranch tortured this gun to the point of putting a round into the chamber, and the gun still fired, we decided to put a carbine on the wishlist...the pistols do not interest us (I'll be honest, the 'Yeet Cannon' does, just because it has 'Yeet Cannon' in nice big letters on the slide), but there are a lot of us satisfied with the carbines...yes, the guns a big and heavy...yes, they tend to work...yes, find brand new any better at the price...it is NOT my problem when my cheap gun rings steel right beside a very expensive gun doing the same thing, umm, the bullets cannot tell the difference...
Hi-points have always seemed parallel to a disposable camera.
One thing of a positive note is it would make a good blunt force weapon when it jams or runs out of ammo
I jave one ,it was cheap its heavy and its accurate as hell,i have the JHP45.
I've never liked them,but there price point is acceptable.

The HK VP-70 Z is the first polymer handgun and its leaps and bounds better than the High Point. It was also originally full auto.

Best thing about a Hi-Point? You can use it as a club when your low count magazine runs dry or it jams up in a firefight. Haha!
0.46 sec of the video “general speaking they “hi-point” tend to work” 😂😂😂 best statement for a gun review I’ve ever heard. Hilarious
Funny how dude fumbles around with the pistol like the "before" guy on a kitchen gadget infomarcial.

He acts like he 's never racked a slide before. Weird, I have no problem with my C9.

Yes looks like he had issues racking slide...think he knows better....
'Tends to feed rounds from time to time' biggest selling point, impressive for such a brick
I've had a problem with weak magazine springs, resulting in a failure to feed, failure to extract, and a double feed.
I have two high points and they work fine for me I have no issues at all with them. Thats all I can say. I did not pay for perfection. But I have those too.
Hickok has super powers and can even make a hipoint function

The ones I’ve seen function fine, just freakin huge and awkward.
Imagine the bad guy realizing he got shot by a good guy with a Hi Point. Once they are taken apart a couple of times, they get easier to take apart.
Yup, they always work. 1911's 3x price dont work unless you put another 700 in smithing
“ This one will cost you your pride”. Lmao. It’s been proven over and over again if your chamber a round in a High Point, it will fire.
Hi Point was my first firearm. I've come a long way since then, but they still make a decent "truck gun" that you can keep in your glove box and not be too concerned if it were to get stolen. Their carbines are fun. The thing is that since I bought mine a dozen years ago or so, other quality options have become available at very reasonable prices (thinking of Taurus, specifically, but there are others as well).
It's been a few years ago now, I was wasting time on the internet when I came across a group that was discussing Hi Point guns. At that time I'd never heard of them. It seems that half the group thought they were good for boat anchors only and the other half thought they were the finest handguns ever made. I had to have one. I called the gun shop I usually dealt with, Bills Guns in Gretna, VA and was told " we have one but if you want it you'd better get it today" When I got there they told me they couldn't keep them on the shelves. I got the gun and a nice paddle holster for $145.00. I "tested" that gun for a couple years( this was back when you could afford ammo) and after all my testing here are my thoughts: It is as reliable as most any 9mm, I've had few jams with it when using brass cased ammo. It really doesn't like steel cased. It's as accurate as I am. It's ugly as sin, looking more like a cordless drill than a handgun. It's heavy. I carried it a couple days, I don't want to do that again. For all the talk about how hard it is to take down and reassemble, I don't think it's that bad. I'd much rather take it apart than my Ruger 22/45. Overall it's not nearly as bad as some might make it out to be. I think it would make a perfectly good nightstand gun until something better could be afforded. That said it's buried in the back of my safe, I haven't felt the urge to shoot it in a long time.
When i see that cyber tesla i think man it looks like a hi point 😂😂

Just saw one two days ago pulling a jet ski on trailer. That thing is ugly for sure.
Like my hi-points, thanks 😊
Dang Hickok, been awhile for me... those black steel varmints are really taking over your range! At this point, you should tune them to a chromatic scale and play us a song with lead on steel 😂
I can't believe you said PPK and Hi point in the same sentence. :) Rock on Hick!
A big plus, when you smoke pot, you can imagine the high point being a glock, sig, ruger etc...
poor man special
"generally, they work." Just what I want in a firearm...LOL.
Well, most of us come here for Hickok45's opinion. It is good enough for me. I dont need to hear anybody else.
worst gun ever?? "Blah blah heavy, Other then that, it's a great gun" - Hickock The reason gunsnobs hate on the c9 is the price. It's hard to justify spending big money on a fancy 9mm pistol when the hipoint sells new for under $💯

I just bought a G3C for $200. Holds 12+1 or 15+1 and doesn’t have the difficulties this seems to have had. If this is all you can get your hands on then sure, it’ll be fine.
Guy's with all do respect, Hickok45's having trouble with the Hi-Point did not seem to be a problem with the gun. Maybe he did not like the gun and was trying to show that it was hard to work with. Don't get me wrong I have been following Hickok45 for years, I like him. But I have owned 4 of this Hi-Point gun and have not had a problem with any of them, not any problems.
I Love This Man’s Videos! Original and no edits .. oh and he’s not trying to be the next John wick
My sons learned to shoot pistols with Hipoints. 1000s of rounds, gun show crap ammo. No issues. Take apart? Why? Ain’t cleaning those.
Those things just work…period.

Nah , Glocks are ok
Had Hi point 9 back in 1995. It was throwing the bullets sideway after few years. I do have HI Point 9mm carbine which is awesome.
The pistols are real sensitive to limp wristing. Whitch is a problem since they are often recommended to new shooters as a first gun.
Those of you that think a Highpoint is junk. It it was pointing at your face, how confident are you that it wouldn't work?
Better than the single shot the army made in WWII!

Hey, it'll punch a hole. The worst gun is the one you need but don't have.
That sccy is worse than the highpoint and highpoints are lifetime guarantee.I’d trust a highpoint over a sccy for sure
Bad or not i would have one ,live in the uk the way things are going here i think it would be a life saver!!!!
