    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.

My buddy has a $1000 Kimber that’s the most beautiful single shot 1911 I’ve ever seen. I’m typing this with a $200 Taurus on my hip that’s had over 1000 rounds through it since Christmas with no malfunctions. Will it 10,000 rounds?

    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.

    When I worked at the store in Kentucky, there were a few people that would buy these because they were cheap.
    I tried to steer them away from them, but usually I couldn’t sway them.
    Some guys were “I just want something to throw in my fishing boat”.
    They’re very awkward feeling. The polymer feels cheap. I’d never buy one.
    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 just want something to throw in my fishing boat”. And that makes perfect sense to a lot of guys. You want "something", but you also don't want to risk dropping a $500 gun in the lake. Of course, on the other hand, if you were to "need" a pistol on the water....

    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.
