I wish more guntubers were like you - no trying to be "cool" or an "influencer." Just straight-shooting, honest and not taking yourself so seriously all the time.
100% agree with you here. Some channels are unwatchable with their uber "tacticle" attitudes and sometimes condescending way of talking. Mixup is a man of the people type of person and someone I'd love to spend a day at a range with.
This channel is refreshing. I’ve unsubscribed from all those tacti”cool” guntubers with their combat vests, tactical language, unnecessary gloves, sunglasses (who shoots with sunglasses on????) and exclusive attitudes.
I'm pretty sure the Hi-Point still has a lifetime warranty. About 20 years ago I bought a used 995 and I sent it into Hi-Point. They inspected it, replaced the worn parts and sent it back. All I had to pay was shipping. IMHO, that's a darn good warranty!
My 4595 carbine randomly blew up. I called them expecting nothing and they said wow I'm impressed send it in and we will get you a brand new one free. They literally melted the zymac receiver down and sent me a new one through fed ex with the same serial number. Whole brand new gun they covered shipping and everything for me.
I had a mag spring issue on my 995 TS Carbine and they sent me 3 new springs and an extra mag, that's quality customer service, no other manufacturer offers it.
@@williamkowalchik572 yeah, that may be but these folks STILL don't flinch. as stated above, all you gotta do is send them the remains and they'll handle it. i know a guy who found an original 995 carbine in a pawn shop in ROUGH condition. he sent it in and they sent him back a completely restored weapon in something like 4 weeks.
These are a lot better than people think. They are definitely not for the gun connoisseur. But for someone on a budget who needs a firearm for self-defense, this is definitely a good option.
I would say they’re not for the gun *snobs, not connoisseurs. Most people who say they “hate” them 1) have never shot one, and 2) are narcissists who have to show off their high-dollar “designer” guns to everybody anywhere they go, and look down their noses at anyone who doesn’t have an equally-expensive range toy. I have an expensive handgun that is more accurate than the JHP45, but if it isn’t surgically clean it is not reliable. It also is extremely picky about ammo. Knowing that, I would NOT trust it for self defense. I CAN and DO trust the JHP45 for *home* defense. I love it, but it’s a bit heavy for EDC. But if it was all I had, I’d find a way to carry it.
they'll never win a beauty pageant, but that's kind of the appeal to me. sexy/tricked out guns tend to go missing, and even if the hi point does..... i'm only out $180 as opposed to $600+
I'm a "connoisseur", and i like Hi Point, as i like AK's. I like what they are, and why they are: great weapons who makes the job done, affordable for everyone.
I very glad that an American gun manufacturer can make an affordable weapon. For those that don't have much money can have a chance to protect themselves or families. Thx for making these videos.
I have been shooting a 45acp Hi-Point model JH (not JHP) since the early 1990s. My pistol was gifted to me by an uncle. It has been accurate, durable, and reliable.
I have to agree with you on this one .. While they aren't my first choice for a pistol, they work.. and if you don't have much in the way of money .. they are at least giving you something that does what they say it will do for not a lot of dollars.
... about six years ago I was at a local range and a guy in the lane to my right was shooting a .45 acp Hi Point. During a time we both were loading mags I asked him about the Hi Point, he liked it a lot, pointed good and was fairly accurate. He said it was his bedside gun, and I remarked that using an inexpensive pistol for home defense was a good idea especially since, if he had to use it, it won't break the bank if it is confiscated by the police. He told me that's his plan, and he knows all too well about the pistol being taken by the police since he was a Deputy Sheriff in my town! ...
I have three Hi Point pistols. 9mm , 10mm JXP, and the 380 cf. They all work great and are super reliable. I enjoy them all. Hi Point is a great American made product! Thanks for making great content for regular people. Your channel is my go-to for reliable advice. Keep up the good work!
Good morning Dan. I love making these videos and comments like yours really make my day. I appreciate the compliment and I hope to keep making these videos for many years.
Cosigned by a Navy Corpsman , I have a Hi-Point 9 mm carbine , a Remington 870 , and this .45 acp on the video. for home defense. If you break in my house, you won't get out alive, I promise. My carry is a Charter Arms 5 shot 38 special. I keep it simple and spent less than $1000 for home and personal safety for my family. Don't listen to these gun snobs. Hi Points are good guns , they are reliable and will save your life just fine . -Former HM2 USN Blueside/ Greenside.
I recently unsubscribed to three well known gun channels I have watched for years, because they were basically getting their guns from suppliers, and their videos were the same thing week to week. You will notice I am still subscribed to you because of all the guns you show. Keep up the good work my friend !
@BertReno you mean to tell me that every gun trigger doesn't have "a little bit of take up, and then a crisp, clean break?" I stopped with him for the same reason. Oh, and for the olight infomercials.
@@dangerdylan5005 Let's say I do eat eggplant, and I think Furbees are too cute to shoot. I still watch Hickok, Plinkster, and Mix-up of course. I just unsubscribed to a few, but may still watch them at times.
Thanks for doing these update reviews on firearms. So many people do a first impression review only. Which can be valuable info for choosing a new firearm to purchase, however a lot of guns break down or malfunction much quicker than others , which is useful to know!
Because of your first video review of this weapon, I went out and bought the same one and I have to admit that I love the damn thing. I paid $36 for it... The shipping cost more then the weapon! Hell, the spare mags cost more then the weapon. The other reason I bought it in .45 is due to my dad passing away and he left me a spam can of Russian .45 acp ammo and I didn't own a gun that fired it. Problem solved! The gun became my yard weapons cache gun after I had a home intruder gain access to my home after Hurricane Ian and I was not able to get to the room where I store my weapons. Remember folks, It's a tool that was designed to solve a problem. No one cares what a hammer looks like, just as long as it get's the job done.
Always good to see you out shooting, it's been way too cold and windy out here . My buddy bought one of the 45 hi-point when we went to a local shop . He got it a case and 50 rounds of target ammo for $100. He's had the gun now 5 years with no issues, and he bought the 45 carbine as well . Thanks for taking us out with you
I like all guns...I own a variety all the way from Wilson and Baer down to SCCY and Taurus. If a gun does what it is supposed to...that's what matters. I have had some cheap guns perform better than some expensive gun's. I see you have an open mind as well. Glad to see another vid from you.
My son and I really do enjoy making these videos, although he was at work when I made this Hi-Point video. I am honored to have my channel in your top 5 and my son and I thank you very much for watching our videos. Have a great Sunday.
You may not have the biggest gun channel, but for this enthusiast, it's the best one. Gotta love your son's relaxed way of shooting, sitting back, legs crossed, bullseye! Regarding the Hi-Point, if it came with sling attachments, it would be a consideration. Too heavy for this gun toter.
Have owned a C9 for about 10yrs but did make a big improvement on it. Now has a set of skull grips for a little bling. They have nice sets for the 45 also. Thanks guys & stay safe! 🇺🇸🙏👍🎯
I bought one ..bout a year and a half ago...used the stock mag for a while...then got the mod for a 1911 mag... This gun is really awesome...prob 800 - 1000 rounds reloads and factory.....never a problem.....when my wife and i go to the range it's her preferred gun. She loves it ! Thumbs up to Hi Point on this one !!
I have wanted to buy a hipoint just to scratch that curiosity. My wife is pissed, but I am about to go pick up a JHP 45. I have been hearing nothing but good things about the reliability of it. Gonna take it toe to toe against my favorite handgun ever.
It definitely cannot hold up to my favorite handgun. But I did just take the Hi Point out and was grouping very well. Half the rear sight is missing but my grouping was great. My wife is still pissed
Gotta give them credit for making cheap reliable guns in the US. I’m done buying Hi-points (I know famous last worlds) but I really appreciate your honest testing, and just about everyone who buys these to crap in them is surprised that they run and don’t die. Lots of torture testing has proved they’re durable even though they’re ugly and blocky
I got my wife the .380 and myself the 9mm for our first handguns. They were a great introduction into handguns. Low recoil and dependable but heavy. We didn't know any better at the time. Sold both of them and moved up to smaller/lighter handguns. No regrets.
You have a very good channel, fun to watch and you add some bloopers, honest reviews good or bad, I like the point that you do more low budget arms and not the High $$ that regular working guys can't afford, heck I like your pawn shop finds as well. keep up the great work
I like your style! No pretentious BS!!! I like the fact that you didn't "Dawg" the carbine before you even shot it like most folks do and even picked up a JHP 45 too!!! 90% of the Hi Points reviews start off with people who act like they'll catch tha Clap if they touch one! I've had mine for 12 years or so and I still trust it! It's no longer my GO TO gun on bed stand but I still shoot it with no problems and IF I needed it, I would grab it without fear!
I'm a gun nut and I love almost all guns, especially guns that are reliable, accurate and affordable. I'm glad to hear that you have owned your Hi-Point for 12 years and you still trust it. I would like mention that you have subscribed to my channel for eight years and I really appreciate it.
@@mixup98 Good Times.... I appreciate You and Jr's hard work and knowledgeable yet laid back approach. The back stories of your guns and experiences are cool too!
I’ll be honest I don’t like Hi Points but I love your channel; plus, we get to see the beautiful southern Nevada. Thank you for making these honest, regular American videos that people can relate to more than the tactical drills and action.
Really enjoy your videos; very upbeat, practical and informative from an “everyman” perspective (which is to say that you shoot and review guns I actually own or would buy)!
Another great video sir! I remember your first video on this amazing piece and went out and bought one to have fun at the range with. I now have the upgraded version and it acts as my tractor gun. Thank you to you and your son for this one!
Nice to see a reviewer that doesn't hate a Hi Point just because its a Hi Point. Give it a fair chance like anything else. Review the gun and if its junk, say so but if its a solid gun, then say so. I have a Hi Point C-9 I bought a few years ago as a boat gun and have been very impressed. Yep, it's a little heavy but it's more accurate than I am and it goes bang every time I pull the trigger and eats whatever I feed it. Prettiest gun on the market,......probably not but it does what its supposed to do........every time so far. Thanks for the review. Great job!
Appreciate the honest review. I did have one for a while. I used it for work doing wetlands management with a good bit of kayaking, canoeing and wader work. So it didn't bother me to carry it in nasty conditions and if somehow it was lost it wouldn't be as much of an expense. It ran everything factory I put in it. But it was somewhat finicky with handloads. Thank you.
I've enjoyed your channel for years because you always give good,honest reviews.The JHP has been on my radar for a while now,,would make an excellent garage gun.
I noticed that you have been a subscriber to my channel for eight years. That's awesome....thank you! Don't tell anyone but I also keep mine in my garage 👍😎
@@mixup98 the garage is a guy's "home away from home."I guess we keep a lot of stuff there that isn't mentioned.Keep the video's coming,always enjoy them.
Happy to be one of your members. I like the fact that you (and your son!) review guns for the regular guy (and gal) to use and have fun with. And you're not full of yourself... Just an honest guy. Thanks for that.
I know it sucks to buy your own guns but that is one reason I like your channel. Viewers don't have to worry about corporate 'influence'. When I see you have a new video up, I'll usually make the time to watch it b/c of this. What's good about this pistol is if you use it in home defense. "Officer, here is the gun I used when the bad guy broke in. You need to take it in for evidence?" 'Uh, is that a Hi Point? Nah, you keep it and we'll reach out if we need you to bring it in'.
I thoroughly enjoy your no nonsense videos! Thanks for a great approach and your honesty. I do the same thing on my channel, and I need to get some more videos up. I'm extremely grateful for my Hi-Point 45 and am very surprised that even though the trigger is rough, I'm very accurate with it. Same thing with my 9mm carbine, and I recently bought a 10mm pistol. I'm confident it will be as accurate as my other 2. Have a great week, and keep the great videos coming!
When you really think about it a gun is just a tool . We want it to be reliable , reasonably accurate , and with enough power to get the job done . I think you've demonstrated that the Hi-Point you're reviewing does all that .. I don't presently own one but I don't see where you can go wrong especially given what they cost . Great video , thanks so much !
I can't speak to the other popular UA-cam channels other than to say that it is your channel that is concise clear accessible well presented with high production value. The information provided is on point particularly to those who are not necessarily well versed with firearms. It is your channel that I look for.
I have the 9mm c9 and the 40cal JHP. The 9mm had a lot of hiccups with the first two mags I put through it , after that it’s been 100%. The JHP has been 100% since the first magazine. I think they are great truck guns, boat guns, or anywhere you need a reliable gun , but don’t what to use an expensive one to rust or get beaten up. My wife actually prefers the 9mm C9 to more expensive handguns we own. She keeps it in the nightstand on her side of the bed. I love the fact that Highpoint keeps making new stuff like their 10 mm and updating their old designs. They kind of follow the Palmetto State Armory motto about making less expensive firearms so everyone can afford one.
Subscribed to your channel today because I watched the Hi Point review. I bought the Hi Point 45 ten years ago and everyone said they jammed but I bought anyway. I took it out and fired it and on the second shot it jammed so I put it on the shelf and there it has sat for 10 years. Your review may have me take it off the shelf, oil it and try it again. Thanks!
It's not going to win the sexiest gun of the year award, but the darn thing looks like it shoots pretty good and it's really reliable. What more could you ask for less than $200? I'd say it's a winner. Great video!
Hi-Points just work and they serve an important slice of the market. It's better than nothing and that's all it needs to be. I like that you shoot everything you can get your hands on, especially affordable guns. You're not some super tacticool bro shooting $4k guns, you're just a guy and his son having fun plinking out in the desert.
I love watching your honest reviews of guns sir, i happen to also own a 45 high point myself and it hasnt given me any problems. Even if it looks ugly and its bulky a lot of people dont like the basic features on the gun. Its primary function to shoot well and cycle well regardless of the grain of the ammunition used for this particular platform pistol. I still shoot my 45 high point every time i head out to the out door gun range. ❤❤
I love my Hi-Points as much as any of my defensive tools. I even like how rhe jhp45 feels and fires better than my g21 knuckle cutter. The 4595 Carbine is my favorite at it's working distances. That said.. I have to point out, and perhaps you're unaware perhaps not.. The Meltology Mountain {melted structures buildings city} in the backdrop is incredible, amazing even. Center frame it looks exactly like the dome of a capital style building and a smaller domed clock\bell style tower to our lower left of it. I'm sure there are some 'caves' and or 'old mines' on that hill, which were halls and rooms etc once, now melted petrified vitrified collapsed and buried in it's own Brick melt and Mud. Love your channel and have been here for nearly all of it. Keep Being yourself and doing good work. Peace Love and Abundant Prosperity to you and yours.
About 12 yrs ago I bought a C9, first semi auto pistol I have owned, since I’ve sorta moved on to Glocks and 1911’s for competition but still got the C9 and picked up a 45 like yours, they still get taken to the range ever so often, they just make me smile
The heavy weight makes it feel like less recoil. If you get a couple of good magazines they are reliable as heck! They aren't my first choice to carry around but for a truck gun or just hacking around at the range with your friends, can't be beat.
@@lloydhills7416 Ruger sucks! I had a super Blackhawk that had been drilled and tapped since the 80s. Ruger said it voided the warranty or any type of repair for that matter. The New England trash talker on the line stated that if the gun was shipped to them they would destroy it because they deemed it unsafe. Buncha lawyers! AND Bill Ruger was an advocate of gun control! Screw Ruger and their overweight cast guns.
Its a fun toy. I saw their new 10mm & its going for less than my cheapest red dot cost! Insane they can even make something half functional at that price point.
Mixup your channel has been top notch from day one...I thank you for the help and great information...Can't say thank you enough..well I have a friend that has the 9mm and he loves it 🤠🤠🤠👏🏻🇺🇸💯
I had the Hi-Point 9mm carbine and loved its accuracy. In fact it was probably one of my most accurate carbines. And yes it was reliable as well. The only reason I got rid of it was because of the lack of options to put accessories that could be put on it.
never had issue with 9mm carbine 995, my only issues were constant jams using the 3 hi-point 9mm manufacture magazines in my hi-point 9mm pistol. As I bought the gun and then 2 additional mags directly from Hi-Point.
I have a 10mm Hi-point carbine. I put the barrel shroud on it, took the iton sites off and put a red dot on. Its ok. I also got the dual magazine holder for the buttstock. I do wish higher capacity mags were available
You've always been straight on a firearm when it comes to reviewing. Very underrated, very enjoyable to watch, AND there's always a few things to be learned.
I love these guys that blast and give great info about what they know about what they have... good, bad or indifferent... the other guys are more for entertainment and info for what is going on in the gun world
I bought this gun 8 years ago, and had only put about 150 rounds through it. I took out today and yes, it’s heavy but it was surprisingly accurate. I ran a total of 200 rounds and had one hang up.
I have the 4595 carbine. It always goes bang! I recently bought a C 9 pistol. Didn't go so well first 50 rounds. I polished the feed ramp on it and 100 rounds ran flawlessly through it then!
Hello Troy. We appreciate the nice comment. Tomorrow my son, his wife and I will be shooting a shotgun video and it should be posted on Friday or Saturday. We hope you enjoy it and we thank you for watching our videos.
Another great video Mixup98! I bought the same pisto, unfortunately mine has been keyholing at about ten yards. Still a fun pistol to take to the range, big and chunky! Appreciate your honest reviews and content.
Great vid Mix! Starts with a beam in AND a Mix rock throw! I bought a HP 9mm compact about a year ago for $90 (probably after watching your vid...), and no, it's not something I would chose to use for defense.....but I could. Has never jammed and hits where I point it. They are truly interesting.
I watched your video from I don’t know how long ago about a ruger 10/22 adaptive tactical stock and I still have the stock and still watch your videos !
You have a great channel! Down to earth reviews and just overall good content for us common folk! That being said, this was a good video for a firearm brand that a lot of people hate, lol. Wouldn't mind seeing you shoot the Hi-Point .45 next to a Colt 1911. You were pretty accurate with this chonker :P
I did a video years ago where I compared a Sig pistol to a Ruger pistol and some viewers criticized me for "comparing apples to oranges" and being unfair to Ruger. I can only imagine the comments if I compare a Colt to a Hi Point. Still, it would be an interesting comparison and I just might do it just for the fun of it, although I'm pretty sure the Colt would win 👍😎
I had a couple of these HP 45's over the years. I hated the first one with a passion.....got another on trade 5 years later and kinda grew to like it, LOL seemed to do the job. You have better accuracy than I had. I still have my 9 and 45 in the carbine. excellent guns.
Oh, yeah. Just gotta get rid of those universal background checks, red flag, and storage laws. Plus, add constitutional carry, and then it'll be perfect.
Great video. I own a 45acp also with 2 extra 14ct mags and their 380 and am totally overjoyed with both. Had for a few yrs now. Put hundreds of bullets through both almost flawless. However the seem to like all types of amo except steel jackets. Will run them but you can see they just don't like ejecting steel. Have had 3 jams but only on steel.
Really enjoy your Hi-Point videos, Mixup, and would love to see you review the Hi-Point dual caliber 10mm auto/.40S&W pistol and carbine. I'm fairly confident they'd become favorites. 👍
I have the exact same Hi-Point pistol and I'm like you it's a great firearm and I've had mine for 10 years now and you are right it will fire any kind of ammo you can put thru it and I paid the same as you did and I don't plan on getting rid of it and I the sad part in the State of Illinois you can't buy the Hi-Point pistols unless it's a used one and that happened one year after I bought mine, but the good thing is we can buy the Hi-Point carbines and I have the 995 TS and it's a great carbine for what I paid for it and I think I paid 260 dollars out the door brand name and I got a great deal on 4 extra magazines for 50 dollars and since I have had it it will fire any ammo thru it and like you said anyone on a budget Hi-Point pistol and carbines are a good starting point, because I'm like a lot of people I'm on a budget and I have different firearms and most are budget friendly and what anyone who is looking for a good firearm Hi-Point is a great start and it has a lifetime warranty on it and if they can't fix it they will send you a new firearm to replace the one they can't fix.
Great video! Thanks for using the ProMag clip. Have three Hi-Points; 9mm, 45ACP, and 10mm. Somewhat bulky but very dependable, reasonably priced, and just simply love them!
I bought the hi-point .45 carbine and it is an amazing bit of fun. I put a reflex sight and muzzle on it and, especially for the money, nothing can touch it for reliability and accuracy. I heard the pistols had reliability issues but am glad to see this refutes that. Great company.
Good video, thanks. I have the hi point in 9mm and it also is very reliable , pretty accurate and a pleasure to shoot because of the weight of the slide...I like it a lot.
My C9 goes bang every time, and the one f2f was on the 2nd mag through it when I had it fully loaded. I backed off to 7 rounds per mag for about a 100 rounds, and now it runs flawlessly loaded all the way. Now I just need to get the carbine to go with it, or get the 45 carbine to go with the Taurus that my mother-in-law gave me after her husband died.
I owned a Hi-Point CF380 for several years. I had to tweak the magazine that came with it but once I did it shot first time, and every time. I bought a second extended magazine and never had a problem with it. Through hundreds of rounds it was perfectly reliable. Hi-point is heavy and homely, but if you're on a limited budget they're a very good option for self defense and target practice. They sure beat the hell out of a sharp stick, lol.
It's good that there are low-cost options out there for people. It may have the ergonomics of a brick, but it will fire every time you pull the trigger. One of my kids recently bought a Tisas 1911 for $299 on sale, just after Thanksgiving. I'll tell you what, I have not seen a better value for the money in a long time. I don't anticipate these pistols staying at that price point for very long, once word gets out on the quality of the materials and machining. I'm not a big fan of the Turkish firearms, but you have to give credit where credit is due.
Out of curiosity, has the trigger gotten any worse over those two years? I don’t own one but I’ve known guys who have and they complain about the trigger too. I’m just wondering if it’s a manufacturing tolerance or wear issue. The wear is likely covered by the warranty, but if tolerances are too loose the cure could be worse than the problem if you see what I mean.
I will admit that the Hi-Point .45 pistol has a spongy trigger pull straight out of the box but an experienced shooter shouldn't have any problems shooting it accurately. I really haven't noticed if the trigger pull has gotten worse over time. I would have to compare mine to a brand new one to verify any changes in the trigger pull.
Aside from the dark realities we face there is another probably larger reason for affordable pieces. Shooting is fun! We do most of the activity with firearms as recreation totally non violent totally stress relief etc. That Zinc Blob is not for me but it is a VERY suitable range piece. Off topic but Pump and Lever Guns are underrated when it comes to SD and Rec shooting. I have .22's that practically blaze if you practice. Lots of fun. Thanks for the show.
I wish more guntubers were like you - no trying to be "cool" or an "influencer." Just straight-shooting, honest and not taking yourself so seriously all the time.
100% agree with you here. Some channels are unwatchable with their uber "tacticle" attitudes and sometimes condescending way of talking. Mixup is a man of the people type of person and someone I'd love to spend a day at a range with.
You nailed that 💯!!!
Okay, the end of that video finally revealed the secret of how you throw rocks so well hahaha
This channel is refreshing. I’ve unsubscribed from all those tacti”cool” guntubers with their combat vests, tactical language, unnecessary gloves, sunglasses (who shoots with sunglasses on????) and exclusive attitudes.
I second that!
I'm pretty sure the Hi-Point still has a lifetime warranty. About 20 years ago I bought a used 995 and I sent it into Hi-Point. They inspected it, replaced the worn parts and sent it back. All I had to pay was shipping. IMHO, that's a darn good warranty!
My 4595 carbine randomly blew up. I called them expecting nothing and they said wow I'm impressed send it in and we will get you a brand new one free. They literally melted the zymac receiver down and sent me a new one through fed ex with the same serial number. Whole brand new gun they covered shipping and everything for me.
Serious?....try that with FN Ruger Smith & Wesson or Colt...three quarters of the time they don't even answer the goddam phone
It's only good as the people backing the warranty. Remember this is from the cheapest gun manufacturer.
I had a mag spring issue on my 995 TS Carbine and they sent me 3 new springs and an extra mag, that's quality customer service, no other manufacturer offers it.
@@williamkowalchik572 yeah, that may be but these folks STILL don't flinch. as stated above, all you gotta do is send them the remains and they'll handle it.
i know a guy who found an original 995 carbine in a pawn shop in ROUGH condition. he sent it in and they sent him back a completely restored weapon in something like 4 weeks.
I’ve had my Hi-Point 9mm for almost ten years now. Cost me $100 in 2014. It has never jammed or misfired. It’s heavy, but small. And very reliable.
These are a lot better than people think. They are definitely not for the gun connoisseur. But for someone on a budget who needs a firearm for self-defense, this is definitely a good option.
I would say they’re not for the gun *snobs, not connoisseurs. Most people who say they “hate” them 1) have never shot one, and 2) are narcissists who have to show off their high-dollar “designer” guns to everybody anywhere they go, and look down their noses at anyone who doesn’t have an equally-expensive range toy. I have an expensive handgun that is more accurate than the JHP45, but if it isn’t surgically clean it is not reliable. It also is extremely picky about ammo. Knowing that, I would NOT trust it for self defense. I CAN and DO trust the JHP45 for *home* defense. I love it, but it’s a bit heavy for EDC. But if it was all I had, I’d find a way to carry it.
@@richardeikenburg7347thank you!
I've never owned one, but have shot several. They were all 100% reliable.
they'll never win a beauty pageant, but that's kind of the appeal to me. sexy/tricked out guns tend to go missing, and even if the hi point does..... i'm only out $180 as opposed to $600+
I'm a "connoisseur", and i like Hi Point, as i like AK's. I like what they are, and why they are: great weapons who makes the job done, affordable for everyone.
Hi-Point is such a great brand. They keep the prices low so pretty much anyone can afford some home or self defense.
I've got a C9 and I like it hoping to get more Hi-Point handguns
Bless your heart.
@@Sarge51BG🤣 Have you ever actually shot one? Most of the haters I’ve run into haven’t.
They’ve had politicians ask them to raise their prices and responded that even poor people deserve to be able to defend themselves.
I like the hi point but many people run down on them.
I very glad that an American gun manufacturer can make an affordable weapon. For those that don't have much money can have a chance to protect themselves or families. Thx for making these videos.
I have been shooting a 45acp Hi-Point model JH (not JHP) since the early 1990s. My pistol was gifted to me by an uncle. It has been accurate, durable, and reliable.
Dollar for dollar it's hard to complain about them. I have a couple and they always fire and fairly accurate
I have to agree with you on this one .. While they aren't my first choice for a pistol, they work.. and if you don't have much in the way of money .. they are at least giving you something that does what they say it will do for not a lot of dollars.
I've had mine for 3 - 4 years. No problems and no complaints. Thanks for giving it another look.
It’s ugly as hell lolol but works?
😂
I'm proud to be part of the 82 million views. You put out a very entertaining and enjoyable channel that I look forward to watching. Keep 'em coming.
We appreciate your honest reviews, the modifications, and DIY projects like the Mossberg shotgun which is impressive in its own right.
jwings Thank you for being part of the our family....much appreciated.
... about six years ago I was at a local range and a guy in the lane to my right was shooting a .45 acp Hi Point. During a time we both were loading mags I asked him about the Hi Point, he liked it a lot, pointed good and was fairly accurate. He said it was his bedside gun, and I remarked that using an inexpensive pistol for home defense was a good idea especially since, if he had to use it, it won't break the bank if it is confiscated by the police. He told me that's his plan, and he knows all too well about the pistol being taken by the police since he was a Deputy Sheriff in my town! ...
I have three Hi Point pistols. 9mm , 10mm JXP, and the 380 cf. They all work great and are super reliable. I enjoy them all. Hi Point is a great American made product! Thanks for making great content for regular people. Your channel is my go-to for reliable advice. Keep up the good work!
Good morning Dan. I love making these videos and comments like yours really make my day. I appreciate the compliment and I hope to keep making these videos for many years.
How does that ten shoot?
@@billgrivette8047 Not bad at all. Easy to control and cycles any ammo I put through it
If you’re broke just say it😂
Cosigned by a Navy Corpsman , I have a Hi-Point 9 mm carbine , a Remington 870 , and this .45 acp on the video. for home defense. If you break in my house, you won't get out alive, I promise. My carry is a Charter Arms 5 shot 38 special. I keep it simple and spent less than $1000 for home and personal safety for my family. Don't listen to these gun snobs. Hi Points are good guns , they are reliable and will save your life just fine .

I recently unsubscribed to three well known gun channels I have watched for years, because they were basically getting their guns from suppliers, and their videos were the same thing week to week. You will notice I am still subscribed to you because of all the guns you show. Keep up the good work my friend !
I noticed that too from some of the ones I watch.
Scootch comes to mind.
@BertReno you mean to tell me that every gun trigger doesn't have "a little bit of take up, and then a crisp, clean break?"
I stopped with him for the same reason. Oh, and for the olight infomercials.
Who else. I have many suspicions
@@dangerdylan5005 Let's say I do eat eggplant, and I think Furbees are too cute to shoot. I still watch Hickok, Plinkster, and Mix-up of course. I just unsubscribed to a few, but may still watch them at times.
Thanks for doing these update reviews on firearms.
So many people do a first impression review only. Which can be valuable info for choosing a new firearm to purchase, however a lot of guns break down or malfunction much quicker than others , which is useful to know!
Because of your first video review of this weapon, I went out and bought the same one and I have to admit that I love the damn thing. I paid $36 for it... The shipping cost more then the weapon! Hell, the spare mags cost more then the weapon. The other reason I bought it in .45 is due to my dad passing away and he left me a spam can of Russian .45 acp ammo and I didn't own a gun that fired it. Problem solved! The gun became my yard weapons cache gun after I had a home intruder gain access to my home after Hurricane Ian and I was not able to get to the room where I store my weapons. Remember folks, It's a tool that was designed to solve a problem. No one cares what a hammer looks like, just as long as it get's the job done.
Love the hammer comparison
Always good to see you out shooting, it's been way too cold and windy out here . My buddy bought one of the 45 hi-point when we went to a local shop . He got it a case and 50 rounds of target ammo for $100. He's had the gun now 5 years with no issues, and he bought the 45 carbine as well . Thanks for taking us out with you
I like all guns...I own a variety all the way from Wilson and Baer down to SCCY and Taurus. If a gun does what it is supposed to...that's what matters. I have had some cheap guns perform better than some expensive gun's. I see you have an open mind as well. Glad to see another vid from you.
Seriously underrated handgun in any caliber! Have 2 pistols and a carbine!
Oldest pistol is well over 10 years old and has zero issues
I always appreciate your honest opinion. This channel is one of my top 5 favorites mainly because of the fun you and your son put into it.
My son and I really do enjoy making these videos, although he was at work when I made this Hi-Point video. I am honored to have my channel in your top 5 and my son and I thank you very much for watching our videos. Have a great Sunday.
@@mixup98: Yours is a very underrated channel. You+ your son = 100% honest work. That equates you're BOTH honest ppl..
😉🇺🇲💪🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much Hernando. Your comment really means a lot to us🙏🙏
A channel for people like me, just a regular guy helping regular people. I love the nod to trek fans and the era 😁
I'm also a regular guy and I am thankful that I am in a position to help other guys that are just like you and me. I love your comment....thank you!
You may not have the biggest gun channel, but for this enthusiast, it's the best one. Gotta love your son's relaxed way of shooting, sitting back, legs crossed, bullseye! Regarding the Hi-Point, if it came with sling attachments, it would be a consideration. Too heavy for this gun toter.
It's not hard to add some yourself. Not hard at all. Can be done in a few minutes.
Have owned a C9 for about 10yrs but did make a big improvement on it. Now has a set of skull grips for a little bling. They have nice sets for the 45 also. Thanks guys & stay safe! 🇺🇸🙏👍🎯
I always appreciate your fun, humor and honest reviews.
I appreciate that!
You can lock the slide back with the manual safety lever. In fact you have to do this to disassemble it.
You are absolutely correct and I stand corrected. It sucks getting old 😢
@@mixup98 nah, you're good. Heck I'm a lot older than you are, and I forget stuff all the time…
@@Mbartel500 Thanks!
@@mixup98I have slowed down in my old age…last Sunday it took me an hour and a half to watch 60 Minutes.
I had one of these, every thing you said was true: lower cost, very reliable and simple gun. A budget gun that dose not get the respect it should.
I bought one ..bout a year and a half ago...used the stock mag for a while...then got the mod for a 1911 mag... This gun is really awesome...prob 800 - 1000 rounds reloads and factory.....never a problem.....when my wife and i go to the range it's her preferred gun. She loves it ! Thumbs up to Hi Point on this one !!
I have wanted to buy a hipoint just to scratch that curiosity. My wife is pissed, but I am about to go pick up a JHP 45. I have been hearing nothing but good things about the reliability of it. Gonna take it toe to toe against my favorite handgun ever.
It definitely cannot hold up to my favorite handgun. But I did just take the Hi Point out and was grouping very well. Half the rear sight is missing but my grouping was great. My wife is still pissed
Gotta give them credit for making cheap reliable guns in the US. I’m done buying Hi-points (I know famous last worlds) but I really appreciate your honest testing, and just about everyone who buys these to crap in them is surprised that they run and don’t die. Lots of torture testing has proved they’re durable even though they’re ugly and blocky
I got my wife the .380 and myself the 9mm for our first handguns.
They were a great introduction into handguns.
Low recoil and dependable but heavy. We didn't know any better at the time.
Sold both of them and moved up to smaller/lighter handguns.
No regrets.
Springfield xd 45. theyre awesome
It’s a good morning when mixup uploads!
You have a very good channel, fun to watch and you add some bloopers, honest reviews good or bad, I like the point that you do more low budget arms and not the High $$ that regular working guys can't afford, heck I like your pawn shop finds as well. keep up the great work
I like your style!
No pretentious BS!!!
I like the fact that you didn't "Dawg" the carbine before you even shot it like most folks do and even picked up a JHP 45 too!!!
90% of the Hi Points reviews start off with people who act like they'll catch tha Clap if they touch one!
I've had mine for 12 years or so and I still trust it!
It's no longer my GO TO gun on bed stand but I still shoot it with no problems and IF I needed it, I would grab it without fear!
I'm a gun nut and I love almost all guns, especially guns that are reliable, accurate and affordable. I'm glad to hear that you have owned your Hi-Point for 12 years and you still trust it. I would like mention that you have subscribed to my channel for eight years and I really appreciate it.
@@mixup98 Good Times....
I appreciate You and Jr's hard work and knowledgeable yet laid back approach.
The back stories of your guns and experiences are cool too!
I’ll be honest I don’t like Hi Points but I love your channel; plus, we get to see the beautiful southern Nevada. Thank you for making these honest, regular American videos that people can relate to more than the tactical drills and action.
Really enjoy your videos; very upbeat, practical and informative from an “everyman” perspective (which is to say that you shoot and review guns I actually own or would buy)!
Like your channel..No BS, real world experience, no politics...
Thank you for the awesome feedback OldGlaseye 😎
Another great video sir! I remember your first video on this amazing piece and went out and bought one to have fun at the range with. I now have the upgraded version and it acts as my tractor gun. Thank you to you and your son for this one!
I love it when someone buys a firearm based on my review. You just made my day....thank you!
Nice to see a reviewer that doesn't hate a Hi Point just because its a Hi Point. Give it a fair chance like anything else. Review the gun and if its junk, say so but if its a solid gun, then say so. I have a Hi Point C-9 I bought a few years ago as a boat gun and have been very impressed. Yep, it's a little heavy but it's more accurate than I am and it goes bang every time I pull the trigger and eats whatever I feed it. Prettiest gun on the market,......probably not but it does what its supposed to do........every time so far. Thanks for the review. Great job!
Appreciate the honest review. I did have one for a while. I used it for work doing wetlands management with a good bit of kayaking, canoeing and wader work. So it didn't bother me to carry it in nasty conditions and if somehow it was lost it wouldn't be as much of an expense. It ran everything factory I put in it. But it was somewhat finicky with handloads. Thank you.
I've enjoyed your channel for years because you always give good,honest reviews.The JHP has been on my radar for a while now,,would make an excellent garage gun.
I noticed that you have been a subscriber to my channel for eight years. That's awesome....thank you! Don't tell anyone but I also keep mine in my garage 👍😎
@@mixup98 the garage is a guy's "home away from home."I guess we keep a lot of stuff there that isn't mentioned.Keep the video's coming,always enjoy them.
Happy to be one of your members. I like the fact that you (and your son!) review guns for the regular guy (and gal) to use and have fun with. And you're not full of yourself... Just an honest guy. Thanks for that.
I know it sucks to buy your own guns but that is one reason I like your channel. Viewers don't have to worry about corporate 'influence'. When I see you have a new video up, I'll usually make the time to watch it b/c of this.
What's good about this pistol is if you use it in home defense. "Officer, here is the gun I used when the bad guy broke in. You need to take it in for evidence?" 'Uh, is that a Hi Point? Nah, you keep it and we'll reach out if we need you to bring it in'.
Awesome video guy ...I bought the 9mm version a few years back myself and gave it to my step-dad for home protection
👍😎 👍😎
I appreciate an honest opinion. 👍🏻
I thoroughly enjoy your no nonsense videos! Thanks for a great approach and your honesty. I do the same thing on my channel, and I need to get some more videos up. I'm extremely grateful for my Hi-Point 45 and am very surprised that even though the trigger is rough, I'm very accurate with it. Same thing with my 9mm carbine, and I recently bought a 10mm pistol. I'm confident it will be as accurate as my other 2. Have a great week, and keep the great videos coming!
When you really think about it a gun is just a tool . We want it to be reliable , reasonably accurate , and with enough power to get the job done . I think you've demonstrated that the Hi-Point you're reviewing does all that .. I don't presently own one but I don't see where you can go wrong especially given what they cost . Great video , thanks so much !
I agree with you 100% Alex, and I thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on my video.
Its good to have honest reviews, alot of gun channels get freebies and you can't help wondering
Someday I just might pick up a Hi Point 10mm and do a review on it. Thanks for the suggestion and you also stay well.
I see you repaired your target holder. Good review! Pretty good firearm for the price, too!
I can't speak to the other popular UA-cam channels other than to say that it is your channel that is concise clear accessible well presented with high production value. The information provided is on point particularly to those who are not necessarily well versed with firearms. It is your channel that I look for.
I have the 9mm c9 and the 40cal JHP. The 9mm had a lot of hiccups with the first two mags I put through it , after that it’s been 100%. The JHP has been 100% since the first magazine. I think they are great truck guns, boat guns, or anywhere you need a reliable gun , but don’t what to use an expensive one to rust or get beaten up. My wife actually prefers the 9mm C9 to more expensive handguns we own. She keeps it in the nightstand on her side of the bed. I love the fact that Highpoint keeps making new stuff like their 10 mm and updating their old designs. They kind of follow the Palmetto State Armory motto about making less expensive firearms so everyone can afford one.
Subscribed to your channel today because I watched the Hi Point review. I bought the Hi Point 45 ten years ago and everyone said they jammed but I bought anyway. I took it out and fired it and on the second shot it jammed so I put it on the shelf and there it has sat for 10 years. Your review may have me take it off the shelf, oil it and try it again. Thanks!
I always look forward to the next Mixup video.
It's not going to win the sexiest gun of the year award, but the darn thing looks like it shoots pretty good and it's really reliable. What more could you ask for less than $200?
I'd say it's a winner.
Great video!
Hi-Points just work and they serve an important slice of the market. It's better than nothing and that's all it needs to be. I like that you shoot everything you can get your hands on, especially affordable guns. You're not some super tacticool bro shooting $4k guns, you're just a guy and his son having fun plinking out in the desert.
Thank you sir. I really enjoy your videos. Honest.
I love watching your honest reviews of guns sir, i happen to also own a 45 high point myself and it hasnt given me any problems. Even if it looks ugly and its bulky a lot of people dont like the basic features on the gun. Its primary function to shoot well and cycle well regardless of the grain of the ammunition used for this particular platform pistol. I still shoot my 45 high point every time i head out to the out door gun range. ❤❤
Hello Eddie. I'm glad to hear that you also own a Hi-Point .45 and I occasionally take mine out to the range and let my buddies shoot it. 👍😎
I love my Hi-Points as much as any of my defensive tools.
I even like how rhe jhp45 feels and fires better than my g21 knuckle cutter.
The 4595 Carbine is my favorite at it's working distances.
That said..
I have to point out, and perhaps you're unaware perhaps not..
The Meltology Mountain {melted structures buildings city} in the backdrop is incredible, amazing even.
Center frame it looks exactly like the dome of a capital style building and a smaller domed clock\bell style tower to our lower left of it.
I'm sure there are some 'caves' and or 'old mines' on that hill, which were halls and rooms etc once, now melted petrified vitrified collapsed and buried in it's own Brick melt and Mud.
Love your channel and have been here for nearly all of it.
Keep Being yourself and doing good work.
Peace Love and Abundant Prosperity to you and yours.
a real humble gun channel.....my favorite channel
I've been holding out buying the jhp45. This review convinced me to go get one. Thanks for a great review.
Glad I could help, Scott 👍😎
About 12 yrs ago I bought a C9, first semi auto pistol I have owned, since I’ve sorta moved on to Glocks and 1911’s for competition but still got the C9 and picked up a 45 like yours, they still get taken to the range ever so often, they just make me smile
Ive had mine for several years now with no problems at all & its been a reliable firearm.
The heavy weight makes it feel like less recoil. If you get a couple of good magazines they are reliable as heck! They aren't my first choice to carry around but for a truck gun or just hacking around at the range with your friends, can't be beat.
I love Hi Point! I’ve got some really expensive firearms but Hi Points customer service is second to none. I want a 45 carbine!!!
Ruger has an excellent Customer service to, they have always treated me great. No charge for shipping either way and free repairs.
@@lloydhills7416 Ruger sucks! I had a super Blackhawk that had been drilled and tapped since the 80s. Ruger said it voided the warranty or any type of repair for that matter. The New England trash talker on the line stated that if the gun was shipped to them they would destroy it because they deemed it unsafe. Buncha lawyers! AND Bill Ruger was an advocate of gun control! Screw Ruger and their overweight cast guns.
I brought a Hi Point carbine in 45 ACP 10 years ago no regrets
Thanks for the video, from Northern Nevada.
Its a fun toy. I saw their new 10mm & its going for less than my cheapest red dot cost! Insane they can even make something half functional at that price point.
I always loved your channel because of your honesty💯💯
I appreciate that Jacob....thank you!
Had a couple over the years traded them but they worked great never worried about it not firing
Loving Hi Point. I’m collecting them, carbines and pistols, every caliber (except the dumb 30 supercarry). My home is nicely protected.
One of the best gun youtube guy. Keep up the great work
Mixup your channel has been top notch from day one...I thank you for the help and great information...Can't say thank you enough..well I have a friend that has the 9mm and he loves it 🤠🤠🤠👏🏻🇺🇸💯
You always leave great comments and I would really like to shake your hand someday.
@@mixup98 the feeling is mutual my friend 🤝🏻
I had the Hi-Point 9mm carbine and loved its accuracy. In fact it was probably one of my most accurate carbines. And yes it was reliable as well. The only reason I got rid of it was because of the lack of options to put accessories that could be put on it.
never had issue with 9mm carbine 995, my only issues were constant jams using the 3 hi-point 9mm manufacture magazines in my hi-point 9mm pistol. As I bought the gun and then 2 additional mags directly from Hi-Point.
I have a 10mm Hi-point carbine. I put the barrel shroud on it, took the iton sites off and put a red dot on. Its ok. I also got the dual magazine holder for the buttstock. I do wish higher capacity mags were available
You've always been straight on a firearm when it comes to reviewing. Very underrated, very enjoyable to watch, AND there's always a few things to be learned.
I love these guys that blast and give great info about what they know about what they have... good, bad or indifferent... the other guys are more for entertainment and info for what is going on in the gun world
I bought this gun 8 years ago, and had only put about 150 rounds through it. I took out today and yes, it’s heavy but it was surprisingly accurate. I ran a total of 200 rounds and had one hang up.
I have the 4595 carbine. It always goes bang! I recently bought a C 9 pistol. Didn't go so well first 50 rounds. I polished the feed ramp on it and 100 rounds ran flawlessly through it then!
Thanks for your content.i truly enjoy your videos. Especially since your son is included! I also love the wide weird range of firearms!
Hello Troy. We appreciate the nice comment. Tomorrow my son, his wife and I will be shooting a shotgun video and it should be posted on Friday or Saturday. We hope you enjoy it and we thank you for watching our videos.
Another great video Mixup98! I bought the same pisto, unfortunately mine has been keyholing at about ten yards. Still a fun pistol to take to the range, big and chunky! Appreciate your honest reviews and content.
Have you tried a variety of ammo? Different brands and weights and velocities?...................elsullo
Great vid Mix! Starts with a beam in AND a Mix rock throw! I bought a HP 9mm compact about a year ago for $90 (probably after watching your vid...), and no, it's not something I would chose to use for defense.....but I could. Has never jammed and hits where I point it. They are truly interesting.
Never change good sir.
Dead eye even with rock. Outstanding
👍😁
I watched your video from I don’t know how long ago about a ruger 10/22 adaptive tactical stock and I still have the stock and still watch your videos !
You have a great channel! Down to earth reviews and just overall good content for us common folk! That being said, this was a good video for a firearm brand that a lot of people hate, lol. Wouldn't mind seeing you shoot the Hi-Point .45 next to a Colt 1911. You were pretty accurate with this chonker :P
I did a video years ago where I compared a Sig pistol to a Ruger pistol and some viewers criticized me for "comparing apples to oranges" and being unfair to Ruger. I can only imagine the comments if I compare a Colt to a Hi Point. Still, it would be an interesting comparison and I just might do it just for the fun of it, although I'm pretty sure the Colt would win 👍😎
I had a couple of these HP 45's over the years. I hated the first one with a passion.....got another on trade 5 years later and kinda grew to like it, LOL seemed to do the job. You have better accuracy than I had. I still have my 9 and 45 in the carbine. excellent guns.
Nevada must be a great state to be a gun owner. It's literally a giant shooting range.
Oh, yeah. Just gotta get rid of those universal background checks, red flag, and storage laws. Plus, add constitutional carry, and then it'll be perfect.
Plus his shooting range has some of the best sound effects of any place in the world!
Arizona is amazing for gun owners.
I love your channel it's one of my favorites, thank you for all of the informative videos!
Thank you Just got me one a year ago I'm happy as well.
I have the JCP in .40. Nightstand pistol for sure. Unwieldy for carry, but never has disappointed me when I pulled the trigger.
Great video.
I own a 45acp also with 2 extra 14ct mags and their 380 and am totally overjoyed with both.
Had for a few yrs now.
Put hundreds of bullets through both almost flawless.
However the seem to like all types of amo except steel jackets.
Will run them but you can see they just don't like ejecting steel.
Have had 3 jams but only on steel.
Really enjoy your Hi-Point videos, Mixup, and would love to see you review the Hi-Point dual caliber 10mm auto/.40S&W pistol and carbine. I'm fairly confident they'd become favorites. 👍
I haven't considered doing a review on the 10mm/40 but now you have thinking about it. We will see what happens and thanks for the suggestion.
I have a soft spot for Hi Points. Made in USA and lets someone get into guns for hobby or for self defense at an affordable price. Great vid!
👍😎
I have the exact same Hi-Point pistol and I'm like you it's a great firearm and I've had mine for 10 years now and you are right it will fire any kind of ammo you can put thru it and I paid the same as you did and I don't plan on getting rid of it and I the sad part in the State of Illinois you can't buy the Hi-Point pistols unless it's a used one and that happened one year after I bought mine, but the good thing is we can buy the Hi-Point carbines and I have the 995 TS and it's a great carbine for what I paid for it and I think I paid 260 dollars out the door brand name and I got a great deal on 4 extra magazines for 50 dollars and since I have had it it will fire any ammo thru it and like you said anyone on a budget Hi-Point pistol and carbines are a good starting point, because I'm like a lot of people I'm on a budget and I have different firearms and most are budget friendly and what anyone who is looking for a good firearm Hi-Point is a great start and it has a lifetime warranty on it and if they can't fix it they will send you a new firearm to replace the one they can't fix.
Great video! Thanks for using the ProMag clip. Have three Hi-Points; 9mm, 45ACP, and 10mm. Somewhat bulky but very dependable, reasonably priced, and just simply love them!
I bought the hi-point .45 carbine and it is an amazing bit of fun. I put a reflex sight and muzzle on it and, especially for the money, nothing can touch it for reliability and accuracy. I heard the pistols had reliability issues but am glad to see this refutes that. Great company.
Good video, thanks. I have the hi point in 9mm and it also is very reliable , pretty accurate and a pleasure to shoot because of the weight of the slide...I like it a lot.
My C9 goes bang every time, and the one f2f was on the 2nd mag through it when I had it fully loaded. I backed off to 7 rounds per mag for about a 100 rounds, and now it runs flawlessly loaded all the way. Now I just need to get the carbine to go with it, or get the 45 carbine to go with the Taurus that my mother-in-law gave me after her husband died.
I owned a Hi-Point CF380 for several years. I had to tweak the magazine that came with it but once I did it shot first time, and every time. I bought a second extended magazine and never had a problem with it. Through hundreds of rounds it was perfectly reliable. Hi-point is heavy and homely, but if you're on a limited budget they're a very good option for self defense and target practice. They sure beat the hell out of a sharp stick, lol.
It's good that there are low-cost options out there for people. It may have the ergonomics of a brick, but it will fire every time you pull the trigger.
One of my kids recently bought a Tisas 1911 for $299 on sale, just after Thanksgiving. I'll tell you what, I have not seen a better value for the money in a long time. I don't anticipate these pistols staying at that price point for very long, once word gets out on the quality of the materials and machining. I'm not a big fan of the Turkish firearms, but you have to give credit where credit is due.
I have a C9. It was a little rough in the beginning.. but its now reliable. I've been considering getting one in .45 and the 10mm.. because, why not?!
Out of curiosity, has the trigger gotten any worse over those two years? I don’t own one but I’ve known guys who have and they complain about the trigger too.
I’m just wondering if it’s a manufacturing tolerance or wear issue. The wear is likely covered by the warranty, but if tolerances are too loose the cure could be worse than the problem if you see what I mean.
I will admit that the Hi-Point .45 pistol has a spongy trigger pull straight out of the box but an experienced shooter shouldn't have any problems shooting it accurately. I really haven't noticed if the trigger pull has gotten worse over time. I would have to compare mine to a brand new one to verify any changes in the trigger pull.
Aside from the dark realities we face there is another probably larger reason for affordable pieces. Shooting is fun! We do most of the activity with firearms as recreation totally non violent totally stress relief etc. That Zinc Blob is not for me but it is a VERY suitable range piece. Off topic but Pump and Lever Guns are underrated when it comes to SD and Rec shooting. I have .22's that practically blaze if you practice. Lots of fun. Thanks for the show.
