- JS Arms supplied the awesome accessories for my carbine. Please check out their website at jsarmsco.com
I liked my Hi-Point .45 ACP carbine so much that I eventually bought two of their pistols. Hi-Point firearms are inexpensive, reliable and I highly recommend them for anyone on a tight budget.
Best customer service in the gun business.
I bought a stripped down carbine at a pawn shop dirt cheap.
I looked on their website for the parts I needed but didn't find what I was looking for.
Called the company and the very nice rep I talked to took my list and had the parts shipped to me on their dime.
I've never had that kind of experience with any other firearms company.
Because of that one experience I'll be a fan for life.
I love that you are not a gun snob that makes us feel bad that our guns don’t cost a fortune. You appreciate them for what they are. You don’t say something is the best, but give honest opinions. Thanks
Exactly..no BS and straight to the point...old school and trustworthy..like Hickok 45!
I have five cousins that were in the arm and this weekend they shot a sig, Canik, Glock Taurus and hi-point. The hi-point was the only not to jam and out shot the others wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.

People love to hate the hi point but they do work
people are dumb that's why
I own the 9mm and the 45. Love them both.
I picked up a used 45 carbine yrs back, it was abused by previous owner wouldn't chamber. Sent it in and the fixed like new with a extra mag. They some of the best customer service
A Hi Point 45 was my first gun I purchased over 14 years ago since then I have purchased a lot of guns and I trust that Hi Point more then a lot more expensive guns i own
I don't care what gun you're reviewing, seeing you and your son having a great time outdoors as family is feelgood viewing. Thanks for putting a smile on my face with every video
Good morning Simon. We love reading comments and like yours and it really brightens up our day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hi point pistols are the epitomy of sleek design and beautiful lines. 😉
nice shots........camera work and shootin
Only Mixup could devastate the target with no sights !! Great video !!
Thank you Larry! 👍😁
I have alot of respect for what high point does. I know a couple of single moms that would have been unarmed without a high point. Ive convinced one to get a g3c but she still has the high point at home.
Both of theirs ran 100 % out of the box, but if you get one with issues, get another magazine. Name brand from high point . If you call them theyll look out and get you sqared away.. almost all non running highpoints ive encountered where fixed with a magazine change.
The weak link in highpoints are those cheap mags. Some are bent and out of spec.
Very impressive that Hi-Point made a gun so cheap. When Tom Deeb designed this gun, he truly cared about people on low income being able to defend themselves instead of profits. Today you could get much better guns for a little more money(PSA dagger, Taurus G3C, etc...) but remember these guns weren't around when the Hi-Point first came out. Anyways the Hi-Point will always be there and I'm glad Americans can exercise their 2nd Amendment right.
I agree. We gun guys dream about high end guns, but guns affordable to everyone are most important to freedom. That’s the reason, when Democrats invented gun control as Negro control after the Republicans freed their slaves, at least three Southern states outlawed cheap guns, knowing most free blacks couldn’t afford Colt’s or Smith & Wesson.
Def save a little more $ and get one of those alternatives mentioned in this comment. The G3 is a great bargain. So is the PSA Dagger.
@@lanedexter6303 my dream gun is an AA gun in the backyard
Love it. My uncle just sent video of a laser cutting and topping trees near power lines. I want one to repel boarders! 😄@@susanissajoke
Yeah in 9mm theres better options in the price range, but not in 45
For the money you gotta love a Hi-Point. I don't have any Hi-Point pistols but a couple of years ago I was introduced to Hi-Point carbines. After I bought a Hi-Point 10mm carbine, I liked it so much, especially for the price, that we bought another one for my son. One carbine is in a great looking Realtree Edge camo pattern and the other is black. The Realtree Edge came look is my favorite but they all look good and it really changes the look of the carbine altogether. There are aftermarket companies that make some great looking stock conversions for the Hi-Point carbines as well. That starts making them not so cheap anymore but a lot of people today are into accessorizing, etc., it's big thing nowadays. I prefer to save money for ammo or other things usually.
The Hi-Point 10mm carbines have been fantastic. They are accurate, look great, shoot great and are priced great. The different camo pattern models were on sale for under $400 and the black version was in the low $300's, can't remember the exact price. One big outdoor super store actually had some Police Trade In 9mm & .40 S&W Hi-Point carbines with a vertical fore grip and 3 magazines for $250 a while back. They're still listed on the website but no are no longer available according to the site. There's a .30 Super Carry threaded version for just a hair over $300. These carbines are reliable, accurate and for whatever reason, they are just a ton of fun to shoot. The big disadvantage that people have been complaining about for years is the single stack magazines, other than that, they're awesome. Look at what most other 10mm carbines cost. Made in America, by Americans, so that any American that wants a firearm, can afford one.
Great video. My friend Bob got two Hi-Point 9C several years ago when they first came out, because he heard you can fire +P ammo. He wanted a spare beater gun any was going to give one to his wife. Took them to the range and found out they were having a few jamming problems like you're .45 ACP did. Next day he went back to his point of sale person and they ship them to the factory for repair. Few days later he got a call from the actual repair department and the guy wanted to know what ammo. He confirmed that they are +P rated and usually the hotter the better. Bob was using a 147gr bullet. The repair guy told him to not use anything above of 124 grain. He said the heavier bullet was actually designed for a full size 5 in 9 mm such as a Beretta 92F and would short-cycle the slide of the 9C. He did Test fire and confirm that they were working correctly and sent them back. We used 115gr Federal ammo and it was deadly accurate and no more problems after that. He actually carried it as a spare firearm working security, behind his vest trauma plate. He did get one of the carbines too and loved it, firing a bunch of ammo through that thing. The first models were butt ugly and we called it to planet of the apes gun. It had open sights and was fairly accurate to 50yd, staying on a 9" pie plate, as long as we were capable of doing it. I can imagine if you actually put a scope on one of these it would probably be really accurate. Been thinking about getting a 9C as they work really well. We were shooting bullets at paper targets with them and then switch to cans. Bob was an old Vietnam and Gulf War Vet, and it was fun actually watching him skip the cans with that thing. Seriously he could put the can up in the air off the ground and keep it moving. I think the heavy slide actually lends to better accuracy, because it gets it right back on target quickly. I would say within thirty yards, it would be just as deadly as any pistol that cost upward of two grand.
You can do better.
I have the JHP .45. It works but after a little while my arms get tired of lifting it up on target...lol
I had one customer service experience with mine during the height of covid. (Broke a sear on the 10 mm carbine) they mailed me all the parts including a couple small springs that had Olympic leaping ability. And an extra set for good measure. Excellent response. And the guns work.
Most of the people that dislike the hi points either haven't owned one or can't afford one. They are great guns and come with the best warranty in the market. I bought an old 995 for 175 and a new one for 275. Both are keepers.
👍😎 😎👍
I think I paid $225 for my 995 Ape Gun new around the year 2019 or there about. Reliable and accurate. I modified mine a bit for my purpose without spending aftermarket on it but its a great vehicle gun that costing less I won't care so much if its stolen or impounded.
Who can’t afford a Hi- Point?
Dan.. What I find is that the more experienced shooters buy High Points. not because they are some sort of awesome firearm that will impress all their friends, However, it is a fun firearm to have because it is what it is, surprisingly accurate and reliable. it's nice to see there is still a company that produces low cost firearms that are well made and the company stands behind what the sell. (Btw,, The Son is getting really good with his sight alignment. He should turn out for Bullseye) I wish I bought a Carbine in .45. Good Video -
I would love to see my son engage in some local shooting competitions but unfortunately it seems that the shooting clubs in our area have all disappeared, probably due to the high cost of ammo.
Must be cooling down you are posting more. I always enjoy your shooting.
Very interesting! There was a long stretch of time when any Hi-Pont product was considered a "Jam-A-Matic" and "Dead Man Walking Pistol" status in Law Enforcement circles. Hi-Points even fell to the "overpriced door stop" level in the early 2000s. In a perverse kind of way, I'm glad to see Hi-Point has apparently solved the problems found in older production models and made their firearms trustworthy enough for lower income folks who otherwise would be left defenseless by other manufactures and their very expensive firearms.
I will admit to longing for a "Yeet Cannon", but was afraid of the public ridicule my purchase might attract. You got me rethinking it now. Poor High Point gets no respect.
Another great video. Nothing like enjoying family, cleaning firearms and watching your videos on Sunday’s.
Awesome....thank you!
25 years ago i bought my 1st handgun. A hi-point 45. Still have her. Shot a few weeks ago. Works great. No issues. I had more fun with my p226
Bought one the day I turned 21 back in 2006, only had 200 bucks. Put thousands of rounds through it with little cleaning, back when you could still buy that Perfecta Italian handgun ammo at walmart for 7 bucks a box. One day, it fell off a truck and cracked the slide. Called customer service, and they replaced it with no questions asked. Even though it was my fault. I ended up getting rid of it, probably one of the most regrettable trades I've done.
We all appreciate you sharing your experience that you had with customer service. I have seven Hi Point videos posted here on youtube and 99% of the comments regarding customer service have been positive. (No, I don't work for Hi Point and they don't send me any products to review)
Well, what ive found is many people start out with a highpoint, then later on because of the highpoint introducing them to shooting, buy better guns and eventually sell or give the highpoint away to another new owner and the cycle starts again.
So while you regret the decision, here's to hoping your high point got another new shooter into the fold.
"Picked up" is a good way of saying you bought a High Point. Those heavy things are cheaper than a gym membership, so you're getting money back.
Lmmfao,well played sur....
I have five Hi-Points. They are affordable, accurate, and reliable. The only thing I don't like about them are the triggers, which I have gotten used to and don't mind as much anymore🎉
I send my 45 in for a heavy trigger they worked it over works beautifully and they send me a new magazine all for free .
I am sorry for you. You could be holding a much better firearm. I hope you discover that. Life is very short.
Always a pleasure to watch you and your son do some shooting
You know you're a good shot when you can make the steel sing without any sights on your firearm. That was a fun video to watch. Stay safe out there.
Never boring with y'all shooting and talking about the guns.
I have the 45 rifle , love it more comfortable to shoot for me than an AR rifle. ❤
Still lovin the echoes from the hills thru my headphones. Not a Hi-Point fan, but you two certainly do them justice. Enjoyed you two having fun. All the best from SW Penna. "The JJ".
I love the company. Hi Point makes affordable guns for low income families. They want every American armed. Like Palmetto State Armory.
PSA does make firearms affordable, but they cannot/do not match Hi-Point Customer Service and the Hi-Point life-time, transferable, "no questions asked" warranty. Hi-Point bends over backwards to treat their customers properly.
Never had a Hi Point. They are just butt ugly. But I do have a PSA AR and just bought a Dagger with extreme carry cut. Beatiful and works well.
As long as it Functions Reliably?? And its Wat you CAN Afford? Then Go for it..ANY thing is BETTER than Nothing.. If it was me? Id go With the Taurus G3 series Of The TH-9's.. Affordable & Reliable.. Shoot Safe & God Bless 😊
Yea I agree fellas. I personally do not have a 30lb Hi Point but, like you said it's better than nothing.
They make affordable guns, regardless of income. My banker has toted a .45 Hi Point for years.
About ten years ago I bought a dremel, some polishing bits, and a hi point c9, and all for about $120 used. That hi point taught me everything I needed to know about the ins and outs of a firearm ( not too many people have the balls to start dremeling their higher cost guns) . It no longer is drop safe, but it does have a decent 2 lb trigger now 😂. I have keep about 10 handguns in my collection, and the newbies I take out actually shoot and feel most confident with the hi point 🤷♂️
I had the 45 pistol too. Never had any problems with it, just ugly as sin. But it always worked.
Great follow up video about your Hi-Points. It's good to know how they still run after several years. They're not the prettiest guns, and they're big, and I've heard the trigger pull isn't wonderful, but reliability is the highest priority for me in a semi auto. I think they're worth the money although I don't own any. Once again you show us the affordable guns that work, thank you.
I've had great results with any PMC ammo I've used. .45 ACP., .44 mag, 9mm, .556 and 223 rem.
I would like to have the carbine in .45 or maybe .40 sw.
Great video! Lots of fun!
God bless all here.
PMC is fine for plinking or the range, but it's woefully underpowered for serious use.
There have been lots of posts recently from well-known UA-camrs with good things to say about the Hi-Point line. It's encouraging to see that you're part of that group. 👍 My only experience has been with the dual caliber 10mm/.40 pistol and carbine, and it has been positive, too. 😃
The mags are the culprit when a HP jams or doesn't eject.
The guns are accurate for sure to be cheaply priced. If uou can get the mag lips tweaked just right, these guns are a gem albeit heavier than a boat anchor. Thanks for sharing. I love that carbine
My god I never had such customer help in my life super nice people over the top after that I wend and bought a mother one god bless that company
They’re cheap. Reliable. Perfect stash around the house guns. Or truck guns if your worried about car theft like here in Houston.
I really don't understand the hatred for these guns. They are accurate, dependable and downright cheap. And the warranty!! It doesn't matter if you're the 1st owner or the 20th, they stand behind thier products!! I lost my c9 a few years ago to a friend who needed it more then I.
I sent my hi point to them and they disassembled it, cleaned it, lubed it, and replaced a few parts, FREE. I sent them a ‘donation’ and they sent me two new mags. I love and collect Hi Points.
Thank you for the info on Hi-Point customer service. I might be sending a gun back to them and I'm curious about their service. Thanks again!
I bought the 45 pistol first. Liked it so bought the 45 carbine. Don't shoot the pistol all that often but I shoot the carbine a lot. Use iron sights and have no problems with accuracy. Hi Points are what they are, but I've never had a complaint against them. Thanks again for another great video. (Too bad you forgot the sights for the carbine - would have liked to see more rounds shot out of it 😜)
Yep , highpoint is not bad if budget is a concern. Thanks and take care
They are built cheap but they do work. I have the 9mm carbine and with a small scope and a paint job it`s a fun gun that II don`t worry about. I`m thinking about a .380 carbine next.
If I had a truck there would be a high point living under the front seat all the time in a custom concealment holster.
Y'alls reaction to hitting the plate armature was priceless😅
That does look like a firearm I need in my life, though.
Great video, Dan. I own quite a few firearms, some are expensive, most modestly expensive and a near handful of Hi-Points. I have both the 4095 45ACP & the 1095 10mm carbines, and the monstrously heavy JXP10 and -- I had to -- the latest iteration of the glorious Yeet Cannon, the YC9! What convinced me to try a Hi-Point was watching how well the Hi-Points held up to extreme abuse during a number of destructive torture tests (including plugged/obstructed barrels) by Matt over at Demo Ranch: I blame Matt for causing me to enter into the Hi-Point owner world... and I'm really glad I did! Yes, they are ugly and heavy (the handguns, carbines not so much) BUT they are accurate, simply constructed, durable and dependable, and CHEAP!
I had a 9mm Hi-Point that wouldn't feed half the time. I polished the feed ramp and it was awesome. I still have the 45 and it is my son's favorite to shoot. Sure it's heavy but there is next to no recoil with that hefty slide. I am utilitarian ( says so on my voter card, ;) ) and these tools will work if you treat them right.
I had a Hi-Point 9 and a 45. They were both good shooters. I still have a TS-995 and enjoy it very much also. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I've always liked that Hi Point carbine.
Barrel shroud really makes the carbine...thanks for revisiting the Hi Points mix,
Another great video! May have to pick up the new jxp 10.
I have JXP10mm....Good Gun...One of my favorites!😊
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. They work, and HiPoint's customer service is remarkable, so, 🥰😍😘!!!
I owned a 45 HP. I honestly had not one problem. It fired anything I put in it that was 45. It looked ugly but was the most accurate 45 I ever shot. Including the S&W MP , Gluck , and I sold it and my Gluck as well. Love the S&W , and the Colt I bought. Gluck to me is like buying a Bud Light or a Rainbow Flag. 3 things that just won't happen.🙂🇺🇸
I’ve been thinking of getting the high point carbine. Had one at my local gun show in 10mm for like 380. The state I live in you have to have that paddle attachment behind the trigger so you can’t wrap your hand around. I’d probably lean towards 9mm or maybe 45 just based on price of ammo.
I have friends that have the Hi-Point 9mm pistols and they always shoot as good as everyone else with their Glocks. Good video!!
I always love your reviews.
Thanks for the upload Dad & Lad. 👍🇬🇧
Great one handed shooting , always enjoy the fun you guys have in the Nevada desert.
The only hi-point pistol I've considered getting is their 10mm, but I certainly plan on getting a carbine. Personally, I lean towards the .45 because it'd give me a great excuse to buy an RIA 1911 to go with it. I find your videos on budget guns to be more enjoyable and essential because they debunk the myth that you have to spend 5, 6, 700 bucks in order to get a gun in order for it to be effective. The attitude of it's not a Glock, Sig or Smith its not worth it, which unfortunately seems to be the norm, is just ignorance if you ask me.
huy suput dami ka sinasabi eh, eztayl mu vuluk! baka daldal ka lang walAka fira pambele, trabahu ka muna eFon fira potang ina ka satanaz!
it might be worth investing in a set of folding irons for the carbine! i've ordered mags over the phone from them definitely easy to deal with! my only real complaint on the C9 is the safety, it could be a bit bigger and easier to throw there's times it takes me a couple tries to get it on!
You have a tremendous channel and deserve 1 million subscribers. On today's video, I have handled the said handguns and I just can't find them aesthetically pleasing. And the weight and bulk just turn me off. The carbine is another story. It's well made and reliable in a utilitarian way so I can live with it. Can't be the price and value. Thanks for another great video.
Good to see you guys out again and having fun shooting. I've shot the 45 pistol and the 380 and newer C9 , but always like the carbine and they eat everything we put in them . I should've brought a carbine a few years ago , that came with a cheap red dot a extra magazine and a box of 9mm ammo for $225. Haven't seen one cheap lately
Its nice to see your son and you having so much fun together,my dad and me used to do the same here in va,my dad is gone now and thats a loss you never really get over
Love hipoint’s philosophy make 2a accessible to all, mines been damn near 100 percent reliable with hollow points
When the two extra magazines I purchased for my 45acp Hi-Point did not work properly, I sent my three magazines and the pistol to Hi-Point, and they fixed them at no charge under the life-time warranty. Great service!
Carbine absolutely needs backup iron sights!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
I had a Hipoint 9mm rifle and was so mad I got rid of it. It shot beautifully and it was accurate. I just purchased a JXP10 and it is so wonderful! I first purchased only 40SW which shot well and today I finally bought and shot 10mm and I am still smiling! I think it is a great purchase and I must admit that I love Hipoint. Don't say "buy American" and then diss American companies trying to do right by us. Oh and, by the way, I can afford to buy any number of handguns I want but this company works for me and I would stake my life using Hipoint firearms.
All depends how greatly you value your. 😮
Hey Mix! I bought a Hi-point C9 (compact 9mm) a few months ago just for poops and giggles ($90...), but I'll be darned if the dang thing doesn't just go bang every time. Not something I would choose to defend my life with, but they certainly do work. PS: Miss the beam ins....
Definitely want the 9mm carbine after seeing this wonderful display. Thank you for sharing!
You are very welcome and I hope you do get a 9mm carbine.
I absolutely own one of these for my garage.
Impressive ! Much much better than the Lorsen 22 pistol you made a video about. Really like the carbine 45acp ! Have a Blessed Day in Southern Nevada ! 🇺🇸⚡️TCB⚡️
I don't own a High point of any kind, but from your videos & others,they seem to be a reliable & accurate firearms! Heavy & not the prettiest gun on the market but as long as it is accurate & reliable...it fills the needs of many people who can't afford the more expensive guns!& on a personal note, every semi auto pistol I have ever fired, has " stove piped" an empty case in the ejection cycle; including my first generation S& W SHIELD 9.mm.!
*Classic Shasta Cola commercial; contact them.* 🤠💥👍 (8:22 Great photography; mountain in background)
9:00 *We still have them in CA for $300.00 (10mm my choice)*
*LOL! "Where the Hell am I?"* 11:03
*Although I recognize the benefits, I've never felt the need to own a carbine, but have always kept my eye on these Hi-Points.*
*Such an incredible value, I would have no problem purchasing one.*
*But Hi-Point needs our feedback on that value, you can't bump up the price, without bumping up the quality; low price is what makes them so attractive.*
*Thanks for the video.* 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have the C9 and a 380...never had a problem...great heavy ugly guns...great deals for the price...reliable n accurate!
Their customer service is second to none! They offer a great overall value
I do not own any hi points but I have nothing against them and respect what they are doing (very affordable firearms)
It looks like you should have probably used the .45 can opener on those sweet 'taters.
I also own two hi-points, if I miss with the first I can still thrown the second one.
Just kidding they make a gun that goes bang, every time.
Very nice group of guns. I have a C-9 and it runs great. I'm thinking about getting the 995TS as well as the new 10mm pistol. Thanks for the video and keep shooting my friend 😊.
Well they do work....yup no question about it....Great shooting as always gentleman 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 hope it cooled down out there
I am not a fan of the pistols mainly because they are big, bulky and ugly .. But I have to say that the two 9mm carbines I own are some of my favorite plinkers. Accurate right out of the box, even better with red dots. Can't say they've been 100% reliable though, several extraction and feeding issues. None the less they are very fun to shoot.
If you havent seen Matt from Demo, he pew pew'd a Hi Point to the slide and managed to get it rack'd after beating the muzzle on multiple objects.
All said and done, it still worked. _"technically bullet proof"_ Matt
PS, im necking to see a Hi Points version of a revolver ;"-p
A Hi Point revolver would be awesome. Let's keep our fingers crossed 👍
@@mixup98 take care Battle Born
How good you are at shooting 👏🏼 I salute you
Thank you my friend!
I run into this when it come to guitars . Lot of my fellow players are snobs , Now sure I have a few high end guitars , but the one thats been on more of my recording than any others is a cheapo Mexi-tele I bought for like $100 bucks. It just sounds GOOD
Another great video sir! I have the JHP Gen 2 45 acp and that thing is a tank I love it. I've had no issues with it and the grips a miles better then the original. Keep up the great work you two!
I appreciate your honest commentary.
I love my hipoint carbine 40S&W awesome video
This video is the high point of my day.
😁😁😁😁
😎🙋👍saludos mr mixup que buen conjunto de armas tener pistolas y una carabina 45acp con cargadores compatibles es lo mejor para una situacion de emergencia gran video 👏👏👏
Yeet cannon
I have the 45 carbine! It is fun to shoot !
Thank you !
I have 45...10mm...and C9...And the Yeet Cannon plus 2 carbines...I love mine have many others but love my Hi Points....My JXP 10mm is one of my Favorites!!😊
Well now this was a interesting video and you have got to hand to the high point because they do work but they are just so bulky and ugly. I do own the 995 9 mm carbine and it is a really good shooter and me it doesn't look so bad. I can testify to the fact that high point will stand behind their lifetime warranty because I had a 9 mm pistol and it was wore out when I bought it. So I sent it in to high point to be either repaired or replaced and high point sent me back a brand new 9 mm pistol.
Awesome hi-point guns thanks for sharing mixup98
I have the 4595 had problems with failing to feed and double feed. After sending it in to highpoint it came back with an extra mag and a checklist saying they found nothing wrong with my gun. And with the newest mag it ran well but one mag would not work without holding it up, so it would appear that the problem was with the magazine and not the gun. If I can alter the mag to lock in tighter I think it will work great.
I got the 45 pistol first then the 9mm pistol and 45 carbine at same time.......very good firearms
I'm not much on fancy sights, iron sights all the way
I have the 45 carbine and the 45 pistol. I think they are a great value. They are ugly but they go bang every time I pull the trigger.
You will not beat Hi Points customer service. I have owned a 9mm carbine ( first model ) 2 9mm pistols and a .40 cal carbine. They have all performed great. There is a fed lip mod you need to do to some 9mm pistol magazines but that's all I ever had to do to one. I actually polished internals on one and it was really a smooth shooter. The most I ever paid for a pistol was $150 but the .40 cal carbine was $300 . What other carbine are you gonna buy that cheap ? People make fun of Hi Points but they are cheap and work well. I never had a problem selling any of them either. A underrated firearm.
