Is This The Worst Gun Ever? 

"Generally speaking, they tend to work" Put that on the box.

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.

I love my a Hi-Point! No matter how hard my fan is blowing, papers don’t go flying off my desk from the wind! 😎

"A lot of people have been buying them, I'm not sure who they are" 🤣

0:12 Picks up Hi-point and immediately smokes pot. 😂

If you get shot with a high point you go to hell

My dad has one. He likes it just fine. I don’t like how clunky it is. It is super reliable, and the grip is surprisingly comfortable. It isn’t pretty, it isn’t flashy, but the damn thing works, and if you don’t have much to spend, it will get the job done. Even a cheap gun is better than no gun.

The Hi-Point is like the Gas Station Knives of Pistols.😂

Affordable self protection is always a good idea. Poor citizens should not be priced out of the self-defense market. Our own government is doing far too many things to make gun ownership too expensive already.

“Aw I’m gonna cry, my hi point’s empty!” Is the funniest thing I’ve heard all day. Have a good day hipoint45

The worst gun ever? That would be the one I don't have with me when I need one.

I am glad there are options for buyers of every means.

Love how people tend to say you need to break a gun in... they exclude the cheap guns 😂😂😂

"Generally speaking they tend to work." - Damnation with faint praise

“Generally speaking, they tend to work”…high praise indeed.

I would have thought that I would never buy a HiPoint pistol, but I'm so pleased by their carbine I want their pistol in compatible caliber.

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.

I have about 7 of them carbines and pistols. They more than stand by their guns. I love them as much as all of my guns.

The manual that came with my Hypoint suggested NOT breaking it down, rather spraying it down with something like CCR 556. It said nothing about storing the gun in a cool place. It was in the tour pack in a case on the back of my Harley and got too hot. Plastic parts in the handle then came apart and with them the mainspring. I'll have to check out that lifetime warranty you mentioned.

Anytime anyone asks me if they should get a Hi-Point - "It's a gun."

High Point > SCCY

"Generally they tend to work"... Inspires a lot of confidence!

A friend used customer warranty and it's outstanding. They even sent free ammo along with his pistol return. His always works, my brother's always works, and two other friends have them and also experience a reliable pistol. Mine was fine, but i traded it after 2 years to get a .22 rifle.

Hi-Point needs to make their carbines Glock mag compatible.

Other gun companies don't want us to find out the actual production cost. And how much they mark up! Remember when barret 99s were $650,now they are$5,000. For a steel pipe bolted to piece of plastic!

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've lost track of how many Kahrs I've seen jamming up and failing to fire. And people pay 3 times the price of a Hi Point for them.

You filed stripped a Hi-point, were able to put it back together and it shot? You are indeed the master!

Thank You Hickok for all you do 👍🇺🇸

Generally speaking, if Hickok45 misses that many targets with any handgun, it ain’t Hickok, it’s Hi Point!!!

One of those ultra-rare Hi-Points that DON'T have the serial numbers filed off.

I had a c9 and had an issue not feeding. Polished the feed ramp and put around 500rds through with no issue. Gave to my nephew years ago and as far as I know it’s still going. Also made in USA and do have great warranty department. I’ve seen videos of guys completely abusing (like dragging behind truck) sending it in and they rebuilt for only shipping charges.

You can polish up the internals and work the mags a bit and they are actually pretty decent plinkers.

Some will say this is the worst gun ever, but I say it's the most underrated gun ever. What else performs better in that price range? Hint: the answer is "NOTHING"

I bought a hippint 380 brand new for $99 12 years ago or so. I have never had an issue with it and it is actually accurate.

After you return a gun to Bud's is it a "Collectors Item" and worth more? Plaque "This gun has been fired by Hickok45"

“They know it ain’t not joke. _I ain’t no joke.”_

Yes a high point is a heavy clunky piece of cheap plastic garbage, but it hit where he was pointing didn't it. Not everybody can afford a $1200 FN. Anything, even a Hi Point, is better than having nothing when something goes bump in the night.

Just a note to say I appreciate your videos, they’re very informative and interesting! Thank you!

But do they go off while they’re sitting in the holster? Or do I need to save up more money to buy a Sig if I want that feature?

This video presentation is exactly why You Sir are my favorite!! You’re the Joe Friday of guns. You give the FACTS and only the FACTS.

I thought you were gonna look down the barrel 😂! I recall a G&A or ST article on the .45cal Hi-Point. They made it sound sooo good, it almost made me think about trading in my 1960 Colt Gold Cup!

that "Oh thats a little too close.." I do that all the time too, get a little carried away then the sounds of near impacts make you think whats that sound... lol

Chunky slightly heavy but it is reliable. I carry 1 in every vehicle with 2spare mags(10 rounders). I ran 20,000 rds through a new one with out an issue before cleaning it😮😮😮 . Dependable they are. And High Point service is the tops and service.😊

“This gun will cost you your pride” 😂 simply glorious haha

Keeps my jet ski anchored perfectly everytime

With how chunky Hi-points are, I always thought they should make one where the whole top of the slide is just 1913 rail. Mount a scope, full size rifle red dot, or IR laser...whatever you need. I honestly think people would buy it just for the giggles.

I don't think the person standing on the other end would agree...

So, the Hi-Point is a gun that does everything it is supposed to do and has a lifetime warranty, but it is too cheap for you ?? Just send Hi-Point a couple of hundred bucks more and it will suddenly become a good gun ????????????

About five years ago, Rural Kings had the Taurus G2C on sale with a rebate the price was $155. Over a thousand round of about anything you can imagine. Not a single malfuntion yet. Got to say, much better than a Hi-Point at the same price.

I Love This Man’s Videos! Original and no edits .. oh and he’s not trying to be the next John wick

I have a 9mm pistol and carbine and a .45 pistol and carbine. If one uses the weapon, cleans it and lubricates it will work fine. At our age the slide is more difficult to work than for younger people.

I would fiddle with that rear sight to get it to shoot straight.

I can't believe you said PPK and Hi point in the same sentence. :) Rock on Hick!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. HICKOK ! Today is also my birthday too. Thank you for my education on firearms.

Hickock could shoot a water gun with no sights and hit what he’s aiming at!!! 😊

The are not sleek, sexy, ergonomic, it's heavy, the triggers suck, the safety system is awkward BUT it shoots shockingly well in terms of accuracy, it is ridiculously rugged, eats anything you feed it, economical for those who can't afford a higher end firearm, and it goes bang every single time. It functions better than the two Glocks I had that were jam-o-matics and no longer own because of it. Do I carry a HP for EDC? Absolutely not. but at the end of the day HP has a legitimate place in the market.

Very nice starter piece, especially for a budget. Shoots straight, become a club when empty, and if it gets stolen, it’s a hiPoint.

"Generally speaking, they work!" should be Hi-Point's advertising slogan...

It's a H&K VP 70 (Volk Pistole) copy. And, in my opinion, it has its place: backup of a backup, extra gun to give to your unprepared neighbor/family, holiday house backup gun, etc.

Hi-points have always seemed parallel to a disposable camera.

When I was a range safety officer, I talked to every Hi Point owner that I came across. Not a single one of them had complaints. I’m a fan.

Dang Hickok, been awhile for me... those black steel varmints are really taking over your range! At this point, you should tune them to a chromatic scale and play us a song with lead on steel 😂

Like my hi-points, thanks 😊

I've never liked them,but there price point is acceptable.

"Generally speaking, they tend to work" is the most insulting thing I've ever heard someone say about a firearm.

Thank you for the informative review.❤

I have two high points and they work fine for me I have no issues at all with them. Thats all I can say. I did not pay for perfection. But I have those too.

0.46 sec of the video “general speaking they “hi-point” tend to work” 😂😂😂 best statement for a gun review I’ve ever heard. Hilarious

I worked at a gun shop and we were a dealer for Hi-Point. We were in a poorer area, and they were easily our biggest seller. The gang rats didn't like them because their friends laughed at them, but the honest working folks who couldn't afford a Glock could at least get something they could fairly reliably defend their homes with.

Funny how dude fumbles around with the pistol like the "before" guy on a kitchen gadget infomarcial.

When Demolition Ranch tortured this gun to the point of putting a round into the chamber, and the gun still fired, we decided to put a carbine on the wishlist...the pistols do not interest us (I'll be honest, the 'Yeet Cannon' does, just because it has 'Yeet Cannon' in nice big letters on the slide), but there are a lot of us satisfied with the carbines...yes, the guns a big and heavy...yes, they tend to work...yes, find brand new any better at the price...it is NOT my problem when my cheap gun rings steel right beside a very expensive gun doing the same thing, umm, the bullets cannot tell the difference...

Hi-Point used to and maybe still does in the manual, tells you to send it back for cleaning after 5000 rounds. They don't intend for it to be field stripped and cleaned. Just spray it down and keep going.

oooh, that thiccy thiccy thicc yeet canon.

Hickok has super powers and can even make a hipoint function

When i see that cyber tesla i think man it looks like a hi point 😂😂

Never had a Problem with mine. Not my everyday carry but it will work when you need it.

Hi Point was my first firearm. I've come a long way since then, but they still make a decent "truck gun" that you can keep in your glove box and not be too concerned if it were to get stolen. Their carbines are fun. The thing is that since I bought mine a dozen years ago or so, other quality options have become available at very reasonable prices (thinking of Taurus, specifically, but there are others as well).

poor man special

Yup, they always work. 1911's 3x price dont work unless you put another 700 in smithing

They work incredibly well. Very utilitarian. I have several more expensive guns but there is something to be said for a very inexpensive, reliable Ameeican made gun.

UAFA ZiP: hold my beer...

Those things just work…period.

worst gun ever?? "Blah blah heavy, Other then that, it's a great gun" - Hickock The reason gunsnobs hate on the c9 is the price. It's hard to justify spending big money on a fancy 9mm pistol when the hipoint sells new for under $💯

A hipoint that ran two mags back to back

Ain't nuthin wrong with a firearm that goes bang when you press the bang switch.

The yeet cannon better than any glock ever made and that’s not saying much 😂😂😂

“ This one will cost you your pride”. Lmao. It’s been proven over and over again if your chamber a round in a High Point, it will fire.

He said H I G H P O I N T . . . ! ! ! 😂 😂 😂

Is it kangaroo fur on da table ?

A big plus, when you smoke pot, you can imagine the high point being a glock, sig, ruger etc...

Those of you that think a Highpoint is junk. It it was pointing at your face, how confident are you that it wouldn't work?

Imagine the bad guy realizing he got shot by a good guy with a Hi Point. Once they are taken apart a couple of times, they get easier to take apart.

I jave one ,it was cheap its heavy and its accurate as hell,i have the JHP45.

I've never made a comment on any of your videos I don't think I did anyway But you should never have to field strip a Hi-Point for cleaning they're not designed to be taken apart like that there's no need to take them apart for cleaning All you need to clean a Hi point with is a boar snake handsome Ballistol

Guy's with all do respect, Hickok45's having trouble with the Hi-Point did not seem to be a problem with the gun. Maybe he did not like the gun and was trying to show that it was hard to work with. Don't get me wrong I have been following Hickok45 for years, I like him. But I have owned 4 of this Hi-Point gun and have not had a problem with any of them, not any problems.

You: any pistol of your choice vs Hickok45: hi-point... you better be more worried about whst tennis shoes you chose

Best thing about a Hi-Point? You can use it as a club when your low count magazine runs dry or it jams up in a firefight. Haha!

That sccy is worse than the highpoint and highpoints are lifetime guarantee.I’d trust a highpoint over a sccy for sure

Better than the single shot the army made in WWII!
