I traded my colt .38 revolver plus 3 bills from his side for a c9 just like this one. Its very damn heavy wich is no problem for me cuz i like the way heavy guns feel. Its a bad ass durable little 9mm. Great gun for the price.
fuck that cheap as gun get a glock or ruger or hk or sig sauer or smith and wesson or fnh that gun sucks balls i had that when i was 13 and it jammed like hell now im legal and only buy nice shit might be expensive but when ma life is on the line i wont use a high point
Glocks have such wide tolerances they've been known to cause kabooms...and much like Remington have covered up the inherent flaws in their system. Sadly all the fan(girl)s of either weapon jump on the bandwagon; often with very little knowledge of why. Sig and HK are both pretty good brands, but often too expensive for those on a low budget.
I'd recommend a .45 or .380 HiPoint to someone in need of cheap home defense...they're plenty reliable compared to a stick or used .25 acp
for ppl that get jam's with the C9 . Don't limp wrist, clean and lube the gun, and use 124 gr and better that will help a lot and yes the clip might need to modified a little
i own a high point and a glock the high point is good for the money, but it is way too heavy for concealed carry i keep mine in the glove box and carry my glock on me i've never had a misfire with my high point

@Cartberries yea...? have you actually ever shot one..or even owned one? huuuuuu...or do you just follow every one else and say what every one else says. you probably know nothing bout this gun.
I have the high point 9mm and the 45. The 9mm, I have fired over a thousand rounds and never had a jam up. The first clip, you need to oil the gun real well before you fire it. This will help seat the gun in. I have had the 9 for about 10 years without a problem. The 45, I have had for about 6 months and never had any problems...remember lube it up before you fire it the first time.
@HiPointMan Congratulations, goes to show that even a broken clock is right 2 times a day. You should not need to adjust a brand new fire arm out of the box. I know that there are ways to make these weapons "more" reliable; however, at the end of the day I would not trust a High Point with my life. If you are looking for a good, reliable fire arm there are several companies that produce them; none of which are High Point.
Hell... even I got one, and I own a Sig and S&Ws. Just gona leave it as a "bathroom gun" because I don't wana expose my more expensive guns to the moisture... rather have a much cheaper gun (with powder coating finish) for that... gona rap a towel around it to absorbe most of the moisture.
hi gracias esto si me sirvio pues estoy por comprar una de esas aqui en mexico, esta es recien traida de texas, aqui en mex estan un poco mas caras que en usa, pero---mejor tenerla y no ocuparla que ocuparla y no tenerla--- ya que la guerra esta al 100 en my city la comprare hoy mismo gracias rob
@TheCrazyTman I conceal a hi-point... I don't think I'm a gang banger, least I hope not anyway.
Either way, I've owned my hi-point for 2+ years and not a problem so far, pop a round in and it goes bang every time.. Anyway, get back to your YouTube reviews and your bandwagon opinions.
everyone has their own choices. don't knock someone else's choice of firearm. one round is enough to take someone down, if the shot is placed right. other guns have equal or worse problems. if you're having issues with someone buying a gun that performs equally for a fifth of the cost, i'm sorry. not everyone makes as much as you, and if you're good with your peice, that's all that matters.
when i took my ccw shooting test a guy was taking it with a high point 9mm and it jammed twice from each line and the instructer said hey good thing that thing has some weight to it so when it jams you can just throw it at the bad guy.
The gun needs to be broken in, DOES it work? These people on here are fucking idiot cocksuckers man, THERE are a lot of people that say they don't jam, what is the truth?
i got a high point and other pistols,and the high point is very accurate and does not jam ive put over 3000 rounds through mine,to all you guys talking shit about people buying a high point mind yours you sound like girls talking about purses and anyways what do you care what anyone buys?you guys say you would not trust it with your life well i do just try comming in my house and youll find out if it jams or not.
Yes law enforcement carry High Point, Believe me i should know. Very impressive weapon ,made in USA! I will own no other weapon til this Brand fails me ,whiich it has not! thank you High point!
What does the way you hold the gun have to do with it jamming?? Even if guns are fresh out of the box they shouldnt jam...hi-points suck its not a myth they really suck. Just remember you get what you pay for.
@ericthegreat318 He he :) Noob. You can limp wrist a Glock, a Sig, an H&K and they will all fail to feed. The lighter the frame the more firmly you need to hold them to retain the recoil energy needed to rack the next round. The only gun that wont fail to feed on you is a good old revolver. You are right about High Points being shit though.
listen to this guy talk he talks up the gun so much and talks about how good the performance is ,then in the same sentence he says how many times it jams ,then says how heavy it is ,how big it is ,how shity it is for concealed weapon purposes,I guess if you look past all the multiple functioning problems,it might shoot what you want ,DONT BET YOUR LIFE ON IT OR YOUR FAMILY'S
what a shitty concealed weapon dam thing weighs like 2lbs. unloaded ,better carry it in a backpack or something along with your back up after that one jams after the first 2 shots lol
@bdg909 You must have money so in turn compare $500 guns to $150 guns and yes when I was younger I did play basketball in wal-mart shoes and I was one of the best players. Fact is the Hi Point 9mm is not a bad gun. Be a man and grip the gun because if you dont it will jam.
Hi Rob - we spoke before - So, how is your Hi Point c9 doing? How many rounds to you have thru it by now? I still want to purchase one but I live in San Francisco, California & they are pretty hard to get here. You're Lucky. Thanks Sincerely, JAMES.
All you people talking about shotguns for home defense, thats a great idea. However, have you ever shot a 12ga. in a house.... better hope you hit the first time and that there is only one target. The muzzle flash and sound of the shotgun will leave you disoriented with a ring in you ears and loss of sight. I would use my C9 over my 12ga pump any day for home defense.... My wife would have the shotty in the bedroom backing me up!
@cmcginnis09 Have you? If you use 7 1/2 or 8 shot low dram or handicap loads, there is no flash. If you had ever been in a fire fight you would know that you don't hear the shot. And most people can't remember how many rds were fired. If you ever go get some instruction on defensive shooting or compete in IDPA, you'll quickly learn how naked you are with that pot metal pistol. Why do you suppose they are so inexpensive?
@DMarksmanLima21 Yea, the reason you don't remember how many rounds you fired is exactly what im talking about, flash or no flash you still loose your orientation thats all im saying. Stand in front of my C9 man I will show you how naked I am then, mine shoots great...
@cmcginnis09 I was going to explain why people lose hearing in a fire fight, but you couldn't understand, your too young and much too invincible and fearless. Your a modern day SUPERMAN...good luck growing up kid.
I have narrowed it down to the clip. That is probably the only thing it could be. At least for me that is my conclusion. I replaced my clip today, shot it, it jammed, I bumped the clip, fired the rest as fast as i could pull the trigger. to those of you who are contemplating buying one, go for it. NOBODY else will honor the warranty like they do. great video

Hello again Rob. So, could you please give me an update? How many round do you have thru the c9 by now? Notice any difference? Have you had to do any feed ramp polishing? Just wondering because I am on the list at my gunshop for purchase of this gun - just so I can tinker around & hopefully make it so that is just to my liking. As always Thanks again for any feedback greatly appreciated. Sincerely, JAMES.
Got my c9 several months ago and am happy with it. Shoots every time and is accurate. I even like the heavy slide which helps my accuracy. Some have had a problem with the magazine but I didn't have to massage mine. Hope the 10 round mag I'm ordering works as well.
My brother was all excited today when he bought one today, he brought it to my house and I pointed out to him how the serial number was scratched off. We had to take a trip down to the Niobrara river.
i would be to embarrassed to ever buy a high point, it's ugly. it's unreliable, if i was going to only spend 150 on a gun i would buy a used shotgun, i would rather save money for something better
good information. Thanks. I was looking at it not to show off at the local range but just to plink a cheap round (9mm)with a inexpensive gun. I have read that it is not cheap due to its construction but rather its older technology they have perfected and is cheaper to manufacture....??? my 2 cents thanks again
@syjstr "A lot of cops carry Hi-Point pistols as their backup!" A lot of cops know shit about guns. Spend some decent money on a firearm meant to protect your life, it's one thing you shouldn't go cheap on.
i own all kinds of pistols!!! i bought this gun just to have it in my collection. heavy as hell, ugly brick!!! but you pay cheap you will get cheap!! to save my life, i will noooot carry this heavy ugly shit
everytime i shoot this gun i love it more and more. Mine had a very short break in period, it has not jammed since the first 50 rounds, and i have put around 350 rounds-ish, and a lot of more expensive guns where they say it takes about 300 rounds to break in. The gun is bulky but for just at the range or for home protection it would be fine, i would not want to lug this around all day for ccw, i wouldnt mind it for a couple hours if im just walking in the woods though. great review!
You train with what you have. Not with what you wish you had. A 9mm from a High-Point is deadly as a 9mm from any other semi-automatic pistol.
All these people on youtube making fun of High-Point owners calling them ghetto-guns, pos's...etc, all these, need to get a life. If all you can afford is a High-Point, then buy a High-Point. Do your research on the gun and buy it.
Not everyone can afford $500 for a Glock or XD or the like. You train with what you have and you'll be ok.
@MNU1978 Assuming it doesn't jam. I just commented on a video of a guy with a high point and he said he had to get it fixed 3 times and it still jammed. You don't have to spend 500$ for a good semi automatic pistol. They sell Makarov's for 229.95 on centerfiresystems. A very reliable and proven pistol. If all you can afford is a high point, BUY a better pistol for the same price.
It has to be the UGLIEST gun ever made. So it's a gun of questionable quality and terrible looks, Other than the price(and they couldn't charge much) I don't see the attraction. I guess it's better than nothing.......... I guess
this is perfect home defense, short of shotgun. You shoot an intruder and the cops come and take your gun, good luck getting your 500 dollar s&w, glock, or whatever back. If you dont get your hipoint back your out 150, sounds better to me. Good guns just get a bad rap for being so low priced. SNOBS!!!
@offroadram95 ...I'm a snob too, but I have to admit, you have made the best case in favor of Hi-Point that I have seen on the internet thus far. I hadn't thought about the cost factor in the event of a shooting. I guess that goes to show that you CAN learn something from a YouTube forum. Have you heard about anyone around your area that KaBoomed with a Hi-Point?
@LibertariansAreLiars I have heard bad stories about hi points, yes. BUT, that story usually involves the phrases "a freind of mine had one, I saw a guy at the range, or I heard". Most of the people that beat up on hi points have never even owned one, much less shot one themselves. Most of the people that do give them a chance say they are well worth the money. I myself do own one and have never had an issue. My C-9 has even been more reliable than my buddies glock, for what thats worth!!!
i own one of these and im very happy with its performance and found if i leave the clip one shy of full it will never jam at least mine doesnt i love my high point and good review brother
I just got the 40 cal version today. I noticed it doesn't have a trigger safety like I've seen on other pistols.
I am a total noob when it comes to guns so after "cocking" this gun with a bullet in the chamber, what prevents it from accidentally firing if you accidentally mess with the trigger? I know it has a slide lock thing but what does that do even?
A 9mm will in fact kill you...but at the end of the day you get what you pay for. After a couple thousand rounds (I AM BEING NICE) tell me how often it jams, FTE, and double feeds. I fired a .40 High Point and it jammed 2 times in one Mag. At the end of the day though, if you like your gun who cares.
@bigredbrickshithouse ill bet yours does work fine , you probly never shoot the dam thing ,like the old saying goes ya get wgut you pay for your probly the kind of guy who plays basketball in walmart shoes to because they work fine ,fucking lame
@bdg909 Wow do you know me because I did in deed wear walmart shoes to play basketball and I was one of the best players on the team.Anyway to the topic at hand sir dont anger me show some respect and be a grown up the Hi point 9mm will jam everytime if you are being a child and holding it limp wrist.
Great vid! This is my 1st handgun, it was perchased for home protection, and i love it. Like you said, it feels like a tank in your hand, and the recoil is easily handleable. And only 14$ for 50 rounds. I was wondering though, if you could do a quick video on a quick/basic cleaning. This is my 1st gun i want to make sure i can do a quick cleaning after each use.
Good review. I just tried mine yesterday and love the feel of it. I shot about 60 rounds threw it and it never jammed on me but I was using brass jackets like the dealer told me to. Definitely not a good carry concealed handgun but you can't beat the price.
My Hi-Point C9 has never jammed, not even out-of-the-box. The magazine is what causes feeding problems, so I tried to fix the mag before I even stuck it in the gun for the first time. What I did was: I took a large flathead screwdriver and used it to push down the feeding ramp til' it reached the bottom of the mag, a bit past where the 8th round would sit if the mag were fully loaded. This method seemed to tame the spring and help the feeding ramp slide better along the walls of the mag.
Any type of Brass jacketed bullets works well for me. Do not use steal jacketed bullets they are not as superior as brass and tend to jam. Ball point or hollow points seem to work great.
Also, a lot of the complaints I have read aside from the gun snobs "its cheap" bullshit is that they dont load well when chambering and this comes from people trying to gently walk the round in with the slide rather than pulling it back and letting it slam in as in field conditions. In other words its a handlers malfunction and not a malfunction of the gun.
I have the C9, the .45 ACP, and the 9mm carbine. I am very happy with them all although the .45 does tend to jam a bit but no more than a lot of other more expensive .45's. I was actually impressed with the accuracy in the C9 for a compact pistol. Also I found just today on the highpoint firearms website that they now make new stocks for the carbines that look a lot more tactical although I am not sure these are the guns would would want for a tactical situation.
strictly speaking service wise, they are great weapons. you pull the trigger and tehy go "bang". Price wise, again they get good points. Design wise, one mans ugly gun is another mans ugly gun that looks kinda cool...lol...i'm not a fan just by looking at them, but they do function, i have one in my Ford Expedition, and thats where it stays,
the 45 is a good fun range gun, all others are garbage, sorry to hear you will have trust your life to it. you will get tired of carrying that brick on your hip in a week, my G 26, i dont even feel it, and my LCP is a featherweight life saver. goo luck to you, hope you never have to use it in self defense
I've got this gun, and I am an avid shooter and sportsman. I think it is pretty funny reading all the comments bashing this gun. I have never had my High Point jam up on me. Not once. It is a pleasure to shoot and carry while hunting, fishing, or whatever. I paid $95 - Brand new for my High Point, and couldn't be happier. I can guarantee it will put a round down range, or in an intruder just as quickly as any of you guys packing guns costing $600-$800 or more.
one you dont carry a hi-point they are to heavy 29oz and to bulky...hard to conceal. they are good for home defense or just out at the range..yea you may have to make some changes...but that is with all guns
Hey gamerguy if you need a gun for home defense buy a shotgun. If you want to buy a pistol safe your money and get a reliable gun. Have you ever seen a cop packing a high piont? all theese guys leaving good reviews, own a high piont and are proud of their crappy gun. the truth is it is one of the most un reliable guns out there.
@syjstr ur talking out ur ass no cop any were carries a high point for anything its not even in there choose of standerd issuie so it isnt even posaible for them to be able to carry them most cops dont even carrie a back up gun just there one full size handgun they have a shotgun or a ar15 in there trunk or up front in a gun rake between the seats and even that depeneds on there job and rank sometimes u see a swat or a speciles teams cop carrie a small revaler but never a high point ur a dumbsss
IMO anybody who carries a HiPoint isn't very bright in terms of conceal carry unless it's the only thing they can afford. I don't say this because HiPoint .380's or .45 ACP's aren't reliable enough to do what most anybody would need it for...I say it because they're extremely wide, heavy, and will print if you're wearing anything thinner than a bubblecoat.
They won't print if you know how to conceal them properly. I have a video on my channel of myself concealing a Hi Point 9mm with nothing more than a t shirt.....and I only weigh 125 pounds. People who can't conceal them aren't trying very hard. If i can, I think almost anyone can.
@theresa52 ive never had my highpoint 45 jam with over 2000 rounds through it. its a god awefull heavy unbalanced gun though ,thats my guess is why most people wont use it as a service gun. I think this gun is great for a range gun though. home defence though... id go straight for my shotgun. not sure if i happened to get a good one or what but im very happy with it! But... id rather use my browning high power over it.
@theresa52 I have a few different guns. My Hi Point is totally reliable and has never jammed. PD uses other weapons due to city contractual agreements with weapons distributors. Also the amount of rounds they shoot through them. Hi Point has a 5 star rating with the BBB and stands behind every product they sell. Not everyone has 800 dollars for a gun. Have you ever even used one? Do you own one?
Do people really have to spend $400-600 on a weapon with all luck and likelihood they will never even have to shoot in anger? Get some perspective, you know you've got your priorities wrong if the gun used to defend your house is the single most valuable item in there (relative to size).
has anyone ever heard you get what you pay for? there is a reason why that is a 160 dollar gun. no one who knows anything about guns would carry that thing.
I have a C-9 I am totally happy with. One FTF in the first clip.......300 rounds later...nothing....I put the ghost sight on and I have NEVER been more accurate with a weapon! What a value!
Happy birthday Rob. You got yourself a very nice birthday present. I wish I could get one myself but I have far too many handguns to justify that. The reason I would get it is because I'm a tinkerer and I like to do small pistol modifications. On this c9 there are a few mods you should do to make your shooting more enjoyable and fun. Just subed. Be well and safe. Sincerely,d JAMES.
Man nobody can bash on the C9 the guns nice and for 165 new that beats alot or other pistols on the market in price and look at most reviews people will say its good gun
It all depends on the gun I guess. I've had my high point 9mm for about six months, have put a few hundred rounds through it, and NEVER have I had a jam once. It goes without saying that you get what you pay for, but as far as I'm concerned, the gun still gets the job done.
i owed this gun once,its not that heavy,when i carried it on my waist,the clip release hit a part of my pants and the clip fell out i all ways had problems with that clip release button and i dont like holsters
Hello i am looking for a gun for home defense and i can olny spend 200 bucks so this seems like a good idea. Is it reliable? Have you had any more jaming issuses? Its my first gun and i do like the looks of it so thanks in advance
Perfect for home defense! Grab some good brass hollow points and you will love the effect it gives when hitting flesh. Perfect for the price but it is def heavy so if your weak you will not like this pistol!
I am not weak i have held a 1911 colt so it cant be much heavyer than that thanks very much i have askede a few and you gave the best answer i just turned 18 and as soon as i get my money i am going to get one.
congrats, I have had one for over 5 years, NEVER a failure with ANY ammo. Its better to spend a bit more money and not have to worry about breakdowns and repairs, than being cheap in the beginning and paying with your like at the end. Use it in good health
I traded my colt .38 revolver plus 3 bills from his side for a c9 just like this one. Its very damn heavy wich is no problem for me cuz i like the way heavy guns feel. Its a bad ass durable little 9mm. Great gun for the price.

listen to this guy talk he talks up the gun so much and talks about how good the performance is ,then in the same sentence he says how many times it jams ,then says how heavy it is ,how big it is ,how shity it is for concealed weapon purposes,I guess if you look past all the multiple functioning problems,it might shoot what you want ,DONT BET YOUR LIFE ON IT OR YOUR FAMILY'S

@bdg909 You must have money so in turn compare $500 guns to $150 guns and yes when I was younger I did play basketball in wal-mart shoes and I was one of the best players. Fact is the Hi Point 9mm is not a bad gun. Be a man and grip the gun because if you dont it will jam.

Hi Rob - we spoke before - So, how is your Hi Point c9 doing? How many rounds to you have thru it by now? I still want to purchase one but I live in San Francisco, California & they are pretty hard to get here. You're Lucky. Thanks Sincerely, JAMES.

All you people talking about shotguns for home defense, thats a great idea. However, have you ever shot a 12ga. in a house.... better hope you hit the first time and that there is only one target. The muzzle flash and sound of the shotgun will leave you disoriented with a ring in you ears and loss of sight. I would use my C9 over my 12ga pump any day for home defense.... My wife would have the shotty in the bedroom backing me up!
cmcginnis09 1 year ago
@cmcginnis09 Have you? If you use 7 1/2 or 8 shot low dram or handicap loads, there is no flash. If you had ever been in a fire fight you would know that you don't hear the shot. And most people can't remember how many rds were fired. If you ever go get some instruction on defensive shooting or compete in IDPA, you'll quickly learn how naked you are with that pot metal pistol. Why do you suppose they are so inexpensive?
DMarksmanLima21 1 year ago
@DMarksmanLima21 Yea, the reason you don't remember how many rounds you fired is exactly what im talking about, flash or no flash you still loose your orientation thats all im saying. Stand in front of my C9 man I will show you how naked I am then, mine shoots great...

I have narrowed it down to the clip. That is probably the only thing it could be. At least for me that is my conclusion. I replaced my clip today, shot it, it jammed, I bumped the clip, fired the rest as fast as i could pull the trigger. to those of you who are contemplating buying one, go for it.

Hello again Rob. So, could you please give me an update? How many round do you have thru the c9 by now? Notice any difference? Have you had to do any feed ramp polishing? Just wondering because I am on the list at my gunshop for purchase of this gun - just so I can tinker around & hopefully make it so that is just to my liking. As always Thanks again for any feedback greatly appreciated. Sincerely, JAMES.

Got my c9 several months ago and am happy with it. Shoots every time and is accurate. I even like the heavy slide which helps my accuracy. Some have had a problem with the magazine but I didn't have to massage mine. Hope the 10 round mag I'm ordering works as well.

everytime i shoot this gun i love it more and more. Mine had a very short break in period, it has not jammed since the first 50 rounds, and i have put around 350 rounds-ish, and a lot of more expensive guns where they say it takes about 300 rounds to break in. The gun is bulky but for just at the range or for home protection it would be fine, i would not want to lug this around all day for ccw, i wouldnt mind it for a couple hours if im just walking in the woods though. great review!

You train with what you have. Not with what you wish you had. A 9mm from a High-Point is deadly as a 9mm from any other semi-automatic pistol.
All these people on youtube making fun of High-Point owners calling them ghetto-guns, pos's...etc, all these, need to get a life. If all you can afford is a High-Point, then buy a High-Point. Do your research on the gun and buy it.
Not everyone can afford $500 for a Glock or XD or the like. You train with what you have and you'll be ok.
MNU1978 1 year ago
@MNU1978 Assuming it doesn't jam. I just commented on a video of a guy with a high point and he said he had to get it fixed 3 times and it still jammed. You don't have to spend 500$ for a good semi automatic pistol. They sell Makarov's for 229.95 on centerfiresystems. A very reliable and proven pistol. If all you can afford is a high point, BUY a better pistol for the same price.

this is perfect home defense, short of shotgun. You shoot an intruder and the cops come and take your gun, good luck getting your 500 dollar s&w, glock, or whatever back. If you dont get your hipoint back your out 150, sounds better to me. Good guns just get a bad rap for being so low priced. SNOBS!!!

@offroadram95 ...I'm a snob too, but I have to admit, you have made the best case in favor of Hi-Point that I have seen on the internet thus far.

Have you heard about anyone around your area that KaBoomed with a Hi-Point?
LibertariansAreLiars 1 year ago
@LibertariansAreLiars I have heard bad stories about hi points, yes. BUT, that story usually involves the phrases "a freind of mine had one, I saw a guy at the range, or I heard". Most of the people that beat up on hi points have never even owned one, much less shot one themselves. Most of the people that do give them a chance say they are well worth the money. I myself do own one and have never had an issue. My C-9 has even been more reliable than my buddies glock, for what thats worth!!!

iliketowatch1234 1 year ago
My Hi-Point C9 has never jammed, not even out-of-the-box. The magazine is what causes feeding problems, so I tried to fix the mag before I even stuck it in the gun for the first time. What I did was: I took a large flathead screwdriver and used it to push down the feeding ramp til' it reached the bottom of the mag, a bit past where the 8th round would sit if the mag were fully loaded. This method seemed to tame the spring and help the feeding ramp slide better along the walls of the mag.

Also, a lot of the complaints I have read aside from the gun snobs "its cheap" bullshit is that they dont load well when chambering and this comes from people trying to gently walk the round in with the slide rather than pulling it back and letting it slam in as in field conditions. In other words its a handlers malfunction and not a malfunction of the gun.
tempestaisback 1 year ago
I have the C9, the .45 ACP, and the 9mm carbine. I am very happy with them all although the .45 does tend to jam a bit but no more than a lot of other more expensive .45's. I was actually impressed with the accuracy in the C9 for a compact pistol. Also I found just today on the highpoint firearms website that they now make new stocks for the carbines that look a lot more tactical although I am not sure these are the guns would would want for a tactical situation.

strictly speaking service wise, they are great weapons. you pull the trigger and tehy go "bang". Price wise, again they get good points.

It is a pleasure to shoot and carry while hunting, fishing, or whatever. I paid $95 - Brand new for my High Point, and couldn't be happier. I can guarantee it will put a round down range, or in an intruder just as quickly as any of you guys packing guns costing $600-$800 or more.

@jls172008
IMO anybody who carries a HiPoint isn't very bright in terms of conceal carry unless it's the only thing they can afford. I don't say this because HiPoint .380's or .45 ACP's aren't reliable enough to do what most anybody would need it for...I say it because they're extremely wide, heavy, and will print if you're wearing anything thinner than a bubblecoat.

They won't print if you know how to conceal them properly. I have a video on my channel of myself concealing a Hi Point 9mm with nothing more than a t shirt.....and I only weigh 125 pounds. People who can't conceal them aren't trying very hard. If i can, I think almost anyone can.

@theresa52 I have a few different guns. My Hi Point is totally reliable and has never jammed. PD uses other weapons due to city contractual agreements with weapons distributors. Also the amount of rounds they shoot through them. Hi Point has a 5 star rating with the BBB and stands behind every product they sell. Not everyone has 800 dollars for a gun.
