High point 45 ACP My experience.wmv

[pharaohbakura]

anything made by hi point is garbage. I had the hi point 9mm pistol at one time, and it jammed almost every other shot. It's heavy, inaccurate, and it doesnt last long at all. Spend the extra $200 and get something alot better. I carry a Springfield 1911 .45

[theturdpit]

Excellent video and review.

[000bountyagent000]

thanks for the input and because of your video i went an purchase'd a 45cal hi point cause of the price,i paid $165.00 ,its never jammed yet knock on wood an the size is very intimidating,,but thanks for the info,keep up the good work...

[7archers]

@000bountyagent000 Thanks for the response. I am thinking of getting a 9mm some day to.

[USMC1775GUY]

Why did you pay $180 for it? That guy cheated you out of your money! They go for $120/$140 RETAIL!

[7archers]

@USMC1775GUY Hmm. Where did you see it at that price? I'll check it out.

[jokeybob]

@USMC1775GUY The only place I have seen these that low is at Cheaper Than Dirt and they are out right now with no B.O.s allowed. Out side of that you can find sales all the time. Check Google. I paid 159.99 for mine.

[johnnyboy922]

they are great pistols. they will take more beating than you can dish out too them. accuracy is great. trigger sucks but its a poor mans bullet launcher. it will kill what you point it at. you will not win any cool points at the shooting range but you sure get your moneys worth and it serves the purpose a gun is supposed to

[AvonLakeAirsoft]

Ehhhh I wouldn't trust my life with a hi-point. I hear they've improved, but I trust my Glock 22 and Sig 226 moreso than I would a hi-point.

[7archers]

@AvonLakeAirsoft ther ceratinly is nothing wrong with the Glock. HI point is the better price. I would trust it.

[SurvivalReality]

I have put 100s of rounds through one with no issues at all. Accurate and deadly. And! If you run out of ammo its heavy enough you can take down a bull elephant by whacking him between the eyes with it.  Good Review!

[7archers]

@SurvivalReality "And! If you run out of ammo its heavy enough you can take down a bull elephant by whacking him between the eyes with it." LOL. I guess you could say it is an all purpose weapon. Thanks for sharing.

[skyhop]

If you want to buy a hipoint, because you want a hipoint, that's all fine. When you buy one because you claim that's all you can afford, but you pick up a coffee from starbucks on the way to work, or blow money on a movie, etc... Then you claim that's all you're willing to pay for a gun... I think you have mental issues. You could have picked up a used glock 20 in 10mm, which is ideal for a trail gun, and you only would have had to miss a few movies to afford it.

[bigrebnc1861]

Hi Point you either hate or love it religiously

[85Sirex]

Good review. I bought the C9 and .45 for home defense in addition to a 12G, so I won't be carrying them. I've had no problems with either of mine. A lot of safety features. With having a mortgage, 2 kids, car payments, medical bills, pricewise they have provided a level of portable defense we wouldn't otherwise be able to afford. And at less than $200, it's warranted for life.

[7archers]

@85Sirex Thank you for the comment. I use mine when hunting for extra protection.  Fires great.

[jbkinna]

Honest review. They are ugly. I bought one the first models used and broken. Missing parts. I called the company and told them what parts I needed they sent them free of charge. The gun works flawlessly. I enjoy shooting it. So for the $60.00 dollars I spent I have a great gun.

[7archers]

@jbkinna wow! the first models had problems, but the company did you well. Glad to hear it. $60.00, guess you couldn't go wrong with that.

[TheRstsniper]

Robocops back up pistol lmao

[afnNightmare]

I think for your needs, you need a glock. 1911's are great, but for defense for animals or humans, I would get a glock. But glad you enjoy shooting

[7archers]

@afnNightmare I* like the 1911 also. One day when I get a few dollars, I plan on getting one.  My High point is shooting well.

Thanks for your comment.

[johnnyboy922]

@afnNightmare if your into glocks that much he could also go springfield xdm. I like glocks but cant stand when people are myopic like the ford vs chevy guys i think its funny how you can own all the glocks and have a bunch of guns that look exactly the same. they are boring but yes they are great quality. totally over hyped though there are many many many equal guns in quality and price point

[OCD450]

This was a great review. Like you I did not have the money for a expensive 45 so I went the Hi-point way. After seeing the youtube reviews from several people, I was in fear of what I got myself into. Was I wrong! The gun has been perfect thus far. Like you said, it is ugly, but I can live with ugly if it will do the job it was made to do.

[7archers]

@OCD450 Thanks for the comment, and I agree.

[AngryMorrow]

Great review. I shot one before at my buddys house and loved it. So I got one to carry when I go boar hunting.

[JDK1981]

you can take down a hipoint by cocking it back and punching 2 pins out, not very hard. and ive broke my down  more than that. not hard

[7archers]

@JDK1981 Thanks for the info. There are also some videos on youtube that show how to do it.

[cramsa]

I heard the the high point handguns were not even designed to be taken down like a regular handgun for cleaning/maintainance. That right there tells you it's not designed to last as long as a more expensive firearm (parts made in zinc etc.) your life is not on the line when plinking. For great deals on quality real service hanguns seek "police trad ins," carried alot & shot very little at 1/2+ new gun price like $350 glock wt 3 mags+ night sights, or $250-$300 S&W 4th generation semiautos.

[7archers]

@cramsa There are videos here on youtube that discus breaking them down for cleaning. You may want to check them out.

I think that the lifetime warranty says a lot for them being a pistle that will last.

[Sorionc]

@cramsa the life time warranty that they honor no questions asked tell me its built for life. i have thousands of rnds through my c9 and not so much as a jam.

[7archers]

@Sorionc I agree, that says it all.

[darney555]

nice video! im picking one up from a co worker the .45 i dont mind it being heavy at all.. i hope i enjoy it as much as you do yours

[FOREMAN3301]

Also it dis it the first time I fired it. I've tried different brands and grain but same problem.

[7archers]

@FOREMAN3301 I think you may want to call the company. You realize they have a lifetime warranty on it. They are a good pistol. But if you do happen to have a defect or something , they should replace it.

[FOREMAN3301]

Yes I know about chambering a round, I mean almost every three rounds I fire it has trouble ejecting the spent shell and it will jam up. I still like my hi point for the price I paid, but I favor my xdm .40

[FOREMAN3301]

The 9mm had no problems. My .45 jams every three rounds. Yes it is ugly and very heavy. It is a good night stand gun.

[7archers]

@FOREMAN3301 When you pull it back make sure to let it go. don't push it back. Look at 3:52 to 4:05 to see what I mean.

[play030]

I have the Hipoint 9mm & .40 and I love them both.

[7archers]

@play030 I think I would like to try the 9mm. I am thinking of picking one up.

Thanks for your comment.

[deathbutt09]

it looks pretty to me

[7archers]

@deathbutt09 I thought it was ugly, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  I wil say it say it is a good gun.

Thanks for commenting.

[TheZSITCHIN]

hey man next time you review a gun skip your bullsh*t hunting trip stories PLEASE. this is about a 45 crap pistol and i have to sit through an elk story. love the old navy shirt and the whole talking in front of a bunch of books, guess that makes you some kind of expert. an ex is a has-been and a spurt is a leak under pressure. maybe next video you can use a british accent like harry potter that really makes you sound smart. you sir are a friggin idiot!

[7archers]

@TheZSITCHIN If you have something to share that can be positive feel free to leave comments, but if you insist on running your mouth, not offering anything of any intellectual value, then don't bother commenting because next time I will just block you.

[givemyhatback]

thank you for actual clear review.

[7archers]

@givemyhatback I am glad it helped.

[jaredleospirit]

@7archers , you will only know if the gun has moderate recoil is if you compare it to another gun with same caliber.

[7archers]

@jaredleospirit I agree. 

[afro20man]

Good straight forward review

[7archers]

@afro20man Thank you. I appreciate the comment.

Blessings

[rybnijac000]

Great story, great gun. The make a .45 and .40 and .380 and a 9mm. They also make rifles too if i remember correctly.

[7archers]

@rybnijac000 That is good to know.  I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the information.

[clewi1091]

Thanks for the video. I have recently looked into this gun and I have thought about buying it. I am wanting one for home protection mainly. I saw the reviews on youtube by Iraqveteran8888 and they tried alot of things to destroy this gun. Things that most guns would never go through. Thanks again.

[7archers]

@clewi1091 I saw that same video just a couple of weeks ago. It was very impressive.

[darkwriter77]

You can pick up a cheap shoulder holster off Amazon or eBay (around $20) that would make carrying that beast all day a LOT more comfortable. People knock Hi-Points because they're in the same price range as some truly horrible guns made by Jimenez Arms, Cobra Arms, etc. but they're every bit as good (functionally) as the $300 on up guns - they're just heavy and hideous, that's all. :-) Might be picking one up myself soon, in fact, to add to my little collection...

[7archers]

@darkwriter77 I haven't been on ebay for a while. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the tip.

[officialpyrex]

i just recently purchased the 45 acp and have taken it out 2 times and put about 100 rounds thru it and have had no problem..really good gun for the price and i dont mind the weight nor the look of it ...gets the job done

[7archers]

@officialpyrex I agree. I like mine.  Thanks for sharing

[grafdale1]

enjoyed the story and the advice as well.

God bless brother

[7archers]

@grafdale1 I really do enjoy it. It does get heavy if you carry it into the woods.

Blessings
