The Hi-Point Yeet Cannon 9mm is FINALLY HERE

It's better looking I believe, still big and ugly. But if it's like other Hi Points I have experienced from other club members it will always go bang, be relatively accurate, weigh your pants down, and be a pain to field strip.

And as a general rule, I find they are more comfortable to shoot than any Glock I have tried.

Cheers. I concur completely. I suppose it shouldn't, but it irks me when people utterly damn something, then reveal they've absolutely NO history with the article. It is ugly. It is very budget-friendly. The slide is uncommonly large and heavy (it's blow-back; it wouldn't operate otherwise), and so on. Would I purchase one? Not at all likely. Will I continue to shoot them? Every chance I get. Do I enjoy shooting a Hi Point? With every BANG!
 
And for @KillerFord1977, The obligatory pic.

I never really gave Hi-Point much thought. But if I run across one with "YEET CANNON" blazed across the slide, I might buy it just for S&G. :rolleyes:

But I am confused. Is this a gun you're supposed to love to hate or is it the gun you're supposed to hate to love?

Perhaps both.

Many people say they are unreliable and dangerous and not worth owning. Some from first hand or those they deem reliable witnesses, many simply from the internet.

Others have different experiences. There are a number of owners of them at my gun club and no one I know has had an issue. My wife owned one of the carbines in .45 acp and it ate everything and was very accurate. It's biggest issues were, like most Hi Points, very heavy and cleaning it sucked. But overall everyone I KNOW who actually owns them feel they are reliable.

So yeah they are very polarizing and maybe both. But, cannot the same be said for almost anything? I have owned many Rugers without fail finding them excellant weapons. One I owned 30 years and took many game animals. Yesterday on here read about a very negative Ruger experience and they won't buy another.

All based upon what you experience. Maybe a third option, not love, not hate, but ambivalence, if it's all I had I would be fine but its not on my buy list.

IMHO, these are more durable than many of the "anointed" handguns. I've seen the barrel filled with concrete, them shot by other guns, and basically had the crap beat out of them in several YouTube videos (Demolition Ranch has a few), and the dang thing keeps going. I doubt Glock would hold up to similar abuse that I've seen HI Point ls subjected to....

But, hey, I guess the fact that they're big and aren't attractive matters the most :LOL:. I'd never buy one, but I respect them, and wouldn't make fun of anyone who owned one.
