I bought one when you couldn’t get anything else!! And then I couldn’t get ammo in commifornia
Keep up the work hipoint lmao 🤣 😆 😂
If all you can get is a Hi-Point, I’d save the extra $20-$50 and buy a C9. Other than the bore size, they are identical. Any savings you get with the CF-380 will be eaten up in ammo cost. The C9 is in 9x19mm Luger/Parabellum. Not only cheaper ammo but more powerful too and +P rated to boot. Other than the barrel, every part is interchangeable
Save ur money for a real pistol…
It’s a contemporary World War I pistol
That’s disgusting. How can the ftc let this garbage be sold.
Dayum…. the price makes the Taurus G3c seem like a Rolls Royce by comparison. Lol
Leave it to Hi-Point to take away the main advantage of the .380
I own 2 Hi-point C9 and love them but had to run 100 rounds through them to fix feeding problem and they run well with Federal train and protect hollow points but have never tried the extended mag.
3 rounds? Love the new burst option
I love how almost every malfunction results in losing 3 more rounds out of the mag. Usually two fall out the magwell and another stovepipes. Hilarious.
I have an old charter arms 38 undercover snubby j frame its really old like made pre 80s has a ton of holster rash im almost certain it was a cops back up ankle gun and the sweat from his/her leg is what caused the bluing to wear off any way i paid 100 bucks out the door with 20 rounds of reload at a local shop here in SoFL about a year and a half ago. Works just fine i got it as a tackle box gun so i wouldnt care what happens cause it was so cheap but i ended up loving it so much i use it as my edc its great i love it and the fact it was so cheap i just hit with some 3 in one gun oil and give it pass a rag every couple of days to keep the rust away
Better then overhyped, overpriced Sig junk or Kimber crap!!
I’m sorry if that is the budget one has but I would do what’s necessary to save for a used Glock 19 for $400 or get a cheap pump shotgun. The malfunctions make it of less value than a baseball bat and a machete.
If you really want to throw it at them get a 40 or 45. They are RIDICULOUSLY heavy, but mine is reliable and accurate enough for it’s intended purpose. I bought a 40 because 1) I’m likely to have to shoot through a vehicle door or window and 2) if you buy the most hated gun, why not double the fun and buy the most hated caliber also. Extra points for the stupidly heavy construction as this could easily turn into a CQB and it might become a bludgeoning weapon.
I can’t ever let my wife know that price tag is a thing 😬😬😬
Jesus I rather have a cowboy action from 1860 in a gun fight then a semi reliable hi point.
funny stuff… no way id own that p.o.s. even if it was free
I would just buy 100 of em
I forgot they are made in America, my bad.
I had one it was a good gun I paid 150 for it new
Sccy did spell sky until they got sided by sky vodka I think they spelled it like skyy or scky
Not American made ? They claim to be made in Ohio
Clean and oil?
One correction to what you said: despite the poor quality materials, these are actually made in Ohio and are 100% American made. Great video!
lol one range trip of ammo costs more than the gun
You don’t shoot the high point you unload and through it
If someone can save up $80.00, eventually they can save up $280.00.
Instead do a clip on cheap revolver ! /please or RUN and DUCK !
Glad I am not that poor to have a potential exploding gun on my hip.
How about do some research before slandering a company’s business practices? They are not made overseas.
Wanna get better at malfunction clearing? Buy a Hi Point.
$80!!! In 2022?!! Unbelievable
The extended mag you have there is for the car beans don’t work well in pistols
I have owned every Hi Point pistols made except the 40 cal. I can tell you they all have at least 100 round break in periods and all the hand guns like a good dose of white lithium on the slide. The 9mm tactical carbine will eat anything flawlessly all the time.
HI PEEZY FOR THE WINNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😂 jk the fucking suck
Most Highpoints like hot rounds , and polish the doll head and slide rails,Ha ha ha
Maybe it needs a 1,000 round break in…
then a 1,000 round test.
No, it isn’t a great gun, and I who can afford a reliable weapon wouldn’t choose it. That said, for who barely has $80 at the end of the month to by a self defense weapon, it may still make a difference. Even if it malfunctions. Let’s be honest, the average criminal is going to be discouraged at seeing an armed victim. And if one shot gets fired, many more will run away. So if the choice is no gun or a questionable gun, give me the questionable gun every day of the week.
I like how with the 10 round mag that he has so many failures he has to clear that he barely gets 8 rounds out of it anyways
I bought a hi point at a pawn shop for 75 bucks and I actually have a purpose for it. It is not joking, what i shoot to practice malfunction management with bc that thing NEVER gets through 20 rounds without some sort of failure. Now, if any of my actual good guns ever have an issue, I can clear and reengage them almost reflexively
Only girls or dudes with really small hands can shoot those things and they need cleaned a lot..
Save your money and buy something better. Don’t go cheap on the lives of you or your family. In the worse case scenario it will definitely count.
Damn lol
It doesn’t matter how much a gun cost a bullet flys the same it doesn’t matter if it’s a two dollar gun or a million dollars gun the bullet goes the same speed and does the same job
I’d say to anyone wanting to get into firearms, particularly handguns; go get a Hi-Point C9… learn to shoot it, learn its faults and how to correct them, learn proper handling and gun safety with it, learn how to maintain it, disassemble & reassemble it… once you’ve mastered these concepts, go buy a Canik, Taurus, S&W or Arex. carry over what you’ve learned and adjust to the feel of whatever you fancy owning.
I don’t discourage with owning Hi-Points, they’re usually reliable (as Outlaw stated) without the extended mags and can be dependable with the right ammo and handling.
great review as always.
I dunno…I think I’d still take my chances with a sharp stick if someone broke into my home. Then again, if the robber saw my HiPoint, they’d probably apologize and go rob someone who actually has money instead.
Cheap…ugly… embarrassing to own, so long as you load fmj, tough as hell
No clue why anyone would buy this when you can get a Taurus for 200
You die if you don’t run duck and cover !
