Video

my 10 mm has never had a problem.. EVER

So, 12 years on, how's the P5 running?

13:45 While I get that this wasn't the point of the video, saying that you wouldn't use the Hi-Point Carbine for home defense naturally begs the question, "so what gun should I use for home defense"? And my personal opinion on that matter, but especially considering the price point of a Hi-Point, should be a Mossberg 88 Security which hovers around $240 depending on the retailer. Pair it with hollow point magnum slugs or 00 buck and you'll be able to take out most home intruders with a single shot. And with being pump action, you'll fail decades before the gun does even with minimal maintenance and cleaning. So if you, dear reader of this comment, are brand new to the world of guns and you want something to protect you or your family on a shoestring budget, you can't go wrong with a good ole' Mossberg 88 Security.

Just a wild guess as I don't have one but I would expect that the operation of the charge handle would be documented in the user manual. Did GT RTFM?

Nice Macross pic in the background

The new gun with a ton of issues is the canik tti. John wick. Gonna die in John wick 5 if they don't do something.

I've had mine for a while I like this gun a lot 🤷

I have the newer one if you want to compare🤷

So you can just leave out that bar to remove the mag disconnect feature?

Dunno why anyone would hate on you. This was hilarious!

the average gun buyer (let alone hipoint buyer) doesn't even know what loctite is.

It has been my experience that you should inspect partly disassemble, clean and lubricate any and all new guns you buy. You will have a hell of a lot fewer problems if you do. No matter the price of the gun is.

100% agree with you about the trigger. Clearly they were comments by someone who has not fired or only had minimal experience with the gun. I love mine and think it is great.

I just bought one of these from Atlantic and it's a cool looking paper weight. Absolutely unusable as a CC weapon. The one I bought is in really good shape, but it is way too stiff in several ways to be relied upon. The safety is very difficult to operate even after soaking the gun in oil. The mag well is so tight, the mags are damn near impossible to take out. It came with 2 mags and it's the same with both. Not only does oil not help, but it makes the situation worse because you will inevitably apply too much oil making it slippery to hold onto. After watching multiple videos, I can see that my particular gun is much worse than most of the others I've seen. Due to the gun being in such good shape, I can only assume it came from the factory this way, and therefore was never able to be used, so it still looks new. Would not buy again.

This is very cool insight.

There is always a big butt and I like them. I cannot lie.

Tech9's are the same way and many others

I only own one hipoint 1095 carbine. I can’t think of any malfunctions,bought it new, never cleaned it, other that blowing dust and dog hair off action lol. It’s basically a truck gun, it’s accurate for me from 200 yards or less, with open sights.

Guy giving bad info Report

Where is this Snake 'n Rake?

You sound just like s2 underground

I'm glad you made this video. I watch 2-3 hours of gun review weekly, yet this is only the 2nd time I have left a comment. The first time was to Garand Thumb. I disagree with him concerning the reliability of the Hipoint 995 carbine. I have 3 of them and they are used very frequently at my gun range. It is one of the most popular choices used by people at my gun range. Very accurate and reliable. Have been using them for almost 4 years.

Glad you made this video. I watch gun reviews for about 2-3 hours every week. This is only the 2nd time I have ever left a comment. The first time I had ever left a comment was to Garland Thumbs. I let him know that I disagreed with his review and that the Hipoint 995 is one of the most popular guns used at my gun range. All 3 of mine get heavy use and have been running strong for about 4 years.

"Hi Point fan boy" - that's not a combination you hear every day. (he said: "Mr. Thumb") Did he mention you HAVE to have the bolt back when you load the magazine? Or else you damage the firing pin.

Great video! So, you guys are like, twins?

Subtle brag with that walther p5

I got my p64 for 175 at the local gun shop. It shoots great.

Sounds like mr finger is a crier.

BUT!!…What Kind of gum was being chewed???

Looks like some kind of battery operated space gun…and you overpaid BIGTIME!…lol

I have three Hi-Point carbines (9mm, .45ACP, and 10mm) and I trying to acquire a 4th in .40 Smith & Wesson. Once the mechanics of the carbines are figured out (bolt handle operation, firing pin also used as an ejector, sprung recoil pad, etc.), there should be no question that Hi-Point carbines are well-designed. I have had zero failures in all of my HP carbines. Granted that the trigger could be better, but there are available fixes to make the trigger better - not perfect, just better. Overall, I give these carbines high points (no pun intended). 😁

You have a pretty weak grip to be a man hold that gun like a man brother

So basically you're calling Garandboy a thumbell 🤭😆🤣 ... at least as far as thos HiPoint is concerned

So…in short…the Hi Point is a crappy firearm that with another couple hundred dollars in upgrades works just great! How can you defend any firearm that has multiple dysfunctions, out of the box? SMH…it’s a “gangsta” pos.

I’ve heard the release can be pushed all the way to the other side, blocking the mag well.

Looks like a BB gun ..

Carry without round in the chamber, this is the old Soviet military style way of carry.

My God, that looks like some crazy recoil due to that light weight.

The High Point 9 works very well, love it.

I just bought a CzechpointUSA (CSA) vz. 58. I bought a surplus magazine and cleaned the cosmoline out of it and I'll test that and the 10 round plastic one I had to buy for my State. I'm really looking forward to it.

Mine had one shell stuck in the barrel and it had feed issues because the tabs need bent in slightly on aftermarket magazines but yes my sight came loose the threaded piece at the end of the barrel always comes loose the charging handle always comes loose but it shoots great all the time

Damn. This is definitely a platform not worth trying to drag into the 21st century. Think I’ll keep mine stock as a historical curiosity since it isn’t even drilled and tapped for a side rail.

"Yeah, when I met my wife she was the worst, she belittled me, said mean things to me, and was a toxic mess. BUT. After a few years I got used to it and now everything goes smoothly!" If you buy a self defense weapon, you need it to work. This video is justifying a garbage product which could be potentially dangerous to the user. You don't usually make these videos? Well good, keep it that way, please!

Thank you for this review.

This guy's the armchair neckbeard akshually meme

Very informative review I just purchased mine and haven't got to fire yet but I'm anxious to break it down... You made some really good points to look over on this unit👍 very thorough man thanks for the insight

Use 68 grain underwood ammo.

P-64 is Polish, not Indonesian 🙃

Hi point is garbage. Buy guns that don’t need brake in time

Your video response is informative while respectful to Mr. Thumb. I bet he’s good with it.
