Hey guys,i recently bought a jhp,i own a nmgc colt .45, was reading about the hipoint,after reading many reviews decided to try one out,so a little history im a stonemason for 30 years,had guns all my life,not forcollecting so much,like to shoot em.So i bought the jhp 169.00,like the weight,have put around 600 rds through it ball,wad cutter,jhp,all 230 grain different brands,its rated for + p and +p+ ammo,and gotta say no problems,none,i like the fact that the barrel is fixed to the frame its every bit as accurate as my colt.And freed up extra cash for more ammo.The worst thing in my opinion is the grips,kinda slick,as my hands are like leather.So far seems the more i shoot it better it gets,i will keep yall posted on its performance,for the price,made in america,its a great buy for anyone that is looking for an inexpensive dependable alternative to guns costing much more.
im the kind of guy that buys a hipoint .jhp .45

I could not tell what the OP meant, either model number or bullet design.
I guess JHP is somebody's initials who designed it?

No, I believe he means the JHP.

The nomenclature is a bit confusing since JHP is also a commonly used acronym when talking about ammo, but that's what Hi-Point calls it.
The .45 is supposed to be the best of of the Hi-Point pistols.

Yeah, I thought that he was mistaken too.
I've never owned a hi-point. I've heard a lot of people trash them, but at the same time I've heard that they are reliable shooters. Congrats if you like yours.

They changed from JH to JHP when they went to the plastic frames.

Haven't seen a normal .45 ACP JHP penetrate less then 12" in Ballistics's gel.

Get a Hogue Handall rubber slip-on grip. I don't own a Hi-Point but I read a review at amazon.com and a reviewer was very happy with the large Handall grip on a 45 cal Hi-Point. Cost is less than $10. I have used the grips on a couple of my pistols and they really feel good/grippy.
