Nutnfancy's Hi point Review.

I think it was a pretty fair review overall.

Of all the youtubers I enjoy his spiel and he seems to be sincere and not doing it for bucks from someone. Saw a review on a cheap red dot on and AK. Got one of the dots and his review was right on for me.

Have to say I'm a hickok45 guy myself. I prefer calmer, less hyperbolic analysis.

Still a subscriber to nutn, though. Better than most YouTube firearms dreck, just really unnecessarily long a lot of the time.

 

[harmon rabb]

he blabbers on for so long about nothing that i can't listen to his stuff

 

[The Sarge]

I would use the HiPoint to shoot myself if I had to watch that entire thing with NutNFancy blabbing on and on and on ....but it would probably FTF or jam.

I passed out before he finished his Movie Review of a 10 year old movie....so I didnt see any gun review at all.

But I still wanted to shoot myself.

Sarge, that's funny!

Haha, I saw it. It was a trip to see him give a review on such an UGLY gun. Even if it is decent quality(which I don't believe is true), I would never own one.

When I buy pistols, they are purchased to save my life, and those dearest to me. I don't think gun buying is the time to cheap out. Buy something of quality or just save your money until you have enough to do so. There are to many GREAT quality firearms for GREAT prices out there to cheap out and get a hi point or a Taurus. Maybe I'm crazy, but I would never own a hi point.

You gotta love how nutnfancy will do a hi point review with no shame. I love that guy, even though hickok is my favorite BY FAR.

It's about time! hahaha

I owned a Hi-Point .45. I can say this: It functioned just fine. That's all.

love Hickok45. I feel I MUST watch all of his videos. He is so unassuming in videos and in the comments.

I've watched some ntnfancy stuff, and I don't really have an opinion one way or the other. I actually started out on youtube gun videos with madogre. I found him to be too much of a hater though. Too much foul language in the comments instead of just ignoring the peanut gallery, or those who have differing opinions.

So you've never bought a gun just because? Or something like a .22 for plinking?

Hi Point and Nutz.. You would have to pay me to click on the link... literally...

I would not consider buying a Hi-point but...

Nutn' certainly has made a good case for these pistols. I still hate the look and they weigh way too much but, apparently, they are reliable and accurate, He does blather on waaaay too much but I enjoy his reviews nonetheless. In the end, or approximately half-way through his review, he concludes that you would be better off spending your money on a good used gun. I agree 100%. There are too many good used guns like 3rd gen S&W's for around $300 to be buying a Hi-point.

nutn' rambles entirely too much for me to be interested and the who tactacoolness of him is annoying so no, im not a fan.

Hickok45 though is another story.

+1 the sarge! haha

He prints up a list of talking points. Then he uses each one to talk about the weight, magazine capacity, and POU.... over and over and over...

One thing that struck me about the video is how sleek a Hi Point looks next to a SIG.
I'm also not surprised at the accuracy. Every fixed barrel blow back pistol I've ever shot was very accurate.

 

[WinThePennant]

I think NutNFancy is great.

Other gun guys on YouTube pretty much only review guns. NutNFancy covers guns, knives, flashlights, camping gear, etc.

I like Hickock45, but I pretty much know what he's going to say. If it's not a Glock, then he's not going to like it especially well.

I can understand only purchasing high-quality firearms that you are going to depend on for saving your life. I do this very thing.

However, if you are at a point in your life where you are just kind of buying new guns for nothing but fun, then why not purchase something like a Hi-Point? For example, lets say you have a Springfield G.I. and a Kahr CW9 that you carry and, say, a Ruger LCP in the pocket. You really don't need anything more than this... Why not purchase a Hi-Point (or other "functional but ugly and cheap") .32 or .22? You're never going to depend on them for your life. If you're like me, you have one on your belt at all times with spare mags and ammo within close distance but you have everything else locked up.

I'm not to that stage yet, so I'm just wondering.

 

[JShirley]

I only listen to reviewers who have something to say. There was one light review I lasted through...all other Nutter reviews I haven't had the patience for.

I just don't think they're good long term "keeper" guns. I actually have a Hi-Point C9 at this point. I got it in a trade - I was trading shotguns with someone else and he threw in the Hi-Point just to "sweeten the deal". Was going to make the trade without it, so naturally I took it for free.

Having shot this one a bit, I still just don't like them much. It's small in all the areas where it shouldn't be (the grip length, the sight radius), yet huge where it shouldn't (slide width and height). It doesn't balance well in the hand. The magazine only holds 8 rounds, and the trigger is atrocious. I also don't like the tiny rear sight. It also suffers from just an overall lack of quality feel. The magazine catch is a bit gritty when engaging, the recoil spring is too heavy, etc. You also can't field strip the thing without bringing out hammers and punches.

Also, one of my main dislikes is the zinc slide. It wears an order of magnitude faster than an equivalent steel part. It's unlikely to last more than a few thousand rounds. Now, I'm not likely to put that many through the gun (and neither are many others), but I do have other guns that I've put thousands of rounds through, and the only reason I'd not put 1000's through the Hi Point is because of that long list of stuff above basically just making it not a fun gun to shoot.

Overall, it works, it goes bang, and it's cheap. I don't think its a bad choice for someone just wanting something to protect themselves with and that's it. Its a gun for people who need a gun, but aren't into them. Realistically though, you're on a firearms enthusiast board. The people here don't just want a gun just in case to never think about again. They like guns and are interested in them.

I compare them to Kia cars. They're not quite up to par with the higher end brands either, and they do work, but mostly for people who just want to drive to work and back and otherwise just don't care about cars (hell I fall into that camp for sure on cars, which is why I actually drive a Hyundai ). You're never going to convince a room full of car enthusiasts that they're great though because they have standards slightly above the cheapest thing that works.

Something something sharp stick, something something volunteer to be shot with one.
