Ballistic Mag lists YC9 "Yeet Cannon" in top 21 best new handguns for 2023 from SHOT.

To quote:
Hi-Point YC9 Yeet Cannon

Hi-Point is unapologetically open and honest about what they make. You don’t buy a Hi-Point to flex or win a competition; you buy one because you want an affordable gun that is going to go bang every time you press the trigger. As the C9 was starting to show its age, the Ohio-based company decided to remodel the old standby to include improved ergonomics, an optics cut slide, and a threaded barrel. Things were going well until they decided to let the internet name it. Keyboard commandos alike agreed that “Yeet Cannon” was the most fitting moniker, and Hi-Point kept its word and inscribed it on the weapon. Best of all, the YC9 is still going to mimic the $199 retail price that made the Gen1 so popular in the first place.

Wat wuz the last gen of metal-framed 9mm Hi-Points called??

Last one was the early version of the Model C. Looked just like a C-9. Earlier models were the Maverick JS, the Stallard JS and the Hi-Point JF

I'm only laughing because it's pretty absurd to make a pistol that's been in limbo for about three years into a top-anything.

 

[RACHGIER]

It's like bragging about being in the top 5 of a race with 5 participants...

 

[Rufus Nathaniel REDD]

Adam,
Thanks for the comparision info...appreciate the LINK as well.

You know…realistically, only 4 or 5 of those guns are new. The other 20-ish are just copies of existing guns, or a small upgrade, like adding an optics cut or offering a longer barrel or new caliber in an old design.

Kind of silly, like most media reports today.

 

[Quavodus]

Yeah, it's a little strange to put it in the list, and it's still not available yet. Maybe someday. I'll probably pick one up if it comes around.
