HiPoint Responds to YouTube Video

Well, he also got a "gravity assist"...
1. Hold HP straight up in the air, full extension.
2. Pull straight down by bending elbow, as fast as possible.
3. Stop abruptly at shoulder height.
4. Push upward quickly, do not pause at the bottom!

That is what it looked like he did. I'd imagine it was not a brand new weapon, either, likely well broken in. Locking back the slide for a few weeks could help achieve this maneuver, IMO

 

People put hi points through extreme torture test not.even knowing they are actually validating the strength and reliability of the gun while ****ting on the other expensive guns because there's no way a glock or m&p or sig is going to stand up to any of the torture ive seen people do to hi point's.

 

That had to be some camera trickery because I have yet to be able to do it lol.

 

Thanks. I was doing it wrong. But even doing it that way I was unsuccessful.

I guess I'll have my lady friend give it a try. She good with that motion.

 

It can be done. I've seen several youtube yahoos do it. It takes a whipping action at the end of the down stroke.

 

Until I can see it in person I think its impossible lol. I've tried it qnd the slide isn't budging.

 

Holy smokes I just did it! I dont think it would have rack a round in though, maybe I have to practice a little more.

 

Could have been, but your pistol might also be too new.
Lock the slide back for a week or more...

 

It's good that they can take the abuse, for such a cheap pistol I don't see why so many people hate.

I was coming here to say pretty much what the screen cap said.
I'd love to see a Sig or Glock or H&K run through a gauntlet like IV8888 ran their HP through. Jam a railroad spike in the end of the barrel and load a +50% over powder charged round in the chamber and pull the trigger.

 

You have to take the safety off.


Eta
I see you figured that out.

 

There's some pretty severe Glock tests out there. Including throwing one out of an airplane.

 

Out of a plane or out of a second story window... there won't be much difference when it hits the ground.

 

Of course it's for entertainment purposes. With out this sort of extremism few would watch. No clicks no money except from the manufactures.

 

I can't watch the video but if you ever seen the one by IV8888 you almost find it comical how a group of people will go to such extremes just to destroy a pistol. Really shows how durable they are

 

Hell, the Gremlin put them both to shame in the ugly department and then lets not for the Rambler. I dated a girl that drove a Gremlin back in the '80's if she'd looked like her car, no way. Don't think I could have looked at her with a chopped off square rear end.

 

I want to see a real life test.
A group of people, a C9, 5000 rounds and a keg. Break down and cleaning every 1000 rounds.

 

What's the keg for? Is that to see if the group of shooters can last as long as the firearm?
