MKS Supply, Inc., Dayton, OH, July 2019– You almost cannot make this stuff up – but they did!
It appears that a Hi-Point is the only firearm the social media folks like to burn, blow up, drive over, bend, throw, submerge, drop from great heights, and even shoot with other guns to see if it will keep running.
That’s because Hi-Point firearms are tough, reliable, accurate and affordable – and that is why you will not see big bucks factory guns get abused and treated like Hi-Points just for the fun of it. Yet the bullets fly out of Hi-Point barrels just as reliably, fast and accurately as they do from the pretty $800-$2,000+ gun safe queens (so don’t scratch them, for Heaven’s sake!).
Okay, enough chit chat, let’s get down to business.
Hi-Point’s recent Name The Nine contest for its new 9mm pistol coming out later this year exploded the internet; more than 313,000 votes were cast on the Hi-Point website and more than 450,000 comments were made on other sites. The verdict? Hi-Point’s new 9mm pistol will be called the YC9 and it will be released late in 2019.
At the same time, the clamor rose loudly to also yeet up the long established and popular Model C9. To comply with the demand, limited numbers of the current Model C9 will be made with YEET CANNON G1 laser engraved on the slide. The laser-engraved letters are big and bold; this is no gun for the shy! This additional work will add approximately $20 to the price of this limited edition engraved Model C9, bringing the MSRP to $179.
Yeet definitions are all over the place but the definition chosen to represent the Hi-Point pistols is the primary Urban Dictionary definition: To discard an item at high velocity. In this case, the “item” being discarded at high velocity is a bullet. YEET CANNON is trademarked by Hi-Point Firearms.
Jyeet jet? My Arkansan German Teacher in Stuttgart Germany put that on the blackboard the first day to point out real (regional) spoken language ain’t always same as book learning.
Does high point have a 410?
I’ll never get tired of that drywall screw in the center of the grip panel.
Rationalization for bad choices is amusing.
I’ll carry mine in an IWB full leather holster. Thick? Thicker? Thickest!
Where I come from, “yeet” means “did you eat yet”
You MUST be from South Carolina. lol
