Why, Hi-Point, Why? Even HK wants to yeet with you.<em> (Photo: Hi-Point\/Facebook)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi-Point Firearms, the humble American budget gun maker, decided to make a splash in the high-speed, low-drag black gun market at the top of this year with a to-be-named suppressor-ready tactical mid-size pistol for&#8230;giggles? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes and no. Sure, the idea of picking up a tacticool Hi-Point suppressor host that costs less than a tax stamp is funny and charming, but it&#8217;s also the company&#8217;s way of saying that they make serious guns that can deliver performance in a demanding sector full of demanding users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course we can&#8217;t know how well the upcoming handgun will do until it becomes available, and before Hi-Point can start selling the gun, they&#8217;re going to have to name it. What do you call Hi-Point&#8217;s newest elite tactical pro operator model? Not even Hi-Point had the answer to that question, so the company turned to help from the internet with the hashtag Namethe9, i.e. #Namethe9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi-Point issued an open request for names from fans and would-be buyers to come up with a name, and after weeks of submissions and voting, four names rose to the top,<em> Student of the Gun<\/em>, the <em>Problem Solver<\/em>, <em>We Like Shooting<\/em> and the <em>Yeet Cannon<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then in the latest round of voting, neither the PS9 nor the YC9 made the list. The internet would have no part in that. And in rare form, neither would industry leader Heckler &amp; Koch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one sense, it&#8217;s understandable for a company to choose not to pick a brand that has negative implications, which is the case for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"the Problem Solver (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pSh-XENBLRQ\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hi-point-name-the-nine-situation-yeet\" title=\"To Yeet or Not to Yeet, the Hi-Point 'Name-The-Nine' Situation\" target=\"_blank\">the Problem Solver<\/a>, but <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"yeet (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=Yeet\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hi-point-name-the-nine-situation-yeet\" title=\"To Yeet or Not to Yeet, the Hi-Point 'Name-The-Nine' Situation\" target=\"_blank\">yeet<\/a>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeet is a slang expression for joy, like &#8220;yolo&#8221; and &#8220;woot,&#8221; and is defined by dictionary.com as &#8220;an exclamation of excitement, approval, surprise, or all-around energy often as issued when doing a dance move or throwing something.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" title=\"To Yeet or Not to Yeet, the Hi-Point 'Name-The-Nine' Situation\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/good-things-to-come.jpg\" alt=\"To Yeet or Not to Yeet, the Hi-Point 'Name-The-Nine' Situation\" class=\"wp-image-111574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/good-things-to-come.jpg 960w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/good-things-to-come-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/good-things-to-come-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/good-things-to-come-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption>HK says &#8220;Good things to come.
