The next generation is up in the Hi-Point CF380 lineup. The brand new Hi-Point YC380 builds off the success of the original 380 variant, and incorporates all of the features found on the “Yeet Cannon” design, including an updated grip texture, beavertail grip safety, and a threaded barrel, ready for the attachment of your favorite suppressor.
Like the title says, I cannot stress this enough. Having owned two Hi-Point 995TS carbines, I never had a single complaint or problem with Hi-Point guns until now. At first, my YC380 was working fine. It was very accurate when shooting, and it wasn’t hard to take down and clean either. My trouble began when changing out the grips. Unlike other guns such as an M1911A1, the grips on the YEET Cannon are not just purely cosmetic. These grips assist with the functionality of the handgun. I did have some trouble swapping them out as well. After swapping them out, the gun’s safety was semi-functional, the pistol did not fire with every trigger press, and the trigger did not fully reset and was sticking at times too. I couldn’t find much online about other people experiencing this problem, but I took this excerpt from the Hi-Point forums webpage. “There are also parts which might fall out of the gun when removing the right grip 1...the magazine lockout bar and 2...the magazine catch spring, which is actually a piece of very thin, slightly bent metal. Both are easily replaced and not too hard to figure out their location. If you hold the gun with the right grip facing up when removing it...nothing should fall out, although be careful to look for that little spring on the bottom pin while pulling the grip away. The left grip is pretty simple. The only thing that might fall out is the safety lever, again easily replaceable and easy to figure out its location.” All this being said, the gun works fine. If you do decide to change out the grips, please proceed with the utmost caution. If I buy another Hi-Point, it won’t be a pistol.
