:Improved models have been introduced by Hi-Point since most of these sources were published (I suspect due to Hi-Points liberal warranty program that lets them know what works and what fails), so technically most of these sources are out-of-date. They may have some historical value. --Naaman Brown (talk) 16:09, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Add additional information

message: NPOV? This article seems a little too "press-release" like for me... Chris 13:48, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: While there are some POV issues here, you seem to have a LOT of anger that tends to imply you have personal issues with Hi-Point. Perhaps you would like to disclose your personal bias issues? 75.172.7.128 (talk) 04:49, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried to reword the first paragraph a bit to deal with some of these POV issues. SupremeDalek (talk) 22:24, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Press release

message: Another POV problem is that this article reads as if written for the handgun user rather than a general readership. Sentences like "HiPoint recommends hosing out the action with a powder solvent like breakfree powderblast or another aerosol solvent, then every 500-800 rounds running a patch or 2 down the barrel" seem out of place in an encyclopedia entry.

thread_title: Jargon?

message: There was a statement in the article, referring to how ATI stocks damage Hi-Point carbines, and, how Hi-Point is considering changing the warranty because of this. Statements like this, need to be cited, from reliable sources. I've removed it for now, but, if one can find a source for that, we can re-add it. SQLQuery me! 12:34, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  ATI stocks 

message: One of the lines in this article needs either to be removed or backed up, "Some people are wary of Hi-Points because of the high rate of jams (falure to fire, feed and eject are very frequent)" from the last paragraph on the first section. I am an Arms Dealer, and I sell dozens of Hi-Points, and have heard few complaints except from the .380's, (The slide is too heavy to be properly operated by the .380 shell, unless you have a perfect stance).

thread_title:  Rewording of something 

message: Okay this sounds absolutely ridiculous if you do not know the context, but Hi Point recently had a promotion where they had online fans name their new pistol. Naturally, /k/ and other people raided their polls and the new firearm is now named the "Yeet Cannon 9". Absolutely real, not even kidding. Here's a link on their website: https://www.hi-pointfirearms.com/hi-point-handguns/9mm-OGYC.php
The poll results and questions are all over the place in firearms communities and blogs, you can find a plethora of information just about anywhere. There also was an attempt by Hi Point to not have it named "Yeet Cannon", but public outcry and backlash brought not only one, but 2 pistols into existence. It's entertaining to say the least.

message: Apparently this company used to be called Haskell before changing its name(,). Shouldn’t that be mentioned somewhere in this article? Overlordnat1 (talk) 11:38, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: This article on Hi-Point's website seems to indicate that Haskell was one of several companies that was eventually merged into the Hi-Point brand, and not an old name for the current company. Loafiewa (talk) 14:27, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
