Analysis

This .45 Auto pistol offers a straightforward design that prioritizes affordability and functionality for budget-conscious shooters. Its accuracy is commendable for a firearm in this price range, delivering consistent performance at typical defensive distances. Ergonomically, the grip provides a solid hold for most users, though those with smaller hands may find it somewhat bulky. Reliability is a strong point, as it cycles well with a variety of ammunition, making it a dependable choice for personal defense or range use. On the downside, maintenance can be cumbersome due to a less intuitive disassembly process, which may frustrate newer owners. Parts availability is another concern, as replacements or upgrades are not as widely accessible. The trigger pull is notably heavy, potentially affecting precision for some shooters, while the felt recoil is significant, which could be challenging for those unaccustomed to larger calibers.

The JHP Beast
By BlackJack50 on 15 Jan 2023
I just picked this pistol up recently. I like it, if you run out of bullets you can beat the hell out of someone with it, defense at its best! Seriously though, this has to be one of the most inexpensive handguns out there. I have two 1911's and this gun is just as accurate as them. Oh, I won't be packing it to church, but don't try checking my back door at midnight! It gets a lot of laughs at the range from the S&W fans in particular, but I have fun with them. The JHP is a great conversation starter. I wouldn't be without it!

A value pistol
By amxpress on 22 Feb 2021
I carry my HiPoint 45 when I’m in the woods or fly fishing in the boonies. It was $150. Lifetime warranty. It’s never jammed and is heavy. It’s not a pretty pistol, but it’s great for what I use it for. People laugh and make fun of it, but don’t care.

Cheap can be good...

Okay, to start with, I have large hands. I find the grip good and recoil mild. Reliability has been good with zero failures in over 1000 rounds. No fail to feed/eject/fire. Squeeze trigger and it goes boom, every time. No, it's not a Ruger, Remington, S&W or Glock but that doesn't keep this from being one fun pistol. Accuracy is good due to clear sights. Don't judge a product simply by price. The only issue is its size and weight, but that should not be a real issue if you have large hands, like me, who finds many pistol grips too small.
