Hi-Point Pistols The Ultimate Test Part 4: Judgement Day

Published on January 17, 2011
Duration: 4:12

The Hi-Point C9 pistol undergoes an extreme durability test, culminating in a 'Judgement Day' destruction attempt. Despite previous abuse, the pistol initially functions reliably, though accuracy degrades significantly due to barrel damage. The final test, involving a bolt obstruction and excessive powder, results in a catastrophic failure, demonstrating the pistol's resilience against conventional overloads.

Quick Summary

The 'Judgement Day' test aimed to destroy a Hi-Point pistol by plugging its muzzle, filling the barrel with rifle powder, and forcing the slide shut. Despite previous extreme abuse, the pistol initially functioned, but accuracy degraded. The final test resulted in a catastrophic explosion, demonstrating the Hi-Point's extreme resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was the 'Judgement Day' test for the Hi-Point pistol?

The 'Judgement Day' test involved intentionally trying to destroy the Hi-Point pistol. This included plugging the muzzle with a bolt, filling the barrel with rifle powder (Hodgdon H335), and forcing the slide shut with a C-clamp rig before remote firing.

Did the Hi-Point pistol survive the extreme durability tests?

The Hi-Point pistol survived numerous previous abuse tests, including a 'ringed' barrel, and still functioned. However, the final 'Judgement Day' test, designed for catastrophic failure, resulted in the pistol exploding into multiple pieces.

How did the Hi-Point pistol's accuracy perform during the tests?

While the pistol continued to function, its accuracy significantly degraded due to damage from previous tests. This was visually confirmed by bullets 'keyholing' on the target, indicating tumbling in flight due to damaged rifling.

Is it easy to destroy a Hi-Point pistol?

According to the testers, it is virtually impossible to blow up a Hi-Point pistol through conventional overloads or simple barrel obstructions. Extreme, intentional measures like those used in the 'Judgement Day' test were required for destruction.
