Are magazines for older Hi-Point models still available?

Magazines for the earliest Hi-Point JH model, which had a heel release and 7-round capacity, are no longer produced by Hi-Point and can be difficult to find. However, magazines for the Gen 1 JHP and Gen 2 JCP are still manufactured by Hi-Point and are widely available.

What are some notable features of the Hi-Point Gen 2 JCP pistol?

The Hi-Point Gen 2 JCP is characterized by its improved grip texture, extended picatinny rail on the dust cover, more aggressive front cocking serrations, and often includes a threaded barrel. The overall design maintains Hi-Point's reputation for affordability and a lifetime warranty.
