Well, I'm going to sell this heavy beast and get a S&W M&P 10MM M2.0. I looked at one at my gun shop and it is a lot easier to hold up and has less recoil. If anyone is interested let me know. If no interest I'll take it to my local gun shop.

Have you tried a 1911? Compensated guns have lighter springs as well.
I'm sure many before me have answered your question of whether the gun was worth it.... Yes, it is worth $179.
Off the subject, well sort of; I shoot and carry 10mm a lot... it is just necked down to 9mm bullets.

I boxed up the Hi Point 10mm and my Ruger Security 9 to go to the gun shop tomorrow (Sunday). I'll trade them for a S&W Equalizer 9 mm. If Ruger had a easy racking 9mm I'd go for it, but the only one I found was that S&W.
LOL I had to look it up yesterday myself.
The Yeet Cannon model is no different than the standard C9 mechanically or even as a package. The differences are purely aesthetics. It says Yeet Cannon G1 in silver lettering on one side and on the chamber. Other than that, they're identical.
Took them both to the lgs and traded them for a 9mm S&W Equalizer, was a good trade even though I had to put up a few dollars with them.
You could just use it as a small boat anchor.
M&P 10mm will be my next purchase as well, I’ll just skip the HP. Buy once is a motto I try to adhere to. Not that it’s an expensive pistol but certainly rungs up the quality ladder from HP. Good luck and enjoy the S&W

just saw your last post which I hadn't before. Enjoy your Equalizer
How come the switch to 9 instead of 10?

I purchased the S&W Equalizer and a S&W M&P 10mm. Took them to the range and both performed flawlessly. The 10 is hard to rack but I'm not using it for personal defense like I'll use the 9 for. I just ordered a Gersan 14T which is a 380 with tip up barrel. No need to rack the slide on that one. I'll have it in a few days and take it to the range for testing.
Got the Gersan and took it to range with the S&W Equalizer and they were a blast to shoot. I was MUCH more accurate that any of my other guns. Love that Gersan's tip up barrel. It allows me to reload and shoot quickly too. It's a real keeper.

Want a cheap 10mm? Get a Girsan 10mm 1911. Oh, I guess you did.

Don’t forget the Rock Island Arms 10mm 1911; Rural King Guns and Palmetto State Armory have had really good prices on them in the recent past, in the $350-$400 range.

Yeah my .45 1911 is a RIA and I like it a lot.

Yep- they’re putting out some quality 1911s now. I picked up a tan Cerakote model last year at a good price. I did a little (very) light polishing on the action and it’s every bit as reliable and accurate as my Colt, and much more reliable than my old Canadian Para.

There's actually a "new" Yeet Cannon out now. Fit and finish seem better than previous Hi-Points, anyway.

Fit and finish might be better but it still looks like a Hi-Point ... the ugliest handgun this side of a Chiappa Rhino.

That just means that if the cops haul it off for evidence and don't give it back, you won't really miss it.
(There's a joke in the discussion thread at one of the YouTube videos above, to the effect that Hi-Points come with filed-off serial numbers for the customer's convenience.)

Yeah a buddy mine bought a SCCY for that reason. Ever turned in for evidence he wouldn't be worried about getting it back.
