We all knew it was coming, the [in]famous Hi-Point Yeet Cannon, the YC9. The first pistol in their lineup to receive the new aesthetic treatment, proper accessory rail, threaded barrel, and improved optics-capability was their JXP 10mm pistol recently seen in RECOIL. Other features include a replaceable front sight compatible with Glock pistols, the option to bundle a Crimson Trace optic (almost doubling the price), and a magazine capacity increase to ten rounds.

Yes, it's still tipping over 34-ounces unloaded, but it also costs about the same as 100 rounds of quality defensive 9mm.

Here's what they have to say about it:

(Dayton, OH) – MKS Supply, The exclusive distributor of Hi Point Firearms, is thrilled to announce the launch of the Hi-Point YC9 9mm Handgun. This eagerly awaited addition to the Hi-Point lineup combines superior performance, the new “Yeet Cannon” design, and enhanced versatility to meet the needs of firearm enthusiasts and professionals alike.

The Hi-Point YC9 stands for “Yeet Cannon” and was named by the supporters of Hi-Point Firearms during a contest they called “The peoples pistol- name our nine”. The YC9 comes out as HI Point’s top-tier 9mm handgun, equipped with a threaded barrel that enhances its adaptability for various accessories. The 1/2-28 threads on the 4.12″ barrel length allows users to effortlessly attach suppressors, compensators, and other muzzle devices, elevating the shooting experience to new heights and offering customers more options. Other features include a Glock style replaceable front sight, new stylized grips, backstrap safety, reversable backstrap for a more customized fit, a new styled slide for a better look, adaptable for mounting a red dot plate and a proprietary double to single stack magazine.

The new YC9 will come in a all black version with and without the threaded barrel and a model with “YEET CANNON” boldly engraved on the slide.

·  Caliber: 9mm (YC9)
