Asked AI about the YC9. Not a bad write up. The YC9 pistol, officially known as the Hi-Point YC9 "Yeet Cannon," is a 9mm semi-automatic handgun manufactured by Hi-Point Firearms, an American company known for producing affordable firearms. Introduced in August 2023 after years of anticipation, the YC9 is an improved version of Hi-Point’s earlier C9 model, blending budget-friendly pricing with modern features. Its name, "Yeet Cannon," originated from a 2019 social media contest where it won overwhelmingly with over 96% of 313,000 votes, reflecting Hi-Point’s playful engagement with its community. The YC9 is a striker-fired, blowback-operated pistol, relying on the mass of its zinc-alloy slide to manage recoil, a design choice typical of Hi-Point’s straightforward engineering. It’s chambered for 9mm Parabellum and rated for +P ammunition, making it versatile for both practice and self-defense rounds. The pistol features a 4.12-inch barrel (available threaded or non-threaded), a polymer frame, and a 10-round magazine that transitions from double-stack at the base to single-stack at the top—a proprietary design that slightly increases capacity over the C9’s 8 rounds while maintaining compatibility with Hi-Point’s budget ethos. Key upgrades over the C9 include enhanced grip texturing for better handling, front and rear slide serrations for easier manipulation, and a Picatinny rail for mounting accessories like lights or lasers. The YC9 is optics-ready, with an adjustable rear sight that can be replaced with a mounting plate for red dots, and a Glock-compatible front sight for easy customization. The threaded barrel option (1/2x28 TPI) allows for suppressors or muzzle devices, adding tactical appeal. It also includes a grip safety and magazine disconnect safety, though the manual thumb safety remains right-hand-only. Weighing 34.2 ounces (unloaded), the YC9 is hefty compared to many modern pistols, a trade-off for its robust construction and low cost. Its trigger pull is around 6.5 pounds with a distinct, somewhat mushy break, requiring a full release to reset—functional but not refined. Despite its blocky aesthetics and weight, the YC9 is praised for reliability and surprising accuracy, often exceeding expectations for its price point, with an MSRP starting at $229. Hi-Point targets the YC9 at budget-conscious shooters who prioritize function over form, offering a lifetime warranty regardless of ownership history. It’s not a sleek concealed-carry piece but shines as an affordable range gun or home-defense option, embodying Hi-Point’s mission to provide accessible firearms for all. The "Yeet Cannon" branding adds a layer of fun, making it a cult favorite among enthusiasts who appreciate its unapologetic character.
