Went and shot the HI Point today

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Really crappy day out raining and windy and my 
eyes were watering but I wanted to try out this gun HI Point JHP 45 so I
 went out to the Range and fired off two clips. Gun was shooting to the 
right So I moved the back sight to the left and got it on target with 
the second clip. I shot at 15 and 25 yards and it was not bad. Targets 
were not my favorite they use them diamond shaped ones with a cross hair
 on them for sighting in scopes. You want black bullseye targets you 
need to bring your own and put them up which is a hassle at a busy 
range. Groups looked promising I was not shooting for a group very 
serious because my eyes were watering because of the wind so I just 
wanted to see how the gun functioned. Shooting on a rainy windy day is 
not my idea of good shooting weather even if the range has a cover 
overhead. On a nice day I will take it out and see what it will do for a
 group. Really thinking about the ghost ring rear sight. I am also 
wondering since the front sight face is grooved I am thinking about 
buying a fiber optic insert you get for bow sights and taking out the 
fiber optic and super gluing a short length of fiber optic on the front 
sight. It should fit in the front sight groove very well.

Ammo was Remington 230 Grain FMJ

I
 touched up the front sight when I got home it was Yellow instead of 
Orange and I had some Orange nail polish that I bought for an other 
sight I had so it is much better now. But I am still thinking about 
trying the fiber optic idea.

All in all I was very satisfied 
trigger is not bad and it functioned perfectly and the brass does not 
get dinged up ejecting which is nice since I am a reloader.

	Well the fiber optic did not show up that well on the face of the front sight but the Orange N polish does.

	Try a green front sight. It's easier on the eye and quicker to pick up when in a hurry.......................Kingpin

	The front sight was yellow and I could not see that for beans the orange does show up well. Might have to find some green to put on it if it shows up better than the yellow did.

	My SIL has one in 45, after the rear sight fell off, he put on the ghost ring rear sight, that came in box with pistol, he also painted front with green luminescent paint strip. I have to say, I like the ghost ring and the green does show up nice.

	try putting a coat of white on first, then the green on top. Makes it brighter

	That makes sense since I bought this used it did not come with the Ghost Ring sight. I can see the orange well though I bought the orange to put on the front sight of my SSA and it worked well for me there.

	Got to love this I called HI Point because I know they come with a Ghost Ring rear sight also and the guy I bought it from must have the box packed away or lost it as I did not get the other sight with it and the manual. I called them and they are shipping me out a Ghost Ring Rear Sight and a manual today. No Charge no problem.
