Hi Point converted to 1911 mags

[Anangrypasta]

Just wanted to share this build for anyone with Hi Point 45 pistols! Been working on this JHP 45 and one of the mods made is the Thingmeister Fabrications 1911 mag catch. Anyone who owns one of these pistols should consider grabbing one of these. Swapping parts took 5 minutes start to finish and 1911 mags fit and lock perfect. The last round slide lock is also functional. These also work on thr Hi Point 4595 carbine, but be advised that they do not function in the Hightower Conversion

1911 Conversion Kit for HiPoint 45ACP ONLY

ATTENTION: ORDERS PLACED AFTER 07/06/2022 WILL BE DELAYED IN SHIPPING UNTIL 7/20/2022. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND PATRONAGE. Converts your HP4595 or JHP so that it accepts 1911 mags instead of proprietary Hipoint mags**. DOES NOT WORK WITH HIGHTOWER BULLPUP. **Hipoint mags will no longer...

I love the idea! Take an ugly and unreliable pistol and convert it take unreliable magazines! unless you buy $40 Chip McCormick magazines for a $200 pistol I’m just teasing you, I don’t badmouth someone’s guns. The best thing about high point firearms is their social media, they post awesome memes!

Just curious Grits, have you experienced an unreliable highpoint? I have a 9mm carbine that I bought at a gun show close to 20 years ago for $155. It has always worked and is surprisingly accurate. Yes it’s ugly, looks like a toy, has nuts and bolts holding the pot metal together but it works.

It's funny, you never hear people who own them say they are unreliable. The only guys with unreliable Hi Points are the ones who never owned them!

They shoot. I've had several.

I didn't know about this conversion. If the conversion works well in the High Point. I might have to reconsider what I carry for a truck gun.

Loved my Hi Points. I've had 2 9mm and one 10mm, all carbines. No argument at all about the ugly, nuts and bolts, pot metal descriptions. One good thing about Hi Point owners, most of them can take a joke, and dish it out just as well. Kind of like Ford.....or Chevy....or Dodge....

I just wish they were made to take Glock mags!

Telling a High Point owner that High Points are unreliable, is like telling a parent that they have an ugly child
I was joking in my previous post, by picking on High Point, because everyone picks on high point. In all honesty, I have never owned or fired a high point, so I have no experience to base my opinion on. I actually have heard some people say that their’s have been pretty reliable.

I took it as a joke haha. As it happens, it'll be running Wilson Combat mags. Don't own a 1911 but for some reason I had a couple of these things laying around.

Also, I like to think Hi Point fans can take and dish a joke. We did name their newest model the Yeet Cannon after all.

I still want this one... G-money, thats the actual name.

They work well because the hi points are Russian Makarov clones, which are die hard and battle tested. I might reconsider getting one of these 45 carbines now too. I got a 45 hi point pistol in trade years ago and sold it because of the proprietary mags. 1911 mags tip the scales

I mean they're ugly as sin but it's like riding a fat chick......

I had a 9mm lung blower scoped carbine that would group coffee cup sized @ 100. Big drop though.
