Yeet Cannon to become a reality

It is officially happening! The Hi-Point “Name the Nine” promotion resulted exactly how we thought it would, the YC9. Resulting from an enormous push from fans voicing their opinion via votes and polls, the YC9 (Yeet Cannon 9) will be the name of Hi-Point’s newest semi-auto pistol.

The Hi-Point post on Facebook read as follows:

“YC9!!!!!!
YC9 is the winner! Not that anyone here is really surprised. What is surprising was that almost half a million votes for YC9. Way cool. The Yeet is strong! Look to see the YC9 and the YC9 YEET CANNON late 2019! Cameron M. you were the first person to submit YC9 as a model number name. Check your e-mail, we will be reaching out to you. If you can’t wait for the YC9 then we have the C9 YEET CANNON G1 edition! These will be a limited run.”

Besides announcing one lucky winner, Hi-Point also released another interesting nugget. While the actual YC9 becomes available later this year, fans can currently purchase a specially-marked C09 Yeet Cannon G1.

The Hi-Point Yeet Cannon G1 features a high-impact polymer frame and grips with a durable, easy-grip finish. External, manual thumb safety and magazine disconnect safety both come standard. The pistol employs a last-round lock open feature and is rated for +P ammunition.

Social media exploded with fans trolling Hi-Point demanding they put the YC9 into production. As a result two Yeet Cannons are on their way to production from Hi-Point.
