The serial number translates to 2782. From what I’ve read that system was in place from 1940 to 1957. While that’s the best I can say that seems somewhat questionable as 4 digits only leaves room for 10,000 firearms, a minuscule number for the period.

The Hi-Point Model JHP is a polymer-framed, semi-automatic, blowback-operatedpistol manufactured by Hi-Point Firearms.
It is chambered in .45 ACP and is rated to accept +P ammunition.
Design[edit]
The pistol has a proprietary integral accessory rail, and a thumb safety which doubles as a slide lock. The weapon uses the .45 ACP cartridge, and is the largest pistol that Hi-Point manufactures. All of Hi-Point's handguns use a blowback design similar to that used in the German Walther PPK and Russian Makarov PM. In blowback weapons the return spring and mass of the slide absorbs the rearward force generated by the propulsion of the bullet. As the slide moves back, an extractor hooks the empty casing by the rim and pulls it out of the chamber after which the case is ejected. After the slide has completed its rearward travel, the recoil spring moves the slide forward, also chambering another round. Many modern handguns use a locked-breech design and therefore do not require the amount of mass that the blowback design requires in order to remain safe to fire. Because all Hi-Point firearms are rated for +P ammunition the slides are even heftier than what would otherwise be necessary.
When the last round is fired and ejected, the slide will lock in the open position. There is no slide release on the Hi-Point .45 JHP, so releasing the slide is performed by pulling the locked slide further back. When another magazine is loaded into the weapon all that is necessary is a short pull back, unlike the full length pull to chamber the first round.
Out of the box this pistol is mounted with a typical 3-dot sight and also includes a free ghost ring sight. Along with the sights the weapon comes with a trigger lock and other combinations are available as well such as a hard plastic storage case, a metal lock box, and a belt holster. It's available in plain black, pink camouflage, woodland camouflage, and digital desert camouflage. The gun's barrel has a 7 groove right hand twist, and the proprietary integrated accessory rail only fits a Hi-Point LaserLyte laser sight or ¾ inch laser ring.
Due to the fixed barrel, accuracy is well above average, on par with higher priced pistols [1] this weapon remains popular due to its low cost and lifetime, no questions asked warranty, and extremely rugged nature. While Hi-Point Firearms gives free repairs for the entire life of the gun, most competitors in the firearms industry only offer lifetime warranties for the first owner.
Some aftermarket upgrades or modifications not sold by Hi-Point are available such as a milled aluminum rear sight, wood grips, a replacement magazine catch that converts the pistol to use 1911 magazines, a milled aluminum trigger, and a stainless steel guide rod. Also, the magazine spring is also approximately the same size as the Glock 43, for which there are stronger aftermarket springs available.
Criticisms[edit]
Hi-Point handguns have been criticized for their weight and size, however, they do help to reduce recoil. The JHP has also been known to have issues with magazine feeds and feed jams.[citation needed] To remedy this some owners have reported good results bending the feed lips of the magazine and replacing the magazine spring.
Some consider the lack of a firing pin block safety mechanism in the striker fired design to be inherently less safe than other designs and, therefore not safe to carry in Condition One. However other firearms are similar in design such as the 1911.

Field stripping a Hi-Point requires the use of a punch to remove a pin, while most modern pistols can be disassembled for cleaning without the use of additional tools.

Hi-Point Firearms, also known as Strassell's Machine, Inc (distributed by MKS Supply), is an American firearms manufacturer based in Mansfield, Ohio. All of their firearms are manufactured in the United States, in several different locations in Ohio.
Construction of products[edit]
Pistols[edit]
A Hi-Point JCP pistol
Hi-Point semi-automatic pistols are polymer framed handguns based on the blowback design. Different than other blowback design pistols such as the Walther PPK, the P-64, and the Astra 600 which use a heavy slide combined with a stiff recoil spring to hold the breech closed, these pistols use an even heavier slide so they can use a softer recoil spring. When compared to breech-locking handguns of the same caliber and dimensions, the Hi-Point is rather top heavy. As most blowback handguns, this pistol has less moving parts to clean and lubricate than its locker breech counterparts. Hi-Point recommends hosing out the action with a powder solvent like Break Free Powder Blast, Rem Oil or another aerosol solvent every 300 to 400 rounds, then running a cleaning brush through the bore.
Many semi-automatic pistols can be field stripped without the use of any tools. However, Hi-Point pistols require a small punch or a small screwdriver and a hammer to remove a pin in the receiver, in order to permit slide removal (and thus enable field-stripping).
Rather than being machined from forged steel, the slide is die cast from Zamak-3 (A traditional zincalloy, also popularly referred to as pot metal or white metal). When asked why die-casting was chosen as a manufacturing technique, a Hi-Point representative responded, 'In the area of Ohio where we are located, there are many shops that specialize in die casting for the auto industry. We utilize this resource.'[1]
Uncommon for this construction, they are rated for +P ammunition in calibers up to .45 ACP. Blowback designs are generally simpler in design and easier and cheaper to manufacture than locked-breech recoil-operated firearms. And while the fixed barrel of a blowback gun generally will contribute to improved accuracy, blowback guns usually need to be larger and heavier than a locked-breech gun firing the same caliber.
Carbines[edit]
The Hi-Point carbine is a series of pistol-caliber carbines manufactured by Hi-Point Firearms chambered, for 9×19mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, 10mm Auto, .45 ACP and .380 ACP handgun cartridges. They are very inexpensive, constructed using polymers and alloyed metals as much as possible, resulting in a reduction of production costs and sale price. It functions via a simple direct blowback action. Hi-Point carbines use a polymer stock, stampedsheet metal receiver cover, and a receiver and bolt cast from Zamak-3. The barrel is steel and button rifled using a 1-10' right hand twist.
Use of zinc alloy[edit]
Some people are wary of Hi-Points because of the use of zinc alloy (Zamak-3) castings in much of their construction. However, the parts made from Zamak-3 in Hi-Point guns (bolt/slide) are low-stress components that do not require the strength of steel at these pistol cartridge power levels. The slide is made of a polymer. Higher stress and wear components in Hi-Points, like the barrel, chamber, breech and other small parts, are made of steel.
Calibers[edit]
Hi-Point manufactures firearms in the following calibers:
- .380 ACP – Model CF-380 and 380COMP[2]
- 9×19mm Parabellum – C-9 and C-9 COMP pistols and YC-9 [3]
- .40 S&W – Model JCP pistol[4]
- .45 ACP – Model JHP pistol[5]
- Hi-Point Carbines chambered in .380 ACP,[6]9mm Luger,[7].40 S&W, 10mm Auto,[8] and .45 ACP[9]

Safety[edit]
Hi-Point firearms have a manual thumb safety and an integral drop safety that prevents firing in the event that the firearm is dropped. Until recently, all Hi-Point products except the 995 (9mm) carbine had a last-round lock open and magazine disconnect safety, preventing firing unless a magazine was in the gun. With the replacement of the original 9mm carbine with the new 995 TS model, all pistols and carbines now have these features.[10][11]
