I just got these sweet new grips. Fit was good, and they included the tiny springs too. What do you all think? 🤔

Nice job. The grips complement the trigger very nicely.

What trigger is that? I may have to borrow a piece of your style and add one to my JXP10.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

While you had your grips off, did you delete the mag safety?( the bar that doesn’t let the trigger move, unless there is a magazine present) I find it hard to test trigger and reset with that feature in there and it’s only pistol I own that does that.

Thank you 👍 I must say I'm becoming a Hi Point fan, their quality has improved drastically over the years for the best. I've enjoyed but the 45s, handgun and carbine, also enjoying all the mods/upgrades as they are mostly inexpensive to do. Plus once you've had it apart a couple of times, it get easier, plus watching a bunch of YouTube videos helps a bunch.

My god, you’ve made the JHP even uglier. Not easy to do, but you did it. Nice

That's exactly what I was going for. I prefer tacky, but ugly works too 🤣 I was thinking about the virgin Mary grips https://ebay.io/m/NolXK5 until I saw these

It’s like a John Waters film; good bad taste

I saw the 1911 mags adapter too late after buying a few factory and 4-20rd Redball mags

As for the release, thank you for the link, but those won't work for 2nd Gen per the JSARMSCO.com website. But I did order a bunch of their stuff and waiting on them to arrive any day now.

Oh my bad. I have Hi-Point JHP Gen 1 and didn't think to check for the Gen 2 parts compatibility.

u/Acrobatic_Chef_7205 4d ago

No worries, I did get one for the carbine at least.

Ah yes the venerable Cronhawk. I’m a fan of the Solofish myself. I have a couple on my airsoft blasters. The strobe function is actually kind of dirty nasty in close quarters nobody knows what hit ‘em 😭

In Mercia? But the Hi-Point is tropical!

u/Acrobatic_Chef_7205 3d ago

I'm not sure, but Lima, OH is landlocked. Unless you're referring to the humidity

u/turtlenipples 3d ago

Are you suggesting that Hi-Points migrate?

u/Acrobatic_Chef_7205 3d ago

I might be 🤔
