I am doing this. I got a C9 super cheap and after the hydro dip it still comes out less than $200.

Dayum .. I like it too. Wonder what's the story on the grip panels?

HiPoints are just perfect for going wild on, 'cause they have no dignity to begin with. :)

That is pretty cool! I wish the pics were in color, but even in black & white it looks good. I had a Hi Point JHP .45 for a while, and shot it quite a bit when I first got it, but after the newness wore off I didn't shoot it much and it took up valuable space in my safe, so I sold it to a friend who wanted it more than I did. They aren't the prettiest guns to look at, but they are accurate and reliable...and this treatment does make them look pretty cool anyway.

They grip panels are hydro dipped carbon fiber pattern. I have seen some of the grip panels on ebay a couple of times but never ccould justify the price they were asking.

It is in color. Just to be sure I checked it in PhotoShop, but could already see magenta shading in the shadows. None of the values are neutral, so it's not gone from color to grayscale and back to color either.

I thought it was, even if it was not, that is the look I want.

I've often thought of buying one of these for a truck gun, but I doubt I would send the money on one to have this done! It could be better spent other places. It does look pretty cool though.

I love the grip panels. And the finish is nice too. The only thing wrong with it is........... its not a .45. Just kidding. I'd love to have a .45 Hi-Point. Thats gonna be my next handgun buy. A lot of people put down the Hi-Point but, its cheap, reliable, and the warranty is awesome. Did I say its made in U.S.A. You can send Hi-Point your gun thats wore out and they'll fix it or replace it free. It don't matter if your the original owner or 10th.

Lol I have one its hideous I just couldn't see putting any money into it like that.

Interesting look creates an allure of sophistication and money. But then some people like to shellac buffalo excrement and set it out on display too. None of that matters though; sometimes you have to overlook the gloss to find the real deal. HPA might make some homely firearms but: A. People buy them by the truck load. B. They have a fan base that rivals all others. C. For their cost your getting a lot of gun.

price of the pistol: $75

price of the paint job: $150

price of the grips: $25

total cost: enough to buy a used glock

being the coolest pimp in the hood: priceless.

Where can you get a used glock for $250, because I want a bunch of those at that price.

Second time I've had occasion to post this pic today.

This is me with HP C9 in tactical gansta mode. Just think how much cooler I'd look if it only had that paint job!
