HI-POINT JCP w/Magazine — a used Hi-Point JCP .40 S&W Semi-Automatic Pistol that ships with (1) magazine and is described to “operate as should.” Shop this product

Design and specifications

This listing is for a used Hi-Point JCP offered in the Semi Auto category, priced at $139.99. The pistol is chambered in .40 S&W, a caliber noted for a balance between stopping power and manageable recoil in compact-to-full-size platforms. The product description specifically notes it includes (1) magazine and that it “operates as should,” which underscores its serviceable condition for someone seeking an economical entry into .40 S&W platforms.

Why the .40 S&W matters

.40 S&W occupies a middle ground between 9mm and .45 ACP for energy and terminal performance. For defensive-minded shooters who prefer heavier bullet weight and higher energy without stepping up to larger calibers, this caliber remains relevant. Expect brisk recoil compared with 9mm, so training for rapid, accurate fire is recommended.

Practical considerations for buyers

Hi-Point as a brand has built a reputation for affordability and simplicity. The model listed here is noted as “Various” under model, implying inventory may include different production runs of the JCP platform. Because this is a used item, inspect for functional wear and verify that the included (1) magazine locks and feeds reliably. At $139.99, this pistol represents a cost-effective option for a project gun, range trainer, or low-cost defensive backup when paired with proper inspection and maintenance.
