The Hi-Point JCP 40 S&W delivers reliable performance in a full-size polymer frame configuration that prioritizes function over flash. This OD Green variant features a 4.5-inch barrel and 10+1 capacity, providing shooters with a straightforward platform for range training and home defense applications.
What Makes This Different
Hi-Point firearms stand apart through their lifetime warranty coverage and American manufacturing approach that keeps costs accessible without sacrificing core functionality. The polymer construction reduces overall weight while maintaining structural integrity, and the fixed barrel design contributes to consistent accuracy potential. The OD Green finish provides a tactical appearance that resists wear better than standard black polymer surfaces.
Key Features
- 40 S&W chambering with 10+1 magazine capacity for substantial stopping power
- 4.5-inch barrel length optimizes velocity while maintaining manageable overall dimensions
- OD Green polymer frame, slide, and grip construction for durability and weight reduction
- Fixed barrel design eliminates tilting mechanism variables for improved accuracy potential
- Manual thumb safety and magazine disconnect safety provide multiple safety layers
- Picatinny rail section accommodates tactical lights and laser accessories
- High-contrast three-dot sight system for rapid target acquisition
The 40 S&W cartridge bridges the gap between 9mm capacity and 45 ACP stopping power, making this platform suitable for home defense scenarios where overpenetration concerns exist. The polymer construction handles temperature extremes without the expansion issues associated with aluminum frames, while the fixed barrel eliminates accuracy variables common in tilting barrel designs. Range performance remains consistent across various ammunition weights, from 165-grain to 180-grain projectiles.
