    I think that HK is kind of being like a mean girl here. No matter what, the reputation of their Mark 23 isn't going to be tarnished by pretending that it has some stupid name, but if you can get a loser gun company to officially name a product something so stupid, while getting a bunch of press, it's a win/win situation.

    That's my theory at least.

      I saw this yesterday in a PSA email, couldn't figure it out until I saw this thread. Usually the special lowers at PSA have a distinctive, obvious meaning.....this one had me baffled.

              I know that HK is pushing them to name the gun "Yeet Cannon", and that they will do the photo shoot with their Mark 23. It seems to me that it's a trick to get Hi-Point to look even more silly. Kind of like the "cool kids" inviting a nerd to a regular party, but telling them that it's a pirate-themed costume party, only to have the poor kid show up dressed as Blackbeard with a parrot on his shoulder while everyone else is dressed normally. Not that I have any personal experience with that sort of thing...

                When you charge the HK prices for Rolls Royce goods.

                Yet Hi-Point sells reasonable priced goods at Toyota prices.

                  It’s a brilliant way to attract fresh meat to the gun market.

                    Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

                        No way I would buy a Hi-Point. But I would totally buy a Hi-Point "Yeet Cannon".

                          Meme name aside, it looks like a pretty good gun for the money. Threaded barrel, changeable back strap, front serrations, double stack mag, all for the same $200 price. Plus it can also still use single stack hi point mags for those that have them.
