Clean, yes or no
I just picked up today a new Hi Point 380 pistol with the compensator on it. To clean it you have to take the compensator off and take a punch and drive out a role pin to clean it before I shoot it. My question is, "should I go to the all the trouble of cleaning it first or trust that the factory did a good job of cleaning it after production" ? I would like to hear your thoughts on this. Joe

My Hipoint 995 TS has never been cleaned,it is now over 3,000 rounds and only for kicks and giggles to see how far this rifle will go without issues.All I know is I am running out of 9mm ammo for the firearm !

Its cast zinc, there aren't going to be any metal filings inside of it.

Can of spray cleaner, gun scrubber, hoppies new medic stuff, balistal, whatever and a bore snake. Oil it. That’s all it ever needs in the way of cleaning.
Comp on a hi point?! Hope it’s got the $100 bill dip.
Rack it a hundred times before you shoot it. It will break it in.The Gun is the Badge of a Free Man

I didn't think anyone cleaned Hipoints. When they get dirty, you throw them away and buy a new one.
Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,
and a trip to the house of pain.

Just hose it out with Zippo or Ronsonol lighter fluid.
As long as your aren't shooting cast lead out of it, it won't get that dirty.
