Hi-Point YC380 Yeet Cannon Red Dot – Rugged 380 ACP Threaded Pistol, 10+1

Description

The Hi-Point YC380 Yeet Cannon Red Dot is the 380 ACP member of Hi-Point’s Yeet Cannon line, shipped with a red dot already mounted on its serrated two-tone slide.

Hi-Point YC380 Yeet Cannon Red Dot Overview

Hi-Point lists the YC380 with a 4.12-inch threaded barrel, a 34.2-ounce weight, a 7.6-inch overall length and a 10-round magazine. Our distributor feed lists this configuration with a 3.93-inch barrel and a black and chrome serrated slide topped by a Crimson Trace optic, so confirm the barrel length on the factory box if it matters to you. The combination of a heavy blowback slide and the mild 380 ACP cartridge produces very little felt recoil.

Blowback Design and Build

The YC380 uses a straight blowback action with a fixed barrel, a polymer frame and a heavy slide. The fixed barrel helps practical accuracy and the simple design keeps the price low, but the slide mass is why these pistols weigh more than polymer guns of similar size. Hi-Point builds them with American-made parts and assembly and covers them with a lifetime warranty that follows the gun to later owners.

Sights, Safety and Controls

The YC380 has a fully adjustable rear sight and a replaceable front sight that accepts Glock-pattern units, and the slide is cut for an optic. A manual thumb safety and a slide that locks open after the last round are standard, and Hi-Point rates the pistol for +P ammunition. The magazine release sits behind the trigger guard, and the blowback slide rewards a firm grip for reliable cycling.

Optic and Threaded Barrel

A reflex sight puts the aiming point and the target on the same focal plane, which helps shooters whose eyes struggle with iron sights. Confirm the zero at 10 to 15 yards with your chosen load and check that the mounting screws are snug. The 1/2×28 threaded barrel makes the YC380 an interesting suppressor host for owners who already have a can, but a suppressor is an NFA item that requires an approved ATF Form 4 and must be legal where you live.

Recoil, Size and Ammunition

Hi-Point lists the YC380 at 34.2 ounces with a 10-round magazine and a 1913 accessory rail. That weight makes 380 ACP recoil very soft, but the pistol is large and heavy for its caliber, so it suits home defense or range use better than all-day carry. 380 ACP carries less energy than 9mm and usually costs more per round.

Honest Caveats

Hi-Point pistols trade refinement for price. They are heavy and thick for their size, the trigger is long and gritty, and holster and magazine choices are far narrower than for mainstream polymer pistols. Takedown takes a punch rather than a lever. Resale value is modest, and a weak grip can cause stoppages, so practice with a firm hold. Optic batteries need periodic replacement, and some states restrict threaded barrels on semi-automatic pistols.

State Laws and Ownership

Pennsylvania buyers 21 and older can purchase this pistol through a dealer, and carrying it concealed or in a vehicle generally requires a License to Carry Firearms. Other states are stricter: some keep a roster of approved handguns, some cap magazine capacity, some restrict threaded barrels on pistols, and many require a purchase permit. Check your state and local rules before ordering.
