Key Features
- Threaded Steel Barrel – Why it matters: Lets you mount a suppressor or compensator directly, reducing muzzle rise and noise for faster follow-up shots without aftermarket machining.
- Optic-Ready Slide – Why it matters: Accepts popular red-dot footprints so you can co-witness irons or run a dot for quicker target acquisition in low-light or competition settings.
- 1913 Picatinny Accessory Rail – Why it matters: Attach a weapon light or laser for home-defense or low-visibility use, no adapter plates needed.
- Glock-Compatible Front Sight – Why it matters: Swap front sights with common Glock-pattern replacements to dial in your preferred sight picture or add tritium night sights.
- Fully Adjustable Rear Sight – Why it matters: Fine-tune windage and elevation for precise zeroing at the range without sending the slide to a gunsmith.
Who It’s For
This pistol fits shooters who want a low-cost 9mm with modern features: the budget-conscious carrier, first-time suppressor owner, or anyone building a practical defensive gun without dropping four figures. It works for range plinking, home defense, and concealed carry if you don’t mind the weight.
Pros & Cons

FAQ
Is the Hi-Point YC9 Yeet Cannon 9mm threaded barrel black +P rated?
Yes, per manufacturer specs, the YC9 is rated for +P ammunition. The threaded steel barrel handles the increased pressure without issue, but standard-pressure loads are recommended for extended use to minimize wear.
What holsters fit the Hi-Point YC9 Yeet Cannon?
Most universal soft holsters or custom Kydex options from small makers work. Because the slide profile is unique, you’ll want to check fit with a specific holster before buying. Some owners report that certain Glock 19 holsters work with minor adjustments.
Can I mount a red dot directly on the slide?
Yes, the slide is optic-ready with a removable cover plate. It accepts common micro-dot footprints like Shield RMS and Docter. You’ll need to verify exact bolt pattern with your chosen optic, but no adapter plate is required for most.
What magazines come with the Hi-Point YC9?
It ships with one 10-round magazine. Additional magazines are available from Hi-Point and some third-party suppliers. The mags are single-stack and proprietary, not Glock-compatible.
Is the barrel threaded 1/2×28?
Yes, the threaded barrel uses the standard 1/2×28 thread pitch, which fits most 9mm suppressors and compensators on the market. This is a common size, so you won’t need adapters for popular cans.
