What do you guys think? Hi-point guns.....

inexpensive, very heavy, odd looking

I just bought a .380 and I like it. TJ is correct it is very heavy but it was only $135.00 delivered so I can't complain.

Oh no, not the Hi-Point thing again.

Pics or it doesn't exhist! Please embarasse yourself and show us your ghetto blaster!

hand guns are junk....would not trust it if my life depended on it....rifles are nice plinkers for the money..but ugly as hell...

the ugliest rifles ever made should have been used in the planet of the apes movies.everyone Ive met that has had one loved them.lifes to short to shoot ugly guns

I've heard they have good customer service though.

I dunno about their CS but I'd never trust anything they make with my life. I wouldn't even want to stand near one when it went off.

Pistol caliber carbines are supposed to be decent guns. If I could find one for about $150 I'd pickup that ugly thing. There are a few nicer looking aftermarket stocks made for it.

Why, because their inexpensive and ugly? I did'nt buy it for protection I have a shotgun for that. I bought it because its American made, life time warranty, and at $135.00 is was worth it. I could think of worst things to spend money on but IMO my Hi-Point .380 was worth it.

I have been wanting the .380 also but the cost of ammo is still high.

I am a member on many sites and find that most people that bash them never owned

or fired one. The people that do own love them for plinkers, never failed, broke or let them down.

It's not a military or LE spec pistol and does not claim to be one. Their carbines get rave reviews from all

and the new 995-TS is pretty damn nice looking.

 

I will get around to getting one of each, my plan is to put at least 100 rounds though them each time

I shoot and never clean and see how long it will go until failure. The only thing I hear is they have a 100

round break in period but so did my $650.00 Kahr and my $1000.00 Kimber.

A friend of mine has one. I think he paid $175 for it, used in a shop in PA. He lives in PA though.

I have the $200 9mm carbine and it is well worth the money. Bolt handle on the left. It is a 1/4-20 hex head bolt in a sleeve. I may dress it up with a nice socket head cap screw inside a knurled handle turned on the lathe.

I fired the 9mm carbine at Shore Shot. It was ugly but accurate and fun to shoot. I've spent $200 on stupider things.

So have I.

22s are fun plinkers, that "gun" is nothing more than a ghetto blaster. Why not spend the little extra dough and get a gun that you could actually trust your life with. If it's for plinking, then get a 22, this way the ammo is cheap and you won't have to worry about using it for home defense.

Only if your in the Ghetto I guess. again use one and then complain, it's a decently made reliable

pistol, to many people caught up on price. To be honest I feel like Kel-tec is far worse, owned 2

and both were cheaply made and assembled. I also have seen more Ket-tec 380's pulled of off thugs in

Jersey and Philly then I have HI-Points. Not everyone wants to shoot a .22 pistol I know I dont and not

everyone has $350.00 + to buy a pistol. Again I have come across dozens of guy's who own them and love

them. They do not CCW with them but they sure shoot the hell out of em.

You know what, your right. Even though I'll never own one, I won't make fun at someone who does.

 

I should also point out, "He who lives in a glass house, shouldn't thow stones."

I think he meant the corollary; He who smelt it, dealt it.

As fun as the carbines are to shoot, Hi-Point's look ilke hammered shit.

 

They are like mopeds and ugly girls...

 

Fun to ride but you're embarassed to show them to your friends.

WOW....I have a 995TS carbine and it functions perfectly! Never FTF or FTE so far at 500+ rounds 9mm. With a sightmark on there Im in 1.5" groups at 50 yrds. Got a 15 round hi cap mag,aluminum chaging handle and mag release,MagPul forward assist,muzzlebreak and tac light which makes it look SICK! I think the handguns arent too fashionable but the NEW carbines are Outstanding! Let me know if anyone wants to see pics?

I've bought a firearm that was lemon. I went with price instead of quality.

Mopeds will look real good if gas ever reaches $5.00 a gallon, ugly girls will do anything for you and if she ever leaves you who cares and anyone that worries what other people think should grow a set of balls. Its ugly who cares!

I hear that they are comming out with a .40 cal. model this Spring.

True to what most people are saying.

 

I was at BH and someone next to me was firing a Hi-Point 45. It was ugly and was jamming up about once per mag.

 

Then his friend who seemed more experienced was complaining on the weight and how inaccurate it was and he should get rid of it. After a conversation, he let me try it. I have to admit, it isn't the nicest gun I have fired. It was very top heavy, awkward and wasn't too accurate (not to say that I am a sharpshooter ). Good thing is they stand by their pistols 100% with a warranty.

 

I know the saying "Everybody has the right to defend themselves, even those with less money" but if I knew that my gun jams once every mag, I still would feel a little defenseless.
