What do you think about this gun? hi point 45acp model (34512) good bad ugly ? anyone own one ?

HiPoint takes ugly to a whole other level. That said, I have read only good things about their reliability. The one HiPoint pistol I have fired (something in 9mm) had one of the worst triggers I have ever felt.

Hi-Point firearms are generally reliable. They aren't Sig/HK/Glock levels of reliable but it's not a Lorcin either.

 

It's like having a very low mileage 1976 Ford Pinto that was garaged for the past 30 years. It's reliable for the most part and easy to fix but it's ugly as sin and you won't be picking up any chicks with it.

Definitely ugly. I asked a fellow shooter at the range yesterday if I could shoot his Hipoint 9mm, I've heard so many negative things about Hipoint I wanted to see how it shot. To my surprise, it functioned fine. I shot AmEagle 124g out of it and even under rapid fire it was ejecting and functioning smoothly. As Lunker stated, the trigger is not as crisp as most 'nicer' pistols, but for a really cheap pistol, I guess it does the job. I was shooting at about 12yds and accuracy was alright.

 

If I were you, I would just save up another couple hundred for the 5 or 6 range and look into a better pistol, but if your interested in a Hipoint then you obviously don't want to spend over $200.

Well so far you guys have me about falling out of my chair laughing ..

Unless your curiosity needs to be satisfied, instead get a new Sig P250 or Beretta Storm for < $400. See the "Good Deals" forum.

well i already ordered it from shore shot should be here mon or tues . i figured with the money i saved i could buy alot of ammo or reloading supplys. well for one thing i will be the only guy with the ugly green gun having fun .

Well then I will just come up and introduce myself next time I see someone shooting a green plastic gun.

that would be nice Chris and i will let you beat it up some also . Bob

Haha. I see, keep the "already ordered it" part outta the first post huh!?

 

In that case, I must say you made a good decision in the aspect of saving the extra couple hundred bucks and putting it towards lots of ammo and such.

 

Have fun with it! Post up a range report when you get a chance as well...

I don't know what you would do with a Hi-Point. You wouldn't carry it, or use it for home defense, and plinking would be a waste since it shoots expensive rounds. The only way I'd buy a Hi-Point is if they made 22s, so it would NEVER be considered for any kind of defensive work.

 

BTW, you can get a Ruger P series pistol for under 400 bucks. That is a gun that gives you the most bang for your buck.

Iknew what some of the responses would be on the ugly and so on . it is somthing else for us to talk about and laugh about .and yes when igo to pick it up hopefuly i will try it out that day and get back to everyone so you can bust my b---s some more . its all good fun Bob

Let us know how you like it. I'm curious about the Hi-Point 9mm carbine. Been reading about the carbine and didn't see 1 negative review on any Hi-point firearm by people that actually own one.

I have shot the Hi Point 9mm carbine. It looks like hammered shitt, but it is accurate and seems like it would take a good beating. The only meaningful improvement (i.e. non-aesthetic) I can think of is if it took Glock mags. But that is my complaint of a lot of these carbines, like the Ruger PC-9.
