Only kidding. Anyone actually own/shoot one of those $150 specials?

I've shot one. Not nearly as bad as you'd think. I'd take it over a S&W Sigma.

Was actually checking out a few on youtube. From what individuals are saying; its not bad for the $150.00. Go for it, i mean you wouldn't be disappointed as long as it shoots right?? Very Top Heavy!

If I was not a NJ resident and didn't have to waste a BS permit on one and then wait 30 days till I could buy another handgun I would probably have 1 of each caliber they make, for the price you really can't beat them. I do have friends with them and they do say they don't shoot bad at all and shoot any ammo as long as the gun is cleaned after each trip to the range.

I have the carbine rifle. .40. Its great, got it used and it didn't look to good. I called hi point and they said send in the parts that look crapp and rusty and we will refinish. So I sent in a few things, not the receiver, but the bolt carrier, and upper assembly. The refinished it sent me mags, a sling a new sight assembly since mine was missing. Now it shoots great, alot of fun no jams, no problems.

I have the 9mm and absolutely LOVE it!

They're ugly as hell and shoot ok, but they do shoot and aren't too inaccurate. I shot some kids at Brick Armory and it was NOT at all as bad as everyone says they are. But once your on the internet/forums frequently, you realize a lot of people don't know what they're talking about anyway.

i mean if you want one to kick around with and show your friends how "gangsta" you are then go for it, but it's a big step down from a Ruger P series or a Sigma.

Ruger yes, Sigma no. The Sigma might be the WORST gun I have ever shot. It makes the Glock NY 12lb trigger feel like butter.

Yea I just got a sigma and the trigger feels like 50 lbs and is a mile long.think I might sell it just because the trigger sucks.

Hi point pistols remind me of cordless drills when they have magazine extentions in them. Hahaha. From the vids that I have seen, you can beat the hell out of them and they still function.

Funny, my friend had a Sigma 40 that would smack the bone on my thumb. I'd still choice a Smith over a Hi-Point though.

Have to agree. I wonder if dewalt designs them for hi-point LoL

It seems people trash them because they're cheap and fugly, but when you read reviews from owners they praise them. Supposedly they're warranty and service is pretty good too. Personally wouldn't waste my time getting their handgun (I love my XD and there's too many others I want first), although I'd like to eventually get my hands on one of the rifles in 9mm. I figure I already have 9mm laying around for the handgun why not be able to shoot it out of a rifle.

I do think most trash them for the looks and price, however I know people who have bought used ones and called the company and said they had a problem with something, One person it was the sights on the gun. she had 1 of the 2 styles they had for that gun and she wanted the other ones. Another person has some small item in the trigger assembly that wasn't working right. Both of them the customer service took there information, address, confirmed the part and in less than a week they had the new parts, no questions asked, free and shipped on Hi Point's dime. Now you can't beat that.

 

Like I said for what they cost, I would probably have one of each if I lived in a different state.

As I posted before, I have the C9 and love it. Anyone who wants to try it out, let me know. I am a member at SCFGPA and can bring a guest or 2 in for free.

I believe someone actually posted about owning one of these a while back.. and despite all the **** talking the elitists did he was pretty happy with the gun.. at the time at least.. it would probably be worth it to dig for that thread and see if he still has said gun and see how it is doing now.. I drink the Glock cool aid.. they are cheap enough used.. and are proven.. but if the hi point works.. it works..

edit.. here this might be useful..

This was about 10 yrds 8 rounds on 1/25/11. I got the gun last week and put through the paces . i put 5 mags through it that day. i also could not pull the trigger as fast as would shoot. no jams so far. I must say for the price it does the job .

Only kidding. Anyone actually own/shoot one of those $150 specials?

Yes i do own 2 of theese i have the 9 & 45 there is nothing special about theese guns they work and shoot where u aim. ifound mine dont like winchester ammo . other than that they work .if you would like to try them out let know and we can see what we could arrange. the triggers are not crisp like others they have some creep and r on the heavy side .if you would like more info please feel free to ask .

I shot JG's 9mm, and it was very accurate in my hands @ 10yds. I found that it had failure to feeds when I got it in my hands, although this was after it was already good and dirty. I am considering buying one as a "beat the hell out of it gun" to teach newbies with.

Hey j0n, That day you shot it, I actually hated it. Since then the trigger is smoother and a little lighter. Also, since adjusting the sights, it is much more accurate for me too. I also don't have as many failures as you had that one time. So now I actually like it a lot more. Thanks for trying it out and giving me your thoughts on it.

Excellent! And thank YOU for letting me put some rounds through it.

HiPoints remind me of that saying about Mopeds and fat girls. They're both fun to ride,but you wouldn't want your friends seeing you on one.

...I shot some kids at Brick Armory and it was NOT at all as bad as everyone says they are.

 

Wow, I had to read that twice. I thought you had put the weapon to the ultimate test!

Lol. Punctuation is important!

 

"I shot some kids" vs "I shot some kid's"
