Hi-point

**jiveass** · 11-01-2010, 08:10 PM

Anyone have any experience with hi-point? I know they're a cheap brand but I been reading reviews and supposedly their carbines are not too bad.

I did a little research on them not to lone ago, people say a few of the carbines work gret... like the c9 or something like that. The pistols are very heavy and cheap, they work most of the time but have been known to jam.

From what i heard the carbine is the only thing worth purchasing, even some law enforcement uses the 9mm carbine.

I have a 40 cal pistol and it has perfomed pretty well for about 6 years now. But it never had a whole bunch of rounds through it either.For a cheap gun they are okay. If you want a cheap gun I would suggest a Cobra same price but seem more solid to me.

Eh. Hi point pistols are shit. You might as well wipe your ass with $150, then carry a hammer to throw at your attacker.

The carbines are awesome for their price. Go figger!
Keltec sub 2000 is a great one too, and it folds up and takes Gg17 or S&W5906 mags.

As for cobra, you might as well drive a pinto and bang fat chicks.

Speaking of the hi-point carbines.
I just bought the .45 version this past Saturday w/ a red dot scope. For the price I love it so far. Only problem with the .45 I have no found any extended mags as of yet.
