Great article in American Handguner. Just confirming what a few of us have been saying for a long time. Great defensive weapon on a budget.
 
I just went to their website to look for a link to paste here... No luck. Their website is trash. It's the least user friendly website i have tried to navigate in a long time.

Usually, current articles in magazines don't get put online until it's been out a while.

That's understandable, but their website is still unwieldy and greatly in need of an update. But, that's on them. If they are making money from magazine subscriptions then they probably don't care about how good their website is. Hopefully they keep making money, but i can't believe that magazines will be around that much longer...
 
But back to the original topic... I have never owned a HiPoint yet. If I ever see a new one for close to 100 bucks I'm going to pick it up. I really don't know why, but I feel like everyone needs a 100 dollar gun laying around.
 
I've driven through the city of Hipoint a couple of times. Is there a factory to tour? Or an official hipoint factory gun store where you can buy directly from the source?

You will get all the haters saying " Would you trust your life with it" and the answer is you damn skippy. They are not as refined as other sidearms but they will go bang. You don't see any Hi Point recalls.

One thing for for dang sure:
It’s a whole helluva lot better than nothing.
If a person was in dire need of a gun, I don’t see anybody turning one down!

Agreed.

I had a C9. Was it the greatest thing ever... Nope, but it was better than nothing. I think I paid maybe 125 for mine after everything was said and done

I've seen enough videos of limp wristed fuckers having issues with them to know to steer clear of that sort of weapon. I'd still rather claim I was raped to death at a gay bar than to have anyone admit I was shot with one.

to each his own....

if you want to give people fits.... show up to a shooting competition such as an IDPA match and whip out your hipoint... :D
 
I think they're ugly as sin on Sunday and about as refined as a peeing for distance competition, but there's no denying that they work as intended.

I don't want one, and I don't need one, but I'm glad they exist for the folks who need a gun and can't afford anything better. Much better to have a hi point than a jennings, loricin, raven, etc.

SO,
you can write "I'd rather my friends thought I was raped to death in a gay bar than admit to being shot with one,"
you just cant post a meme saying the exact same thing?

Is there a rule against that kind of meme here? I don't have a meme like this, but I'm sure you could generate one quick

Yea, that guy ain't none too bright.


One idea we've been floating around is asking a match director to put it in a stage. Everyone starts with their pistol loaded/holstered and the hi-point can be a table start, sorta a "combat pickup". You start the stage by grabbing the C9 and firing 3 rounds at a target that's 3 or less yards away, then set it back down and finish the stage with your pistol. If the C9 malfunctions you can just give up on it and move on. That way everyone who's in the match that day can say they've fired a hi point and have first hand experience with them. Puts some knowledge behind the belief.

Oh, this thread is about Hi Points...

I'm gonna order a Hi Point 1095 Edge 10mm Carbine after the New Year. ;)

Hi Points seem to me to be the modern take on the Liberator pistol. Maybe they should be parachuted behind enemy lines or something.

I think if someone can afford a $125 handgun, they can save some more and get a $350 pistola but that's just me. Fuquay Gun and Gold has a display case full of new Ruger Mk III 5" bull barrel .22s for a little over $300. A .22 might actually encourage some practicing and familiarization with the whole handgun concept.
 
Well, now I don't want one anymore. I thought I'd be supporting local business by buying one. Oh well....
 
I have seen the .380's and 9mm jam reguarly in there line up but the 40's and 45's work great run like sewing machines.
