I had a HiPoint in 9mm that I sold to my cousin. And more recently I purchased a Chiappa M-1 carbine in 9mm (uses Beretta mags) that is a ton of fun to shoot. I have other pistol caliber rifles. One is a Marlin 1894 in .357 mag.and the other is a Rossi in .44 mag (I forget the model but it looks like a Win '92).
I believe Hardcast just wants to put something on this forum that seems to be slowing down a lot. And he does seem to heavily weigh down his post with pics. But that's ok as long as the moderators don't care.
