RE: Hi Point handguns
depends how desperate you are for handgun, Before I shelled out 130 bucks for a hi point I think I would buy either a BRNO CZ52 chambered for .30 Tokarev, 9mm conversions available or a Makarov chambered for 9x18, .380 conversions available. either of those are sold or can be ordered by most gun dealers for less then 130 bucks. good luck

RE: Hi Point handguns
ORIGINAL: Pro-Line I'd venture to say that most blasting the Hi-Points have never handled one. I teach the owner's son in school right now, and have owned a couple of them. I've never had a failure or jam. They are heavy. They are ugly. They are well put-together. They are a little bulky. If you want a gun for conceal/carry, it's not your gun. If you want a gun for plinking or home defense....I wouldn't steer you away. I've never personally seen a failure, and I've been around them a lot. Like I said...I doubt most have shot one...and they're the Hyundai of handguns, not the Cadillac. you forgot to add to your list, they make a great paper weight and make a pretty good trotline anchor. Asfar as reliability they feed and fucntion great, just accuracy is a different story. My brother had one in 9mm, at 7 yards the accuracy was ok, after dumping out one full magazine the group was similar to a 00 buck shot pattern at 10 yards, at 15 yards you'd have better accuracy throwing rocks. |
RE: Hi Point handguns
Once again....another "somebody else had one, and it stunk"
My experiences are personal. I also know that they aren't Glocks....I understand that. I just don't feel unsafe having one as a home defense weapon. Just me, I guess. |
RE: Hi Point handguns
At least we don't hear weekly stories of Hipoints blowing up like we do with .40 Glocks[8D]

RE: Hi Point handguns
I dunno much about handguns, I only have one for home defense. Its a S&W .38.
But my brother has an older .22 highpoint auto with a heavy barrel. That thing is awsome ! it shoots like a .22 long gun, it's that accurate. I like it. |

RE: Hi Point handguns
You're right, Frizz...Hi-Point didn't make any rimfires.
