RE: Hi Point handguns
Im still waiting for the parts, but in the mean time im planning my layout and everything to cover in my range report. Just looking to maybe get some of your guys opinions and input on what you want to know and what i should cover in my range report. starting with how far do you guys think i should shoot for the accuracy portion of my report, 7 yards, 15 yards, or 25 yards??? I initially was gonna do 25 yards but im having my doubts about it and would like to hear what you guys would think is a reasonable range for accuracy for this particular gun in 9mm.

RE: Hi Point handguns
HD...With my Hi-Points that I've owned...I've found their sights to be the biggest problem. They're bulky and hard to focus on a small object with.
I also found that my 9mm hated the ammo that I first bought for it. (It was the cheap bulk Luger stuff) I switched to the Wolf and it shot much better.
I found that 25yds was the limit for myself and my gun. It didn't shoot like my Smith, but I'd hate to be on the receiving end at that distance.
Others spoke of tumbling, I have never experienced that. Maybe you can shed some light on that.
Thanks.

RE: Hi Point handguns
LOL even with these lower line guns I highly doubt the bullets will be tumbling at 25 yards lol I guess we will see when i do my range report. Ive heard the same thing about snub nose revolvers and tumbling after 50 feet well 25 yards is 75 feet and I have shot several snub nose 38 revolvers with the short 2 inch barrels I have yet to see any key holes in a target at 25 yards maybe bad groups but never any key holeing.

I think that for the price (99 bucks here) they would probably be worth checking out. Especially if it was a first handgun or for an inexpereinced shooter. I'm sure most of the pistols out there can outshoot a new shooter.

One thing about it, A new shooter can always blame the gun for poor accuracy.99.00 or 29.00 I don't think I would buy a High Point.To many better choices besides the HP's
