RE: Hi Point Firearms....are they any good
I've had the 9mm hi-point for abour 3 years and haven't had any problems at all. It has never jammed or failed in any way. I've used any type of 9mm round i could get the cheapest and it still operates smoothly.
If you want a hunting or protection gun this might not be the best choice but if your looking for something you can use to target shoot it would be worth the money.

They are terrific guns if all you need it for is to knock over a liquor store, as a prop in a rap video, or to "smoke sum fool".
Not a bad carry gun for the street corner either....slim lines make it easy to carry in addition to a dozen small bags of crack or 8-balls of coke.

I read an article in the last Guns Magazine abouta gun made by Hi-Point. The gun was the C9 9MM and the article talkedabout for the money it was a descent handgun. It is listed on gun broker from $125 - $160, I am a firm believer that you generally get what you pay for, but is this an exception to the rule.
Im just curious if anyone has had any experience with them?
Thanks

I will GUARANTEE you one thing for sure.
You are not going to find anyone who has to absolutely rely on their sidearm to be carrying a Hi-Point!
i.e. copper
Could you imagine how badly he would be laughed at by his fellow officers?

RE: Hi Point Firearms....are they any good
I checked them out today at the gun show and I wasnt that impressed.
I will save my money for a 1911
Although a friend of mine did buy a Uberti 45colt revolver. that gun is awesome and im sure it is a blast to shoot.

Let me say I don't own one but I have heard about them and they are total p.o.s.'s. I would save your money and buy a Kimber 1911 and a Baretta carbine you'll only spend about $2,000. bllaaaahhhh blaaahhh.
I have the hi point9mm handgun and the carbine they are 100% reliable so far and the carbine has been used like a street walker. I have bought some nice guns and like the hi points cheap ones. I am no happier when I go shoot my weatherby I saved so long for or my savage or hi points.

RE: Hi Point Firearms....are they any good
I've owned 2. They are made very close to where I live.
I've never had a problem. Probabaly 2,000 rounds total through them. That said, if my life depended on the gun, I wouldn't be carrying it.
When you can buy a 9mm for $85, I don't think that the manufacturers meant for them to be compared to a $2,000 weapon. I like mine for plinking and such. That's all I had in mind when I purchased them. I'm not seeing the point behind comparing them to a gun worth 25X more.
Yugo vs. Lexus.
