whats the life expectancy / service life of a HI POINT pistol?

[Roering]

The life expectancy is until you save up enough to buy your next pistol.

There is a you tube channel, Demolition Ranch I think. He did a test on a HI point, to the point he shot the slide...... it kept on ticking once he got it "sliding" again...... Kind of funny, but also kind of telling.

Demolition ranch tried to kill a hi point 40 and couldn't do it. Even shot it directly in the slide and the sucker kept on firing. They are ugly and cheap, but they work

Demo ranch shot at it and hit the barrel. Look up garand thumb on youtube, he tossed it at a rock, and landed on the slide, then shot it twice and the slide broke in half.

Do the same tests on a $500-1000 pistol, see which fares better through it. Hi Point will come out a winner, and you won't be able to get those $500+ pistols repaired through any warranty if any.

I once was very tempted to buy one due to how inexpensive it was. Never have to clean it. If it breaks, oh well . But then, I thought about it a little more. Those things are big and clunky. They would look great on..............aliens.

I also thought of buying a HP just for fun because of the price, but I rather use the money towards a better gun

after tax & DROS a Hi Point would still cost over $200 , I rather save $200 on a new Glock , SIG , HK or something

instead of buying a HP , just think of it as a $220 discount on a better gun

They seem pretty tough even if they are ugly

So many haters. Most of them have never owned one. It's a good basic gun. Don't ask much more of it. If all you can afford is a high point, you're going to be okay.

For ever and ever, look at the demolition ranch YouTube channel he tried to kill 9 of them and was unsuccessful he even says at the end of the video how am I going to come home and explain to my wife about buying 10 hi points trying to kill them by stuffing the barrels with misc materials and tell her all of them survived

Walther p22ca lasted under 500rnd before slide cracked replacement slide lasted about 800rnds

Phoenix Arms hp22 lasted between 8-9krnds (worth every penny cant wait to buy another1)

Chiappa M422 upper lasted under 2k rounds

Life expectancy is a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooog time under shelter in place with gun shops and ranges closed.

Clean, oil, and try to forget it until the emergency orders are lifted.

[morrcarr67]

If something goes wrong does the buyer pay for shipping both ways or do they give you a prepaid shipping label? shipping a firearm can get expensive for a low value gun like the HP

$39 is too much?

My fear is, it would last, right UP until I NEEDED it!

Every manufacturer makes lemons, but that does not represent what the average user gets out of a gun. And when we buy inexpensive throwaways that also needs to be factored in.
