High points are cr*p!!!

[Shenaniguns]

Guys, if you don't have a sense of humor than avoid buying a high-point since you may get snickered at when shooting around other people

Hey, some of us (not me!) are only "authorized" to buy one gun every blue moon. Why waste it on a Hi-Point when you can get a Hi-Power? (OK, forget the price point). My buddy was allowed ONE gun. So he chose the Springfield 1911 TRP. A fine choice. My wife, on the other hand, doesn't even know how many guns I have. "You have a shotgun, right?" Uh, sure honey, I'll show it to you in ten days, oh, we ran out of milk, I'll just pop over to the store ...

Not sure why everyone turned this into a Hi-Point vs. Blah blah blah match. I don't have a Hi-point, but I wouldn't mind having one. I have Glocks, Springfield's, Rugers, Sig's., and the like, but why not a Hi-Point? Seems to me like a decent gun. Maybe not for self defense, but for plinking around keeping the wear off your expensive hardware. I think I might just buy one for that reason. If its junk, then who cares, it was $150. Less than the cost of 200 rounds of 9mm.

I say if you like it, go for it. I wonder if it's very lower price actually hurts its reputation? If it was $450 would it be different in some peoples minds?

When I nearly got jacked by 6 punks in a parking lot, all my $2K+ guns were locked up in a safe while my hi-point C9 was loaded and ready for used in my trunk. Now which one do you think I was more glad I owned during that incident? a gun in the hand is worth 20+ in the safe!
Ever since then I have bought a Hi-point for each of my cars.


BTW: I did have some miss feeds during my first 500 rounds in my hipoint but it turned out I was slow racking the slide and didnt let it do its job properly. Ever since then it has worked flawlessly for me. Sure I can't put the same bullet thru the same hole at 25 yards with my but I'll put all 10 rounds into a human torso in quick succession at that distance easy!

Where are you buying ammo? And it's very low price because it is a low quality handgun, even the manufacturer knows this lol.

For $150, I wouldn't say that it is a very low quality handgun. If it was worth $500-600 like most modern pistols are, then yeah, I'd call it a very low quality handgun at that price. But like someone mentioned before, it's a price point gun. It caters to certain people, it's attractive to some because of the price.

I agree. High price does not equal whether or not it will function the way it should. I believe it to be and A to B gun. Sort of like an A to B car - meaning a Toyota Corolla will get you from A to B, but it isn't as nice as going from A to B in a luxury car like a Mercedes. I personally won't own one, but it's not because I think it won't do the job. To each his own, some people are more price sensitive. For me, I just think the cost of the gun is considered to be small against of the TCO, but Hi point owners probably won't put 10K rounds through it.

if you look at it as a range toy it is good value

kind of like ramline magazines they arent pretty they may have problems you wouldnt bet your life on them but when you are just plinking they get the job done

Hi-point awesomeness?

I did a google search and didn't see this posted on CGN. Hope it isn't a dupe.

I subscribe to this guys Youtube and found these videos funny.
This guy is pretty intelligent and knowledgeable but prefers to come off as a redneck!

Anyway, I wouldn't buy a Hi-point personally, nor would I advocate buying one...but check out the videos. Skip to the last one if you just wanna see a HI-point destroyed.

Dislike.
