    Sounds like a good deal. Which design/year is it? They changed the design considerably a couple of years ago. Either way, they have a lifetime warranty and if anything goes bad, their customer service is excellent in fixing them. I have the 995 (9mm) and I love mine.

    Here's the new design:

    Here's the old:

    My BIL bought one of the older design models and he is pleased with it as well, but I like the newer design myself.

    I've read nothing but good reviews about Hi-Point Carbines and customer service....

    I'd buy it in a heartbeat... if there was something wrong, word on the street is that Hi-Point will ALWAYS fix it or make it right.

    I don't own one, but have shot a few. I really liked it and I've NEVER heard anything bad about them. Plus, you can't beat High Point's customer service! Sounds like a good buy!

    Ditto, if you don't like it you could easily sell it. I've owned a few of the 9ers and own a 40 now. The 9s were always flawless with any ammo.

    Buy it, throw a $30 dollar red dot on it and call it a day. Mine has been awesome and has fed anything I put through it. And I think there are 15 round magazines out now if you want more capacity over the stock 10

    I'd take a chance on it for a C-note. Like other posters have said. Hi-Point has excellent CS and if there is anything wrong with it just contact them and they'll fix you up even if the carbine needs a total rebuild.

    Fun toy for $100! 2 liter pop bottle accurate out to 100 yards and like others have said eats everything. Never had a problem shooting cast & plated handloads, steel cased and cheap WWB from Walmart.
