Hi Point gun snob!

[Delmar]

Hi I'm Delmar I am a Hi Point owner and a gun snob! I am down right snooty about the fact that I paid less for my entire arsenal, than some people pay for one handgun! So there

 

[Que]

Cool! There's nothing wrong with that.

 

[Jubba]

I agree with you. I have had more malfunctions out of my Glock (2) than from my Hi Point (0).

 

[sgreen3]

I like my HP cabine

 

[pirate]

Other than Hi-Points being one of the fugliest firearms ever made, I can't fault them on anything else. (Well maybe aftermarket mags) Both my pistol and carbine have always been reliable with any ammo I pump through them. They aren't terribly inaccurate either for their price. Keep the HP snob train alive!

Got a 995 9mm carbine for the cheap,fun factor. 500rd and not one issue.
No buyers remorse here at all

It all depends what you can afford and what you prefer. I own a Hi Point 9mm carbine myself. But I would be willing to bet if someone offered you a real nice Glock in trade for your Hi-Point you would take it.

I love my C9, had it ten years and never a problem, it even went through a house fire protected only by it's cardboard box, burned the box off of the pistol but the thing keeps on tickin'. I tell everybody that I love my hi point and prefer it to my Ruger .375mag wheel gun

Glad to hear positive feedback on HP. Been thinking about one or two for BOB/trunk guns.

 

[ShootinDave]

Are you offering a trade?
Just kidding. I already have a Glock, and the HP is just a fun gun (that works every time)

Bored Delmar? Haven't we been around this block before?

As I've said before, Hi-Point pistols are just one small cosmetic change from being acceptable. . . .

I never shot one or even held one in my hands so I cant talk about how reliable they are or how good they shoot.
All I can say is that I dont like the look of the gun and for that reason only I wouldn't buy it.
It's not because of the price that I think they are ugly, there are other guns that I dont find attractive who are $800 and up.
Also from what I can see they are really thick and heavy.
I wonder how many people actually carry them or maybe it's just not meant to be a carry gun.
Anyway if one day I meet a Hi-Point owner at the range I would be more than happy to try it and hear what the owner has to say about it.
We should all try to keep an open mind especially when like myself you never shot or held the gun.

Extremely ugly guns... almost as ugly as a Glock. That being said, I loved my 9mm compensated. Bought it when I was 18 (well actually dad bought it) and had it for 7 years without a single malfunction. It even ate up the Brown Bear unlike my cousins G19.

Like esrice said, a little cosmetic makeover and easier takedown assembly and I'm sure they would be liked much more.

The slide was made slimmer, that's the only change made on that picture?

I agree it looks a bit better like that, kinda looks like a Beretta 92.
I still wouldn't call this a sexy gun but that's a start.

Come on Hi-Point could just copy other designs, everybody does it in the gun industry

And the grip was relocated further to the rear.

Here is what a Glock would look like if Hi-Point designed it:

The fact that it is so heavy can be a good thing. Once mag is depleted...Promptly take a baseball stance and knock someone out with a hi-point fastball.

They are great guns for the price no complaints from me.

I own two and have yet to have a malfunction of any kind out of either of them. They may be ugly, but they sure do work.
