Weren't they called Stallards before Hy-Point.....and they were another name before they were called Stallards? Or am I just dreaming?

Hi-Point Firearms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi-Point Firearms, also known as Beemiller (Distributed by MKS Supply), is a firearms manufacturer based in Mansfield, Ohio. However only the CF.380, C9 9 mm, & the carbines are made in Mansfield. They manufacture low-cost pistols and carbines, in the following calibers:

Either way, I'd shy away from them. There are a few hi-point diehards here, but I would not rely on one for my safety.

I own a Hi-point carbine 9mm and it's a fun plinker gun. It jams every other magazine, but it shoots. I would not rely on it for self defense.

I have a hipoint C9 and it is fun too shoot. I would rely on my Glock first though

From the Blue Book of Gun Values:

HI-POINT FIREARMS
Current trademark marketed by MKS Supply, Inc. located in Dayton, Ohio. Hi-Point firearms have been manufactured since 1988. Dealer and distributor sales.

Prior to 1993, trademarks sold by MKS Supply, Inc. (including Beemiller, Haskell Manufacturing, Inc., Iberia Firearms, Inc., and Stallard Arms, Inc.) had their own separate manufacturers' markings.

Beginning in 1993, Hi-Point Firearms eliminated these individualized markings and chose instead to have currently manufactured guns labeled "Hi-Point Firearms". All injection molding for Hi-Point Firearms is done in Mansfield, OH.

There are a few hi-point diehards here, but I would not rely on one for my safety.

I wouldn't rely on the Hi-Point diehards here for my safety, either!

That is your most likely the mags and probably not the carbine, especially if you are using promags.
My carbine has NEVER had a FTF or FTE
Very reliable and would use to protect my life with.

I wouldn't either....I guess it is better than nothing....if that's all you have.
Seems like the Edsell of the handgun world, and some day there might be a big collector following HA HA HA HA . Thanks for the info guys.

What do yo have, I might be interested in your paper weights?

 

[tatters]

Are you guys nuts.... You're gonna get the wrath of us die hards... LOL

Just kidding... I like my Hi Points, I would trust my life with mine as they have proven themself. That's just me. On the other hand, I do like my M&P 9c better for no other reason than the fact that it just shoots better.

Anyone have experience with their .45's , or know of dealers in Indy that carry them ?

I know they can order them but I wanted to get the skinny and see one first .

Bradis Guns in Camby (far SW side of Indy) usually has them in-stock. As of last weekend, though, all they had were the 9mm pistols and carbines.

Disclaimer: I work there part-time.

Hi Point carbines may have their fans, but I never could learn to like their pistols, even a little bit. I used to supervise our Crime Scene unit, and part of our responsibilities was the test-firing of any handgun in our property room for IBIS purposes. Without exception, every Hi Point pistol I handled and fired was heavy, had lousy sights, and a trigger so stiff that I couldn't imagine trusting your life to it. I'll grant that the awful triggers could be attributed to the poor care that gang-bangers and other goblins provide to their weapons, but the triggers seemed to be consistently bad across the board.

Although I would never buy anything from him (but that's just me personally), I'm pretty sure that Don's carries Hi-Points.

Had a carbine about five years ago. Shot alright for awhile then after every 50 rounds or so it would no longer shoot and have to be stripped down and I would have to bend the firing pin back to being straight. Finally got sick of this "maintenance" and sold it. Good thing when it did bend it would get stuck inside the bolt and not protrude and get stuck out. Otherwise it might have behaved like an open bolt full auto (fixed firing pin powered by the bolt spring). That would have made for quite a surprise.

Thanks for the info but I'm with you on Don's , I don't give him any money period .

My first handgun was a hi point 9 mm. It jammed about 2 times per mag using target ammo until i found some really mild ultramax factory reloaded ammo. Then only about once per mag It gave me a bad impression of all semi autos and made me a revolver fan.

CS1 must be on vacation or dead....... I can hear his Hi-Point pager going off from here!!!!

I want a carbine but not until ATI makes a stock for the 40..

 

[JNG]

I had a Hi-Point carbine about ten years ago. The trigger had roughly the feel and fit quality of a cheap squirt gun. I could also flex the stock a few inches with my bare hands . . . .

I love my 995 - it's foolproof. Never had any trouble with it.
