I don't........Originally Posted by agrippakc
Hi point carbine I have talked trash about hi point pistols and carbines. They looked like garbage and I figured for the price they had to suck. Well I recently recieved a combo pistol/carbine and went and shot them today. After some tweaking of the fully adjustable sights I have come to the conclusion that everyone should give them another look. Deadly accurate and reliable. I take back every bad thing I have said about them.

I don't........
“The fundamental force behind the Second Amendment is to empower the people and give them the greatest measure of authority over the tyranny of runaway government.” U.S. Rep. Bob Schaffer, 2002
Good idea from a company with excellent customer service, horribly executed. Never again.
Every hipoint I have handled/used has performed just as well as every other brand, including S&W, Remington, Ruger, Kimber, Glock, etc.... Just because they are ugly (in fact, I dont think they could be ANY uglier than they already are, they must have taken years to perfect the ugliness) and quite heavy, they WORK... Isnt that what, when you get down to the very reason for the existence of a firearm, what you want it to do?
Leave me alone... and I will leave you alone....
Don't poke a wolverine with a sharp stick unless you want your balls ripped off.
Don't start nuthin, wont be nuthin.....
No thank you.

I wouldn't carry my Hi-point 9mm, but I wouldn't sell it either. It works... every time, and it's about indestructible. Great car gun, and a good example to students of a gun they probably don't want to carry.
I've used the Hi-point 9mm carbine, and it's a sweet shooter. I'd get one... but I need another rifle like I need another hole in my head. :) And I like pistols better anyway.
Don't like them? No problem... don't buy one.

Hi-Point weapons are improving in quality quite a bit. Would it be my carry peice, no. Would I use their pistols as vehicle weapons, yes. Would I use their carbines as plinkers and BoB guns, sure.
They wouldn't be my first choice, but I'd sure as hell feel better with one than have nothing.
For those who fight for it, life has a flavor the protected will never know.
I have the 9mm carbine and it goes bang when I pull the trigger, and also hits what I aim it at if I do my part. It even shot some pretty crappy looking ammo I wouldn't want to cycle in my handguns.
When I first got the urge to get an AR, I found them to be too expensive at the time. So instead for my 1st. long gun I purchased the 9mm Carbine. Was the best thing I could have done. I got plenty of training time on it, & it prepared me for the eventual puchase of an AR.
Ammo is cheap, & it does go "BANG" every time.
I recently sold it on Armslist for what I paid for it, & I still get inquiries.
I too wish they would improve the looks of their guns, but as far as performance & price, they can't be beat.
My brother has the 45 ACP "Boat Anchor", & it is BUTT UGLY. Being so heavy, it shoots as well as any 1911 I've shot.
So while Hi-Point is not a prestige gun, I would recommend it if you have a tight budget.
After all, any gun is better than no gun !
