Ok,I was thinking of getting this hand gun because it's cheap,$150 otd,it's American made,and it has a lifetime warranty. I know that I'm opening myself up to a lot of crap here but I promise I won't get in an argument about this because I'm sure I'm gonna get a TON of posts about how I should spend more money for something better... I just wanna know what the gun nuts here think of this brand,etc. BTW it's brand new from a dealer with an extra clip and a holster (nylon cheapo). Alright fire away!

www.gunbroker.com to look for deals on used and new guns. Also travel to gun shops and see if they have any deals. That handgun right there is garbage. Post up again if you have any questions. Remember if you going to take this step in self defense for yourself you want to make damn sure its going to fire every single time.

Hi-points are not the worst gun you can buy. I would do some test firing with different types of ammo to see if there are any feed problems with particular brands and bullet types in particular (some soft nose or hollow points cause jams in some cheaper guns). Make sure you keep a known brand and bullet in the gun for self defense situations any time you're not target shooting.
I do know a few people that have hi-points and have no problems with them so I won't warn you off. You know its not the best so just don't expect more from it and you're good to go! ![]() |

Exactly. Since you know it "might" have a dependability issue at some point, it's still better than a rock in a bad situation. If it jams...you've already got a rock in your hand and don't have to look for one

Yeah,I haven't shot anyone in my house since I was 16....or otherwise for over 15 years... Hey I found this deal on that site....it's only $1800... seriously,thanks for the info,for the price,I don't think I can go wrong. Heck,the dealer even does repairs and handles any warranty issues himself so I don't even have to deal with Hi point myself. |
