i own the whole line from 380 to 9 carbine and i love this line they r fun and cheap after first 500 the fire like a dream top gun for little price a firearm that everyone should own
i have a hi-point .380 calibre, with well over 500 rounds through it....no jams, misfires, or problems whatsoever.....the fit and finish leave something to be desired, but the functionality is flawless....great buy for the money
Y’ know what?
I’m tired of all you gun snobs out there…
I have a 995 that I have fired a thousand rounds through and have never cleaned it, not even wiped it down. I have used the cheapest broke-dick ammo and have done my best to make it fail. I throw it under the seat in my pickup without a second thought.
It shoots straight, every time. No failures.
It’s freaking deadly at 50 yards. It can put 5 in 5 at 50 with iron sights. That’s called ‘Home Defense”.
Stick your high-dollar weapon behind the back door, hey, or stuff it and shut the fuck up…
screw you idiots who knock a decent working handgun just because you paid four to eight times more for your piece that will cost you even more when something goes wrong with it. The only Hi-point you probably will ever experience is when you get HIGH and POINT it at someone.
if u must even think high point is even close to be a decent handgun..lol...lets just say,, ur fishing at the bottm of the pile save ur money buy, do some homework and spend it wisly... P.S. pawn the high point
I do own one and all i can say is you get what you pay for. But i will say it shot better then a ruger p 94 9mm i had. get it had. i use mine when i go out fishing, for snakes and such. i feel if it goes in the drink i'm only out like one hundo. bucks ha ha
You say that high points are crap, but you never elaborate.
I have been considering buying one, it seems like there would be little to lose. So far I havent actually seen one (I will have to drive 50 mi to see one), maybe when I hold one I will understand.
But there seem to be more owners raving about them than those that don't like em and no real reason given for the bad reviews.
The worst anyone has said (in online reviews) is they are ugly and clunky, well so are the Glocks in my opinion and everyone seems to be gaga over Glocks.
I own one for plinking. Thats it. I have 200 rounds through it and only a couple of clips without a jam of some kind. Not a gas reload straight recoil
It is back to the factory for a rework to try and get it to shoot consistantly. Maybe I just got a bad one but......
.357 revolver 180 grain JHPs for home defense. NEVER a miss fire.
i agree that glock are ugly. but they are reliable. Hi-Points are not.
If you hold a glock and a Hi-Point next to each other, you will feel a significant difference before shooting them. Then if you do shoot one, next to another decent gun, you will notice a significant difference again. My friend had a .40 Hi-Point (which I shot), and it wouldn't even feed any type of hollow point. So he had to rely on ball fmj ammo for defense. It also jammed a lot. The frame eventually cracked. (you won't see that on glock)
If someone has not shot many weapons before... or is not very experienced with handguns, they may shoot a Hi-Point and like it. It will "Go Bang". But if you are familiar with other weapons... then you have something to compare it to.
It all comes down to personal preference. If you hold, and shoot a Hi-Point and like it, then get one. Like someone said above, they are only $100, and you get what you pay for.
Personally, if my life... or my families lives are on the line, I would rather not be holding a Hi-Point. I would rather wait till I could afford something decent. Even Handguns in the $300 range (such as S&W sigma, or some rugers) are quite a bit more reliable. Even though I don't prefer these either, IN MY OPINION, they are much better choices than a Hi-Point.
Best case... save up and buy a brand that has built a reputation for durability (Glock, M&P, XD, HK, Sig). after all, you want to be able to put thousands of rounds through a weapon without failure or signifacant wear.
If you are a Hi-Point jockey... no need to get all heated at me. This is just my opinion, but it is justified by personal experience, and experience of others around me who know firearms.
"Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is a muzzle flash."
you hit it on the money, there's a reason the hi point is so cheap. buying a firearm on price alone is never a good reason. we all have the internet so do a little shopping first. you may be in the seat that needs an affordable handgun, it may be the perfect gun for you.
I just thought I might be able to get more bang for the buck, so to speak. And a lifetime warenty is hard to beat (good only as long as the company lasts!). I have been going only on web research so far so I appreciate the good advice. I do own a Sig p232 for several years and have never been sorry (If I had it to do over though I would go with a 9mm)
if your comfortable with your weapon odds are your proficent with it, thats half the battle. i've shot a hi-point, when i pulled the trigger, a bullet was fired. some people, thats all they need.
just wondering how this video is so popular. everytime I look at recently viewed videos, this one has just been played. anyone know what the obsession is?
"Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is a muzzle flash."
all newbies start looking for something cheap! So they look at Hi-Point. but after a day on this sight, it probably really educates them.

I've have seen people walk in our gun shop/shooting center looking to trade them in. We wouldn't even consider. They are great for the fish tank. I've seen them malfunction on the range. You get what you pay for. Some of them might be good. A few good apples of the bunch. However as for the carbines in 9mm find a ruger pc-9, can't get any better than that. Even more studier than the ar-types.I owned one in a forty. Should have keept it.
even guys on the street that hold their guns side ways and walk and in the store with there clip asking me what caliber there guns shoots (idiots) tell me that hi points are crap
ive never fired a hi point, so i cant really say either way. but ive fired cheap 9 mm i believe it was a stevens? wich jammed alot i had a ruger that fired just fine now i own a taurus 9mm pro wich i like alot
i have yet for my high point to stop firing or jam and i havent cleaned it since i bought it i just srpay oil in it when i want to shoot it its got about 500 rounds though it so far i let you know when it blows up
by hearing everybody opinion on hi-points this is a love it or hate it gun i own several hi-points that shoots good the only problem i had was takin it apart for cleaning to many 0pen loose parts that you couid lose easily
their 2 reasons hi-points are cheaper than other other guns by being a blowback their way cheaper to make than other guns and throw in a polymer frame that is also cheaper than a metal,alloy frame and another reason its slide is a inexpensive zinc alloy compare to a steel slide, they use cheap but durable materials to make their guns and thats why their cheap and ugly but their still pretty good
i made several good comments about hi-points i go to the shooting range a lot and shoot lots of rounds for fun this is the reason i got my hi-points for their warranty covers wear and tear ,my other more expensive guns i own have limited warranties and don,t cover wear and tear and when you shoot a lot like me i don,t want to wear out my smithwesson glocks and berettas their better than hi-points but to expensive to abuse and don,t have the warranty of hi-points
THAT'S WHY IM LEANING TOWARDS GETTING A TAURUS 24-7 .45. GOOD DURABLE GUN , NOT TO EXOENSIVE AND A LIFE TIME WARRENTY.I'VE GOT A STOEGER COUGER 9 MM. AND WILL PICK UP A WALTHER P22 THIS WEEK. FOR FUN, AND TO TEACH MY WIFE HOW TO SHOOT.
P22 to teach beginners from 10 years old and up. They all love it and want to take it home with them. It is one great little pistol.

I've own a 40&45 poly frame hi-point. Never once had a problem. (feels like a ruger p345 2 me) That being said, they are not the ideal gun 4 me to carry only because of size. If they had a compact version, I would because of the fact it is so cheap if it gets stolen or beat all to hell..........it's no big deal (pocket change pistol)!
yes that video was stupid. But for all you keyboard cowboys out there that bad mouth hi points when you never even shot one are the same people that spend 1000 dollars on a gun because someone told them to, then shit there pants when they have to use it and end up missing anyway after firing off 5 or 6 rounds. Any gun can kill, any gun can jam, and gun can and will malfunction. it's the person holding it that matters.
Confucious say: Go to bed itchy asshole, wake up stinky pinky
read the reviews. I haven't heard to much good about them. For few hundred more you can get a Glock and know it is gonna work.

The Glock is the fastest most effective defensive weapon you can carry. Read the reviews on them. When I have to pull it, I don't have to fumble with a safety. It is nearly indestructible. Trust me on this one...

I'd trust my life to throwing a dull brick faster than i'd trust my life to shooting a glock...but thats just my opinion lol.
Another opinion of mine, always stick with the weapon you are most familiar with or prefer over others, so glock lovers use glocks and H&K lovers use H&K's ;)
Sorry my young friend only experience will cure your young mind. I will go with my Glock19 holstered at 10 yards, give you a 1 second head start with your brick and I will throw in a baseball bat. I guarantee you would be dead within 3 steps with 2 well placed center mass cavity shots and 1 cranial hole in your head. But that is just my opinion. Youth and exuberance is no match for old age and treachery. You will learn. Glocks are #1 for a reason. I have a license to carry one and do shoot alot.

That was the whole video? What a waste of time...give me back those 66 seconds, NOW!!!

the ammo in the video probably cost more that the piece.
well... if it doesn't shoot, you could always throw it at someone, or use it as a paper weight.
