HP Bullpup

[A.J. Holst]

After a recent carbine class, I realized at 25 yards plus, the iron sights on my M1 carbine were no longer the best choice.

Got my first pair of progressives on the way, so every extra edge I can use, I'm in.

Maybe it's time to spend a little and get a decent set up my 9mm PCC.

I keep adding dollars to this $175 original investment because it has never failed , as a bullpup it's handy and it made it through two classes with a BSA dot with no issues (other than, "AJ, is that really a HiPoint?" or op error from a properly seated mag)

Sighted in with that budget dot, I can hit 1/3 steel silhouettes at 25 yards very consistently. I'll have to let you know at 50 since now I should be able to see the target

Downside is weight (a little over 8# unloaded) and arguably the 10 or 20 round capacity. Since this thing always goes bang, I can't justify a justify a replacement simply for more mag capacity.

Longevity is a question mark, I have thousands through it by now, got it in 2008.

Once I get it sighted in, drop the bipod and re-affix the fore grip, I'm looking forward to shootin' it (sparingly in current environment)

Haha i love the budget build.  Im still trying to wrap my head around all these $1500-2500 PCC's that have more weight, recoil, and less power than their SBR/Pistol Braced AR's/AK's

Since yours is very budget friendly i would have no qualms in you shelling out a bit more on a good optic.  (you can always swap that to something else later)
