HiPoint Carbine

[Guest Broomhead]

Mine is a piece of crap, every round is FTE and FTF, had it two years and paid $100. I refuse to replace anything in it LMAO

If its that bad I'll take it off your hands for 50 bucks.

Those failures are most likely mag related. Tighten the feed lips.

I'd be happy to take it off your hands, if you don't want it. Don't have a $100 but we could work a trade out.

My wife and I have put more rounds through her HP995 than I'd care to think about. Probably well over 6k. About a year ago (after about 5k rounds) I started having problems with FTE about every third round. I fussed and complained about it - oblivious to their lifetime warrantee - until someone at Charlie's in Spring Hill suggested I call HiPoint. They basically completely rebuilt the rifle for the cost of shipping it to them (about $14) - everything but the barrel is brand new and they even put a new coat of paint on that. The problem was actually the extractor but they gave it a total overhaul when they saw how much use it saw.

They sent me 2 free mags for my "trouble" and made a loyal customer for life with their fast, friendly service. The tech who actually did the work called me the day I got it back to tell me all the changes they'd made and ask me what I thought of the new look (they'd upgraded it to the TS stock and painted the shroud). He talked to me for the better part of 45 minutes about what I use it for, ammo suggestions to improve accurracy at the range and asked me about what HD rounds I've run through it. All he asked in return for his time was pictures of the gun being used.

Over 500 trouble free rounds of Winchester ammo - 200 of those JHP - later it has again taken its place on my wife's side of the bed as her "bump in the night" gun when I'm not home. If you're having trouble with it, send it to them and they'll fix it. Or sell it to Broomhead for $50 and let him do it! You can send them your magazines if you think that's the problem and they'll replace those, too.

If you're thinking about getting one - do it! They've got a .45 now that I'm thinking I might pick up for a Get Home Kit in my car so I only have to keep one caliber in the glove box for both my carry gun and my car gun. But the 9mm sure is fun for a range toy!

Great gun, great company and great price.

Have I said enough good things about it yet? Haha!
