Said I'd never own one, ever!

[rugerla1]

That's a pretty one  :rofl:  Just don't drop it on your toe.

I'll wear steel toes when I bring it to the range haha

For some reason, Hi-Point's remind me of the water pistols I had as a kid.  But, if they put rounds on target, have at it.

[nightrunner]

Strangely it reminds me of a dewalt cordless drill that someone spray painted black. And the magazine baseplate is the battery pack.

[DWARREN123]

All I have heard about them is they work and work well.

[frankmako]

cheap heavy ugly gun that works.  what is wrong with that?  i don't have one, but if one comes along for the right price it will come home with me.  it will make a great replacement 4 wheel gun.

It really does look like that, not sure where that base plate idea came from.

I have owned a couple (.40 and .45). Rugged, reliable, and surprisingly accurate. The Hi-Point .40 I owned would shoot smaller groups than my Ruger SR40.

Makes a good knock around weapon for camping, truck, etc. Edited March 8, 2015 by jonathon1289

[hipower]

awesome, congrats.

 

I have several of them.  They shoot straight.

 

I have owned one.  Bought it in a 2 gun deal. Sold it for more than I paid for both.

 

I might try one again...but there are too many other things out there to sample. before another Hi-Point.

[TNWNGR]

LMAO even though it's FUGLY as sin it will still go bang with reasonable owners care. I've seen them work after being left dry, dirty and rusty with only a shot or two of lube. iMHO an excellent bit of design work whereby price and reliability outweighed appearance resulting in customer support. Kind of cool but I still don't own one, though I will probably buy a carbine to play with pretty soon.

As an owner of a wide array of handguns, including the Hi-Point 9mm, it serves a great purpose for everyone's collection. Would never consider it as my primary home defense or EDC weapon, but is definitely what I take camping, fishing, keep in the toolbox, etc.

 

It is different, ugly, and heavy for its size but that's what makes it fun and to help develop versatility in your shooting. It's always a joy to shoot the nice, pretty, and expensive guns that also take expensive, pretty, nice ammo. A Hi-Point on the other hand will take any cheap crap you can find while still putting it down range-on target.

 

What's really fun to do at ranges is to have your Kimbers, S&Ws, Berettas, and such going, everyone is 'oohing & aahing', reach in the bag to pull out your Hi-Point with full white glove treatment. It's like some of their brains explode from confusion.

 

Welcome to the club, be proud your not a gun snob. The other remarkable thing about Hi-Point... rarely questions asked, life-time warranty that follows the firearm, regardless of original owner or if you're the 100th owner. Can't say that about everything else in my collection.

Still prettier than a Glock. :stir:

Thems' fightin' words guy.  :slapfight:

[daddyo]

Can't beat their warranty either.

I did a search and can't find the pics online, now but somewhere in the past I saw where someone had modded their Hi-Point (I think it was one of the .45 models) to look like a DeWalt cordless drill.  They had done a spot-on paint job and even completed the look with DeWalt stickers.  It looked so much like a cordless drill that, at a glance, many folks - especially non-gun folks - would probably believe that was exactly what they saw.

[tnguy]

Just beware. If you ever pistol-whip someone with it, you might be up for a charge of attempted murder :)

[gun sane]

That magazine base plate is sweet!  I love how they camouflage it to make it look like a battery pack. 

 

So that's what they mean when a gun is in battery.  :jester:

[monkeylizard]

Just beware. If you ever pistol-whip someone with it, you might be up for a charge of carrying a club without a license  :)

 

FIFY!

That's damning with faint praise.

Couldn't find the HP, but here's a Glock done that way:

 

 

And an AR:

I don't think the AR is going to get away with it.
