Have one in 45 that never jams. Shoots into about 2 inches at 25 yards. Not the most accurate but you don't want to stand in front of it. Like they said it has a lifetime warranty and the one i heard of being sent back was fixed and returned quickly. ED K

Don't own one but a buddy does and I've shot it. It's not a high dollar gun and it doesn't pretend to be. They work damn well for the folks that can't afford a $800
Auto. Won't catch me hatin on one. But, My bottle says beam and my ring says macanudo. Sometimes it's about what works.

My experience as well.....cheap, heavy and ugly, but always goes bang. I have a Glock 26 that won't reliably feed reloads. My HiPoint feeds everything that fits in the magazine.

I have one that I bought just on a whim after hearing how well they worked and how accurate. My 9mm is just that, works everytime and is very accurate.
Two of my buddies that have shot mine have bought their own.

No diss intended but it always amazes me how non gun people a lot of LEOs are.

HP has been around for quite some time. A buddy has a carbine, first one I'd actually seen and shot, a few years back finally and while it looks plastic, that carbine is actually fairly amazing for what it is.

As others noted, no beauty, but affordable and basically reliable and safe.

yeah, My step dad had one back in the 80's. 9mm if I remember correctly.
I always felt it was a POS but he shot it ok. I was into my Hi Power for 9, then.

Guys like this nerd in the video, who has no concept of how to properly handle a handgun, is what gives "gun people" a bad name.

There ya go. A Hi Point is a Glock without the locked breech and price mark up.

had a chance to buy a 9mm Hi Point carbine this weekend.

I've always thought they were [bleep] - after reading this thread I wish I had rolled the dice on it now.

If you get another chance to get a carbine, get it. The one I sold worked everytime I pulled the trigger and was Armadillo accurate. I sold mine to get a .45 carbine, then the deal fell through. Wish I had my 9mm back...

Are you kidding? Two inches at 25 yards is outstanding.

High Point has been around a long time and I'd never talk schit about them as they have a damn good reputation. I also wouldn't buy one because I'm rich and I prefer my guns be beautiful.

As JOG pointed out, Glocks aren't too far off. And when Glock originally started out he wanted his pistols in the same price point. His marketing gurus didn't allow that, they jacked the prices because they knew Americans would view them as cheap chunk if they made them as affordable as possible.
