Any one know anything about these pistols, they are cheap,
just thought might buy one to have a extra one around just in case. I like cheap, and Im not planning on shooting thousands of rounds through it. The picture is of a 9mm
compact that shows 149.95 for a price on line.

You will get basically two different oppinions.


Junk


And


Decent



I have never shot one, but, I have talked to some people that have. The don't like them very much. Thats about all I can say.



Personally, I think they are fugly.

 

[rmr]

thats more than I had before, if it goes bang and cycles without jamming, is probably all I would ask it to do for 150 bucks.

 

[Guest]

RMR I have owned two different ones and I have loved them both ( the only reason I do not have them anymore is I needed the money and sold them )

They are top heavy until you get a loaded magizine in them.

I never had one bit of problem out of them and I had the 9 MM for just over three year and the .45ACP for just over two years

:cheers:

Most all autos in a Compact model tear the hide off my hand between my thumb and index finger---------Fire one before you buy it---make sure it fits your hand----:cheers::cheers:

 

[Vector]

Cheaper end Mark, I would check out Ruger or Taurus. Both of them are MUCH more reliable than what you are looking at.

"cycles without jamming" is probably where you would get disappointed. And you can plan on the trigger pull being very poor.

Actually Parker the trigger pull on this guns are not all that bad ( well at least the one that I had was not that bad )

:cheers:

 

[racks-n-beards]

I pulled the trigger it went boom. Not sure on the accuracy cause I am not a great pistol shooter. But, the pistol itself didn't impress me much. If you currently own a better one you will probably not like it. Definitely need to get to a dealer and handle a few to see what ya think.

 

[cummins5.9]

They aren't bad, really. Had one in .40 S&W. Ran probably 300 rounds through it, never had a jam one. Dad's got one in 9mm, it's not bad but it won't cycle if you "limpwrist". That's about all I know. The .40 I had would go bang every time and was fairly accurate.

Of course, compairing it to my 1911 is like compairing a Yugo to a Ferrari.

 

[Vector]

:whiteflag: I see Ruger and Taurus are not as cheap as they used to be. :rof2:

You could get that gun and give it a whirl. If you like shooting it, you'll only have one direction to go for a replacement for better shooting. :cheers:

KelTec makes some REALLY good compact guns. :cheers:

[cummins5.9]

Mark, if you keep your eyes peeled, you can probably find a Ruger P95 for $300. It's far and away a better pistol and not a whole lot more money. I picked up one on sale for $299 a couple months ago and am pretty happy with it.

 

[rmr]

I am not a big pistol, person, a news person once ask a Texas Ranger why he had his pistol , at a news conference
or a meeting of some kind , are you expecting trouble,
he said lady if I was expecting trouble I would have brought my rifle, thats kind of the way I am , I just thought for the money it would be fun to play with.
thanks for the feed back so far, I think I have enough to give it a whirl. if I can get my dealer to find one at my price.

 

[CLIFFHANGER]

Mark I woul spend at least $100 more or go a used one of these shot many and for the money this is a nice little gun?

to each his own jus my :02:
can pick them up used for around $150.00
:2thumbsup:

Don't take this wrong Mark, but...price isn't what you should be most concerned with, when shopping for a home defense or CCW pistol.

Neither does it need to have all the bells & whistles....fancy finish, match-grade barrel & trigger, etc, etc...

Safe, functional & reliable are of the utmost importance, though...for you and your family.

I suggest that you look at used pistols/revolvers. You can pick up a nice, dependable used pistol at a more affordable price, than buying new.

If you don't like it, you won't lose much when you sell it.

 

[cshoff]

There are plenty of other reasonably priced semi-auto pistols out there that a Hi Point just doesn't make much sense. Check out offerings from Bersa, or see if you can still find any of the Smith & Wesson Sigma's on sale. They recently ran a promo on the Sigmas where you could buy the gun for $299 and then get a $50 mail in rebate. They are far and away a vastly superior gun to the Hi Point. Same with the Bersa - a MUCH better made gun than the Hi Point.

Now if an overly-high bore axis, top heavy, pot-metal slide gun is your thing, then you may want to consider the Hi Point.

:wave: Drive over this way this spring, and we'll head to the range. I've got several you can give a run.

Cool, all good info, thanks for the offer Parker.:2thumbsup:

I can also extend that offer, if you make it my direction....I can show ya Glock and 1911.:cheers::wave:

I have the exact same Hi Point. Its not the best looking pistol I own but it has never failed to feed or fire. It all depends on what you want to do with it. I bought mine to take fishing and mushroom hunting. You never know when you might run into a snake (there is all kinds of snakes)! For that purpose it is great. I have a fobus paddle holster for it and it carries nice. Now i wanted to carry a ccw it would be my Ruger security 6. When I **** the hammer on it I know it is loaded and it will go bang. I like to keep it simple for high stress situations.
