Ive had one, functionally, it was fine, ergonomically, it blew.
A Hi-Point is better than a stick, and should be a stepping stone to a better gun.

Is it the size that’s the problem?nalioth said:I'd not want to concealed carry one
yep, most guns Ive found were of the hi-point/bryco/jennings linage, but I did find a BHP longslide once.KyAKGuy said:Cheap guns, gang bangers love them because of that.
You can arm the whole gang for the price of 6-7 Glocks.
Cheap enough that if you loose one or have to ditch it,
it's not a big loss. They do work usually, at least for a while.
HI-Point, The MoPed of handguns...

Yup, Hit the nail on the head.apb2772 said:I am not saying that the guns themselves had anything to do with the manner in which they were used, but that they seemed to attract the wrong type of customer. When they were displayed out with the rest of the merchandise, it seemed every "Gang banger/pimp wannabe" and slob white trash type would be in looking for one.

Somewhere i heard that Hi-Point is the highest percentages of gun traces done by the National Tracing Center.
Sometimes its better to not sell something in order to avoid the additional
scrutiny the associated product can bring upon your place of business.

My dealer won't take in, or sell any Hi-Points, Ravens, Lorcins, Brycos, Jennings, Jimenez, etc. guns for the same reason.KyAKGuy said:Yup, Hit the nail on the head.apb2772 said:I am not saying that the guns themselves had anything to do with the manner in which they were used, but that they seemed to attract the wrong type of customer.

When you stand there for half an hour trying to communicate with some person that speaks like he is from another planet and acts like a scumbag idiot, telling them that they MUST fill out a 4473, and that NO you cant "trow in" a "Beam" and "a halfa boxa Taolnz" and knock $50 off of the bottom rung price - you really do come to the conclusion that they (the guns) are either not worth carrying, or displaying.
:roll: How do you take a gun that has been fired back to the store?Jbrown said:My neighbor just turned 21 and bought a hi-point. Took him to the range and shot the hi-point and my Springfield xd40. He then took the hi-point back to the store and is saving up for a used xd.
