Opinions on High Point Firearms

You guys still beating this thread?

Maybe my Hi-Point needs another week in the litter box to prove they don't all jam.......

Of course, I bought it to be a tackle-box or trunk gun. It fits that role pretty well.

i have vicarious experience with HiPoints. my brother owned two of them, both were the .45ACP models.

he bought the first one at a gun show for $75. it was an older version, with "Haskell" engraved on the side. it hated anything but ball ammo, and even some of that wouldn't work.

later on, he bought an updated version of it, with the polymer grips, and interchangeable/adjustable sights. it was even bigger and uglier than the old one. but, it ran flawlessly. and accurately, too. not as accurate as, say, my 1911, but good enough for self defense. he paid about $125 for it, brand new.

i'm going to buy one eventually, because if i lose it, break it, have it confiscated by overzealous LEO, or anything, i won't cry over it.

I have the 9 and 45. I have fired over 3000 rounds in each and have NEVER had a single jam. As for accuracy, It's better than my SIG. I have a friend who had a few problems with jams and it was his mag. he got a new mag and it doesn't jam anymore. Those of you that have problems confuses me.

I have the Highpoint C9.. with over 5000 rounds through it, One jam.. thats with less than 100 rounds through it then.. I pull the triggeer, it goes bang, and is as accurate as I am. Dont like Highpoint? Dont buy one..

i bought a stallard arms js 9 from a pawn shop last week and i didnt even shoot 100 rounds and the slide broke in half on me. good thing the pawn shop bought it back. i picked up an eaa m88 after wards. havent shot it yet. hopefully i get to the range soon. no more hi points for me. dont know how the c-9s are but hopefully made better than that crap stallard that i got.

i have herd all the stories from those that dont have a hi point. they are jealous i didnt spent $600 for it. it is as accurate as my colt .45 was.
i have a .40 pictol and .40 carbine. it is easy to get a holster.
if it jams call hi point and they will tell you the 20 second fix,
YES 20 second fix. if anyone says they arent accurate - i dare them to
stand 40 yard from me while i shoot at them.

speaking of hi-points... anyone have one for trade for a 30gb zune? maybe you could throw in a 25 cal raven with it (because my zune comes with a sweet speaker dock and a car dock/fm transmitter) http://forum.pafoa.org/everything-el...ake-offer.html

not a touchy subject i own a hi-pint pistol and carbine both .40.
i did have problems of jamming with the pistol. but, i just called hi-point and told them and told me how to fix it. i fired 300 rounds thru my pistol no jams.
as far as hitting the target - i can hit shot gun shells at 30 yards.
people just hate the idea of not paying $700 for a pistol and still be happy with it, they are jealous.
