Great price. I'm hoping they get the C9 back in stock soon, at a similar price.

Good? Yes. Perfect? No.They're cast, the design is not refined, they tend to be heavy and they aren't really meant to compete with the high-end guns.

On the other end, they're low-cost and good for someone with a low bank balance or just as a throw-around car/garage gun. I had two at one point and both performed well. The thing you have to keep in mind is that gun people are like car/game/TV people: costs more = better. You MIGHT get a better gun for $600, you might not. Kimbers are $1200+ and have a reputation for having problems.

This is good for a backup or playaround but not so much for everyday carry due to the size and weight. I say if people new to guns can shoot these well, they'll do fine with other guns.

I have use the 9 and the 380 and I can say they perform well , unrefined. It's one of the lowest prices on the market. Imagine in the world of tools Ryobi. The same thing. If you need a handgun for practice and playground this is for you. Low price lifetime warranty great deal!

This is some bullshivic American product. Its a disgrace to American craftsmanship, and a disgrace to the gun community.

Why spend hundreds of dollars if all you want is to stop someone in their tracks?

I did spend a few extra bucks for a laser sight.
If one does not know why someone would buy a High Point they are not a Fat Wallet person.

So you are trusting a $150 pistol to be your last line of defense between your family and a criminal?

If your choice is a $150 gun, and a candy cane. I'm pulling the trigger on a $150 gun.

I know my other option is not going to suffice.

$150 will buy you a pretty beefy "candy cane."

People who own these and ONLY these firearms need to re-prioritize their spending. You have a responsibility and civic duty to own and preferably carry a firearm. Spend less money on hobbies, or budget better and buy something else. This is not a pistol you will become a 'good shot' with because of how awkward it is. There is a reason why no police force, government agency or military group carries these as a serious duty tool.

Tequila477 said:   I'd love to hear from current or prior owners of Hi-Point pistols. The reviews I read online all seem to be written by the same person and they're overwhelmingly positive in nature. If a $154 dollar gun is actually that great, why are people spending 500+ on Glock, Sig, Kimber, Beretta, etc? Not to mention I know a lot of gun guys and none of them own a Hi-Point pistol. Are these guns some huge secret in the gun community? I'm very curious to hear your comments. If these guns ARE this good, and this cheap, they'd be perfect to introduce 'non-gun' people to the shooting sports.

Check out the Hi-Point forums. You'll find honest reviews and discussions from folks who actually own them as well as an infinite number of tips. They're friendly, knowledgeable people who would be happy to answer any further questions you may have.

I posted this back in April

I dont own a Hi-Point, And Hi-Point are not for me. But I am a NRA range officer. A man came into my range about a month ago with a Hi-Point 9mm, He put about 100 rounds thrue it with no mis-fires.
He ask me If I like to shot it I said yes, I put 5 rounds on target in a real tight group.
I like my Glocks, Kahrs & XD but the Hi-Point was a nice gun ( But Hi-Points are not for me there heavy and boxy ).

Just a side note, A few month ago I went in for my Range Qualifications.
My Glock 19, 50 rounds good ammo, the gun jammed about 1/2 way thrue....
Just think if that Glock Jammed When I Needed It....
But I still love my glocks....

Butcherboy said:   You dont hear a lot of complaints from owners of Hi-Point pistols, Why ?

How come my $500 To $700 pistols dont come with this good of a Warranty ?

Question 1. Because if they are smart, they aren't Hi-Point owners for long. They'll ditch the pistols for something else.

Question 2. They usually don't need it. <Insert Tommy Boy Quote about Warranties>

For this price point, This is not a bad gun.

And yes my Glock has jammed in the past.

But if you read my other post

Best bang for the buck, Is a Springfield XD

Just b/c something cost alot and is sleek does not make it better.

Yes- it fires every time and is accurate.
If someone comes into my house uninvited I guarantee they will be carried out.
What do you base your argument on, do you own one?

I own both the HP pistol and carbine, they surely are fun to shoot.

Tequila477 said:   That was quite a flood of responses. What I've learned:

Any gun is better than no gun at all.

Hi-Point is fun to shoot and pretty reliable.

At this price point if you're interested in shooting on the cheap, you can't beat this deal with a stick.

Lots of people like to voice an opinion even if they've never actually used the product in question.

Thanks for your input. I'm curious enough to seek out one of these guns and shoot it and form my own opinion.

But you haven't learned the most important thing reading this thread. That's don't look to a deal site for gun advice.

Go screw yourself.

First rule of a gun fight: bring a gun. For <$150 each you could buy 3-4 of these for the price of a [insert name brand gun here]. And keep them all over your house, in your car(s), etc.

Pro: Cheap, fire when you pull the trigger, no big loss if someone steals it out of your car.
Cons: too heavy for concealed carry.
