Hi-Point Carbine

[rabidravens]

Stopped by On-Target today and they have 9mm Hi Point carbine Rifles. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with them. They are dirt cheap and look like alot of fun to shoot.

Kinda like mopeds...fun to have, but you don't want anyone to see ya' with it.

They're accurate and reliable but I think they've gone past the price that I would personally buy one.

I paid $200 for the bling version in '01. +1 for what norton said. Iron sights you can 'waller out a hole.

Online you can find them for under $200 but after shipping and transfer costs they will run you right about $200! Are they worth $200? Yep.

They are fun plinkers. I have the 9mm and it is a great gun to teach kids, and those afraid of load bangs, how to shoot. Very little recoil and relatively cheap to feed. My daughter loves to shoot it at 25 and 50 yard targets. It is not a 100 yrd shooter, but with practice you can ring the gong. They are making a .40 cal and have been working on the .45 ACP for a few years now. I may pick up a .45 (if it is ever released) after the initial rush is over.

No shame in owning one. Now the Hi-Point pistols may be a differnt story, I have not shot any and do not know.

Trigger on the High Point is way better than the SKS. IMO. SKS I never know when it is going to fire.

You'll probably bust the stock on the High point but the reciever is a solid chunk of metal... straight outta the hills solid.

They're fun, cheap to shoot, but uglier than sin out the box. Fortunately, there's plenty of tricking out to be done to 'em.

 

[Splitter]

Even on the HiPoint forums, the carbines are loved. Ugly, probably want to replace the stock as someone else said, but reliable and accurate.

The pistols are uglier. Most are reliable, some take tweaking. Our 9mm pistol now seems to have all the bugs worked out of it and went 250 rounds today without a failure.

ALL HiPoints come with a lifetime, no questions asked warranty and their customer service is top notch.

+1....I have one, fun plinker.

Kinda like the so-so looking hussy in HS, lots of fun, puts out, but don't want to be seen with it

the aftermarket stock is @ $70

rabidravens,
Thanks for the heads up. Been looking for a Hi-Point just to have fun with. Nobody anywhere has had them in stock lately. On Target now has one less than they did.

Yeah, they're ugly. But what this fellow did to his is kinda cool:

[houserocker]

How much are they asking for them?

 

[j8064]

Only had the basic black 9mm:
$194.95 + tax.
Extra mags for $22.95 ea.

I have an ATI stock on mine. Makes it's look 100% better!

 

[Russ D]

ATI stocks can be had for about 50$ shipped. They are fun little plinkers that offer reliability and accuracy that you'd expect from a much more expensive rifle, but I wouldn't trade any of my SKs' for one.

Who from?
So far all I've found are in the $70 or so price range.

 

[stank]

Will the after market stocks work on the .40s also?

Stock is the same, just the barrel cal is different. Should be GTG
