I have their 9mm and I like it a lot. I was told to toss it in the junk because it is unsafe. I guess that person didn't see the video where a couple guys actually tried to destroy a Hi Point (9mm?) by overcharging the cartridges, filling the barrel with powder and driving in a nail and then firing it off...They tried several ways to blow it up. If my poor memory serves, they finally did destroy the gun but I can't remember how they did it. I saw the video before I bought mine. I cannot say I made a mistake when I believed the video. It may be oogly but then...nuff said. Now all I have to do is learn to shoot a handgun. I am ok at 7-10 yards and can place all 8 or 10 in the torso and head. I need practice out a bit farther just in case. I will give that forum a looksee also.

Here is the video on youtube "Man VS Hi Point"

I like the 45

those are cool, I like the carbine, kind of a poor mans camp 9 haha

Either a 40 or 45 will do me. I can't afford an AR but These Hi Points are in my price range. I have fired a 45 at an outdoor range in Iowa and it did not misfire and it was accurate. I don't need a lot of junk on it but I do need a scope. They're just ugly enough to be cool.

Hi Point 45

Yeah the .45 would be awesome..with the short barrel it would an excellent camp/home defense gun...much more practical than an AR IMHO

I am already loading 45 ACP so the Ruger 45 ACP cylinder would have a big buddy. It gives the old 45 ACP a new platform now that Thompsons are so expensive.
