Anyone have a Hi-Point Handgun?

Yes we have one, they are good, not that ugly, and U.S.A. made, that is the biggest thing for me. And they don`t cost and arm and a leg. > Thanks Marc

I can't speak from experience regarding hi points, but in general with handguns I do think that you "get what you pay for." I also like to buy handguns that are likely to go up in value the longer I own them.

I have one in 40 caliber. I would not trust it if fully loaded (one in the chamber) if iI carried it in a holster because of the safety usually moves to the front easily. If you want to have it for target shooting it is great or self defense but carrying it around will be a problem. The other thing is the magazine release. It is made in the handle at the bottom not just a button on mine. It goes bang every time with most ammunition.

I have one and with anything there are pro's and con's. Obviously, price is a pro. It is also fairly accurate and at least mine seems very reliable. I have no personal experience but I hear their customer service and warranty is beyond reproach. SOme of the cons is that is heavy for a pistol. You would think with such a heavy pistol that you could hold more rounds in it. don't understand why it can't hold more rounds. Of course it is fugly too. I also prefer a hammer rather than a firing pin. Overall, it is a pretty good pistol. Especially at that price point.

Thats why guns come with a backup safety, its called the trigger! Keep your finger off that and you'll be fine.

I've had a few, still have a 9mm and .45 pistol and 2 995 carbines
They work great, definitely keepers

Shot this 5 shot group off hand at 25 yards with a 9mm using Remington hollow points but you could barely hit the side of a barn with Federal Champion 9mm bulk ammo. Don't know exactly why, it was either tumbling, or jacket separation but the Winchester White box was oaky. Also, the way I held it resulted in the safety being partially applied by the recoil. I could still pull the trigger, but it took considerable force. Some folks put rubber tubing on the safety to help with this issue, but it could a big problem in a self defense issue. I recently traded it in on a 44 mag

I've had 2 9mm's and loved them. The biggest drawback to them is the razzing your buddies give you. Mine were so reliable that I ran stuff through them that the Smith's and Glock's wouldn't eat. Buy one, you won't be sorry.
