Someone carrying a cheap gun in a cheap holster because that is likely what they can afford. Sounds good to me.
Yea, they had to modify the holster to make it work but then actually tested it out over a year to good effect. Nothing wrong with that despite being a little rough in execution. |

I have an old friend, US Marine Sniper, Vietnam Combat Veteran, retired trooper and former head of training for Oklahoma Highway Patrol, and best range instructor I've ever had the privilege to study under. He still teaches if anyone is interested. Anyone in Oklahoma probably already knows him. Great all around guy He often opens his class by bringing out a High Point pistol, standard blowback brick, or his famous British Enfield .303 rifle for his sniper classes, then outscores the entire class armed with their custom 1911's, glox, Hk's with Nightforce glass or whatever just to show the neophytes that the wand you're holding doesn't make you a magician...not by a damn sight |

I used to work with a guy who carried a Hi-Point in a crappy Uncle Mikes holster. The holster pushed on the mag release and every time I saw him the magazine was dangling loose.

I actually have a Hi-Point, it fun to bring to the range and let people shoot it. It's like taking people to the really low brow strip club, the one where dancers are missing limbs.
It actually works, mostly. I bought it used for well under $100, I don't think it had ever been shot to be honest. My FFL wanted no part of it, so I bought it. |

They get a lot of crap from rich snobs who like to laugh at and shit on "the poors" but those hi points actually run pretty good. I have shot quite a few and was always impressed with their their practicality. With that said , I'm still not going to be buying one any time soon.
Skeletor says nope and breaks glass.meme LOL I don't think this thread is going how evnash planned it to. |

Something to consider is that there are probably more cheap guns like that Hi-Point being carried in cheap holsters running around out there than there are tricked out Glocks or 2011s or whatever in the latest whizbang kydex.

I have a cheapy keltech pf9 I bought for next to nothing. A few of us ran the shit out of it one day at the club with all sorts of random 9mm we had. Then deemed it good to go. Its in a super cheap neoprene iwb holster. I call it my pajama gun. Its what I stick in my PJ pants to taje the dog out at night. Because its small, light and better than nothing.

The difference with a KelTec is that it doesn't have a bunch of unnecessary material, more of a Glock in the cheapie gun world. The HiPoint is just bulky cheap material making up for premium materials. That's an awful trade off. A Bersa, KelTec, Girsan, Arex, Taurus Millennium, or Mossberg MC1 would be far better options. For stupid cheap pistols I'd rock this from Bud's for under $300 before a HiPoint if it came down to it.  Attached File |

But if all someone can afford is a HiPoint, God bless em, and hope they carry one until they can get something better like a Taurus G2/G3C or a PSA Compact Dagger. At the 1st Cheesecake, I was hitting the tank at 130 yds from kneeling w/ my HiPoint .45 pistol. Lots of fun - it has a fixed bbl. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Good for him or her exercising the right to keep and bear arms. My opinion, too. Folks like to shit on others. I guess to make them feel superior. I've never owned a High Point, but the three folks who i have known that owned them said they run. I did own a long barreled version of the Phoenix for a decade. It served as my back yard .22 plinker for a decade. It ran as well as .22 semi could and most of the ammo i ran through it was that filthy bulk Thunderbolts. The thing was very accurate, too. One shooter at a public range had a HP carbine. He let me shoot it. It was funky looking, but it was accurate and ran well. Another plus was the unlimited lifetime warranty. Discovered mine had a cracked slide after it's yearly cleaning. A call to Phoenix rendered a return RSA on their dime. About ten days later, a brand new one was in my mailbox. Id just bought a Ruger SR22 as an upgrade when they came out. My daughter grew up shooting that Phoenix and wanted it. She now owns it. I'm a Glock guy, but may buy one of those Hight Points just for the hell of it. They make a really loud, gaudy one with a dollar bill finish. I'd take that to a public range.

I've had two of the 9mm carbines, the 45 pisto, and the 9mm pistol.
Only one that didn't run was the 9mm. Sold it at a profit after disclosing my issues with it...guy sent it back to the mothership and it came back working fine. That .45 would eat hard-shouldered wadcutters like nothing else. I got a bunch for free because my buddies all had high end 1911's that choked on them. If they're what you can afford, they'll work. Regardless, they're fun and you don't have to worry about them...throw them in the mud, whatever. Who cares. ETA: I paid under a hundred for both of the pistols and under two hundred for the carbines. I'd never buy one new. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: In the day of the $200 PSA Dagger….why? Because the difference between a $200 PSA Dagger that arrives in a few days after it's ordered and a used $150 Hi Point in stock RIGHT NOW at the LGS is significant for some, especially when you awaken to the value of a firearm because there's suddenly backpacker troglodyte activity in your neighborhood. I've trimmed the cost of my CCW course to $50, Even at that cost, it takes some people a few pay cycles to save up enough to take it. Lots of people live paycheck to paycheck, and sometimes having it now is better than having the best. |
