Delta and the seals use them. They don't talk about them though because they are so bad ass and cheap it's not a big deal if they loose them on missions.
If they talked about them, the price would go through the roof because people trying to be like them. |

Well balanced and ergo dynamically correct pinnacles of engineering with flawless fit and finish
Just a shame that Glock had trademarked the motto "Perfection" first. Hi Point is so much more deserving. 
Never owned one, but have shot two. They work and that's about it. |

Their alright.
Action: blowback. Accuracy fair to good. Reliability-use heavier bullets. Cyclic rate-good to very good. Single stack mag-tap em back tight. Sights-a little small. Target acquisition-only fair Maintenance- lubricate and clean as any other. Reliabliity-after break in, very good out to about 700 to 1000 rounds or a little more depending on model; they will let you know usually without a break-down as weapon will begin to feel kind of, "loose." Would own: Have owned several models including 9mm carbine in the past. Would own again: Why not. |

I shot one when they were Mansfield Arms, or something like that. Worked fine. Reliable and cheap.

Ugly, heavy, cruddy ergonomics, good accuracy, very good functionality. I have had a C-9 for a few yrs. Close to 30000 rnds. thru it first 600 was right out of the box with no cleaning, trying to make it fail.with ZERO FAILURES. it eats anything for ammo, factory, reloads, old green crap from an unknown box at an auction, For the money you cant lose Get one, hell get two. |

They may not be tier 1 but they go bang and can be used as a club if they do jam

My brother has the .45 ACP High Point (all he could afford at the time).
I mixed 230 ball, 185 JHP and 200 LSWC in a mag and it gobbled them up with nary a problem. I wish they'd make their carbine in 10mm- talk about a cheap trunk or boat gun! |

I had a couple of issues with the companion handgun at first. Just needing some deburring of the slide and feed ramp polishing. |

They are what they are...cheap pistols. However I believe they are decent quality cheap pistols.
I have friends that own .380 and 9mm versions of the Hi-Points..and they like them..I've shot them and wasn't just over-whelmingly impressed except they do work good. The only Hi-Point product I own is a 995 carbine. I've shot it enough to know it works...and that I don't really like it. Have not had it out in several years...and the last time out it started jamming and my son experienced a 'hang-fire'..  ....That said I've never ever cleaned it(been told these are a sum-beech to put back together)...and it was used and dirty when I got it...

I've shot a 9mm and a .45 Hi-Point. They go bang when you pull the trigger and hit where you point them. They seem to function just fine.

They are cheap and go bang. If I only had 100 bucks to buy a gun that would be it.

Mine broke once, I called the factory, they over nighted me a pile of parts, it's not broke any more.
Didn't cost me a dime. Still ugly and heavy though. |

It's not a gun that I'd want to trust my life to, but I have better options. If it was a hi point or nothing I'd take a hi point.

I had a carbine like six years ago that I received as a gift. The ergonomics sucked, ease of disassembly.. Well I wouldn't use the ease...
It went bang when I pulled the trigger and hit what I was pointing it at. I don't miss it though.

There are people in extreme low income brackets who need some measure of protection and that's the demographic they go after.

Never owned a Hi Point pistol, so I can't speak with any experience about them. The Hi Point carbine on the other hand I can definitely share some first hand experiences.
I bought a .45acp carbine last year and have probably put about 1200 rounds through it. The thing is reliable as hell and hits where you aim it. Never a single failure of any kind, and I've shot factory ammo, reloads, and even steel cased Tula through it. That's a claim I can't honestly make about some (four) of my much more expensive toys. Ugly as it is, it still goes to the range with me almost every time. It feels heavy and clunky, and I really don't like the mag location (in the grip), or the limited capacity (9 rounds), but it's fun to shoot and has really low recoil which makes follow up shots easy and accurate. I'd definitely buy another Hi Point carbine based on my experiences with my first one. |
