Who likes Hi-Points? Most people say they like the carbines but hate the pistols. I think they're both good!
I bought a Hi-Point 9mm pistol for $110 brand new. It will produce 3" groups at 35'. It jammed a couple of times initially but I fixed that by adjusting the magazine. The feed lips were too tight which caused the first round in each magazine to nose dive.
My .45 ACP cost $150 brand new . This pistol will produce a 2 1/2" groups at 35' and has never jammed. It's alot of fun to shoot but doesn't handle as well as the 9mm. The slide is huge making it top-heavy and the recoil is brutal. They also use a very heavy recoil spring on the .45 making it hard to rack the slide.
Both pistols work fine with hollowpoints but I prefer ball ammo, here's why:
- Most autos do better with ball ammo
- It penetrates better
- Hollowpoints need to travel faster than 1100 fps in order to expand reliably
- Ball ammo is cheaper
All things considered I really like my Hi-Points. They can handle +P ammo and come with a no-hassle lifetime warranty. They are large and fat but can be concealed with the right holster. I plan on buying the carbine as soon as it's available in .45 ACP.
See what other people are saying about Hi-Points by visiting thefiringline.com, thehighroad.org, or the official Hi-Point website at mkssupply.com. I hope you find this information useful.
Check back frequently as I expand this website to include other topics. I plan on adding a page for Russian firearms very soon.
