Has anybody tried the Hi Point handguns?

[Jstpssng]

When we got married we bought a Hi Standard (not Hi Point) 9 shot .22 short barrel revolver. It has a .22 long rifle and .22 magnum cylinder. No safety. Double action. The wife and I practiced with it quite a bit. I figured it was about as simple as you can get. Nothing to think about, no safety to remember, etc... and I felt comfortable with her having that if I had to be away.

I've had a couple of single action .22s over the years with interchangeable cylinders; but never seen one with double action. That must be a nice gun. (A .22 is my preferred gun for plinking, and I carry one all fall for shooting grouse while I'm working.)

I also didn't realise that they were still in business , but their base is down there in Texas.

I don't see any revolvers on their website though.

Its not the same company. They went out of business a long time ago and their assets were purchased.
Here's a history....

And check out the photo of the Navy Waves target practicing.... watch out for the one on the left!!! :laughing:

Here's a photo of mine. I have a long barrel model as well, but it can't take the magnums.

Got me to wonting so I went and bought me a Hi-Point 45 rifle with red dot scope for the hogs.

For the hogs I'd have went for the 40 cal. Carbine. A Little higher velocity.

I've accumulated a few hipoints over the years. I've never had one FTF or FTE.
pretty accurate too. The carbines are fun to shoot. Lifetime guarantee & made in Ohio.

I have been tempted by them, they do seem to be the value gun of the moment. We already have 6 pistols between the two of us, I haven't found a need yet. I just got a sweet little XD Tactical in .40 S&W with the 5" barrel. It should carry a little more velocity and accuracy than the Ultrastar 9mm and be more practical than my Judge.

What comes out the barrel is for them

Gary I was going to get a AR but didn't won't to spend the money and if they run off and die just means I don't have to fool with them. Even if doesn't kill them maybe they will get the point to go somewhere else

Well, then, it appears I was horribly mistaken.... :laughing:

You ever eat those hogs or are you tired of it by now?
