Has anybody tried the Hi Point handguns?

[Soundguy]

They're not any worse looking than glocks. IMO

agreed.. or you could say it the other way around.

at least with the high point and the price, you feel ok about it being ugly.

both go bang and have a stellar warranty. in fact.. I've heard of hi points warranty doing some pretty good things for people after they have done some pretty bad things to their guns, and no complaints...

Y'all have convinced me. I'm gonna get me a Hi-Point. If my wife can pick it up I'll get a 45. If she can't pick it up then I'll get the 9mm. If I loose it in the field,...then I'm out a couple hundred at the most. Since I am a notorious tightwad (just ask my wife and daughters) I would probably sit down and cry but not as long as I would if I lost a Glock. While I'm at it I may pick up a Carbine in the same caliber. Then I'm going to watch the Rural King ads and when the Rock Island 38 Special revolvers with a 4" barrel go on sale again for $199.99 I'm buying one of them. They will serve the purpose I intend them for. And I will get all three for less than a Glock. Not that I have anything against Glocks. Now I know a Smith & Wesson will last longer, I have one of those. And a Ruger is prettier, got a couple of those too. But I want a cheap, simple, reliable (goes bang every time), tool for an intended purpose. I will not be carrying them into a combat situation!

Also, in my nearly 62 years I have noticed that people who buy something or own something and continuously brag about how much they spent on said item are spending money to impress.

Such people do not impress me.

Most of my friends will brag about how little they spent on something. I guess we tightwads tend to gather together in a group.

If I spend my money on something I want it to function as intended. Looking pretty or being an impressive and expensive brand name are way down the list in my requirements. The exceptions to this are brand names that have a great, fantastic, unbelievable reputation for reliability and value for the money spent.

Anyway, talking too much again.

Good day.

I actually saw just today, they do have some optional grips you can order from Hi Point, at least for the .40 and .45. Gonna look a bit closer after work today

I ordered my wife a set of the pink camo rubberized grips for her .40. Think it was $17, and free shipping. It does note that grips don't have life time warranty, only against manufacturer defects.

The 9mm is the way to go in the pistol or carbine. The 40& 45. Pistols ARE just too big. The 380 pistol is same physical size as nine. Just less power, more expensive to shoot. The one possible exception on carbines is the .40 cal. The carbines are a blast to shoot and darn accurate.
Let's see some pics of modded carbines?

Speaking of Rural King, every now and then their Rock Isle 45ACP 1911 go for 349$

The carbines really are a blast! And, as you say, very accurate. Haven't done any mods myself, but it's pretty cool what this guy did.

My brother in law once told her that women buy shoes, men buy guns. Her reply was that you could only shoot one at a time. His reply was she could only wear one pair at a time.
