Every time I go to Cabela's, I see a black guy who really loves Hi Point guns...when we all know they are shit.

when its all you can afford i bet its a pretty nice gun. I know its the only gun we order by the case and they ALWAYS sell out. They shot but its harder to hit anything with them...very loose.

Sure, Hi Point guys are very cheap, but you could shell out a hundred more and probably get a better gun. It's just not worth being cheap with your gun that might save your life one day

Right, I'd take a Ruger handgun over a Hi Point. If I can't afford a full size, 300 ish is another for a small gun

I would never be caught with one...but for $129 for a brand new gun with a life time warrenty sounds like a steal to me...even a crappy S&W sigma go for $379.

Had a shooting in my city about five years ago. Started out as a road rage inccident. The two drivers took it to a nearby parking lot. One jumped out with a big stick. The other guy pulled out a Hi-Point and shot the stick wielder four times.

A bad gun is better than no gun, and can still gun. I'm still shocked by all the .32 Basque autos we found in Afganistan.

I have the carbine, and it's a fun, cheap, gun to shoot. If you accept what it is (a 9mm plinker) it's a great value. If I have to use a gun to defend my life, something has gone wrong. If, out of all of my guns, I have to use the carbine, something has REALLY gone wrong.
