WTB Hi-Point Carbine in 45ACP

[subseashooter]

Title says it all. One of my work buddies mentioned that his daughter shoots one, and I reckon that it'd be perfect size for the wife.

Not for the wife as she's not really into guns, but I Have been toying with the idea of the 9mm version for myself as a supplement to my M1 30 Cal carbine.

You will find that probably not many folks on this forum are fond of Hi Points so get ready. Rumor has it they shoot every time but they are ugly. Not giving an opinion, just what I've heard.

Just a dumb question but, why not just go to the store and buy one? For about $200 OTD...

I've read that the carbines are pretty reliable.

Standing by for after action report.

I'm not worried about looks, and I know a couple of folks on this forum that have brought them to shoots.

Considering the number of shoots I've made with folks from here, and the tiny percentage of folks from here that I personally know, odds are good that there are more.

Because I'm cheap if the gun's last name isn't "1911"

I have friends in KY who have both the 9 mm and .45 Hi-Point carbines, and have fired both on many occassions. They are ugly, and thier finish must be constantly cared for or they'll rust, but they are reliable, accurate, and built like a tank.

If I could find one at a reasonable price, I'd buy one.

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

Haven't bought a gun since moving back to Texas so I would assume that there is a back ground and tax to the $339 at Academy for the 9mm.

"back ground"? Transfer fee and tax, but I ain't letting anybody look into my background!!

I bought the 9mm carbine for a truck gun.

I've shot it around 300 rounds without a hiccup.

To me, it's so ugly it's beautiful.

I can not speak to the hi-point carbines, but their pistols I can speak to. In 15 years of teaching level III security and CHL/LTC , I have NEVER had a student with a hi-point make it through a 50 round course of fire without multiple malfunctions. Every single time I have had to supply the student with a gun that functions to finish the course of fire.

Based on my experience with their pistol platform, I would be very leery of anything they make, and doubly so of trusting one to save my life.

Sounds like maybe you shouldn't have spoken then




HiPoint pistols suck. Carbines aren't bad. Just clunky.

Once again, Younggun and I agree.

I almost (the carbine saying otherwise) always buy good to great quality from Colt to Browning to Sig and Glock.

The HP carbine (no, I wouldn't own one of their pistols) has it's place as a fun, inexpensive, good enough quality that it goes bang when it's supposed to.

As a truck gun, it's far, far better than simply having my handgun alone.

If my truck gets broken into and it's stolen, well, I'm not out much money. I'm damn sure not going to keep one of my customized, plus optics, Colt LE6920's worth mucho dollars available for theft. So, as a backup truck gun, it aint bad..

Would be interesting to see f one would complete a NRA Law Enforcement Instructor's course for carbines/ patrol rifle. Somehow I doubt it would make it through the 1300 rounds without major malfunctions.

I would not keep any gun I owned available for theft. Spend a couple of bucks if you are going to leave a gun in your vehicle unattended and make it just a little harder than breaking a window to steal it.

Should I find one, I'll torture test it WITH you.
