So who's got em? I doubt they are available abroad... Nothing like plastic and sheet metal stampings firing pistol rounds to excite an otherwise boring day, correct?

I have each of the pistol calibers, and the 9mm carbine tricked out w/ scope, laser sight, and foregrip. I'm reasonably pleased with it. It was much easier to sight in than my Ruger mini 30...granted the mini-30 is more rifle than carbine, but still...

Who likes pistolas for $140-$180?

Hmm sounds like a fun day. Maybe you and I should make a day of it and maybe talk over some business, as it seems my website project is about to take off.

[Demosthenes]

Nothing like a day at the range while talking business I always say...

Hi-Point can suck my balls. It's all about the Calicos, baby:






That's some fuckin' sci-fi shit right there.

[Demosthenes]

Have you ever fired one Zero?

If so, have you fired a Hi-Point?

I could care less about what looks cool as opposed to what is affordable and "works well enough for the money".

[Zerogouki]

Hey, if I'm going to be shooting shit, I want to look as badass as possible while I'm doing it.

[Demosthenes]

Just go post innane shit in Gorkiy please.

In all honesty i'd steer clear of Hi-Point.

Compromising for less than quality weapons is less beneficial than simply investing for a quality product from companies with good reps that will back up their stuff with good service and support.

S&W, Sig-Sauer, H&K, and Glock are all infinitely better IMO.

I don't know Red, my experience with Hi-Point has been rather good considering the price. I don't care for the larger calibers, but the 9mm is actually very accurate, and the 9mm carbine is serviceable considering what it is. I was actually modifying the carbine, and messed it up. I called the company, they put me online with a tech who talked me through not only a fix he whipped up in no time, but a better solution for my "tricking out".

I know what you're saying about the big boys. There is no doubt that they deserve the rep they have. I'd buy all H&K if I could actually. But I can't and so far I've had decent luck with Hi-Points at sometimes 5 times less price.

If I could buy a FN five-seven I would do so without hesitation, as well as the companion P-90 (or PS-90 since I'm a dirty civvie).
