I have gotten mixed reviews on the handguns Hi Point makes. I see you can get them for under $200 .With a life time warranty I dont know how you can go wrong. I think Im going to buy one. Let me know what you all think.

couldnt hit the brood side of a barn if u were inside it there made by inmates in prison they tend to jam alot if u run out of ammo at least u got somthing to throw at them go the extra 200$ or so an get the berreta 92 series i cared this as my side arm in desert storm no problems av took alot of abuse

i had a 380 auto and never had any problems with it. It never jammed or anything like that but it just didnt feel good. They make pretty good guns there carbines are realy nice and very accurate.

I was thinking about getting one in a 9mm caliber for the lady.
I own a Glock 40 pretty happy with that,but the hi point is more in my price range. Ive carried the Beretta, OEF-OIF, never did fire it. I wanted to buy the HI Point because its american.

I have had my Hi-point .40 for about 5 years now.It shoots pretty good,no where nar as bad as some let on.I went to the rang with 2 buddies.One with a Sig 9mm and the other a G27.Needless to say I shoot much better than both with my pistol...and theirs.

The only issue I have is the magazine.I keep it loaded 24/7 The spring has worn out and it jams because the spring isn't feeding correctly.A new magazine and the issue was resolved.

I have a Hi-Point .40 that i keep in the truck console.Never had a jam with mine.My only complaint is the're a little big and heavy.

I hear good things from people who own them. If I can get my hand on one im going to buy it. Found a 9mm but the guy wanted 200 for it.

I bought mine for 160.00

Look around as the 9mm should be a little cheaper than what I spent on the .40

200 is pretty high for the pistol.

Keep looking, I bought my .40 cal Hi Point for $85.00. They are good guns, but as said earlier the are a bit big and heavy. I got mine to throw in the truck.

NOt bad for the price, iv'e seen the 9mm for about $95. But if I was u I'd spend a little extra and get a little better quality pistol.

Thats is good advice. I bought mine because it was cheap. The Ruger SR9 is one great shooting pistol and you can find them for around $275 and they are American made. My only other choice woul be a Kimber 1911

I had the 380 and the 9 mm but sold both of them. Put a lot of rounds though both of them with no problems. For the money, its hard to beat the value.

I bought a Hi Point 9mm a few years ago, haven't shot it yet. It cost a tad over $200 new. Only thing I didn't like from the start is that you can't just push a button and flip a lever to take it apart, you have to pop a pin out to disassemble it. If you like cleaning your guns after shooting them, this makes it inconvenient. But, Hi Point recommends cleaning only after 500 rounds.

Oops!, Its a .45 not a 9mm, lol

hawkdog if you cant hit the broad side of a barn u need a shotgun. my cuz has two 9 mm and i was hitting apples from 30 yards away first time i shot it. so they do shoot good. they just dont have that big name like a glock or smith they are a excellent gun for the price.

If it aint blue it aint true

I've got a high point 9 that I've had for about 10 years and have shot it probably 100 times and have never had a jam. I carry it sidearm during bow season for coyotes but have not shot at anything but a copperhead, which i split the head open at 15 yards. It's by no means a 100 yard gun, but few pistols (much less 100 dollar pistols) are.It is a little heavy, but I figure if someone breaks into my house and is still moving after I empty the clip, I can bludgeon them to death with the gun itself.
