Anyone have one of these guns. How does it shoot? For the price I thought about grabbing one, the rounds are cheap and it would make a good critter getter.

I had one of these a while back and it was a very accurate little gun. I shot it alot and never had any problems with it and I sold it to a friend of mine and he still shoting it with no problems. I would recomend it to anyone ecpecialy for what they cost.

It might not be the firing pin but just dirty like all autos the action will some times get gummed up from improper cleaning.

I haved put about 12000 rounds through mine since I got it several years ago when you could get 1000 rounds of FMJs for about 60 dollares or so (1 of the reasons I got it) and never had any real problems with it unless I dident clean it for a long time, and then after I did it went back to having no problems and mine gets tossed into the back of the truck or car trunk where it will often stay for extended lenghts of time till I feel like shooting it again

Also some times the mag spring will get weak after a while and cause misfires, again its another common problem with semiautos

For myself I am planning on buying another in a little bit and have no real worrys about it, Last gun show I was at they were running about 170 or so new so that way the wife can keep my old one and I will have some thing to shoot for fun to.

Awesome little gun, but uglier than hell! so i bought a replacement thumbhole stock off cheaperthandirt.com for like 70 bucks, now it looks sweet! altogether got about 170 bucks in the gun, and it is way more accurate than i thought it would be!

If you want a carbine in 9mm I'd go with Keltec's SUB-2000 over anything from Hi-Point.

Nothing wrong with the hi point if you are looking for cheap shooting after several years I still havent managed to wear mine out that being said I also have one of the Kel tec sub guns but mine is in .40 cal and have to say that they are sweet and the folding option is great my wife keeps it in her car in her trouble bag
