I had the .40 model, didnt like it
Yes there is, I was referring to pistols not the carbine. For around $500 you can get a better gun, not arguing the point, it's a simple fact.
Read the rest of my statement. I've had a Glock. I've had several Smiths. I've even had two Sigs, an HK, and a EAA Witness. They all had issues with jamming every now and then. The Hi-Point I'VE used, never did. In fact, the Glock was the worst of the bunch. It would not only fail to feed, but it stopped firing all together. After only 500 rounds. I know that's unusual for a Glock. But still......
Your mileage may vary.
There's a 9mm Hi-Point sitting in my safe.
My son bought it in a pinch a couple years ago.
He shoot a few boxes thru it without problem.
I hooked him up with a Kahr so the HP sits in the safe.
I think I'll dig it out and see how it performs.
To me they look just like a Glock............jes' kiddin'

I've had both as well.
A couple of things:
The C9 wasn't exactly a one-handed field strip exercise, it was pretty stupid to take apart, but possible. Heavy, but I never had a single problem out of it. No FTF/FTEs. Keep it clean!
The carbine was the same. It was left in the sun on the shooting table one hot summer afternoon and the sun had warped the stock like a macaroni noodle. But after it cooled off, it was straight as new again.
Fun guns, not the easiest to break down and build up, but not impossible by any means. Wouldn't use them in competitions or for CCW, but keep them clean clean clean and if they're like mine, they'll take care of you, too.
I never had to use it, but I've heard Hi-Point has some amazing customer service. If you do some internet searching on the best ways to field strip them, you'll come across stories of people who weren't able to put theirs back together. They called Hi-Point and they sent out a shipment box, accepted the gun, and returned it to them reassembled.
With all the quality used platforms out there, there's no reason to consider a hi-point for home defense. If someone wants to take a gamble on them for fun then so be it. I don't see how anyone could think they are fun to shoot given their accuracy but that's just me.
I'm not taking a gamble, I have full confidence in my guns capability to defend me and my family. I don't know where you kooks get the idea that these things are unreliable, the only thing I hear from actual owners is rave reviews of their reliability. The only bashing i've heard comes from people that have never owned one.
And accuracy? I can pull a 3 inch group at 50 yards with mine. Shooting pistol ammo at that range i'd say thats pretty damn good for a gun I paid $180 for.
No need to resort to name calling. If you love your hi-point, more power to you, but we aren't calling your wife ugly so simmer down (well ok, some guys like their guns more than their wives so I can see the sensitivity...LOL).
See my earlier post about reliability...what is your standard of reliability, and what conditions have you used to test it?
Not flaming, I'm really curious. Reliability means different things to different people.
Kooks? Would that include the 40% catastrophic failure rate from the ones OPS had? I equate hipoint to about 1/2 step above bryco, jennings, raven and jimenez. It baffels me why someone would pay amlost $200 for one when a quality platform would cost $1-200 more. 3 inch groups at 50'? Is that a pistol or carbine?
