HI POINT CARBINE
- Thread starter elmosdad

cheap, ugly, heavy, shoots pretty good, better than expected. I bought mine about 4 years ago when I though I couldn't find/afford a Kel-Tec Sub2000 and wanted a 9mm carbine. I also have the 45acp version which is also cheap, ugly, heavy, shoots pretty good.
Like Jaybird said.....".heavy and ugly". But, I found it to be reasonably accurate out of the box. And, I actually enjoy shooting it. And, if it malfunctions (have had no malfunctions on mine), you can beat someone to death with it and probably not even hurt it. It is solid.
I was advised that, if you buy extra mags for it, stick to the HiPoint mags. Some aftermarket mags don't run well in them.

Better than you would think, but Hi Point made a bonehead move by making them single stack. The whole idea of a PCC is lots of rounds on target fast. You can't do that if there aren't lots of rounds in the gun.
A friend has an older one, built in late 1990s.
I've been shooting with him and fired it.
It's reliable, at least with FMJ range ammo. I don't think he's ever tried HP bullets thru it.
It's accurate. Tighter groups than any open-sighted defensive handgun will give you.
The action is stiff and gritty, even when clean and lubed. It's obviously a cheap gun that's not polished before leaving the factory.
The trigger pull is much heavier then you would expect for a single action semi auto, but it is manageable --especially considering this is a rifle which makes it more and apparently stable than a handgun.
The magazine is only hold 10 rounds, but they are cheap. I think my friend has several of them that he keeps loaded and handy for home defense.
The ergonomics of the stock, the pistol grip, and the sights were all fine for me; I have no complaints.

My wife has had one since 2007. She's a small women so her Hi-Point .9mm meets her needs. I even bought her a AR-15, but she complains it's to heavy, so likes her Hi-Point rifle.
Thanks guys..........
Hi-Point makes a firearm in 0.9 mm?
Must be good for shooting flies on windows without breaking the glass.
Buy one - for plinking its a really good time. I now own 2 and have never had an issue with FTF/FTE. It is more accurate than I would've ever thought. Bought my first from Dahlonega gun & pawn for $200 OTD which I couldnt pass up.
