If that on the side is a safety as it seems to be, where's the slide release lever?
And what's the function of that button/switch near the end of the pistol grip?

You want food. You look at your options, and decide on the cheapest restaurant. When you get there to pick up your order it's literally a takeout box of human shit. When you ask about it, the owner says "no no it's okay it's warrantied for life no matter what as long as we're in business if you have any problem with it bring it back we'll fix it or replace it for free" and if he replaces it for you, all he's done is taken a new shit in the box and this time there's corn in it.

So that's okay with you?

For the niche it fills (a dirt cheap way of protecting yourself) it is pretty much as good as it could be or as could be expected, but if you can afford better you're plain stupid for sticking with a hipoint. It's for those who can't afford a better gun, but don't want to be pulling lint out of their pockets in self defense.

I'd carry a Hi point before a GRIP ZONE
>>
>>29221454

Same for Glocks. Hi Points are basically Glocks tier guns.

>>29221512
If I remember correctly, the slide release and safety are the same lever on the side.

The gun doesn't fire with the lever is all the way up with the slide forward. The follower pushes the lever up after the last round is fired and it hooks onto the slide notch about half way up.

>>29221450
Proprietary 10rd mags. Not great ergos. Decent gun for the price, but if they added $50 onto it and made it take glock or 92fs and dressed her up a bit they'd be the leading gun seller in the US

As a resident of Dayton, I can tell you right now that Wright Patt is not worth it for the nigger infestation.

Beavercreek is nice, though.

The safety is also the slide release

I can see a number of things going wrong there

As a resident of Cincinnati, I share this sentiment.

Plenty of ranges though.

Man, I have to drive out 18 miles to Vandalia to go shooting. At least it's a really nice range.

Top-heavy

>>29221450
Heavy as fuck.
Shit trigger.
Shit safety.
Prone to slide bite.
Shit ergos.
Proprietary rail.
Expensive mags.
Awful capacity.
Terrible sights.
Useless slide serrations.
90% plastic, 9001% literal pot-metal.
Hit-or-miss QC.
No aftermarket.
Requires punch and mallet to strip.
Hard to shoot with thick gloves.
Unreliable with hollowpoints.
Slick as hell grips.
Odd feeling recoil impulse.

What a shit analogy, "lifetime warranty for a consumable perishable item" doesn't equate in any way.

>go to harbor freight and buy a cheap drill press
>oh wow its got a lifetime warranty, if any of the parts break or there is a manufacturing defect they will replace my drill press! What a great deal, I'm paying for something cheap that won't last long and isn't as high quality as the competitors products (3-4x the price at minimum), and they'll replace it because they know it's cheap!

Also kill yourself for being a moron.

I had a c9 just to see what it was like.

Locking the slide back is a bitch.

Grip screws strip easily.

Single stack mag.

Disassembly requires a punch to knock out a pin.

The halo sight felt like it was made for a toy. Didn't break but felt like it could easily.


Pros:

I bought it for $125 and sold it for $125.

It worked.

There's a reason they used that much material, because the material is weak as fuck.

Met a dude today what unironically owns one. He bought it when he was 21 because he lived in a rough hood and didn't gang gang.
He fucking loves the thing. Told me we should go to the range some time so I can teach him to shoot long guns and I said absolutely.
Can't wait to shoot a hi-point for the first time. I'm memorizing chief keef quotes for the GoPro footage.

It's large and heavy compared to other guns with a similar capacity and capability. I certainly would not want to use one for a carry piece.

Can't say I'm much surprised.

if you ever held one you wouldn't have made this thread
hi points are fine for their price, you pay for what you get. a gun that works, but feels horribly cheap and heavy in all the wrong places.

Too top heavy, poor grip shape, low capacity, cheap materials, retarded teardown procedure, blowbacl action not the best for that chambering

Nope.

They're decent overall. If I was On a very tight budget, I would trust my life with one. However that doesn't mean I wouldn't want to buy a nicer weapon for more money.
