Are hi points really that bad in terms of use or is it just people hating because of the xbox size frame and the popularity in use by criminals?
Also what brand of 9mm would work best with right out of the box hi point?
What could you do with a hi point besides paint jobs in terms of accessories and attachments?

It's a good cheap gun for literally poorfags and also for ammo brand go for high power loads because of the built design soft loads won't work

Hipoint pros
1: they dont explode
2: there ARE more inaccurate weapons out there
3: cheap. Like dirt cheap. Like, buy one, use it to rob a liquor store, throw it away, and still make profit cheap.
Cons:
1: use zinc where there should be aluminum, uses plastic where there should be polymer
2: due to the above its not unheard of for them to start wearing out after only a few hundred rounds.
3: due to the above this is where the "hipoints are unreliable" thing comes from. They wear out and start failing quickly.
4: ugly as fuck.
They are NOT weapons you should shoot heavily or carry every day. If you are so poor you cant even afford a glock and need a gun this is something that will go bang to keep in the drawer next to your bed or toss in your cars glove box.
Or tuck in to the waistband of the pants you wear around your ass concientiently covered by the T-shirt that reaches your knees cuz you a mad thug gangsta rappuh an you gonna take yo problem solver an go show jamal that this street corner be YOUR place to sell rock.
Due to being cheap as fuck the white trash, dindus, cholo's, and assorted low income bottom feeding shitheads tend to grab em up further dissuading anyone with enough cash to warrant posessing a wallet from wanting to own one.

Yeah, stupid cause legal issues, but he ain't calling no cops, you're the one with the gun.
Ive ventured into the hood many times, now I take my .45 with me.
I'm white so its not aproblem solver, its a problem preventer. I'm retired, fuck work...keep in line or die.

>uses plastic where there should be polymer
to you, what is the difference between the two?
>>29312920
By all accounts the carbines are underrated. They have the best price for effectiveness as a weapon that I've ever heard of.
>>29313300
So basically hi points don't last as long as a regular pistol say a glock or a M1911 would?
>>29314419
This little guy only cost 5 bucks a unit.
>>29312920
It has poor ergonomics, it's far too heavy, capacity is low, and it has a bad trigger.
It will go bang every time, but that's about its only redeeming feature.
You should get a Smith & Wesson Sigma 9mm for about 300 dollars.

>Are hi points really that bad in terms of use
I own one, so here's my 2ยข.
their use of blowback with service caliber rounds makes the gun have more felt recoil than it should and it tends to limp wrist.
further, bad QC with mags causes the weapon to jam alot.
also, the size IS an issue. a single stack 9mm should be a CCW weapon....not a full sized handgun.
>>29315031
Okay, smartass, but out of weapons available now.
The hipoint carbine has the best price to effectiveness for any new firearm available today. Better?
>>29314255
Think they meant reinforced polymers vs a weak plastic. Things like the safety are known to snap off like mexican nerf gun parts
>>29312920
>Are hi points really that bad in terms of use
Well. They are definitely bad. But they are not THAT bad. I just shot mine today, it grouped... poorly but did group. I'd have no trouble hitting a dude at ~15 yards.
>Also what brand of 9mm would work best with right out of the box hi point?
Didn't seem to like Tula steel cased much, but did run Federal aluminum without a hiccup. Ditto for Blazer brass.
Only reliable malfunction that I can replicate every time is limpwrist jams. Basically, if you grip it loose and let the recoil push the gun back and up too much it'll fail to feed. Other than that it occasionally seems to FTF on poly coated steel because the surface of the cases is too rough. Several of my other guns do this.
>What could you do with a hi point besides paint jobs in terms of accessories and attachments?
Spare mags obviously.
Remove the magazine disconnect safety first thing. It's useless and the trigger is actually very nice without it.
Be sure to dial the sights in. They are drift adjustable so there's a chance they're not zeroed from the factory.
Other than that, maybe some skateboard tape on the grips? They're a little slick.

Glock definitely not. 1911 depends on the one. Hi-Points are very over engineered on a lot of their high stress parts but went really cheap on some of the little shit. I'd like to see what a 10-100k round example would look like. Maybe the Zamak slide would start to deform eventually.
>>29315031
5 bucks in 1940s dollars*

I think they limited it to single stack in order to have cheaper magazines that aren't as bad as they could be (imagine the same terrible quality on a double stack) and secondarily to limit the usefulness of this weapon for criminal elements. They do a lot of things to make Hi-Points shitty crime guns, like embedding a secondary serial number plate in the frame.
The no questions asked warranty is also a great way to track down stolen guns.

A $200 Hi-Point with about four hundted more dollars painted on it.
that color scheme
lie and tell my family it was a glock 40
>>29313300
haven't they got a lifetime warranty though? if they fail after a few hundred rounds, no big deal, right?
>>29317028
the safety is made of steel...
>>29312920
I need that original picture

In my neck of the woods the loggers have a good way of looking at cheap gear, in this case, chainsaws.
Say you are a logger, you need a new chainsaw right? But maybe there was a jew or two in your anscestry so you get lookin at two saws, a homelite and a husquavarna. The husky is about 800 while the homelite is about 500. You go "gee, same size, same bar, same chain, why the hell not?"
And you buy the el-cheapo homelite. Now a good saw wears out after a season or two, if you actually have some mechanical aptitude maybe it lasts 3 seasons, or 4 If you put good oil in it and dont mind some extra smoke near the end.
The homelite breaks 4 weeks into the first season, just shits out and dies. Now, you cant miss work so waiting on that warranty it came with aint an option so now you have to buy another saw to replace it. You would have actually saved money just buying the good saw in the first place.
Same for guns. Buy a decent handgun and never have to worry, or buy a taurus or a hipoint and always be a bit concerned that the thing you bought to protect your life might need to be sent in at any moment.
In the immediacy hipoint is cheaper, in the long run a more distinguished weapon is actually more worth it.
But hipoint market isnt serious gun owners. They prey almost exclusivley off of three groups, first time buyers, people to ignorant to care, and people too poor to buy a real gun.

For an extra 80 bucks you can get a sccy cpx 2
>>29312920
Aren't those what niggers use? That should answer that.
>>29320233
so that you can attach a firearm to it.
>>29313300
You forgot the lifetime replacement warranty.
