High Point jcp .40 S&W thoughts
I purchased this, brand new, at an auction yesterday. Reviews online seem to be favorable on accuracy, but not on looks. Any thoughts? Also, I can't seem to find any updated pricing info for this gun. Any help would be appreciated.

Mine works fine.
Here's i describe one....Big, ugly, heavy, accurate, reliable, good warranty,Best cheap heavy 40S&W you will probably ever own. Oh yeah did i mention magazine sticks out too far, and should have been a double stack

I have 2000+ rounds through my JCP. I had an issue with magazine and found out the ones with the orange follower work better. I even used mine for USPSA a few times.

Thanks
Thanks for such quick responses. Sounds like an accurate gun that will last me a long time. I would love to trade for a decent revolver, but if the price tops out at $200 new, I don't think anyone will be eager to trade. Looks like I have a new home defense pistol. And an excuse to start reloading my own shells.

For what it is it's a decent gun... Cheap, ugly, poor design, poor quality, heavy, oversized, gun for those who can't afford a Glock.

I'd like to see how a gun of "better" quality costing four times as much would do in this particular Hi-Point destruction attempt. http://www.handgunsmag.com/2011/05/3...ak-a-hi-point/

High Point jcp .40 S&W thoughts

The 9mm pistol isn't bad, if it had the trigger safety would look like a Glock. The carbines are a blast to shoot! The .40 & .45 pistols are huge and a pretty good weapon even when not loaded. |

I'm actually looking for a good deal on a 9mm pistol to run some of my own tests on it. If you know of any for sale, send em my way.... I just may have to eat my words. Ike |

I will admit, after the vids I saw on youtube by Iraqveteran8888 this pistol looks almost indestructible and is equally as accurate as glocks. But alas, I would much rather have a .357 mag or .44 mag with a long barrel. I will use it proudly until I can find the right trade.

Forget the trade, you won't get that much out of a used Hi-Point anyway. Just save your pocket change, and mad money for the revolver. Even the much maligned Hi-Point is worthy of my #1 rule.
