Hi-point

[Wreck-n-Crew]

If I do ever break it, i send it back to Ohio, they make it right again, and usually throw in a new mag for your troubles. No other handgun company has a warrnate like that.

Actually they do. More than one company has Warranties as good, but that doesn't take anything away from a hi-point. Hi-Point is the most reliable cheap handgun made in the US i have ever owned or fired and not traded.

In a word, based on my personal experience.....yes.

It's big and ugly but, before I traded it for a S&W 9mm, mine went "bang" every time I pulled the trigger. Put 1000 rounds down the pipe with no problems.

I've shot bunch of hi-points in numerous calibers. They're ugly, heavy, and they WORK!

I picked up a high point .40 cal carbine for $100. I can't help but chuckle everytime I pull the trigger. Its extremely ugly, heavy, bulkY BUT ACCURATE. I couldn't believe at 50 yards using 180gr. lead with 4.5gr of Bullseye I could hit the target, let alone get all 10 rounds in a pretty good group. So for a bedside or fun gun.....GO FOR IT!!!

Do they pay for the postage to and from? Nothing against Hi-Point, but other companies (Ruger, Smith & Wesson and SIG are companies) do. The high cost of mailing a pistol is especially relevant when mailing inexpensive handguns-a couple of shipments to the company to resolve a warranty issue and you will be forking out more money than the pistol is worth, "free" magazine included.

For the cost of one vs the aforementioned , you could afford to send it. Dropped mine and messed up the sight and they sent me another one. Need a part ...call them..need it fixed call them.
I think comparing them as the best cheapest gun in America would be sufficient.

Remington will pay the postage. Bersa will not.

Yes, my HiPoint 45 works very well. If you run out of bullets it will make a heck of a weapon if you have to throw it at someone....

I've got a C9 and Carbine 9mm. As with most everyone else on here, they are ugly but they go bang everytime. I'm wanting a carbine in .45acp next lol.

[Garycw]

I've accumulated quite s few of them over the years. .380, two 9.mm. (1) comp. model and three carbines. .40 & two 9mm the all work perfect and the carbines are surprisingly accurate. Made in OHIO!

I have always joked with people, If I run out of ammo, I can always throw the empty pistol and that brick will do about as much damage as a 230 gr FMJ

You first run out of ammo with your rifle or shotgun and then you pull out your pistol. When you empty the pistol, you hope it is a Haskell so you can use it to dig the foxhole deeper while you reload the rifle or shotgun.

On the other hand you can toss the Haskell and yell granade.

I do believe if you can score an old heavy Haskell in .45ACP and marked as a Haskell for under a hundred bucks it will be a somewhat collectible in the future. They still make them but lighter and marked as HiPoints.

It has all the makings for a relatively collectible pistol with moderate value increases. Just my opinion, but I told you so.

Lets face it, the Glock was designed around its style and later perfected.

I am serious about its collectibility only if marked Haskell.
