Just put one of these on laway at my local pawn - Page 2

Haven't personally fired one but the only negatives I hear are weight and appearance (usually referred to as ugly).

But if it's reliable for $150 then it's doing its job.

My brother's favorite gun is a CZ. But what gun does he always tald about when I call him? His Hi-point. He seems to get a big kick out of how well this inexpensive Pistol just keeps on trucking with such reliability Congrats to the OP!

I think Hi Point provides affordable firearms. There's nothing wrong with that. I've seen people have issues with them, usually magazine related, and I don't think I'd say they're the pinnacle of reliability or durability, but if that's what someone can afford they're usually better than people give them credit. I just don't put them on a pedestal.

Finally got to pic it up yesterday

taking it to the range today I'm very interested to see if the really heavy slide dampens recoil at all. Oh also I originally put a New one on layaway for the $159 but a month later they had a used one for $119 so I switched the layaway to the cheaper used one. So $127 out the door

Range report

Fired 40 rounds, recoil was less then expected. was very accurate, only two stoppages one failure to eject and the second failure to feed. the round nosed down in the magazine instead of feeding.

Only two stoppages? Nice.

Since it was used, I'll ask, did you clean and lube it before the trip to the range?

Maybe part of the function issues...

The warranty on a HiPoint is forever. The problem here is with a limited income you can only shoot it but so much to see what is going on. Shipping the gun back and forth isn't free either.

The upside is if you ever decide to sell it and upgrade you can get out of it what you have in it easily.
