hi-point 9mm carbines?

[deerslayer.ace]

has anyone had any luck with these guns? they have great prices on them, but are they any good. I realize prices usally mean alot with the quality of any firearm. Any past experience or knowledge with these guns would be appreciated.Thanks.

Gun Test magazine did a comparison with them vs. the Ruger carbine a few years ago.The Hi Point blowed the Ruger away in all catagories.For general plinking,they're fun,would be better with a high capacity magazine.I've never owned one(just to ugly for my taste)but have shot several and they're ok.I wouldn't depend on it as a defensive weapon but for punching paper and killing coke cans its good to go.

I've got a Kel-Tec Sub 2000 in .40 that uses Glock 22 magazines. It's been very reliable and is easy to bump-fire if you just want to waste some ammo. I like that it folds up small enough to fit in a laptop case or briefcase. The 9mm would be cheaper to shoot but I already had the G22 so I wanted one that shared mags and got the .40.

They are worth the money. I've had several but they don't handle real good. Kinda heavy and bulky. But they are fairly accurate.
