Hi point Haters

[bigcraig]

Anybody have a link to a competition holster rig for a hi point?!

No need for a specialized competition holster, any OWB holster that covers the trigger will work for USPSA.

I normally shoot in Limited division, but for the sake of fairness I will run my carry gun and gear in Production division if some enterprising person decides to take me up on the challenge.


The silence from the HP lovers is surprising.

If someone does take you up on that offer and whoop ya you will be kicking yourself in the butt for entirety

I'm not a competitive shooter. Do you have a link that tells about USPSA, and what is involved? I don't see any reason a Hi Point wouldn't handle it.

How much does it usually cost to get in to those shooting events? For entry fee and ammo?

I don't know if anybody will be in form or fit to beat BigCraig, but it looks like there are participants waiting to try the shoot with the Hi-Point!

Not likely, I get beat all the time, I will shrug it off, move on and learn from the experience.

I just dont feel a HP is worthy, and I am willing back up my statements with a friendly challenge.

I am sure there is some young whipper-snapper out there with a HP willing to put a beating on an old, fat, and broken man like me.

Somebody do it!

I am most likely older and fatter than you but next time I get to Indy I may have to give this a whirl. How many mags do you need for something like that? I currently only have one for my .45.

I would love to shoot in a match with a Hi-Point not even for the bet just to do it! Man I might have to get in on that!

I own the newer model Hi-point 9mm carbine...shoots great...eats anything you feed it and shoots 1-2 inch groups at 25 yds all day long. I paid $224.99 when they were on sale at Cabela's. Never owned one of their pistols...but I wouldn't hestitate to buy one...if the price was right.

Geez no matter where you go on the internet if somebody mentions or starts a Hi-point thread the masses go into a frenzy.

 

[Suprtek]

If I could buy whatever gun I want, would a HiPoint be my first choice?

Of course not.

Am I the least bit ashamed of owning a couple of them?

Not at all.

I think they are a great option if you want something to have a helluva lot of fun with without spending a lot of money. They are also great great guns to learn or experiment with for the same reason. I've never had any more concern about the reliability of my HiPoints than I've had about any other guns. I will say that the C9 is certainly not the most user friendly gun when it comes to cleaning and maintaining. It would be nice to have a take-down lever or at least a screw instead of a pin that has to be driven in and out of plastic each time. Then again, I'm sure this keeps their manufacturing costs down allowing them to offer lower prices so its a trade-off.

I've fired a few thousand rounds from both my C9 and my XD. They both still do the same thing they did when I bought them.

Hoping to buy a c9 9mm for nightstand gun. I have a buddy who has one and has never had any problems with his.This thread has definately convinced me that it will be a good purchase.

Have any of you guys that carry a Hi Point pistol for personal protection ever ran one in a training class? I'd be curious to hear how they work in a training environment.

Are you coming to PW3? If you do, I'll run mine in HK's training if I can find or borrow an appropriate holster for it...I ain't skeered!

I won't be attending, but that would be excellent!

However, I think he has a holster requirement that doesn't allow nylon/canvas, so you may be out of luck there.
