Portability and discretion.
Point?
It is? Do you have similar fears about "scary" handguns?

Agreed--Usually when I hear the term "scary" associated with guns it's verbiage (better known as BS) coming from the 'Left.' Whether or not I do fold my Sub and store it in a suitcase, duffle-bag etc. I still find it incredibly practical but in no way "scary"Portability and discretion.

Those who call the HiPoint ugly haven't looked around lately. If you put the new C9 compact beside the current crop of plastic 9's, SIG, Glock, Springfield, HK, etc you can hardly tell the difference. And the carbine is no worse looking than the others.

Practical? Hogwash. Left? No, I'm right-handed, thanks for asking. Do I find a hidden weapon, that ISN'T MINE scary? He'll yes, you don't? I love you guys as human beings, but i don't trust any of you. The only safe gun to me is the one I'm carrying. You don't have to be LEFT to be cautious, and it's that segregated thinking that keeps us losing ground with anti gun lobbyists. Jackasses carrying carbines folded up in a duffel, suitcase, heck stuffed down your pants isn't just ridiculous, it's impractical at best. Sell me on the different magazines that a Subby takes, not how it folds. No optics, no reason to fold it, and that charging handle location is about dumb.Agreed--Usually when I hear the term "scary" associated with guns it's verbiage (better known as BS) coming from the 'Left.'

What point are you looking for, cuz you got it already. Bought it cuz it was light, and what's YOUR point?
I fear no handgun I'm in control of, respect ones that are static, and I am cautious when someone
else is in control of one. If that's "left", sign me up.
Alas, once again, I digress from the OP. Call me what you will gentlemen, and quote only what you think will justify your posts. Im not going to throw this any farther off topic than I have. I've started a poll, vote if you like.

Case in point, Dave. You'd make a good writer...for National Inquirer. Read what I write, and it's less interesting. Quote what works, and you look like a clever chap. Glad to have made your day sir. Im glad you enjoy your carbine, and that you are avfellow shooter with an identity and an opinion. I have mine, and I've stated it. Quoting partial information stated for public view? Dave, sounds like Janet Reno. Ewww.
If I'm in need of further insult, PM me. I would not want to damage this thread further.

My partial quotes retained the entire essence of what you said and you know it. But if you insist.....
How is having a long gun becoming more compact for ease of discreet transportation not practical?
Irrelevant.

Funny how not correcting "he'll" to the intended "hell," not deleting "you don't?" or "I love you guys as human beings, but" (the last being identified with several periods in a row) doesn't change the meaning of what you said in my partial quote, much less my response to it.
Ah, so YOU are the only person who can be safe with guns.
Jackasses? I thought we were on the same side.
I don't care if you fold yours or not, so no reason to "sell" you on the idea.
Only if you don't understand how to run the gun properly.
That there are other reasons besides its weight, but more importantly, to recognize that just because other people find certain features desirable that you pompously do not, does not make them a "jackass."
Do you get nervous when in proximity of police officers?
You sound like an elitist gunowner: YOU can have guns, because only YOU are safe with them and because you aren't a "jackass" because you don't fold a folding gun.

PM me sir. You're grasping for an argument. You like the S2K, I don't. Let it go, so people can express themselves here. If you would like to discuss your politics, I invite you to message me personally. I appreciate your views, just don't agree with some of them. I've reread what I've posted, and I see nothing out of order.
With that, a non-leftist to another, if you wish to continue, you know my user name and how to message me. Thank you, sir.

Whatever.
I bet you're against concealed carry, too.
Back to the OP, one thing about the Hi-Point carbine is lack of high capacity magazines. The elitists disagree about the "need" of such devices, but we Peons cherish such things, so it's not a small consideration.

I have a Mech-Tech carbine that I put a Para Ordnance frame on, chambered in .45 ACP. I have a couple 18 rd mags for it, topped off with a red dot sight.
It's fun to shoot, has a nice trigger and makes 50 yd shots easy for even the occasional shooter.
It doesn't fold, but it's still pretty cool!

"I have always been amused and puzzled by the circular argument used by the anti-Hi Point folks:
"I don't own a Hi Point because they are worthless junk which is proven by the fact that I don't own a Hi Point because if I did it wouldn't be junk but it is junk because I don't own a Hi Point...", and around and around.
Especially amusing was the comment by one poster that "They are junk, total junk. I have never seen one, but everyone on the xxx site says they are no good."
I did note the comment by the man who claims to be an instructor and sees repeated problems with Hi Points. My feeling is that the problems are due to limp wristing and the solution lies not with Hi Point, but with a more competent instructor.

I owned one and it was junk...I traded it for ammo.
