I have never liked HI-Points, rifles and pistols. I swore I would never own a HI-Point but, there was a 9mm carbine at my local gun store for $125. It was missing the rear sight and the front post. Just the same, I took it out back and put 50 rounds through it. It worked fine and, what's more, I was actually able to hit swingers at 60 yards by holding on top of what was left of the front sight. It was actually a lot of fun to shoot.
I just bought one of my never buy guns

Hi-Point 9.....
I agree with all three of you. My 9 Carbine works fine, (although I've never gotten used to the wooden knob on the left side), I'm glad I have mine! Who'd ever known!

My Hi point 9mm carbine is one of the funnest guns to shoot that I own. I made the same vow years ago but a friend of mine bought one sub $250. After watching him giggling like a school girl shooting out bulls eyes at 50 yards, I bought one as well.
No problem on the site. A red dot site will take care of it.... have fun with it!

Before even opening this thread I knew it would be a Hi-point carbine.

the factory sights are nothing on the gun that matters. throw a cheap red dot on it and have some fun. if you reload the gun will show it's true capabilities. put the 147gr in it for long range out to 100yrds it will shoot clays all day.

I can't sell my HP .45acp only because it is the only semi auto rifle I own that's 99.99% reliable. I reload for it and sometimes shoot LSWC 's and it just runs.

I know I was thinking the exact same thing: has to be about a Hi-Point carbine.
Great to hear that they work and all, just have no interest in ever aquiring one.

Somebody in another thread said you could somehow get/make one in 10mm. Now THAT would be interesting, assuming function was normal. I've got a G20 for a house gun. Perfect companion piece.
Guess I could get one in .45 to go with my 1911...

Hi Cap Mag......
I do appreciate the question, and maybe somebody can respond now. I hope so. Right now, I'm trying to get this cap off this bottle of milk of mag. Maybe I can get back to you later?

I would probably have left the Hi Point. That stainless .270 700 w/that scope for $250? What's wrong with it or who in your family gave it to you!?
Hi-point warranty
It turns out that they have a no questions asked warranty. I think I am going to have to check it out. The pistol grip likes to separate when a mag is inserted. Maybe I will get lucky and they will replace the old style stock for the new one along with new sights.

IraqiVeteran8888 is pretty much pioneering this. They've gotten the .40 pistol to work reliably with 10mm and are working on the carbine as well.
But, wow. A buck twenty-five for one of those is an awesome deal. I don't think i would have been able to say no either... With more than enough money left over between street price to pretty it up with an aftermarket stock and such--
