HI-Point .22 - would you buy it?

[White Horseradish]

No, it doesn't really exist. It's just a figment of my sick imagination.

I've been thinking. Hi-Points are probably the cheapest new handuns in the world. If they came in the cheapest caliber out there, would that not be the ultimate plinker? Plastic and alloy construction works fine in .22 rifles.

They would be so cheap, the NRA could give them away with memeberships instead of stupid hats...

So, if Hi-Point made a .22 pistol, would you buy it?

i have a Hi-Point C9 and a JHP45, why not add a 22lr to the list.

 

[Black Majik]

If I ain't gonna get a Hi-Point in 9mm, nor .45, I ain't gonna get one in .22 either.

[Flatfender]

They already make one. It's called the "Jennings"

hi point

sure would. i got a c9, jhp 45, and a 9mm carbine. ugly guns everyone of them, but they always go bang and they're the cheapest plinkers i've found.

 

[pauli]

hell, i've already got a p22.

 

[CajunBass]

If it worked as well as my 9mm Hi-Point, and I see no reason why it wouldn't I sure would.

 

[Crosshair]

I heard a rumor that Hi-Point is making a 45ACP carbine. I own the 9mm carbine and I LOVE IT. Rumor has it that they will cost about $260. Anyone have more info???

 

[Justin]

Absolutely not. I'm not in the market for a .22 right now, but if I were, it would be completely in the opposite direction.

 

[Shooter973]

HI-Point 22 ???

I guess I'm a gun-snob, but it would be insulting to put a Hi-point in the same safe as my Rugers, Colts, and S&W handguns. I have plenty of better handguns. No Hi-point anythings for me.

 

[hksw]

I've had pretty good results from my C-9 Comp, I'd be willing to give it a shot.

 

[Soap]

No way. Nearly anyone can afford a $200 gun if they really want to.

 

[denfoote]

The very thought is an affront to my senses!!

.22

The only down side I could see is that it would be too heavy for a good .22. That said, my Heritage .22 revolver is the same weight as my .45 Hi Point. Go figure.

I think it would be a great idea for Hi-Point to make a .22 so more people would be introduced into shooting for a small price. Too many "experts" tell newbies to buy a .357 and shoot .38 specials, or to buy a 1911 .45. Hi-Point offers inexpensive, not cheap, weapons for home defense and plinking in a nice variety of calibers, why not add a .22 to their lineup.

Buy American!

They're ugly, ungainly, and they work, consistently. If it were my only option, I wouldn't let it pass me by.

 

[WillBrayJr]

I said it once and I'll say it again

 

[WarMachine]

I can't say that I would. While I'm all for a good product at a low price, my Ruger's fulfill that role very nicely.

While the carbine isn't that bad, the pistols literally make me want to

I am not a gun snob by any means (Lord knows I don't have the funds to be one), but they do NOT appeal to me at all.

 

[Ala Dan]

Absolutely NOT! If for no other reason, its more ugly than a Glock~
