Hi-Point and Steel Ammunition

[Blue Brick]

Before I buy, just to clarify steel cased ammunition is a no go in a Hi-Point right?

 

[W.E.G.]

What???

Where did you hear that?

You can drive a 3/8" bolt into the muzzle of a Hi-Point, and fire blue-pill loads in it, and it will survive.

What do you think plain vanilla steel-case ammo is going to do to it?

I've never fired steel cased ammo in mine, but haven't seen anything saying it's a no no. I'd say you're probably okay. If it does something to the gun, they're supposed to have great service and a great warranty (though I've never needed it with mine so I can't speak from experience).

I would not be too worried about breaking a hi-point in any case. Not that I believe that steel case ammo is bad for a gun, but just in case it is you would probably save the cost of a new hi-point before too long.

Crap gun, crap ammunition. Seems like a match made in heaven.

Both Hi Points I have owned ran fine with steel cases, brass cases, aluminum cases.

No more or less than with any other gun. Maybe better, the cycling process is less complicated.

Thank you that was so helpful.

Crap contribution (or lack of.)

I owned a C9 a few years ago.
It fired nothing but steel cased russian 9mm.

I have 3 - 995 carbines and they all shoot steel cased ammo as well as brass cased.

I use steel-cased Russian ammo in my HP Carbine all the time; no reason at all not to use it in any HP.
