Hypothetical for the brand bashers out there

[Sniper X]

My observation is that most if not all of those who brand bash, if pressed never had a item from the company they are bashing. They are usually describing something they heard which could or could not be from someone who actually had a sample of the brand either. I hear this all the time on another board about Range Rover vehicles, everyone who i have heard negative stuff from never personally owned one.

Another thing I might mention, I also think a lot of brand bashing is form a disgruntled client of a brad who possibly had a problem due to either their own negligence or outright abuse, and wasn't covered by warranty or service because of it. Plus, it al ways seems to be only bad stuff we hear when someone has a bad experience, we almost never hear the good stuff.

Well then, they must be perdy thin skinned. I didn't realize that some gun owners liked to be stroked so much

Yeah? Try bashing a Kimber. See how people come to their defense... do that to any gun and people will come to the guns defense. Do a search on "fill in the blank" gun sucks, or biggest POS and you will see EVERY manufacturer show up many times.

The biggest problem with Hi Point is the Fat Chick / Moped syndrome.

Everyone says... They do what they are supposed to, go bang every time but I would never buy one. Ok, other then having your priorities out of whack it is like riding a Moped... they are fun, everyone wants to ride it but no one wants their buddies to see them. Not that they do not function and perform as they are designed, it is mostly about the vanity of the rider. The moped is not designed to be a race bike, nor is the Hi Point designed to be a CCW or Competition gun.

Now, I have seen some good reports on the drawbacks of the blow back design, the clumsy feel and the fact they cannot be taken down without tools. Good valid reasons to not buy a gun. But, to say... I would never buy one because they are ugly... well... that argument seems less then well thought out.

It's not an argument; it's an admittedly subjective (but well thought-out) viewpoint. It's been said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Well, so is ugly and, to my eye, the Hi-Point is one very ugly firearm. Ugly enough to make a Glock look downright pretty.

Before you label me a Hi-Point "basher", read my earlier post where I'm agreeing with the sentiment that all firearms are intriguing and that I've never met one I didn't like...well, almost never.

Hey man, I was commenting on the statement, not the one who made it sorry about that. I was just saying that if anyone says anything bad about any firearms, the owners of said firearms will get panties bunched up... $200 or $2000 gun... doesnt matter.

No offense intended.
