So do you let two high points pass for 150.00

[tallpaul]

Onward- I think you understand Paid a bit more than I wanted but it was to a lady ho lost her husband a few weeks back and she could use the money, I did not steal em at about 25-30 less than market but like a lot of folks say they tend to work or can be made to and at across the room distances they are fine and heck why loose a quality piece to an investigation or anything else .... and I think the barter thing may become reality sooner than later...

[Praxidike]

I'd buy and resale from private sale...

 

[Dr.Rob]

I'd buy both and give one to Justin.

 

[MCgunner]

I'd let a Hi Point pass at 50 dollars.

One of my grandsons pick up a 9mm for $60 from a roommate in collage. His brother,father and uncle made jokes about the big,ugly thing. However after 3 years and 800+ rounds the jokes have stopped.
Buy them

 

[CMC]

A fellow at our hunting lease bought 3 at a gun show and was at our range trying them out.
He got a 9, 40 and 45, out of the 3 only the 9 worked reliably.
He paid each for about 125.
Total junk, he was kicking his butt for spending that much money on stuff that did not work.
If they work they are a good deal if that is what you want , otherwise run from them.

 

[MCgunner]

I just don't do zinc.

 

[BLB68]

I already have two cordless drills, don't need any more.

j/k

Real answer: Don't need 'em, and not inclined to try to flip them for a profit. I want some rimfire handguns next, no point in investing in guns I don't need. Buying stuff just because it's on sale or a deal is a good way to waste money.

Well, that, too.

 

[DeepSouth]

I'd buy them, but I'd sell them for a profit within 2 weeks.

Anybody know the legality of buying guns to sell for profit without an ffl?

 

[newfalguy101]

buy em and flip em should be able to double your money, or come pretty close anyway

 

[newfalguy101]

Completely legal PROVIDED, its not an ongoing proposition.

One of the measuring sticks ( so to speak ) of dealing without a license, is REPEATABLY
buying and selling

They would pair up nicely with my HP carbines. Are the pistol and carbine mags the same ? That would be an extra plus.

That's about as vague as it gets. "You can do it so long as you don't do it too much."

What exactly is "too much" in regards to buying and selling firearms for profit? At what point does it become repetition? Two guns every month? Five guns every month? Ten guns each year? There's gotta be a black and white answer to a question like that.

Me personally, I wouldn't buy em. You're probably looking at $50 total profit between the two of em. God forbid you gotta drive fifty total miles to make the two individual sales, cause then you're damn near breaking even. Waste of time.

This is Texas, BY GAWD. We don't pattern our laws after New Jersey.

I bought a Ruger Mk 2 off a gun collector/lawyer at a gun show that flipped guns at gun shows a lot just for fun, no paperwork, no having to show him my carry permit, just cash and out the door.

 

[ljnowell]

It's funny I will almost bet also that most here that are disparaging have never shot one. They may be ugly and clunky but unreliable I'd not what I would call any of them I have seen. I owned one for four days one time. I traded an old core transmission I had in my garage for one(mechanic by trade). It was a 40s&w. I shot a box of ammo through it and gave it to my dad who needed a bedside gun. He has ran almost a thousand rounds through it.

 

[4banger]

Mine had and have been reliable. The only reason I will sell them is to upgrade, but for a HD carbine, the 995 is pretty great.

 

[metalart]

Yes, the mags are the same.

 

[newfalguy101]

Unless its a recent change, the 9mm mags are NOT the same between the carbine and pistols, the .40 and .45 yes

Just because you don't like the answer doesn't make it any less accurate....

You might also take note that I said ONE of the measuring sticks.....

Take a look at ATF's website, they define what constitutes "dealing" ergo, if you are doing those things WITHOUT a license, then you are by definition "dealing without a license"

 

[jrdolall]

9mm pistol mags will not fit the carbines.

I have several HP in 9 and 45. They actually make good trainer guns as they have little recoil and are very dependable and reasonably accurate.

Big and clunky for sure but an excellent value.

Nope, havent fired a Hi Point and likely won't unless I'm somewhere where someone has one and even after firing it, I wouldn't buy one. Zinc alloy is too malleable and weak, don't like it as a material of construction for firearms. Have had .22s made of it that gave me all kinds of problems. Buying a .45 of ZINC? I think not. The Hi Point may well work, but I don't need it. I prefer revolvers, anyway, but have a few autos like Ruger P guns in .45 and 9, even an all steel Radom P64 that was only 200 bucks at Gander Mountain. THAT is a nice little gun. If I stumble across one of the Maks or a CZ82, or a Hungarian PA63, I might pop for one, my kind of bargain gun, but I got no desire for a Hi Point. There are other guns I'd rather have for my money and with 26 handguns, I don't really NEED much more, anyway. For those that actually LIKE 'em, knock yourselves out.

Just because you don't like the answer doesn't make it any less accurate....

I didn't say I don't like it, I said it's stupidly vague. There's no way the law says you can buy and sell guns for profit without a license as long as you "don't do it too much." There's got to be something more clear than that. It would be like speed limit laws saying "don't drive too fast."

If the best you can do is provide worthless remarks ("just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not true har har") when it's blatantly obvious you actually don't know the answer, you may as well not waste anyone's time by posting a response to a question.
