My only gues is that it's the DETROIT BANKRUPTCY COMMORATIVE model.

 

[two gun charlie]

does look pretty "expensive"

 

[horsemen61]

To each their own I guess

 

[Mp7]

i really like. Somehow.

 

[BigN]

Now the gun is worth $1.50

 

[OilyPablo]

It IS possible to make a hi-point even uglier. I had my doubts.

Failed attempt to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.

 

[weblance]

Its great camouflage. Sure doesnt scream GUN! like it would if it was black. Would hide real well in a briefcase full of money.

 

[skoro]

There's no accounting for taste...

 

[wow6599]

It's the irony that makes me want it. I think whoever did the job has a good sense of humor.

Makes sense, Hi Points are actually one of the "gangstas" guns of choice... And they love flashing stacks of cash...

So this combines two of their favorite things into one gun!

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Out of any gun to have that done to it, a Hi-Point does make the most cents for many reasons .
To tell the truth, it kinda makes me want that specific one.....sadly

Sometimes lipstick just makes the pig uglier.

To go with the matching camo suit...

 

[bannockburn]

I take it then that this was the less expensive option versus doing something truly wacky like gold plating one of these guns.

 

[rondog]

How did they even get that finish/pattern on there?

 

[tipoc]

My first thought was that the finish broke up the outline of the gun very well and made it look nothing like the familiar profile of a handgun. Wow! good for CCW!

Next thought, was that it looks like a wad of hundred dollar bills sticking out of your pocket and about to fall loose. Maybe not the best choice.

Nothing in America catches the eye as well as the shape and color of a dollar bill. I've seen people stop their cars on a freeway to chase what looked like a dollar bill laying on the side of the road.

I've seen a mother send her 8 year old kid over a fence into a neighbors yard cuz it looked like his pit bulls were sleeping on a dollar bill. I said, "They could wake up and take a piece of your son." She said, "I got 5 kids, but that could be a twenty!"

Butt ugly, not the pattern, it's a Hi Point.

 

[Col. Plink]

Why?

Because it's all about the Benjamins! (as if you had to ask)

In all seriousness, that might be the only 9mm I'd ever want. It's money, baby!

 

[Speedo66]

When you're doing your drug deal, that will be camouflaged in the bag with the money.

Was that so hard?

 

[Texan Scott]

This looks like a very professionally applied print wrap. Cheap gun, HORRID aesthetic, but capably done. Someone out there (FBGM, all about the Benjamins, dead presidents, PEACE) will buy it just because it's so ghetto fabulous. Probably a 23-yr old white kid working at a Taco Bell in Dallas.

 

[Apple a Day]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new "Best Pimp Gun Ever" standard. This definitely raises the bar!

Hey, it's cheaper and better looking than a metallic-urine-colored Desert Eagle.

 

[Blue Brick]

Up to $180.00... really??? 1 hour 35 mins to go.......

 

[Jaymo]

Why?
To sell even more Hi-Points to hood rats.
Smyrna, GA used to be nice.
It's gotten more and more ghetto since the projects were evacuated for the '96 Olympics.

I'm waiting for them to offer a Hi-Point that looks like a turd.
Oh, wait.
