I have seen a few videos recently dealing with Hi Point pistols that kind of impressed me. In one of them they subject the gun to some serious abuse, going so far as to obstruct the barrel then clamp it closed and use a string to fire, and it still worked with few repairs. Another one, Demolition Ranch I think, he actually shoots the Hi Point in the chamber the gets it to rack and it still fires. I personally have no real experience with the guns. I know they are huge and ugly and all but I have to admit that after watching quite a few videos like the two mentioned above my curiosity was piqued. I don't think I could ever convince myself to carry one just because of the size and weight issues but I am considering picking up one as a range toy. I just wanted to find out if anyone had any real life experience with them and what those experiences might be. Come on now don't be ashamed, you can always just say you were shooting it for a friend.

While it wouldn't be my first choice after carrying and shooting others, the one I had always went bang. I think it was called the 9C model? It was a single stack 9mm with a compensator... it just sucked because it was a 10 round mag in a full size handgun and there are absolutely no good holsters for them. But reliability is there...

I have an old 995 Carbine with an ATI Stock. Never a fail to feed, fire & eject. I think i cleaned it once (its a Hi-Point). It's the Grandkids Weapon of Choice!

hi points are the fat chick/moped of the gun world....all 3 are fun to play with till someone you know see's you!
i say this to everyone, its big heavy and ugly ans bulky, and if i hit you in the head with it, it'll probably hurt you more than if i shot you with it!...but it'll shoot all day long any ammo you put in it all day long!
the worst thing about it is finding a holster to fit it!, but as others have said, at the price that high points sell for, add 50-100 and get something your friends wont laugh at you for owning!

I have one of the carbines and it's a tack driver that runs like a Cheetah.
I have shot a few of the pistols in 9mm and they all went bang every time.
I would like to pick up a pistol in .40 to go with the carbine.
They aren't pretty, but great guns if you're looking for something to bury in a coffee can as part of a cache somewhere.

Had a used 995 carbine once that I wanted to buy an extra mag and scope rail for. Called Hipoint and talked to someone in the service dept. Turned out my gun needed some updates to it and they sent and updated stock,scope rail and 2 mags for Free. Best customer service I've ever received from a gun manufacturer. Just never could get past the cheek slap on it.As for the pistols,they'd be good for a truck or tackle box gun (as long as you have a big tackle box)

Seriously, they are fun.

Digging up this Corpse of a thread. I needed a gun for home protection back in 2015 and picked one up new for like 160 bucks. It was the c9. I must have put 400 rounds t through that thing and it only failed to eject one time and that was in the first 20 rounds. But boy is that thing bulky and ugly! Today I see you can get the Taurus G2c for a few bucks more and it's a much better gun. I wonder why hi Point don't just do some re tooling and make a gun that's better looking and not so top heavy. Anyone like these things?

I was thinking it looked like it was 3D printed, haha.
That's a Stallard. Rumor has it these were "built" one at a time in a man's garage. This gun predates even the Beemiller which is typically considered the first gen Hi-point.
