I am thinking about buying a high-point 9mm but have heard mixed things about them. I want a 9mm for target shooting but don't want to spend a whole lot, so how are these guns? Any other suggestions for any 9mm under $300?

 

They suck ***!! They tend to jam pretty much all the time. Your too young to carry a handgun anyways

 

The old models were garbage for sure...they arent bad for target and just to shoot around with, but I wouldnt put my life on one I had one when I was younger and didnt really know awhole lot about guns and didnt want to shell out the big $ on something...you can find something better than a HiPoint for $300 though

 

they say use lots of oil and they dont jam.(like running off the gun) and a hight point 9mm is about 120.00 . where i live.

 

Ive been around weapons a good bit so I know how to be safe with them, and I wouldnt carry it, haha. Does anyone know of something else that would be more reliable for around $300? Ive been looking around but cant find much. I was thinking my best bet may be something used from the local gun store.

 

get a s&w sigma.. same price.... and much beter quality... and any problem can be fixed with stuff from www.gunspring.com

 

im going this week to get me a kel tec 9mm 219.00 small and easy to conceal

 

just get a fn 5.7 the best gun on the market

 

if you are buying the gun for protection DONT BUY KELTEC.... ******* GARBAGE...

save your money and buy something reliable

 

i got plenty of big guns i just got my permit to carry concealed. and i just need somthing small to pack . i was going to get the kel tec or a glock

 

There aight for target practice.Mine used to jam when i first got it but now its striaght.Only paid $180 for mine.But as far as puting your life on the line i would get something better.Ill always keep mine for another gun to have around.

 

most of the handguns i got are to pricey to be packing around . i just need a cheaper small gun to pack. but i dont **** that jams up . but its pretty easy to make a gun stop jaming

 

So you would rather protect your life with a cheaper gun that may not have the reliability of your pricey guns?????

 

I have a KEL TEC P32 to carry on me at all times and I like it. No concealed permit though

 

Doing some research on the sigma, I hear mixed things, too. I hear some people say they are reliable, some say they are garbage. Im not looking for something to carry, like I said, so its not a huge problem if it jams every now and then, the mags will probably be kept loaded (not in the gun) just in case. So has anyone had any expiriences with the sigma?
Ross, do you think the high-point is worth the money for target shooting?

 

hey a revolver never fails. my ruger 357 never jamed lol

 

i have a hi point 9 and its my throw away gun....never jammed on me and shoots fairly accurate.....for 120 cant really beat it

 

throw away? are you a gangster or something

 

Got my Ruger kp345pr for $350!

 

the high point is a good cheap gun . they say use lots of oil and they dont jam up to often. im thinking about buying one just to leave in my truck if somthing happens to it oh well.if it gets lost or stolen u aint out much money .
