High-Point 9mm
 

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?

Re: High-Point 9mm
 

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

Re: High-Point 9mm
 

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:2cents 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:cheers

Re: High-Point 9mm
 

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.

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

save your money and buy something reliable

Re: High-Point 9mm
 

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

Re: High-Point 9mm
 

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.

Re: High-Point 9mm
 

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 shit 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?????:nono

Re: High-Point 9mm
 

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

Re: High-Point 9mm
 

Doing some research on the sigma, I hear mixed things, too. I hear some people say they are reliable, some say they are garbage. :banghead 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?

Re: High-Point 9mm
 

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

Re: High-Point 9mm

Re: High-Point 9mm
 

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 .

Re: High-Point 9mm
 

That ruger looks nice. I already have a few revolvers, I want something with a higher capacity. Im going to try to go to the gun shop this weekend to see what kind of used guns they have and what not. Keep you posted. As far as accuracy is concerned, within a house, you dont need to be able to group 6 rounds in a quarter to drop somebody (home defense obviously).

Re: High-Point 9mm
 

i didnt say it was a gun i would pack .just somthing to keep in the work truck and easy to get to . i keep a taurs 45 on my side. and i dont own a high point some ppl say they suck and others say they dont have any problems out of them......

Re: High-Point 9mm
 

Thats exactly my problem. Ive been doing research and its 50/50. people hate them or like them so I may just go test fire one if I can. I've also been looking at a few others. Anyone know about the sigma?

Re: High-Point 9mm
 

I got my wife the hipoint 9mm Carbine. Looks like a little assault rifle, or submachine gun....

It's not bad at all.. she shot a snake in the rafters of our carport years ago at about 20yards! Put a hole in our roof too, but hit a snake that is only about 1/2" wide! It's pretty accurate.

The thing usually only jams if she doesn't keep it clean and well lubed.. Plus the springs in the clips are kind of weak and wear out fast if you leave them all loaded all the time. But none of this is so bad that it's not still fun to shoot.:shruggs

It's not a pistol either though so probably not a real good comparo.. I didn't even know they made just pistols.. I thought it was only this carbine that was called a hi-point.. I'm guessin since you said "to carry" that they make more guns then?

OH.. and I also payed only $100. for it from a freind.

Re: High-Point 9mm
 

I usually clean my guns after every time I shoot them, too.

Re: High-Point 9mm
 

I love the rugers.I recently bought a brand new p95 for $325 out the door.I have had a bunch of rugers over the years and have never had a single jam or failure.I deff. recomend a ruger when your searching for a gun where price is a factor.As soon as I can find a p90 (.45) in stock locally for under $425 I'll be getting that too!! I might settle for the 345 like homeboy has above just because it has a narrower frame which makes it easier to conceal.
