Is this for real?

Looking at purchasing a handgun for use at the range and to stay at the house for home defense. Is there anyway anyone would buy this if the price is real? Sorry but I dont know much about hand guns so I figured I would ask here. The reviews on the site seem great.

Thanks,
Chris

It's real. There are some fans here but the gun's reliability isn't something I'd trust my life to.

Even if it FTF. It's still a tactical brick

I agree with JoppaJ. Good for range fun, not the best for home defense.

Hi-Points do come with a lifetime manufacturers warranty. I own a Hi Point Carbine.

I own 3, each one is in a show box w/ a 100 rounds of ammo w/ lots of plastic wrap and packing tape...I got them very cheap. Got the idea form this board, they are for SHTF times I'd used them for barter items.... if I had no other choice I guess I would use one, thankfully I have other HD/ carry options.... that being said I've fired hi-points before and have not had a problem w/ them

Please explain SHTF?

You should google it. After the 100 round break-in period the 9mm has been shown to very reliable. I wouldnt carry it buy I would shoot with it at the range and would have no problem using it for home defense.

find a used quality weapon, are you looking for a .45? Are you from creepers?

 

[jeepin13]

The only hand guns I have shot recently are a 9mm and a 45. Yes I am from creepers.

That's cheaper than an Airsoft ...

Before I go having it shipped to my favorite FFL, is it on the MSP approved list ?

Yep

Umm... for those that aren't aware there is a off-roading forum called www.marylandcreepers.com otherwise that just sounds very bad.

They are but i don't think all of them come with a fired shell case. So make sure.

Lol should have been more specific...

 

[HardHatMan]

They are neat guns. I would like to pick one up for the range. I don't know if I would rely on it for HD. My Ruger and Glocks have that job.

Haha, thanks for the context. Are there any other Maryland-specific forums you know of for cool things? (Guns and offroading cool ... maybe sewing, not so much.)

The Highpoint .45 looks like the biggest boat anchor you've ever seen, short of a Desert Eagle .50AE.

I've never shot one, but people say it's like holding/shooting a power drill. Haven't heard many complaints from people who own them.
