HiPoint Carbine Regulated?

410 · Jun 28, 2016

Is the 9mm Hi Point Carbine regulated? I was looking to buy a .40/9mm/380HiPoint Carbine because the $250 price tag seems too good to be true. Does anyone have any comments on this gun? :shocked3:

LOL, no it's not regulated. Purchase it cash and carry and enjoy. A lot of guys love the HiPoint carbines, they seem to be pretty good despite being low cost.

Nice! Thanks dude. Im new to the idea of having a rifle that shoots pistol calibers, I just wonder how reliable and accurate it shoots.

I have a 9mm that shoots great. The only issue I had was a faulty magazine that came with it (bought it used). Replaced it and have had no issues at all. Very accurate.

I own the .40 and have fired the 9mm Hi-Point. They're fun little shooters with good accuracy.

Loathed, loved, hated, worshipped and ridiculed, but not regulated :lol2:

No more such thing as Regulated Rifle. Post '13 either cash & carry or banned.

They have an excellent reputation for reliability and ugliness. "Best Buy" for a utility carbine.

Has anyone made a reliable >10rnd mag for them yet? I like the sub-2000 a lot more, but I really just want a pistol caliber carbine at some point, but I want/need a >10rnd mag.

Threeband · Jun 28, 2016

I've been saying for some time that the Monkey Gun's great weakness is its limited magazine capacity. I think the fact that it's a single stack design means that an extended capacity magazine will be a lot longer and flimsier than a double stack would be.

Still, there was a recent post that said someone is coming out with 20 rounders for them.

Yeah, the new 20-round mag is actually approved by High Point and won't void the warranty.

Saw some in Virginia yesterday. It's one loooong single stack mag but doesn't look too bad.

BTW, HP carbines also come in 45 ACP. Without all four calibers a collection is incomplete ...

I have the Hi Point 40cal carbine. I can feed it junk ammo and it still goes BANG :gun7:

everytime I pull the trigger. Good price as well and it is a hoot to shoot as well.

Agree 100%. I regret selling my 995TS (9mm). I'd put it against ANY 9mm carbine as far as accuracy. I broke a firing pin spring once. Called them with serial number and 3 days later had a new firing pin and spring kit in the mailbox. Lifetime warranty.

This is the sole reason I sold my HiPoint and now just have a Sub2K. If there was a proven 33 round mag as an option, like for my KelTec, I'd never even have considered selling the HiPoint.

You guys are making me miss my old 995TS...

I may grab one in .45acp. I bet that one is a "blast"...
