I did a LOT of research (nearly a years worth before I decided to buy)on-line and discovered that the carbines have a good reputation for reliability. This carbine became my truck gun, and it does what I need. I wouldn't call it ugly, but it sure is different; much more attractive than the pistol line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10877977.post-52007862725239600082013-09-01T07:48:24.446-05:002013-09-01T07:48:24.446-05:00I love our Hi-Point 9mm.

My neighbor had owned it for quite a while, but never fired it, so I prevailed on him to accompany me into the desert one weekend. Aside from the weight, it honestly wasn't bad. Yes, the trigger was heavy, but this example was a surprisingly clean break, at least for an 8 lb SA pull. Reliability? One day in the desert doesn't really give me much to go with, but it went bang every time. I'm pretty sure after we got back to town, that gun went back into the drawer it had lived in prior, and may never have come out again, but I was rather impressed with it, for a $100 gun. If it jams on the third shot, well, thats three more shots than you would have had without it. Wolfmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757339335162584002noreply@blogger.com
