Spy photos of the latest Hi-Point model

These seem eerily similar to me, anyone else see it?? Looks like a brother from another mother.

Sorry to those that like them, I'm sure they are great, but damn they ugly.

The only Walther I like is the PPK, beautiful lines!

I would guess the right "highpoint" has an easier disassembly, but they are really similar.

 

[IndyGlockMan]

You're in luck. Prices are slashed on PPX's. they can't hardly give them away

Yep. Took their aesthetics from Glocks!

With the price point of a Hi-Point I can excuse their ugliness, but from Walther this is just unacceptable.

I don't have anything to add to this thread...I just wanted to post in here so I can say I was a part of it before the Walther fans shut it down

The PPX may be ugly, but to me they have an outstanding feel and the best double action hammer fired trigger pull on a semi-auto I have ever felt. In no way should the PPX be compared to a Hi-Point, but then no gun should be. And no, I don't own either one.

Plastic guns are all ugly. They are tools. I own 2 plastic guns. They are both ugly. They both serve their purpose exceptionally well.

"ugly guns" serve a purpose, just like ugly cars, they get you around town, but I prefer to think of guns as very useful works of art, similar to a well styled car.

In full disclosure I am a huge fan of Walther's. That said they need to stop putting their name on every piece of garbage that rolls off the Umarex drawing board. Guns built to meet a price point usually end up being recognized as the turds they are. Please do not read that statement as my being a "gun snob" critical of lesser priced products. There are some good values and diamonds in the rough if you will hanging out in gun cases. But generally speaking consumers would be better off sticking with the popular service quality pistols.

Exactly what I thought when I first saw a Walther in the show case. Yuk!

Not all new Walthers look bad. The P99, PPS, & PPQ are pistols very much worth looking at! Everything else is fodder for gun store consumers.

This. Love my PPQ. But some of the turds Walther has slapped their name on have been flush worthy.

They wish they looked as good as a Glock. The Glock is a balanced design with a brutalist simplicity. The Walpoint/Hither things are really ungainly looking.

My younger brother recently purchased a PPQ M2. Shot it again just the other night, and at 7+ yards, kept making the same hole just a bit larger, and more ragged. Beautiful trigger, and it gets better with every range trip! I think the only complaint (which is very minor) is that the flowing "Walther" logo looks like it was created by a kid in study hall. I also don't care for aesthetics of the paisley-style grip stippling, but it works really well. Otherwise, for me, the PPQ is everything I read about it, so much so that if I run across a slightly used PPQ M1 with the paddle-style mag release at a good price, I may be quite tempted.

The Walther PPX does look like a hi point. Good thing they shoot really well. The triggers are a huge surprised when you dry fire one. If Glocks had triggers that good, no one would buy anything else.

 

[Expatriated]

I had no idea they still made hipoints. So even gangbangers have gone polymer? Whats this world coming to?!
