Hi Point Handgun differences?

[LuckyBrush]

I think you would be perfectly happy with a high point pistol. I have one in .40 especially for home protection. It stays hidden by the bed waiting for someone to break in at night. I have shot both .40 and .45 high points and both were very acurate, and very user friendly. The price is VERY right. They're a perfect starter handgun for you. My : Get a 9mm or .40 High Point pistol, you wont be disappointed.

Thanks mike!

I've been reading thru the FAQ's and it wasn't clear to me either.

I will do as you suggest, I have an absolutely clean criminal record and would like to keep it that way. Don't want to get in any trouble because of ignorance on my part.

My first handgun was a Hi-Point C9. I had 3 magazines and one of them would have a failure to feed on the first 3 rounds, but other than that, it would eat anything I put in it. The only reason I sold it to a friend was because I had become a snob and I thought that gun was butt ugly! It is like trying to conceal a brick, though. I have since bought an XD .40 subcompact and it is much easier to hide. I also bought a Hi-Point 9mm carbine on Auction Arms and it was in horrible condition. I sent it back to Hi-Point and they basically took the serial # off and put it on a new gun and sent it back to me with a free magazine. Their warranty is awesome. I don't think you can go wrong with a Hi-Point pistol. If you are looking for an inexpensive revolver, Hi-Point's sister company, Charter Arms has some pieces worth looking at. Welcome to the world of firearms ownership! At this point in time we need all we can get!

Uh.... what's that now?

I believe both Hi-point and charter are owned by the same company right?

Hmmm...... looks like there is a connection, but not ownership. Who knew??

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere in the thread, but feel it is DEFINITELY worth mentioning despite not being asked... Get yourself a little firearms training. Find and attend an NRA basic pistol class. A few hours on a Saturday and you'll learn a ton. You'll have the opportunity to ask all of the questions you can think of, and will learn basic firearms safety. This, in my opinion, is a must ESPECIALLY for those with no previous firearms experience.

Looks like there is a class in Northern Indiana scheduled for July 11th... give them a call, I bet you could take the class without your own firearm (if you haven't purchased only by then).
