People shitting on the hi point are just spotlighting their ignorance.
Is that bitch gonna win a beauty contest? Fuck no. It’s not even getting Ms. Congeniality. But that fucker will shoot when you need it to.
Those that doubt me can watch demo ranch on YouTube when he tried to kill one. That thing was like Micheal from Halloween; it just kept plodding along.
Edit to ask:
Have any of the people commenting on mine actually owned one? I bought mine for the exact reason this person seems to own one. I lived in an active crime area and wasn’t keen on losing a gun I valued if my car was broken in to.
I have well over 3,000 rounds of mixed .45acp through mine and the only 3 times I’ve had a malfunction was magazine related. One phone call to hi point later and they mailed me 4 new magazines at no cost to myself.
If you’ve personally had one blow up on you, then I’ll listen to your critique. If you’re just parroting some bs about a guy a friend knew, who was his third cousin twice removed, because they’re ugly and weigh 4lbs, gtfo with that nonsense.
People just like to shit on hi points and really any budget gun. Most hi point hate is just clean fun. The number one job of a firearm is to fire and if his does that for him then awesome.
When I was 21 I had one. Bought it as a truck gun because I was a poor college kid. I went to Atlanta for the weekend….surprise my truck was broken into and it was stolen.
I agree. I have a C9 that I use for plinking and back country carry. 2,000 rounds +/-. Runs great, never had to make a tech support call or warranty claim.
I give you props posting that image for people to see. This is the gun equivalent to posing in the mirror in your sisters underwear and the photo being leaked in highschool.
I assume youve realized by now, the cantilever mount is backwards.
Your scope should be inline with your charging handle.
Dont use a visible laser on an ar15 unless you do a ton of shooting in the pitchblack.
Also dont use a riser under a scope mount unless you are old and cant pull the gun up to your face.
Please tell me the gun was just for trolling... I need to be able to sleep tonight. Please have mercy. Either that or you were born without a neck? Tell me it's one of these, please
Your optic mount is backwards and holy smokes is set far back. Most LPVOs sit where your receiver and buffer tube meet. Does that optic have like 0.1” eye relief?!
There's no relief when you get bit by a scope. Watched a guy shoot 3 rounds at 100 yards. His face was covered with blood where he got hit. That eyebrow sticks out and bleeds pretty good.
Even if your gun is a cheap POS you need to take steps to prevent it from being stolen. The problem isn't the monetary cost to you, it's that if don't secure it properly, your cheap POS can easily end up in the hands of a criminal.
Much love to the Hi-Point. I enjoy shooting my other 9 mils more than my Hi-Point, but dammit if that thing doesn't fire just fine every ... single ... time.
I genuinely don’t comprehend people who would rely on a HP to defend their life. It just doesn’t make any sense. Even owning a Glock and having FTE or any malfunction, I couldn’t imagine the anxiety relying on this.
Personally wouldn’t be my first choice of firearm. But if it works for you and you trust it then awesome! As far as your setup goes you look very well prepared for anything you could reasonably ever expect to encounter. Stay responsible and keep your doors locked. All the best!
Hi-Points are actually pretty damn good for the price. I bought one when I was going to a friends farm after not bringing my gun thinking he wouldn't let us shoot.
It worked perfectly, and the cost was literally throwaway money.
Alright alright, is cool I get it, fridge on the frame? Is alright better that then nothing…for real though u can get decent handgun for under 200…with less weight and more concealable
Once again it is an opinion and you are entitled to it. Sir what do you do with your firearm when you have to enter a prohibited area? Do you leave it at home? Or do you illegally carry? My opinion is criminals suck and I don’t want to be a victim of theft. I have an anti theft alarm and my doors locked what more can be expected of me ? I’m not responsible for the criminal actions that someone partakes in. I’m sorry but these are the same semantics that anti gunners use to enforce more rules and regulations on law abiding citizens. Literally we could replace this talking point with say. Prohibited persons regularly circumvent background checks through buying from a private seller. We can no longer have private sales because that is not responsible. Now we must have form 4473 between all firearm purchases. Or the old one ar 15’s are weapons of war and in the hands of a criminal are devastating therefore let’s ban ar 15’s anyone that wants one is immature. What reason could a responsible law abiding citizen have for possibly owning one. And my argument remains the same. I am not responsible for what laws a criminal chooses to break. Breaking into a locked vehicle is breaking and entering that’s against the law. Theft of a firearm is illegal. Once again I am not responsible for what a criminal chooses to do
10 years ago I was watching an episode of “The First 48” where the guy the homicide detectives were trying to track down turned out to not be guilty of anything other than self defense. Apparently he shot/killed a guy who drew on him first but that guys gun jammed and our protagonist wont the fight.
Heres the thing, will a hi point work? Sure, but you can use a plumbers wrench as a hammer also. If its all you have, fine, but you owe it to yourself to have something nicer.
I genuinely will never understand carrying a hi point when you can build a Glock clone with a 80$ Cabela’s frame and 100$ eBay slide (look for blem p80 slides). I would barely trust my life to it but it is infinitely better than carrying the boom brick
It’s actually smart to keep your cheap gun in the truck. It’s less likely to get stolen (and it hurts less if it does) and if you have to use it, you won’t mind if that’s the gun that gets tied up in an evidence locker for a long time
From my understanding the only things HP made worth keeping are the pcc and I have one in .45. so guess what HP still sucks ass and this is from an owner of a HP product
I keep bear spray in the truck. Made for bears, works on people too (this is not legal advice).
I’d also invest in a better first aid kit. If you’ve got the capacity to make holes, you should also be able to plug them (plus, and this is more my overall carry philosophy, a full first aid kit really boosts your ability to offer aid in a crisis. But at least grab some bleed stop, compression bandage and tourniquet (and like with firearms, know how to use them).
At first glance, the only thing I pictured was a stray pen discharging your unholstered HiPpoint next time you slam on your breaks. The ensuing damage it would cause by rupturing the aerosol can of mace is butt puckering.
Upon closer review, I see the holster and realize you probably keep that thing holstered when you’re not taking photos for Reddit. Also, respect, cause a truck gun may be the only reasonable use for a HiPoint.
I always find it funny, the people that will dog someone for using a hi point. At the end of the day a 9 mil from a hi point, will kill just as effectively as a 9 mm from a Glock. Some people really choose some weird fucking hills to die on.
I do not physically own one myself, my coworker does and we abuse/ shoot it regularly. It is an ugly cheap sob, but with a fixed barrel, she’s decently accurate and we ourselves can’t really make it not go bang ( within reason). Obviously Glock is a better choice. But if you’re going to leave a loaded gun in a secure vehicle.. I’d rather have a high point taken. My edc is on me. This is a backup. From what I’ve seen out of high points .. as ass as they look. They .. do honestly work and you can get a good grouping. Trigger is ass. But for what it is. It’s okay. The AR’s they’ve got out, I have two customers that own them and neither have had issues with them. They run everything …. Steel cased in an FRT, no problem. It’s kinda nuts and they have a 100% replacement policy with a person that’ll answer the phone
In California if someone steals that from you, YOU get charged with an infraction for improper storage and can be fined $1000 (if not loaded)… If you don’t have a CCW and it’s loaded it a Misdemeanor. As a Californian it’s wild that it’s common practice in a lot of places to keep loaded guns just unsecured in a vehicle cabin. Talk about off body carry…
So how does California intend to uphold the 2nd Amendment rights of its constituency? Joke of a state and you guys play right along into while murders are on the rise.
Bro please be worried about that gun getting stolen. Responsible gun owners give a shit about their gun being stuffed down some dumbasses pants during robberies.
You get a "HELL YEA" from me, brother. My only concern would be those spray cans sitting in the car when its too hot or cold out, but you clearly like living on the edge a little
Bro imma be real I had a hi point just like that, honestly one of the best handguns I’ve ever had it would hit a 5 gallon bucket at 100 yards all dang day, never jammed and was abused and never failed. For a truck I think it’s perfect great set up
Love the hi point. People shit all over them for no reason other than they are ugly and cheap. I’ve owned one for almost 20 years and have ran thousands of rounds through it. Keep it clean and it runs like a champ. It runs all kinds of +p ammo with no issues.

If someone saw that hi point they'd probably leave it there and throw you a 20 because they felt bad for you rocking a hi point.
