Around six months ago Sportsman's Warehouse had a Hi-Point 380 or 9mm pistol on sale for under $100. Will anyone admit to buying one andif sowhat is your experience with it? No haters please.

I bought a bunch of both calibers when I was an FFL,
they sold out almost every show

I had one in 10mmit was a great gun but I ended up replacing it with a double stack 1911 in 10mm.

That gun isn't worth the ammo to verify reliability

You can't be running with a Hi-Point unless you back it up with a BCA.

Only one upper I bought had a loose barrel and it was a Bear Creek Arsenal upper. The barrel was flopping around under the handguard. I tried a DeltaTeamTactical (aka MMC/Omega/DavidsonDefense) AR10 upperordered an unassembled upperit arrived poorly assembled with a missing barrel alignment pin. This caused the M4 feed ramps to be off-center. So rounds would hang up and snag as they traveled up the aluminum ramps in the receiver and smashed into the barrel extension ramps.

Another garbage rod was from CBC Industries. This one was also missing an alignment pin (or it was bent)same problemthe bolt would get stuck in the barrel extension.

2 Life or Death things that should always be assembled properly: (1.) Vehicles (2.) Guns.

I bought one and it made my ankles fat so I sold it.

Here's one in 10mm. It "rounds out" the collection. :s0069:

It's like a wart on a supermodel. Go to the doctor and get that thing removed!

IMHOif you're just buying it to plink once in awhile get one. I personally wouldn't put mine or my loved ones life on the line with one. But everyone's finances are different. Whatever you get just practice! And worse case if it jams or breaks you have a pretty hefty throwing device

It's not a real Hi-Point unless you bought it at a pawn shop or took it off the guy who tried to mug you.

Life is too short to waste a single minute of it on a high point gun.

I shot a C9 that a friend had bought for a stupid projectand it ran fine. It looked and felt like a POSbut it ran flawlesslyand I shot OK groups. You can't get a decent used gun for the price of this one new. If I were that brokeI'd check out a new one carefully at the storeclean and inspect it before shooting and run a box of the cheapest FMJ ammo I could find through it. It would certainly be more effective than an unkind word and an angry stare. On par with a good knife at least. Maybe better.

I bought one "by accident"I bid on a dozen antique derringers that a seller had on gunbroker. He had one modern pistola 9mm C9so I put a 50 buck bid on it. Unfortunately I got it for like 36 bucks.

It's as ergonomic as a brickweighs too muchhard to disassemblebut ran just fine. Fairly accurate groupingbut I was only shooting at 30ish feet. The single stack magazine bothered mewhy have such a fat grip and not have a double stack?

If you're broke and wanted something for home protection then sure. Definitely not suitable as a carry piece.
