Probably gonna catch crap for this but, hipoint question

[RoyalTenenbaum]

Are hipoint guns comfortable to shoot? I know people tend to have "developed" opinions about them, but I look at them and think the grip is probably comfortable for someone with arthritis. Your thoughts?

I've shot both the .40 and .45 and neither one was bad. I found the weight negated some of the recoil and the fat grip made them easy to hold.

That is what I figured about the grip. So would you say that they are heavier than the standard 1911?

 

[Slapstick]

Yep, they are heavy enough to use as a boat anchor in an emergency! I found them to be a lot of fun to shoot, ugly but fun.

 

[henktermaat]

Comfortable to me - but obviously that's my own personal opinion.

My C9 was very comfortable to me. The grip is huge like the rest of the gun, which made it easy for me to get the perfect grip on it.

I'm sure the size of your hands matter so if I were you, I'd go handle one and see how you like it.

naw, everyone seems pretty laid back here on ingo .

i own the 995 carbine and a jhp 45 handgun - theyre my beaters.

honestly the handgun is pretty laid back in terms of recoil because of the overall tankishness as above stated. the triggers break pretty decently as well.

the carbine in the ATI stock is pretty much a pop can's worst nightmare. fun gun, that one.

i had the chance to shoot the 380 last weekend, regular winchester white box 95 grain. i thought here comes double feed city. but it actually didnt skip a beat.

to be brutally honest, i wouldnt stake my life on it in a carry situation. but for anything else they make a neat point and shooter. good warranty as well.

They are a dream to shoot, they are just too heavy and unreliable for my liking

share your problem and just bought a hi-point 40. Liked the way it pointed and had no problems with the ergonomics of the grip and trigger. For a low dollar gun it does what it was designed for and fits me well.

I have been looking at some 45's, but due to some unforseen medical bills I may just end up buying the Hipoint 45. It is freaking ugly, but it is what it is. Cheap.

Come on... It's not like you're asking about a *Glock* or something.

I say if you want one, get one. They are going to be under $200 out the door so if it's not to your liking you could sell it and not be out a whole lot. I have spent a lot more on a gun and ended up not liking it only to sell it for a lot bigger loss. I have read generally positive things about their 9mm pistol and their exceptional customer service.

I think they are comforatble to shoot. Recoil is pretty tame and they are very accurate. My
