Is HiPoint up for sale now? I have $38.89 in my pocket. I can buy the company and still get a Subway sandwich.

Too soon.

I heard his casket will be cheap, ugly as sin but quite reliable. It only fails to close sometimes.

Lifetime, no questions asked warranty too!

On a related note, the casket manual says if it wont function properly, try a different body.

EDIT: Yes, I have a warped sense of humor. Deal with it. You may all make equally morbid jokes about me when it is my time.

I want a closed casket and the final music will be "pop goes the weasel" as the mourners stare in horror waiting for something to happen.

Why wait?

But seriously, God rest your soul Tom.

Guys, a little respect. I happen to know that Hi-Point has the highest quality standards...when it come to choosing their local counsel.

I know their products aren't very popular amongst more experienced shooters, but I will say that they fill a very important niche in the gun market: inexpensive guns that even the relatively poor can afford to allow them to defend themselves and their families. Just because someone can't afford a $500 Glock or a even a $300 Walther PPX, doesn't mean that they shouldn't be able to have a firearm.

This has been a major issue ever since the 1968 Gun Control act target inexpensive handguns, banning them from importation, despite the fact that research around that time proved that the cost of a weapon had no correlation to it's use in crime (in fact, more expensive handguns were used much more heavily in crimes).

So, I'm glad companies like Hi-Point are still around.

Well said, Beowulf. If you can afford better, you almost always will get better. But Hi-Point fills a legitimate niche.

What's next, a rationalization of Lorcin?

What's next, a rationalization of Republic?

Dammit, Kirk, I'm an advocate, not a magician!

 

[Kirk Freeman]

T. Lex, did not change that, I did. I thought Republic was too inside baseball.

 

[T.Lex]

Wow. Maybe I am a magician.
