I pickup a 40 cal. this time last year. Prodally ran 500 rounds through it. No trouble with what so ever.

Why pay more for the 9mm 15rd Promags when you can get 'em here for $15.49?

Is that the new Amish gun safe I heard about?

Hey jb28, i was leaning towards one too, and guess who has them on sale? Cabelas. 249 for the 9mm, 269 for the 40 and 289 for the 45. I really thought I wanted a 45 but lots of fellas here saying so many good things about the 9mm that has me torn between them. Actually my wife wanted it. Got the day off work Friday so I have till then to decide.

I chose the 9mm for a couple of reasons. The main one was the availability and low cost of 9mm ammo. The other consideration was that a 9mm comes out of that barrel with the punch of a .357 magnum, and for self defense that is good enough for me. Another $20 cheaper is also a nice bonus.

 

[ridetoslide]

Do you know what the approximate velocity is coming out of the barrel shooting the 9mm?

My friend owned one for awhile...he never had a complaint about it's function and always had to enjoy a couple magazines at the range every time we went

A standard 115 gr 9mm comes out at about 1550 FPS, +P is about 1700. A 147gr +P comes out of the barrel at over 1300 FPS, 124 gr a little bit faster than that. All in all pretty impressive numbers for the lowly 9mm round.

My BIL has the older ugly style and loves it. It runs flawlessly and is reasonably accurate. I could never get past how ugly it was. The newer tactical look ones are easier on the eyes.

Very nice I like the tan stock, is that color available through HiPoint or is it custom?

I'm torn between the many different calibers available as well. I think because of the $ factor I'm going with the 9mm version. There's and older model at Bassmasters in Seymour for $210 and a new one in .40 for $285 which I dont think I want either. Cabela's is a great place but very far from Columbus, IN.

Go with the 9mm for pure blasting fun. Mine has eaten everything I stuff in the little 10 round magazines and puts them in a nice small group. Best shooting $100 gun I ever came across. Stick with Hi-Points magazines, the aftermarket ones by Promag are absolute crap. Mine was an older one with the Planet of the Apes stock, finally broke down and picked up an ATI stock that makes it look really sharp. I dont care for their new TS stock, I like simple myself. Put a mag holder over the buttstock for a couple of extra magazines and just use the stock sights. I might put a red dot on it some day, but so far, haven't really seen the need to. It shoots fine the way it sits.

Shame, shame on the OP and you guys for your positive comments about this gun. After reading the entire thread and doing a little research, I decided that I had to have one. And since Cabela's had them on sale, I thought that there was no better time than now. The gun has a nice feel, it's short barrel makes it great for HD, and I'm looking forward to getting it out to the range. Cabela's had 35 of them left if anyone else is interested.

Glad ya saved me one pal! Can't go till friday, and yes, I started this thread. Actually, if you remember it was my wife that liked this ugly duckling, or " coyote ugly" as I call it. I haven't heard anything negative about it yet. My wife picked it up and some reason fell in love with the way it felt to her. Seemed to point good in her words. Glad an American Company is making something price competitive and something people actually want! Oh, I think I'm gonna go with the 9mm variety too.

Ill have to agree, they dont work all that great. Im thinking about getting the ATI stock for mine just to change it up a little. Im not real fond of the TS stock either.

i have the ati on mine with a red dot,its so much more comfy to shoot well worth the 60 bucks and u dont have to put the rails on,the only thing that sucked was mounting thr rail underneath i had to drill a new hole in the rail

ridetoslide, your wife was right. It has a real nice feel to it. And it's short barrel makes it easy to maneuver in smaller spaces, like the house. And at that price, I think it's a great deal for a fun plinker.
