Hi-Points are better than Glocks.

You probably won't get to see a Glock do anything this cool...

You mean like maybe the HP didn't really understand when his mom said "if all your friends jump off a cliff would you do it too?"

Look at the gas porosity in the casting! HOLY ****!

Oh Man!
There goes a $125.00 right down the drain!

Their metallurgist should be fired...

 

[Fenway]

But they have a lifetime warranty so it's no problem

 

[NateIU10]

And THAT's why they have a lifetime warranty

ETA: Man. we're on the same wavelength Fenway

How did it happen? I couldn't find his writing on the incident. Was it a KB?...

Wow, crazy stuff right there. I bet someone had to change their pants before taking those pictures.

I bet Hi-Point will cover it under warranty and send the owner a new one, and a few spare mags

 

[Ashkelon]

wow. I thought about picking one up for the upcoming camping season but I am beginning to rethink my position. Thought it would make a great canoe gun. Surely, this is an uncommon event?

 

[Scutter01]

Wait, they aren't supposed to do that?

He would want another one?

here's the story as it was posted where I found it (in the team forum on ARF)

....it's been put to rest. they are complete and total junk! most of us already knew this but still people buy them.

a few of us went to the range today to get in a little trigger time. we were shooting for a bit when we noticed that one of the guys had a hi-point. this sparked a discussion about price, quality, crime and other things. i repeated that while it is a cheap pistol and it may be ok for range use a hi-point should NEVER be considered a defensive firearm. i, like many others, have heard that hi-points tend to work. sure they are ugly as sin, can't hold a group for ****, have less than ideal ergonomics and cost less than two USP .45 mags but people who own them report that they *work*.

if all you intend to do is put rounds down range i guess you can consider the hi-point a *starter gun* (i started with a Glock but what ever)

we discussed the finer points of my USP compact 9 and the other guys G19 and told the guy he would be better off to sell it and save up some cash for another pistol. he has a Ruger 9mm and he could easily get rid of his drill hi-point.

so we went back to shooting and a few minutes later i hear "...and this is why you don't buy a hi-point"

i look over and see THIS.....

he was shooting winchester white box and had put less than 100 rounds down range. he did get it from a pawn shop so who knows how many rounds it's seen but damn. who would own a hi-point POS? oh yeah, this guy had one. it's a $150 lesson he'll never forget.

 

[originalhonkey]

so what you telling me is all guns dont do this after a few rounds?

 

[IndyBeerman]

Even though I've never seen or handled a Hi-Point pistol, I'd bet even money the person who dumped this at the pawn shop was giving this a very heavy diet of +P+'s.

Yep..... actually, I'm betting the story doesn't even begin to resemble the facts. Oh well...... mail the parts to the mothership and get a new one with some free mags..

But you'll never be able to convince some people to open their minds because we all know that Colt, S&W, Glock, etc. has NEVER manufactured a firearm with any kind of defect.
