Hi-Point 9mm Carbine

What's the story on this Hi-Point 9mm Carbine for under $200? I saw one up close the other day and it looked a little rough to me around the receiver, but it's a nice size and I actually like the look of the design quite a bit. But, it's a hi-point, if you know what I mean. Anybody had any interaction with one of these? What are they made of?

    They are fun, accurate little guns to plink with, nothing more. I've never had a problem with mine, and haven't heard of anyone else having problems. I believe it is the only decent gun Hi Point makes.

    I purchased a Hi Point carbine a few years back. At that time they were having Quality Control issues. The front fight would come off and the mags would not stay in. I have been told that the newer ones do not have these issues. If you buy an old one,let the buyer beware.

    It's always, always, always better to wait and save your money and get a firearm of good quality. Buy the cheap mustard, ketchup, and papertowels, but go for the good stuff when it comes to things that go bang.

    Under no circumstances should you buy cheap mustard.That may still be a misdemeanor in Texas.

    Bought one a year ago for fun. Paid $169.00 new. Have gone thru 500+ rounds with only 4 or 5 jams. It loves to shoot reloads. 9mm 115 grn with 5.0 unique or universal. It is suprisingly accurate even at 100 yds. I'll shoot it till it drops then toss it away- cause I'm not out a lot of $$$$.

    I like rifles that shoot pistol rounds. Fun to shoot. I own a Marlin 9mm Camp Carbine and not only is it a blast to shoot but very accurate to about 75 yards.

    I bought a used one only because to price was right. 'till then I never wanted a rifle that shot pistol ammo. But this thing is very accurate.No jaming and the same clips as the handgun they make.

    If you are serious about buying a top quality pistol caliber carbine ,save your money and buy yourself a Heckler & * usc .45 carbine.
