My son just bought a Hi-Point 9mm carbine at a gun auction near home today. Anyone own one of these? Are they any good? He just wants it for plinking. Any comments on this would be appreciated. Thanks

Best!!
I bought one three years ago. I've put over 1K rounds through it and have have enjoyed every one. Accurate (within .5 inches at 75feet) and reliable. Minimal cleaning regimin required so far. Great Gun and fun to shoot. I'd like to get a few more, but the prices have been artificially hefted as of late...
Seems like ALL semiautos have jumped in price by about 15-20%.[:(]
Gun-snob friends of mine talked me out of it.
Don't know why you'd need more than 10 rounds unless you don't have $15 for another mag. Why try to make it something it's not?
I wonder why Hi Point doesn't offer hi cap(20 or 30)round magazines for this weapon.
i sent them an email about that a few years ago . they said something to the effect of with the cost of having to design a new mag and the uncertain future in firearms sales they didnt feel making hicap mags was a worthwhile adventure. i have seen 15rd aftermarket mags though.
I bought one several years ago on the recommendation of a cop. He said all the cruisers in his department had them. I have shot probably 3-400 rounds of all types of ammo, and I have never had any problems with it at all. I've been trying to find a .40 caliber, but they are pretty scarce around here for some reason. Enjoy it, it will be fun to shoot. [:)]
