Rye Miles #13621 Posted November 6 Posted November 6 (edited) I wound up buying a High point Carbine in 9mm. $350 I shot it yesterday at the indoor range. This is at 50 ft. Except for a few flyers at first it was pretty accurate once I got the feel of it. It’s a little rough but I can work with this. You can’t beat it for the money. I was shooting it pretty fast probably too fast. Edited November 6 by Rye Miles #13621 1 3 Quote
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted November 6 Posted November 6 Nah, mate, that wasn't "probably shooting too fast." That was perfectly reasonable Break In and Familiarization! Besides -- with something as mild as the 9P in a carbine -- it's FUN! 2 1 Quote

Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted November 6 Posted November 6 well the Hi-points do be UGLY BUT they seem to go bang , every time ya pull the trigger and are much less expensive than other PPCs CB 3 Quote
Pat Riot Posted November 6 Posted November 6 Picture please. I think it’s funny that many people like to hack on Hi-Points yet I have never physically seen a carbine in any store or gun show. I have asked gun store clerks and sales people why that is and apparently every one they get sells very quickly. If Hi-Point Carbines used Glock mags I would definitely order one. The same goes for Sig P365 mags. Congrats on your new carbine, Rye. If I ever bought one it would be this one. https://grabagun.com/hi-point-firearms-carb-9mm-16-5-target-stk-od.html Grab-A-Gun has a bunch of them. https://grabagun.com/brands/hi_point_firearms?category=rifles 2 Quote
Cypress Sun Posted November 6 Posted November 6 Glad yours worked out good. A few slingers when breaking it in isn't uncommon. I had one, worked great, sold it....but wish I hadn't. I just didn't like the takedown procedure and the proprietary magazines. A 20 round magazine is available, kind dorky looking but it is available. I can vouch for GunClips.Com. I've ordered from them several times with great results. I never ordered Hi-Point type magazines so I can't vouch for the manufacture of the hi-cap mags listed. Hi-Point Magazines 2 Quote

I’m going to order one and probably another 10 rounder. 3 Quote

DeaconKC Posted November 6 Posted November 6 I've had several and currently own one in .40. Great little guns, and this is coming from an admitted S&W revolver and Sig Auto snob. 1 Quote
