I've been contemplating a range gun/home gun. been doing a little research on the Hi-Point brand through Cabala's site. Seeing nothing bad but the weight....

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I've never heard anything bad as far as them malfunctioning. I personally have seen a few problems with Taurus which would make me not want to trust my life or a hunt to one.

If you're looking for entry level, spend a little bit more money and get a SCCY.

Save your money for awhile longer. You'll be thankful later. Get something with tighter tolerances, better finish, and resale value.

If you cant hit them with a bullet, you can beat them with the gun, just like using a brick with a handle  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

How cheap are they????  You can get a really cheap pistol that is super dependable....S&W shield, Ruger SR9(c).  Do a little research and get an accurate reliable gun.

Usually hi-point does not fit both those qualities.   :twocents:

Thanks everyone. I'm thinking about a 45...but this hi-point one is MASSIVE! to big for my liking. Anyone got something thats a good deal? I think the 9mm would ok, as far as a "sit in a night stand" gun..only.

Nobody wants to get shot with a 9mm. 

But if you want a .45 ruger also makes an SR45  ;).  I have no experience with it, but if is shoots like the SR9 or SR4 it should be a sweet ride.  You can buy one for $400 dollars.  PM carpsniperg2....he is a ruger dealer and has great deals to forum members.

Only if I could afford no other gun and at that point a high point is marginally better than nothing.
