Looks like ass to me. :idk:
Occasionally inexpensive plastic crap yields surprisingly favorable results, but I wouldn't spend my money finding out.

You will hear mixed results on this one, some swear by Hipoint and others swear at Hipoint...

I've known quite a few guys who've had trouble with that brand and had to send them in multiple times. I won't buy one.

Most unbalanced weapon I've ever held.

There is a police officer in the City of Cincinnati who now became the biggest supporter of Hi-Points out there.

There was a armed robbery downtown, and he was the first on the scene. (this is coming from memory) But I think the officer had a small back and forth shots with some other people there, but got snuck up on by another person, almost to point blank. It was damn near execution style, but thankfully it was a Hi-Point pistol and it jammed. So the officer took a step back, yelled to drop the gun, and when he couldn't get it unjammed, he laid on the ground.

Hi-Points are shit. Getting anything else please. Like a makarov surplus russian pistol.

I went ahead and got it for giggles. I searched for hours and only read good things from people that actually shoot one and the typical "crap" from people that have never shot one.

The only "problem" I found was a person that reviews the carbine with different ammo. The CCI Blazer ammo (believe aluminum casing).


Should be a good varmit killa.

I've shot them and think they are crap. As cheap weapons go I love my keltec P3AT.

Well, I don't expect to go to war with this so I never had high expectations. Be it I'm lucky and it works flawlessly or be it crap. It be what it be.

Well, for what it's worth, there are always people who claim Taurus guns are crap but I'm pleased with the two I own.
Hopefully your space gun works out for you as well. :D

In my experience (and apparently that of a few others here), they are.
I was just mentioning that Taurus is another brand that gets dismissed as inferior by handgun elitists.

Well, I guess if I had thousands to spend on guns, I would dismiss them too.

FMJ

FMJ, short for "Fuck My Job", has been used to indicate a severe distaste for one's job, when one doesn't wish to express that distaste for all other aspects of his or her life, as then a more comprehensive and complete term FML would be used.
Person 1: "Why is it so hard to get to work on time?"
Person 2: "Because your job sucks."
Person 1: "FMJ."


Short for Fuck my jaw
I was at a Societies Plague show the other night and I was moshing. I got hit in the face and went to the bathroom to clean up the blood. My friend comes up to me after the bands set and says "Sorry I hit you in the jaw man!" FMJ!
