Hi-Point handguns

hope you don't plan on using that in a self defense situation cause your going to lose.... don't do it. i sold guns while in college, alot of guns.... don't even think about it. when it breaks most gunsmiths won't even work on it. it's total crap

Thanks for the info fellas. I was going to research them, but now I don't have to waste my time.

HP handguns are junk. Their carbines have established a decent reputation though. I didn't know Cabelas sold the handguns, I worked at their gun counter for 8 months until May of this year and we never had any

Hi points are pretty much shite. Take the $199 and go buy a really nice aluminum baseball bat and you'd be much better off. There was a dumbass I used to work with that bought one and said it was better than my glock 30. I was taking a look at it and was wondering "how the frick do you field strip this piece of shite". Unlike quality handguns you have to pound out pins to take down the slide. I would never consider owning one of these. Here is a video of your typical hi point owner demonstrating field stripping with an improvised screw driver tool.

Thanks for the advice, but I wasn't saving for a Hi-Point. I just happened to come across these guns on Cabelas website. I think my next hand gun will be a Kel Tech 9mm or .380... Looking for something small.

I bought one just to have some fun at the range. Not very good quality. Not accurate at all.

I've got the carbine in .40 and its a fun gun, but like most have said I wouldn't trust it in a serious situation. I was looking at getting an AK when I bought this one. I was in college and really didnt want to spend the 350 for the AK but how I wish I would have now.
