Hi Point Carbines
Anyone have or shot one of the Hi Point carbines? Saw one in 45 acp at LGS. Looked interesting and he was asking $305 for it.

i would get keltek if i were to get one. That being said i think they are more durable than what most people think of when they say hipoint. I would pick one up if the price was right.

I have one in 9mm. lifetime warranty, comfortable to shoot, Costs about $250-$300 depending on where and what you get. If I tell "that guy" at the range that I own a High Point, he'll say its a piece of crap. BUT... everyone seems to want to shoot it, it doesn't jam, it eats everything I feed it, and its accurate enough. For $250-300?? Go for it!
Oh, and did I say that you'll seldom if ever see one for sale used? Hmmmmm.... wonder why? DaFadda |

nope.. we're talking about the 9mm carbine, not the pistols. Its reliable, fun to shoot, and well made ala AK... stamped steel, mass produced. Its NOT a tack driver, its a plinker. A cheap people's gun. But it works. I won't sell mine because its simply fun to shoot.

So in your opinion, is This something only for the range or could it be part of a home defense group?
I realize it won't have accuracy of a 223 or 5.56, or the range. Sine I don't live on a farm or out in the country I'm in a suburb in and just look for different guns to add. I don't own an AR, but I'd like to, and I'd like to try building one. However, for the price seems like a viable gun to add. What do you guys think? Is the Keltec better? Or even step up to an H&K? Or just wait and do the AR? |
honestly, I would pick up the 9mm, witha 30 round mag. throw a laser/light on it and use it for home defense.
keltek is nicer but i don't know if it is worth the wait or extra price. If you are are looking for a AR style 223 round. Look at keltek's plr 16 very nice rifle and su-16 http://www.gunblast.com/KelTec-SU16.htm http://www.gunblast.com/Kel-Tec_PLR-16.htm http://www.gunblast.com/Kel-Tec_Sub2000.htm http://www.gunblast.com/HiPoint-9mmCarbine.htm |
( I take a lot of crap because of this rifle, but I like it very much.)
I wanted a pistol round in a carbine set-up. I live in a large neighborhood and the houses are close togther so a rifle round just doesn't make since for home defense to me. I bought a colt ar that has a conversion kit to 9mm. This weapon is very accurate and also has vertually no muzzle rise. I have a couple of 30 round mags. It sits in a very tight place near the bed. |

All this said, mine pretty much sits in the safe now. Swinging a carbine in my bedroom is more difficult than swinging a DW CCO at 3am. I am looking for a 9mm upper for a AR lower that I already own so that I can compete at MPrimo's carbine shoots on Thursday nights! |
So, do the 9mm uppers work ok on the AR lowers? What is needed for that? just the mags and the 9mm upper?
