OP here

This is 45 acp

You just used "Hi Point" and "reliable" in the same sentence. Go sit in the corner, dumbass.

>>743146911
>hi-point
>reliable
Pick one and only one.

>>743148340
>not realizing that, while shitty, they aren't bad if you feed it the right shit
>not realizing that being able to defend yourself and exercise your 2nd amendment rights comes before spending a fuck ton of money on something you may not be able to afford

>>743148340
hi points are extremely reliable. you dumb fucking nigger

dude you are fucking retarded. I don't even own a hi point but it's very well known that despite them being uglier than sin, they work and work well. watch any major gun YTer test them out. Jesus fucking christ

>>743148676
Hi-points make heavy ugly and unergonomic firearms but they are far from unreliable. Go grab one for $60. If you can even afford it.

>>743148821
was just about to link this vid. he fucking shoots it and it still works ffs

I don't shoot my P229 anymore. I carry a P-07 now.

>>743149375
Dude, always clean your gun
Rust will make it a hand grenade

>>743146911
the only thing significant they did was lighten the slide and the trigger. pretty simply stuff

>>743149248
Let's see, you can shoot them in the slide at 10' with another gun and they still run fine

I would pay $1000 to see anyone do that with a Glock and it still run fine

>>743149264
Go ahead and aim. I win.

>>743149440
That poor dead tripod
It was just holding the camera

>>743149462
Jokes on you, a Hi Point is made from melted down hot wheels

>>743149374
Who the fuck drops their gun anyways?

>>743149529
I think it is pot steel

>>743146911
>Trimming weight off the slide

>On a blowback operated pistol

That actually makes it significantly weaker and less accurate at more than spitting distance

>>743149591
Sounds like half the glock market would like to talk to you.

>>743149248
Pretty sure FPSRussia did that, actually. Shot it in the slide with his nighthawk 1911. Then froze it. I think he needed to blow it up with tannerite to finally kill it.

That being said, Hi Points are still unbelievebly reliable.

Cheap =/= Unreliable

>>743149707
Matt at DemolitionRanch did a similar test. High Point is bretty good.

>>743149869
I agree with all of that, except...
I find them extremely comfortable, personally. I like the weight, too, since I have insanely shaky hands.

>>743149887
Didn't TFBTV talk about how Hi Points get a lot of hate, but they're actually pretty tough guns?

>>743146911
Top quality bait thread, OP.

>>743149975
I just mean in general. An SKS is reliable and cheap compared to an average AR.
...
Or is it nowadays?
I'm not following the market; maybe an SKS crate hasn't been cracked open recently and the value is up? Still, you get the point.

>>743149964
Well more power to you, brotherman. If you dig it, keep carrying it. I'm personally a revolver man so maybe I'm biased. Ah well

>>743150232
In Alabama you can still get 91/30s for $150 pretty regularly

>>743148676
Practicality over aethetics first if money is a concern.

>>743150232
Lee enfields always been shit because the load is expensive.

I actually wanna try keltecs new bullpup shotgun..

>>743150364
the KSG?

>>743149581
It's actually a zinc based alloy.

I read an interview with someone from Hi-Point awhile back. He made the comment that they are pretty much done sending out demo guns to reviewers because all they do is try to break them, get them to jam, etc... and fail to do so.

>>743150364
TYM's got me scared of KelTech. Though the KSG looks awesome, and that PMR speaks to me.

Ew the highpoint. Shoots well but it's ugly as shit.

>>743150403
Yeah. I just like em cause their a bullpup shotgun. Not because muh tackycool shotgun.

>>743150449
KSG kick like a mule and is akward to load

But fuck it fells nice

Bryco and Cobra immediately come to mind.

>>743146911
Hey anon,

I know you were looking for a simpler answer but you're either going to have to just buy two highpoints and mill material OFF THE FRONT HALF OF THE SLIDE of one of them, or look for someone else who has experimented with this same thing. Basically just keep milling and then firing until the gun refuses to cycle reliably. You might be able to add weight in the form of optics/uhh..jewlery or something to compensate for the weight lost. Just remember to mill the front half, axial uniformity doesn't matter much in terms of functionality.

>>743153051
They DID make a racegun out of a hipoint.
Did no one mention this...?

he literally said he was trying to make it in the fucking post.

>>743153635
Oh shit, sorry.
I'm half asleep right now.

While we're on the topic, anyone know how I could get a handgun in Australia?

>>743153732
Trips from Australia to the US cost upwards of $800.

>>743153190
> what is satire
You actual fucking retard. Autist fuck with no sarcasm detector.

>>743146911
Is the gun too heavy for your weak ass hands?

Just lighten the trigger pull to .3 lbs and load the ammo 20mg powder short and you can hold your .22 without the recoil hurting you.

>>743153922
Wow, that was sarcasm? Holy shit, I thought they really did make a racegun that pros LOVED and wanted to replace their regular guns with, and that was then sold for 4 grand!

Really convincing video, though!

>>743149656

OP asked HOW MUCH weight he can take off the slide which is not answered by the video. They may have just removed some material so the gun looks cool. Those youtubers are comedians after al.

You buy a gun in a store.

You don't buy that piece of shit for any sort of self defense, buy a real gun. Hell get a shotgun. Get a rifle, a revolver. Don't get s shitty piece of competition trash

>>743154135
This is fucking terrible advice.
Holy shit.

Listen, if all you can afford is a hipoint, get a hipoint. If all you can afford is a sharpened stick, get a sharpened stick.

Its more important for you to have a piece of metal that makes loud noises than for you to have a shiny, expensive piece of metal that makes loud noises right now.

even if it doesnt reduce accuracy, it is still significantly weaker

throw the high point away and get a glock

No shit it would be easier to make a gun here than by one my fellow ausfag friend.

do this OP

posting in bait thread

I literally got the 9mm hi-point solely as a joke and to shit on my friends that shoot $4k race guns at competitions and still suck.

wanted to hate it, i really did. But if you apply your fundamentals to it, (and dont let your support hand's thumb touch anywhere near the massive abomination of a slide) its just as accurate and reliable as anything else out there (glock, m&p, sig, etc)

have like 2k rounds through it, hasnt grenaded yet.

Yet.
