I'm thinking of getting a Hi Point carbine for my first gun. What does /k/ generally think of these firearms?
We begrudgingly admit they aren't so bad

Cost effective nigger slayers

i bought one as my first.
very mild recoil
meh trigger, but not terrible
surprisingly comfy in terms of weight balance
cheap to shoot = more practice
more accurate than it has a right to be, out to 100 yards. with a good optic you could stretch out a bit, but it loses a lot of accuracy around the 200 yard mark
god tier customer service, seriously.
their store has decent accessories that are cheap but work.
im not saying they are perfect, but they are retardedly rugged, pretty accurate, and fire a man-stopping round. all for under 300 sheckles.

They are ok but you can do better.
There are new hi cap magazines on the market that are supposedly reliable
Nows the time to whip it out

Just make sure to secure the fuck our of the front sight as it has a occasional tendency to fall off of some models. I remember getting one used for 120 and turning it in as an 'assault weapon' for 200. Naturally said money upgraded my collection

just throw on an optic with all the money you saved buying cheap shit

The weird thing is it seemed to shoot better with irons (when they stayed on). I would certainly pick up a crate of these for fun and profitable gun buybacks though

Buying a Hi Point Carbine taught me firsthand the lesson of "buy once, cry once". I don't have it anymore.
I love mine.
Cheap, mild recoil, suprisingly accurate.
It's pretty fuggin heavy for its size, though
The polymer feels absolutely garbage-tier compared to even base AR polymer, much less MOE or the like.

seemed to work well for them.
I'd advise to just get an AK or AR
It will be about the same cost ammo wise if you shoot steel case
If you can't afford either, I haven't heard much bad things about hi point for the price
1. Get HiPoint 9mm rifle
2. Get ATI faux Beretta stock
3. Get Redball 20 rounders
4. ???
5. Profit

Damn, really? Was it? I thought the HiPoint was newer than that

Go for Taurus instead. Best brand out there my man.
A s2k gen 2 is what I would get if you can find one.
It's really good at clearing out a library op

>Taurus
>for anything but 92FS clones
Nope.
>>31181306
They've been making them since the 90's.
Of course, the stock is an uglier design now.
Pot metal and nasty. Get a used one in good shape if you do. Can get a much better gun for what you pay for the TS version a lot of places. I have one and it is just another EOTWAWKI hand out gun.

>lol hi point
Memes aside, solid cheap gun. Not a bad first gun, but not the best.

Agreed a Glock mag subby is a great briefcase gun and better all around.
don't you just love it when everytime someone asks about a gun and half of the replies are
>lol just get something else for the same price lol /k/ memes
Why is it shit? What't the so called better options for the price? Fuck.

ehhhhhh, buy an SKS
