Hating the Hi Point is a meme.

>>33749909
Most reviews I've seen that actually shoot more than a mag through the gun end up running into some failures

also you don't understand fox and the grapes

>>33749927
This pretty much.

If you're a complete poorfag, it'll work if you put some elbow grease into it, but it's not a 150 dollar Glock by any stretch.

It will shoot bullets, and it may save your life, but it's not something you'll want to trust your life with.

That said, they aren't nearly as bad as people claim sometimes, and I'd lover a Benjamin plastered one just to have the most ironic gun on the planet.

okay then

>>33749909
It's a meme because it's a shitty design. I could care less about the price. The fact that they could have shaved off like two pounds and lowered the bore axis by half a foot is a goddamn crime at any price.

Bersa Thunder costs slightly more and it's not a trainwreck of a gun. There's no reason to get this when there's tons of slavshit and other simple designs that actually work

>>33750003
Any jury sees this and you're basically guaranteed the electric chair

>>33750035
It's a blowback design, senpai. Slide mass is not a design flaw, it is required for cycling.

Oh look, a trip being a faggot AND having a shit opinion based solely around the Glock boogeyman. Big surprise, right?

>>33750068
>muh reviews

are more reliable than some jackass saying anyone who claims a $100 gun isn't reliable is a Glock shill

>>33749909
>SW shields are 220 on brownells atm
>buying this shit
literally why

>>33750068
Yes, and the blowback operation is inferior to literally anything else that doesn't require a brick being attached to the top of your hand.

I don't hate it, just dislike it. It's not a gun you buy because you want to, it's a gun you buy because you have to. This is the gun you fall back to when you're in truly dire financial straights and nothing about it is nice. It just reeks of desperation and I would only use one as an absolute last resort.

>>33750125
aside from the fact that it's stupidly thick, not as reliable and makes your gun obscenely top heavy?

>>33749909
>most criticism is fox with overpriced glock grapes

Hahahahahaha you're fucking retarded

>>33750012
My entire post was fine, what are you talking about.

Glocks are pretty shit as well, they are far from perfect, but saying the Hi-point is on the same level as a Glock is complete bs.

Pure blow-back pot steel guns are not equal to actual steel locking breech guns, it's pretty simple to grasp.

But I still like Hi-points, they do something cheaply, but they do it amazingly for the price point.

Per dollar, Hi-points are probably the top tier handgun especially if you're a poorfag.

Also you're literally acting out the foxgrapes, so this is probably bait, but whatever.

Hi-point deniers need to learn that idiots like you aren't the majority of Hi-point owners some how.

You do know that the Mak is also blowback, right?
What are you, 12?

>>33750313
This. Even if it is as reliable, the gun was obsolete the day it was designed. Hell it was obsolete 100 years before it was designed

It's easier to read and I like it, plus it helps phonefags.

Though seriously why are you asking?

Maks aren't Hi-points OR 150 dollars, anon.

>Hating the Hi Point is a meme

All of /k/'s firearms opinions are memes, neckbeards spread fuddlore and painfully retarded jokes that get regurgitated by firearms ignorant teens until the board takes them as gospel.

>>33750337
>Reddit spacing

Who the fuck hates Hi-Points?

They don't pretend to be great, they are good and cheap for what they are. Possibly the best warranty policy in the entire world, too.

It needs to have double stack mags
Besides that, it works

>>33750361
>implying the Mak is good
why do edgy teens who come on /k/ love slavshit so much?

>>33750602
Because it's not really commie shit. All the best stuff was produced by based Americans and Eurobros....ok I'll admit some commie shit was actually pretty cool

>>33749909
>single stack

It's the Yugo of guns. Or maybe trabant.

>blowback requires heavy slide
>shit ergos
>8 round single stack 9mm
>bulky and ugly
It's not dogshit, and I'd rather have one than nothing, but it is painfully mediocre.

>>33751803

No no no my friend C9 is below mediocre. A SD9VE is mediocre, hi point is for poorfags who can't save up for more than $100 or people who see it as a meme gun

>>33749909
>smallest one is still impossible to CC without wearing clothes two sizes too big because it's the length and height of a G19 but thicker than two Glocks strapped on either side of a NYC phonebook
>all calibers are single-stack mags
>not the highest longevity due to cast slide and blowback design, it WILL break catastrophically before 10k rounds
>mags are fragile untempered cold-rolled sheet steel that bend very easily, expect to get ~5 range sessions on a set of feed lips before you have to re-shape them

It's a great bang for the buck pistol for shit like HD but it's a really really shit carry/target/combat pistol

>>33750361
You do know that the Mak isn't available in 9x19, .40s&w, or .45acp, right?
What are you, 12?

Also:

Pick zero. They're shit pistols that cost more than a new-in-box FNS .40 compact.

Can confirm. Was actually surprised the C9 shoots so smoothly. Has virtually no felt recoil and the trigger is heavy, but crisp. Charging it is a pain in the ass, though. They need serrations the full height of the slide.

>>33750337
Fuck, I write emails like this.

Agreed, I feel it's easier to read in chunks.

Look! I'm doing it again.

opinions on the ghost ring that comes with the c9? I have never shot another pistol with a ghost ring and honestly im worried I like it better than 3 dot.

Also handles pretty well with a proper hood grip. They even orient Ben Franklin to face you when held sideways. 10/10 attention to detail there.

You don't get the ghost ring effect when the rear sight so far from your eye. It just ends up being a huge aperture sight. Not great, but not bad either.

>>33753009
is there a reason these arent used more often? because you cant holster the gun?

>>33753043
You can holster the gun, the rear sight doesn't really interfere with a holster. The reason they aren't used is because they don't do anything better than a normal open handgun sight.

>>33750361
