I just got a very good shooting. 45 pistol and now with my hate of the gouging cheaper than dirt I feel like selling it.how soon until the great customer sevice hi-point one had goes to ****.
Say what you will about their design and balance but the guns shot well above their price range.
I can't forget the $50 for 50 9mm ball ammo and $100 ar mags that CTD was trying to get just aa soon as people got nervous a bit back.

The only thing rarer than a hipoint owner who doesn't like their customer service is one who has never needed it.
Plain stupid statement.welcome to my ignore list.

Still thinking about getting a HiPoint 9mm carbine as a plinker for the kids. It's my understanding they're very rugged/reliable, and it's about 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of just about every alternative I've been able to find for a rifle in 9mm.
Mine is 10 years old, runs great, don't know about the newest ones.

I admit it.... I've got the 9mm carbine as well.... Lol. Had it about a year. It's heavy but balances well. I put a cheapie red dot on it and it always surprises me on how accurate it is...even out to 100 yards. Fun little carbine. I don't recall it ever jamming with any ammo I've used including hand loads. I affectionately call it my planet of the apes gun....hehe. For the money, they can't be beat..
Anyone have a link to info on the sale of the company?
Was there a request for asinine comments? I must have missed that.....
Yes, please! This is the first I've heard of it.
I hope this ain't so.
I have one of their 9mm carbines, the only problem I have had with mine is the magazine needs to hold 50 rounds or so.
it gobbles up stuff I can't get in my other pistols and shoots them accurately enough for the gun to be a reliable small game gun.
it does very well with stuff it likes.
I have been keeping an eye open for a 45 acp version.
but if CTD is involved I'm out
How about CTD?
They recently closed their store in McKinney TX.

I searched for twenty minutes this morning. I couldn't find anything about it. The article in American Rifleman did mention that the company would be changing hands. But no new owner was mentioned.
I've been looking to pick up one of their 9mm carbines. But if CTD is the new owner than I will no longer consider owning one let alone buy one.
I searched today as well. I even spent some time on looking on the Hi-Point Forum ...and found NOTHING anywhere.
I see my fellow Minnesotan and castboolits member MaryB recently posted on the Hi-Point forum...If she is a regular there, maybe she has some knowledge of this business acquisition ?

I thought Strassell's Machine (I think that's their name) was buying Hi-Point?
Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.
I think one of the posters confused Hi Point with Taurus.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

If if so many people wish ill on CTD, then wishing Taurus on them should make them happy ��
That would be a match made in Heaven.

Ok this info was sent by a freind.I am all wet on this one.he sent me the info they had the same adress and we're owned by CTD.I am glad I was wrong.that's what three days off of work for dental surgery and oxycontin does for you(me).I usually check my sources.
Let's the insults fly I am an idiot!
