Hi Point or Glock?

[MT Gianni]

Any ammo I would hope for a High Point carbine. If I am going to pack the weight I want the bbl length. Only my loads get another choice, but that isn't an option here.

You're leading us to an answer you already have. Out with it!!

I'd still roll Glock. Most ammo found would be factory. If you found handloads, chances are they would cycle the Glcok fine unless you have poor luck and you just smoked the one of 15 people in America who own a 9mm revolver and shoot powder puff loads.

Conclusion: I'll start with my own ammo. If smoking people and taking their ammo there is a high probability it will work. If it is just for busting rabbits to fill the pot then I don't care if it cycles or not.

Just in search of thinking men, Dick.

Typical thread here, it's a lot like herding ferrets!

Medusa revolver?

Okay, let's throw this in the mix. Suppose you had to use whatever ammo you could find in .45. Everything from powder puff, to Bubba's smoking hot gunshow reloads special. Would you still pick the Glock?

I picked Glock earlier, due to my previous bad experience with a Hi Point. For all I know it could have been the only bad Hi Point to ever leave the factory; but I really don't think so.

With no multiple assailant, close range, combat scenarios listed, I think I would change my pick to a Ruger Blackhawk convertible; specifically for the "Bubba's smoking hot gunshow reloads special."

Ummmmmm. I need a gun I can shoot well and you did mention survival. I dislike the Glock grip so I have to go with the M&P in 9MM if you must have a pistol but for survival, I'll side with my GP 100. Hell for strength, will shoot anything from mild to wild on two or four legs. Ammo is available, and reloading is easy and affordable. The revolver will out shoot the Glock.M&P or High Point if accuracy was to become important so there you are. 38 Special ammo is still widely available and you do have the option of .357mag.

Take Care

ps My flattop Blackhawk .45acp/45LC would be a hard gun to leave behind as well. Up here cartridge availability might become a concern after some length of time. I don't have the .357/9MM convertible.

You don't have those choices. Glock or Hi Point.

Do I have a choice of a Glock pistol or Hi Point carbine?

Nope!

[btroj]

They are ugly but I go Glock in this one. I don't know of anyone who got rid of one for poor feeding or lack of reliability.

[robertbank]

Phooey just shoot me. This is like asking a guy to marry either one of two ugly twin sisters.

Happy New Years !

Bob

[6bg6ga]

Nope!

This makes no sense. I will have to take this as meaning ANY Hi Point available or any Glock. I'll take my 45 acp carbine.

Can we have back up shurikens?

[pmer]

Stay away from the Bubba Ammo Company with either brand. Is the G30 Hi Pointish with its wide slide?

Who really buys a gun because its cute or not?

[tek4260]

Sorry but no self respecting person would ever own a Hi Point. The only good use for one I can think of is to have it in a plastic bag somewhere to be used as a throw down piece.

And don't bring up the price point. You simply should have saved longer or worked a bit harder.

Now, now. The hi-points are ugly, and heavy, and ugly. However; having played with quite few they are reliable and dang strong. I'm not going to go into detail on what we did to try and destroy a $50 special we picked up, but it was quite eye opening.

My brother has rocked a hi-point for years, against all my advice, for a couple reasons. It was cheap, it hits where he aims, and it has been very reliable. My brother has the money to buy pretty much whatever handgun he wants, has a few different ones, but the Hi-point is always with him whether going to the range or in the car.

He is comfortable with it and it works. Plus he paid $75 for it when he bought it from a guy at work.

[nekshot]

The high point work fine for me and I don't like the bulge but do like the Glock in trigger safety dept but if push came to shove I'll go with a hi point.

[clownbear69]

Well if you like guns made out of Matchbox cars get a hi-point (seriously the frame is made out of the same metal). I personally will never own a hi point unless (and only unless) if I lived in a state that confiscated the firearm after it was legit defense and I wouldn't have a chance of getting it back.

But if I only had a hi point budget I would wait until the following budget and get this.....http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=385322689

Or nearly any of the mil surplus guns under $250.

That's just my .02
