Picked up a high point .40 carbine. What an ugly sob. Funny thing though is the only 40 ammo i had was a missmatched bunch of cast bullet loads with 4 different bullets some hot and some make for plinking in a 646 revolver and everything ran though that ugly sob like butter. Picked it up and a 1022 manlicher that was like new for 250 for the pair.
Build a ghille suit for that gun and shoot the heck out of it!

From what I hear they always go bang. UGLY, cheap, accurate enough. Whats not to like?
I hate to admit it, but I have a Hipoint 40 S&W. It's ugly and built badly out of balance, but it goes bang everytime and shoots as accurately as my other pistols.
I actually bought it when I was given several thousand rounds of components, another case of buying a gun to use equipment.

I almost picked one up last weekend for $200, it was new but it didnt have a scope rail so I passed.
Hi Point has a lifetime no questions ask warrenty also, that is a plus.

Rumor was that HP was to come out with a 45 acp carbine last spring. So the rumor goes that they cannot keep up with the demand of the 9 mm and the 40 so won't start production of the 45 acp until they get some slack. I'd like to have one of those 45 acp carbines. My brother and I picked up a pair of the 45 pistols this last fall. Lots of cheep fun.

Beauty is as beauty does. I thought Glock pistols were ugly as sin--but the things work very well, so they started gaining in aesthetics for me as time went on.
I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.

They make a after market stock that improves the looks a lot.
I hope if HP brings it out in .45 ACP they make it take 1911 mags instead of their proprietary ones. If they do I'll be getting one in a heartbeat!
