I always have hated taking a hand gun with me when I hunt because of the elements. mud and dust and mostly dust. I have found that in north Texas there is a dust, is like baby powder. This dust will get into place that I would not have thought it could get into. I finally got my hi point 45 acp carbine, and was looking at the hi point 45 acp pistol. I thought to myself a less than 200 hundred dollar gun and if it gets abused no big loss. I read and and watched youtube video about the hi-point jhp, almost everyone said it was heavy and bulky. I said to myself I think I can deal with it, well who wants to spend alot on a holster for a 200 hundred dollar gun. Keeping with hi-point, I ordered the hi-point holster as well. So today I put the pistol on today and give it a test run while doing yard work. It did not last 5 minutes and this set up will not go hunting with me. This set up is bulky and heavy and does not carry well at all, the only why I can sum it is its always in the way. I may carry it in a back pack or if find an over the shoulder bag. My best ideas are not always the best. LOL
