[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Who wants to buy a Hi-Point 1911?

Posted: 12/21/2014 12:29:12 PM EDT

In the bear vs. Hi Point thread, I found this link on the Hi Point discussion board:

http://www.hipointfirearmsforums.com/Hi-Point-distributor-to-bring-back-WWII-GI-M1911A1-45-Government-pistols.html

My brain just started bleeding a little. Who wants to be the first brave soul to try one?

No!

I'll give it a shot.

Worst case, something breaks and they send you the parts totally free.

Posted: 12/21/2014 12:35:22 PM EDT

[#3]

If the price is right, I would give it a shot.

But I build my own 1911s, so I figure I could make I work, so long as it took standard 1911 parts.

I don't know if even Hi-Point can make a 1911 that'll run.

BTW, it says Hi-Point distributor.

"...there is no relationship with any other company that MKS Supply represents such as Hi Point Firearms."

Posted: 12/21/2014 12:45:06 PM EDT

[#12]

It's not made by Hipoint, it is MKS Supply who distributes Hipoints.

They are distributing these 1911s as well

Although I don't want a .45. I applaud them for producing a product made in the USA.

Posted: 12/21/2014 12:46:42 PM EDT

Not built by the same guys. They're just distributing them.

Looks like MSRP of $749, street price of $500+ is likely. There are too many known options on the market to bother with this. As much as people love the 1911, they are an easy gun to get wrong, and when they start out wrong, they cost more to fix than you paid in the first place.

Did ya read the article? It's not made by hi point. It's just the same distributor. Even so, just because hi point makes a cheap product doesn't mean they couldn't do a good job on a nicer item.

I've got some respect for hi point. They are far and away the most reliable new manufacture pistols under 150 and their warranty is unbeatable. If that's what someone can afford, then it's not an awful option.

Might as well spend a few hundred more on the real thing. SA had it right when their GI model was $400-500.

Looks like every other 1911.

Yep they all do look a like, but the build quality between brands are not the same. I'm more interested in the CZ1911 since I know they build a high end semi-custom, production or whatever someone wants to call it type of build over many other 1911s out there. I used to own Ruger, Kimber, Colt, RIA, Springfield Armory and the like, but sold them all after buying my Valor. I'm just hoping the CZ 1911 will be at least close to the same quality Dan Wesson puts out considering they're probably making it anyhow.

$750 is Springfield Loaded territory.

To blow your mind totally, there is a forum dedicated to Jimenez Arms and other 'ring of fire' pistols. Not much traffic, but it is there for those that have them and looking for other owners of such.
Linkage to said forum

My guess is that it is a 1911 and yet another AR15.

I'll try one for under $700 because thats how much they will be selling for in order to be competitive price wise.

I read that and I knew that the author didn't know shit about guns.

It's a new incarnation of Inland Manufacturing.

http://www.inland-mfg.com/

They're also bringing out an M1 Carbine, M1A1 Paratrooper Carbine with folding stock, and a carry version 1911.

Made in the USA? OK. The site FAQ says the carbine receivers are cast rather than forged. Not so OK. (Yeah, I'm old fashioned.)

Posted: 12/21/2014 4:15:19 PM EDT

[#39]

Depending on the price point, I'd get one, it's an Inland production, not Hi-Point made here in the USA.

A series 70 1911 to play with, what's not to like.

This. They are among the best in customer service in the industry. You may need to send it in several times, but they have a no questions asked lifetime warranty so eventually it will run right no matter what.

Also the 750 figure is msrp.. it will be being sold for 100-150 less in the wild so to speak which does make it competitive with the Rock Pile.

I don't want to buy a 1911 at any price, but I AM going to buy a HiPoint the next time I see one. Preferably in 9mm but I would probably take one in .45 ACP if one came along.
