I was searching gunbroker for 9mm carbines and came across this:
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=143661482 Now don't get me wrong, I have never considered buying a Hi-Point Carbine before seeing this. I have not heard good things about them and thought they were the ugliest firearm I had ever seen. Can anyone tell me about this new version of the Hi-Point carbine? Are they reliable? What kind of mags do they use? |

Quoted:
I liked the NEW hi-point so much i ended up buying another one a week later. for $230 it's a ton of fun. i had to paint the receiver cover though...just because i finish everyday. <a href="http://img199.imageshack.us/i/995tc.jpg/" target="_blank">http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/8985/995tc.jpg</a> Wow, so that actually is the new model? They don't have it on their website. |

They don't have it on their website. lol, didn't you click on my link in my original post? They redesigned the hi-point carbine with the new "TS" model. It stands for tactical stock. From my short bit of research tonight, it appears it came out earlier in the summer. |

If you want to un-ugly a hi point. Get the $80 ATI stock. NOT MINE. http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy307/Maverick_88/995-Dura-Outside.jpg Any idea what rail is mounted on the top? Any idea how it was mounted and does it fit tight? |

It looks like all the extra parts, The Top and Bottom Rails, Trigger and extended cocking nob were all made by Bushman. http://bushmanparts.com/osc/product_info.php?products_id=48&osCsid=3a31a524511c24853a920d1cd832816b |

My experience is quite the opposite. Aside from the looks and the 10rd mags, I've heard only good things about them. Mine has proven to be quite accurate and reliable. Quoted:
Looks nice, but for the total money outlay, a Kel-Tec sub 2000 might be the better buy since it takes Glock mags. They also have models that take S&W, Beretta, or SIG magazines. SUB2000 Mine (Beretta grip) has also proven to be quite accurate and reliable. Only problems I've had are due to crappy aftermarket mags. |

That's the new stock thats shipping with it.
I've got a hi point; fun shooter, but it tends to break down a lot. I think I may get a Kel Tec Sub2k that takes beretta mags at some point to replace it. ETA: the reason my hi point breaks a lot is because it's OLD and the previous owner apparently didn't know anything about maintenance. By and large, they are durable firearms. Mine's just a bit beat up. The reason I'm looking at the Kel Tec is because I can get one that takes Beretta mags. Then I can get a Beretta
