At least with that ugly little thing, you can be the 10th owner, run reloads through it, blow it up, and Hi-Point will replace it. Try that with a $1200.00 HK. I had exactly that happen guy stuck 3 bullets in a 40 caliber carbine barrel bulged it a bit Hi point rebuilt the thing no questions asked and sent him a new sling , scope mount and magazine back with it to boot their pistols are shit but if I was young and broke I would be all over a Hi Point rifle When a brand new gun costs < $300 (retail), then sending out a couple parts to make customers happy makes alot of sense. The barrel probably cost them $9.99 to make

You guys crack me up. "It's ugly" is your complaint. Do you know how many people complained about the M-16 being "ugly"? If looks really counted then our military would be issued over-under shotguns with engraved receivers...

I keep telling them they need to make one in .45 ACP, fed from 1911 magazines. Yep. That way I wouldn't have to search high and low for a discontinued Marlin Camp 45 to share mags with my 1911. |

Quoted: You guys crack me up. "It's ugly" is your complaint. Do you know how many people complained about the M-16 being "ugly"? If looks really counted then our military would be issued over-under shotguns with engraved receivers... eh, I bought one because it was so ugly it's momma wouldn't even love it. It's ugly. At the time, there was no aftermarket, but I knew at the price they were selling for, there would be. Hell I paid $175 OTD for mine, BNIB. You can't beat that, that's $10 more than my last 10/22 cost me. Sure enough, a few months later came the ATI stock, and I'm sure I was one of the first to own it. Couldn't get that factory stock off fast enough but overall, I love this little carbine... it's way mo'betta than it has any right to be. |

The barrel probably cost them $9.99 to make absolutely true but going on swingset's comment say you do it to a $1500 gun the barrel in it probably cost $50 to make % is close to the same With a few minor exceptions I bet if you sent that weapon back to the factory they will charge you $150 for a barrel maybe $50 to install it and return shipping Hi point didn't charge this guy a dime for his own stupidity actually now that think about it most of the Hi Points I have sent in have been for the owners stupidity reloads... buldged barrel blown out extractors etc disassemble it and lose/break parts over tighten screws and break the plastic but as you stated I also suspect they are making a pile of money on these things |

Love my carbine.
It's an older one, took it out the other day with a cheap scope and bipod. I was able to pick off clay pigeons at 100 yards. Or replace the scope with a red dot sight and it's still good out to 100 yards. But better for closer ranges. Ugly? I don't think so, but it ain't pretty. Looks alone don't define a gun. |

I saw several of those at Ben Avery Range in Phoenix the other day.
Apparently they sell two different package deals: One package includes a NASCAR t-shirt and a rebel flag bandanna, the other package comes with a flat-brimmed hat and Spanish language instructions. Take your pick. |

Quoted: I'd rather have a M92 lever action. 16" barrel, 8+1, can get it in .357, .44, or even .454 casull. Handy, light, reliable. Around $400. - AG Make mine .44-40, also called .44 Winchester Center Fire. |

probably the best gun for introducing a new person to firearms...
cheap as hell top-notch customer service little recoil reliable after owning one of these as a first gun, a person will either say "this gun is good enough for the bump-in-the-night" or,more likely,will want to get something built a little better..then another...and another... 
gun snobs obviously aren't trying to get converts.. |

Just about everyone who has a hipoint carbine likes them. For the money you can't really beat them. I was going to buy one but they're too heavy for my taste. Sub 2000 felt flimsy to me. Cheaper to buy an entire hi point than a 9mm upper. |

Carbines are good to go.
They work, they're cheap, and the warranty is the best in the business. American made as well. Not the cutest things ever though. |
