My brother in AZ had one for a short time. He was very unhappy with it. He said it would jam on a pretty regular basis. He tried different mags,ammo, 1 hand and 2 hand shooting. He got rid of it after the factory sent it back to him with the "it works fine for us" letter attached. He actualy told me that he wouldnt worry if a bad guy got that gun and pointed it at him. he was pretty sure it would not go bang. I have heard similar stories of jamming but not all first hand like my bro.

Nice signature Cheezy poofs forever

The only thing that I have ever heard positive about any of their firearms is that their carbines are surprisingly accurate.

Years ago I would say get one of those unissued bulgy Mak's for $149 but I think they are a little higher now.

One of the sons has a HP. Not exactly a reliable piece.

If you have a $200 budget, look around and find a S&W, Ruger or newer Taurus revolver. Those are honest weapons. Can you find them everyday for that price? Nope. But if you look around you can find one.

Aside from machining and fit-and finish issues, the overall design of the Hi-Points is terribly flawed. The trigger is hideous and very inconsistent. More importantly, the bore is about three feet above the grip position, so muzzle flip is almost humorous.

budget is a little higher thanks to the tax return. most likely getting a Taurus 24/7 in 9mm

My brother has a highpoint c9, and its not a horrible gun, but it is heavy and i dont like how it feels. I wouldn't trade my xd for it.

I have a highpoint 995ts 9mm carbine and I love it. I only wish it had a double stack magazine or reliable hi capacity magazine available and it was easier to clean. It an accurate little guy, and it's seriously light weight.
