The ‘aesthetics’ of the Hi-Points have changed quite a bit in the last 10-15 years.
I have a 9mm from Hi-Point, and while I don’t get to brag about being in the [insert brand name here] club. I hit my target, the gun cycles, I hit the target, the gun cycles, I hit the target, etc. I does what it’s supposed to do, and the price probably kept my wife from shooting me with it. Do wish take down for cleaning was easier.
Now, if I can get me used Glock, or a S&W M&P on the cheap... I’d be good with that too.
But they are great guns. No home should be without a HiPoint carbine for self defense.
Yea, for years their carbine was butt ugly.
