gotta tell ya, the life time warranty is real, a friend, who is a Pastor who loves to shoot, he kind of put some very, very hot rounds into his and blew it up. The HiPoint rep said to him, after he explained what he did and asked how much a new barrel would cost, was told, “We warranty stupid”. and they rebuilt the gun for him for free.
Never said it was a bad gun....just ‘utilitarian’ as best as I can explain it. It’s a very good poor man’s carbine.
[BTW, the pastor must have shot some 147 grain +P 9mms in it.....] I have a box of that, and there’s only one 9mm I have that I’d shoot it in.
