[Pistol] Hi-Point on sale for less than one Hi-point. -$96.99.

trebory6@reddit

So I've been wanting to go to a range here in washington, but they don't allow solo shooters without guns.

I'd bring a friend but I just moved up here and the seattle freeze is a real thing.

Would it be worth it to get this gun then take it to the range to try out some of the other guns I wanted to get?

My other option is $150 for Private Training where I get to try out the guns with a private trainer. But this is like $50 less than THAT.

[-]

MiguelLancaster@reddit

tack on another $50-70 to the price for the FFL transfer fee and it's not the savings you think

but you do get a 'free' gun if you got that route

[-]

MiseryIndexer@reddit

Yeah, totally. Even if you don't end up liking the hi point it gets you in the door so you can rent other guns you might like.

[-]

DerthOFdata@reddit (OP)

I'm pretty sure it selects your local store but I believe they ship for free between any of their locations.

[-]

ligmagottem6969@reddit

Don’t believe I have one in Minot. That’s ok

[-]

DerthOFdata@reddit (OP)

Maybe I should have said the nearest location rather than "local."

[-]

ligmagottem6969@reddit

Yeah the nearest is Williston. Surprising because there isn’t much there

[-]

ligmagottem6969@reddit

Buddy I’m not driving to Williston to buy a hi point

[-]

Wow that's a hell of a sales pitch. Not gonna lie, im actually excited to see what their new AR-15 will be like lol. I'm from Ohio so I like to root for them to succeed, even though....yeah...they are Hi Point.

[-]

bigfatround0@reddit

they're making an ar? lol

[-]

bigfatround0@reddit

Huh. Looks like your run of the mill AR.

[-]

BluDvls21@reddit

Fine with me. I wouldn't get one. You can get a cheap ar for $400. Even if the hp15 matched that, idk if it offers anything of substance to sway me away from an Anderson or psa, if I was looking for a budget rifle.

[-]

2Drogdar2Furious@reddit

HiAR-15 lol

[-]

bigfatround0@reddit

Lol

[-]

in2optix@reddit

I'm rooting for them to make it California compliant 😫 because I would absolutely rock one. I'm loving my 995ts

[-]

fluxdeity@reddit

Obligatory move out of that shit-hole state comment. You'd actually save money because the COL is ridiculous. Not to mention the general anti-2A attitude of California.

[-]

Rebelgecko@reddit

The only state that my job would let me transfer to without a paycut is.... New York

[-]

GooseMcGooseFace@reddit

Transfer to Texas or Florida. Even with the pay cut, there’s no state income taxes. You’ll probably end up with more money.

[-]

bigfatround0@reddit

It's easier said than done. Not everyone wants to uproot their life for what basically amounts to a hobby for most of us.

[-]

fluxdeity@reddit

The amount of money saved not living in California would pay for itself. You could move your entire family out of that shit hole. Earthquakes, smog, excessive homeless, high crime, no thanks.

[-]

ColdTheory@reddit

You have no idea how large the state is if you think everyone is equally affected by the things you mentioned.

[-]

justamiqote@reddit

If only I had the privilege to make my entire life's decisions based on my guns

[-]

Mahlegos@reddit

If it’s on par quality wise with Anderson and still has their lifetime warranty it’s going to be the best entry level AR on the market I think.

[-]

bubbathedesigner@reddit

It will be a game changer

[-]

alltheblues@reddit

Need to be better tbh, Anderson bolts seem to break at a relatively high rate.

However I will absolutely be buying some Hi Point lowers if they sell them

[-]

eaamade@reddit

Serious question. It's this a good deal? Seems like a lot of people are making fun of this gun. Why?

[-]

TubeSockLover87@reddit

It's a past-time.

Stuck up people will turn their nose up but fuk em.

It's a great deal if you have a store near you.

They charge very little for the transfer.

If you have to ship to an actual FFL, id pass.

[-]

Temporary_Traffic622@reddit

Seems like they won’t ship to a nearby swh? Either anybody try calling in or something. It seems I can pick up in neighboring state or ffl but I have a sportsman’s a few miles away :(

[-]

DerthOFdata@reddit (OP)

It's a bit of a meme gun in the shooting world. However Hi-Point's mission statement is that everyone deserves to be able to defend themselves no matter their economic status. You are getting what you pay for. It's ugly and clunky but it will get the job done.

[-]

Quenz@reddit

Even better than their black Friday deal. And actually a blast to use. Still zero issues with mine, no cleaning or oiling.

[-]

skink35620@reddit

Mine still works fine after being thrown through several walls, no oil or anything

[-]

Sea_Rooster_9402@reddit

I have a decade old c9 that's never been cleaned or even taken apart. Still pretty reliable except it doesn't always want to enter battery with a full mag.

[-]

omahusker@reddit

Should I do it just to say I have a meme gun plus it’s 1 more gun and I’ve spent $100 on a lot worse in my life?

[-]

Electronic-Tea-3912@reddit

If you buy 10 even if they jam after 1 round each you can shoot a full mag!

[-]

TresCeroOdio@reddit

Hipoints don’t jam nearly as much a people claim. They’re just made of pot metal.

[-]

bolivar-shagnasty@reddit

HiPoint only melts down the finest rebar scraps, Mitsubishi Galant trunk latches, and AAA Zamak for their firearms.

[-]

Fragrant_Scene_42@reddit

Mitsubishi Galant catching strays 🤣

I used to work on those, so +1 for the random reference

[-]

Vic_Sinclair@reddit

I loved my Mitsubishi Galant. Too bad my brother-in-law wrecked it while I was deployed.

[-]

Fragrant_Scene_42@reddit

;(

[-]

MiniBanjo@reddit

Mine has never jammed. She ugly but she goes bang

[-]

Traditional-Hat-952@reddit

If you need disposable gun for crime then this is for you. /s... But kinda not

[-]

GamesGunsGreens@reddit

I told my dad, "You buy a HiPoint for $100, then rob the liquor store for $200, then throw away the HiPoint, and rinse and repeat."

[-]

sLUTYStark@reddit

“Well, I rolled into Atlanta, stolen tags and almost out of gas Yeah I had to get some money, lately I’d learned how to get it fast Those neon lights was calling me and somehow I just had to get downtown So I reached into the glove box, another liquor store went down”

[-]

brassnut1@reddit

Infinite money hack.

[-]

Full-Metal-Jack-off@reddit

Step 1: buy a hi point Step 2: rob a liquor store Step 3: ?????? Step 4: profit

[-]

Khunning_Linguist@reddit

I wish this came with more than one mag. I may still get it as a BU piece for the shed.

[-]

DebbsWasRight@reddit

Make sure you spend the $80 for the five year service plan. Could end up saving you $18 in the long run.

[-]

GuaranteeShallop@reddit

Years ago I bought a brand new in box Hi point to prove to my bro it was ass. After breaking it in and using premium ammo, jam every other round smh. It’s quite literally a brick

[-]

hitemlow@reddit

premium ammo

That's your problem right there. You got to use that cheap shit with the round nose and the brass case. It doesn't like fancy hollow points or flat nosed ammo.

If it won't run Blazer Aluminum or Brass, contact Hi-Point for the lifetime warranty. It could be something as dumb as a bad magazine.

[-]

GuaranteeShallop@reddit

Bro I bought it for $50. Not doing all that 😂 it was brand new too

[-]

MiniBanjo@reddit

It does not want your fancy shit. It’s a cheap gun meant to shoot the ammo you find in the gutter for free

[-]

The_Malhavoc@reddit

Buy 4 get 1 free.

[-]

hitemlow@reddit

For an additional $64, you can get one that has 2 additional rounds in the magazine, a threaded barrel, accessory rail, and can have a red dot mounted.

[-]

bububulo@reddit

For another $103 you can get the 10mm.

[-]

gilbert2gilbert@reddit

And for $20 more than that you can get another high point and have one for each hand

[-]

Superflyjimi@reddit

Hi-Points are back baby!

[-]

whyintheworldamihere@reddit

What's funny is the only guy in my circle to actually have to shoot someone outside of the military did so with one of these. All of us running around with $3k custom 1911s and this guy getting work done for $100.

[-]

MiniBanjo@reddit

Arguably this gun has shot a lot more people in non-military or LE roles than any other gun in America

[-]

blackjoker4077@reddit

No fucking lie, I love my C9. I feel it all my nose-dived CCW rounds that I've chambered too much. I model painted the sights, and added tape to the handle, just gave it the full abuse/barbie doll treatment. One time, I even removed the magazine lockout bar and it would randomly drop the mag during fire... great for training. Paints all chipped and the plastic has a few gashes... but...

Still shoots accurately.

I did have to replace the striker springs on it (it's an older model) and Hipoint's CS sent me some free. Good dudes. Also, the 8 round mags fucking suck, even though they fit flush to the frame.

[-]

MiniBanjo@reddit

It’s a machine that functions perfectly in its intended purpose

[-]

justamiqote@reddit

I would buy one, but then I have to look the guy in the eye while he runs my background check.

[-]

thelegendofcarrottop@reddit

I ordered the Yeet Cannon a while back and my FFL was so disappointed in me. “I know the nice guns you have. Why are you doing this?” “Because I must. I must.”

[-]

PilotKnob@reddit

As a joke I picked up a .40 because I have a ton of LE ammo sitting around doing nothing. The joke is that the POS won't feed hollow point reliably, even after sending it back to Hi-Point for an inspection. It feeds FMJ just fine. Can I pay Hi-Point $100 to take it back? /s

[-]

bubbathedesigner@reddit

Contact them. Their customer service is simply above every other manufacturer. Their warranty would covered dipping it in a volcano if you send them the resulting blob.

[-]

PilotKnob@reddit

I already sent it back once, and they sent it back still not working right. I'm kinda done with them.

[-]

bigfatround0@reddit

speaking of hipoint, what's the verdict on the yc9? I remember everyone was hyped for it when it was announced at shotshow 2020(?), then complete silence when it was actually released.

[-]

hitemlow@reddit

They're fun and mostly reliable as long as you stay away from steel case, frangible, or flat-nose ammo. The 10 round magazine kinda blows because I don't live in an authoritarian state and it's a full-size handgun that would easily be able to fit more, and it really harshest the viability in Carry Optics division.

Once ProMag finally makes a 50 round drum, it'll be less of a sore subject.

[-]

bubbathedesigner@reddit

Belt fed FTW

[-]

bigfatround0@reddit

Really? I saw an old vid on yt just now that had it jam a lot.

[-]

hitemlow@reddit

There's also plenty videos of people torture testing them and having few to no failures. They're about as simple of a handgun as you can legally make in this country and that makes them surprisingly reliable.

They can be quite picky on ammo because they are straight blowback and don't tilt the barrel when loading the next round. But as long as you aren't using the types of ammo it hates, they generally run fine.

[-]

bigfatround0@reddit

I see. Might pick one up then. I was one of those people following the release of it so I've actually wanted one for a while.

[-]

salem_lakes_armory@reddit

Im wondering how a hi point ar15 can cost 6 hi points and not have hydro dipped bens on it

[-]

bubbathedesigner@reddit

Important question being asked here

[-]

GloryholeKaleidscope@reddit

Nature IS healed. At least once.

[-]

drivesanm5@reddit

I am now one hi-point richer lol

[-]

Alternative-Cut5221@reddit

Hi points have really been a hi point in my gun collecting career

[-]

MASTODON_ROCKS@reddit

They're great problem solvers, I love the frying pan melt feature

[-]

Sesemebun@reddit

These deals are funny but then when I break it down it’s like $200 after fees

[-]

street_sweeper_757@reddit

Not if you have one local, showing free shipping to store and I assume they don’t charge for transfers on products bought from them.

[-]

dougieg987@reddit

They do not charge FFL fee, just bought something there last week

[-]

street_sweeper_757@reddit

Think I’m gonna grab one just because I have a store local and not having any fees sweetens the deal imo

[-]

Askren@reddit

My local-local store has like, a $75 transfer fee and anything else around here is a pawn shop or kitchen table. So the idea of just not paying a transfer and walking out with a HiPoint is funny and might just be stupid enough to be worth it for the memes.
