I feel so dirty….

Posted on by

In my defense…it’s chambered in .45 AARP, has three mags, and had no paperwork. So, yeah ,for $100 I’ll take it. Maybe sell it to someone who just wants something to keep under the seat of the truck for euthanizing deer or something.

Still…I feel so…sleazy….

  1. Sometimes you just gotta go with flow an spend the money. The universe was sending you a message, and the karma was right.

    • Stop giving money to organizations who spend it to lobby for more gun control!
      Are the small discounts really worth selling your gun rights for?

    • Several years ago I joined AARP for the discounts. About the only thing I used was their discount on hotels. Within 6 months I learned that they are VERY anti-gun. I let my membership expire. Then I contacted them to send me info on joining. I started receiving mail from them weekly. All I did was toss it in the trash. My reasoning for this was to COST THEM MONEY. I you do your research, you will find other ways to save money; whether it is on cell phones, hotels, car rentals, or food.

      • Hint, if you receive mail from organizations you don’t like, open the envelope and see if there is a return envelope with postage paid. Tear up the rest of the papers and shove them back in the postage paid envelope. Maybe even add a little weight to it. Send it off. The more it weights, the more they pay.

    • Don’t the pharos themselves keep empherma in the god emperor’s place of permanent residence?

  10. Say what you want, there have been plenty of confirmed cases of mutual combat conducted with HP pistolas.

    A great option for a cache too. Good luck finding a decent holster.

      • I suppose, but I’d be too embarassed to be seen carrying it around anyway, so…..

        • There’s a moped reference in here somewhere.

          But in all seriousness, it’s a great candidate for a cache gun or a loaner.

          Especially at that price. Great score.

  11. I feel dirty just looking at it!!!! Now, I have to break out the doggie porn to get this out of my head!!! lol

  12. I have one….kick ass pistol–fires EVERY time–spits out EVERY kind of ammo I have put in it–AND accurate!! kind of heavy but I am OK with that, takes away some of the “kick”–I don’t care what others say–I have 4 friends that have the 45 hi point and we all agree on the pros and pay NO attention to the cons or the “gun snobs”

  13. So you bought a Hi-Point firearm – so what ? May as well take it out and compare its characteristics to other .45s and see what 20% of the cost to others is a bargain or not. I’d say for a C-note unpapered – you done good.

    • I have several. Like any gun, it works well within it’s limits.
      I find that most people who criticize them have never shot one.

      • I used t be one of those people (dissing look without shooting). The original 9mm ‘Planet of the Apes’ carbine was it. Saw it in person at a gun show, picked it up and mounted to my shoulder.

        Sights lined up perfectly with my hold. Did it again several times. – same result. I put it down, walked around a bit, than decided why not – tons of cheap blasting ammo (at the time),

        It shoots well for a 9mm I think. Not a tack driver, but a Dinty Moore empty stew can shakes in fear inside 30 yards, gallon water jugs at 50. Don’t leave in full sun – smooth black stock will burn you cheek.

  14. AARP=commie.
    A Hi-Point! It could save your bacon or it could jam.
    You don’t see too many Jennings or other Bryco weapons around anymore either.
    Bryco Jennings 9mm $110 at Gun Value.

  15. Aren’t we the snobs? There are some folks of very limited means that are in the same camp we are, and they own Hi Points. The reason they own them is because they can’t afford anything better, and they’re real guns and they work. Let’s not discourage gun ownership because of limited income.

    • Hmmm…best I can tell I said that the HiPoint was beneath me. Didnt see anything about me telling other people not get one.

  18. It looks like they couldn’t make up their mind. Either Lost in Space or Home with Bob Villa were the inspiration. It falls somewhere between a ray gun and a hammer. Won’t work for one but would serve as the other.

  19. I don’t mind having an ugly wife. As long as she can cook.
    But I refuse to have an ugly gun. It’s just not right with the world.
    But then hell. What is right these days in the Bizzaro world we live in.

  20. I live in Ohio, the soon to be any law abiding citizen can carry concealed state. I actually lived to see it happen. I don’t talk gun ownership on the internet but I have a working knowledge of high point 9mm. I think I may have shot a rented high point .45 at a range a long time ago. It was kind of clunky but it did work. It is so heavy there is not much kick after the huge blow back slide does its work. As others have said, it would make a fairly hefty club. I would not pound nails with it though. The metal is a bit brittle and if it is like the 9mm the design flaws will eventually cause the slide to break where the recoil spring detents and send the spring downrange.

  21. Homely as a mud fence, but reliable and will not let you down.. excellent “extra” insurance….
