Anonymous Coward User ID: 564424 United States 08/29/2010 05:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had thought about getting one of their .45 carbines when they finally started shipping, but those broken slides are making me re-think that. Don't think I want a pot metal receiver shattering inches from my face. Quoting: Evil TwinYup, the carbines are made of the same stuff. On the previous page, I posted a video of a front slide fracture of a hi point. So, it's not just the one hi-point. It's obviously a materials problem. I hear the 9mm carbines work well, they don't have any real negative reputation. Aside from looking like those ugly-ass guns from Planet of the Apes. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 564424 United States 08/29/2010 05:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | my 9mm Baretta jams every 100 rounds or so. My Hi-point 9mm Carbine, Pistol and .45 have never jammed. Very reliable and inexpensive. I sold the Barretta for $450.00-SUCKER! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1083380It's only your face, neck, chest, hand and arms right? LMAO, truth be told though. I would never own a Beretta anyways. I can't stand slide mounted controls, and it's their goto system. |

LMAO, you fail loser. who said i didnt know? maybe i wanted to give you enough rope to hang yourself with bitch-tits. you use the term "pot metal" to get people to think of cast iron toys or pots that break when dropped on the floor. you couldnt be more wrong, also hi-points are reinforced in vital areas. does anybody really think that a company is gonna sell guns that they think will explode in your hands???!!! and give a lifetime warranty too???!!!! c'mon think. its just "cool" with the mall ninja crowd to poke fun at and quote bullshit statistics about hi-points. end of story.

I'm the one saying you don't know. Because you have demonstrated ignorance of what Hi-Points are made of, and demonstrated an ignorance of what Zamak-3 is known as. You claim I am making Zamak-3 sound cheap "pot metal", when the truth is that you just didn't know pot metal was really called Zamak. BTW, cast iron is not pot metal. The fact is that Hi-points ARE made of Zamak-3, also known as pot metal. You can try to dispute that all you want, but the company themselves admit it. I am not wrong, I posted the interview where the company itself admits it. You obviously skipped that one up. Yes, Hi-Point slides do have steel reinforcements. Now go find me a Carbon Steel or Stainless Steel, that needs the same reinforcement. You won't find it, because Zamak-3 is only half as strong as Carbon or Stainless Steel. I haven't quoted any bullshit statistics. I've shown two different Hi-Points. One in pictures, one on video. Both with slide cracks at different places. And quoted the company themselves. If proof is bullshit, then so be it. You think proof is bullshit...congratulations. |
