That's even cheaper than dirt!, lol

Lot of hate for Hi-Points, people claim they're ugly, but it apparently it goes bang every time you pull the trigger, so there's that, lol

As I recall the "Hi Point's" are a well known POS!

Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

That is kind of expensive for a rat drowner weight because that is all they are good for. As the old saying goes, "Nice ain't cheap and cheap ain't nice".


I have nothing clever to put here.

It's a straight blowback design that is usually limited to .380 and smaller. Therefore the slide has to be very heavy to counteract the discharge. Think brick heavy. So, heavy duty pockets and when it's empty, it makes a good thrower.

They are heavy and ugly. I shot one a friend had and hit shot well at 15 yards. Functioned flawless. Do I want one no. They are cheap and work and for people with little income a good way to protect themselves.

I took a firearms class for private security. One of the other students had the firing pin from a Highpoint permanently embedded in his cheek bone from when it exploded, while he was firing it. He received $40,000.00 in damages, after his lawyer got his cut. The metal in the Mavericks, which later became Highpoints is frequently referred to as pot metal.

I've only handled one and I have no hesitation in calling it a piece of crap.

A lot of them get turned in at gun "buybacks", a name which has never made sense to me. That's the best use for one.
