    Default Hi Point 45 Cal Pistol ?

    I have an oppurtunity to get a hi point 45 cal. pistol with 2 extra mags. I would like any personal intel on the weapon if you mugs have any.
    The price is great and I am looking to get an off duty weapon for carry now that I am within spiiting range of retiring.

    I have seen some decent reviews and know someone that has one but it is not a comfortable gun to shoot. If you are on a budget then it may be worth it but I would ask if you could shoot it first to see what you think. mixed reviews about actually shooting it with it being uncomfortable to shoot.

    Friend has one and I did shoot it. He has had no issues with it, when I shot it, it was heavy, the blowback style takes a bit to get used to (one relates to the other). Limited knowledge says it seems to be a reliable multi-tasking brick.
    For carry I wouldn't, but for a spare to keep in the tool box ....maybe.

    It is gonna be heavy as hell (due to blowback operation) and you'll have a very hard time finding any acceptable holsters for it. As a truck gun it would be fine.

    A review
    http://www.shootingtimes.com/handgun...ipoint_100605/

    "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

    I had one when I was up in AK, yeah...I wouldn't buy it unless you just really want a .45. I'm an ambidextrous pistol shooter and I just couldn't get used to it in either hand, plus it weighed way too much for a pistol. It could have been that I just didn't shoot it enough, but I didn't really like it much. I'd save your money and buy a more quality pistol.

    For fucks sake, since you are a brother in blue I would rather give you a backup piece than you buy that one.

    You can buy a brand spanking new one from a buddy's gun shop for 199.00. There is a reason why it is so cheap. The early ones were know to fire when dropped.

    For what you can buy a "Blue Line Glock" as a LEO you should go that route.
