Went to the range tonight with an assortment of handguns.Two guys were there trying out an HK USP and a Berretta 92fs which they had rented in an attempt to decide which was the gun for them.After shooting and talking to them(at different times) they happened to notice my compensated 9mm Hi-Point on the platform and were intrigued by its looks.They asked if they could try a couple of full mags and to make a long story short they had a blast shooting it and thought it was definitely superior to the HK or Berretta they shot before and after! That Hi-Point of mine can shoot some mighty tight groups!
P.S. Denfoote,have you ever been to the desert?
 
Tropical Z,

hahahahahahaha{pounds desk}hahahahahahaha

You should be a science fiction writer with that imagination you got. :p
 
Its interesting, but on the CZ Forum, where you have many "born-again" CZ lovers, several of the shooters who have both guns (CZ and HP) these guys love their CZs but give the HP slightly better marks.

I have both, and agree with them.

(I have a tuned CZ-85 Combat and an older Browning Hi-Powe -- which is absolutely stock except for the removal of the magazine safety.)

It you need DA/SA rather than SA (as when shooting in Stock Service Pistol Class in IDPA), the CZ is the way to go. I shoot both in IDPA.
 
hi point?

Hi Point? Is that the pistol with the huge slide ...... that looks like the offspring of an "Alien" creature mating with a Glock? ;)
 
Well....

I must admit that one time I went out somewhere in the godforsaken Indian reservation to shoot with a buddy and his brother in law. Both of these guys were just getting into guns, and had gone on an AK47 and various handgun buying spree (this was right before Y2K)

The brother in law dude brought along a Glock 21 and a HiPoint in .45acp. We were shooting up a decomposing dead dog and empty firewater bottles when the brother in law whipped out the Hi Point. The first thought in my head was, "Holy crap, WTF is that POS?!"

The dude mentioned that he paid only $139 for it, and he liked it "way better" than his Glock 21. True to his word, he shot 300 rounds through the Hi Point that day and only a mere magazine full through the Glock.

My friend, who had never shot a handgun before, tried them both out. He told me in private (so that he wouldn't offend his BIL) that he preferred the Glock. However, I did notice the same pained look on his face that I had when the dude brandished the Hi Point! (maybe a gun snob already in the making) I didn't think much of what he was saying, because he couldn't hit with either!

Now to me. I've got to admit, I was too much of a snob to even shoot the Hi Point. I just nodded my head when he was showing me the Hi Point as to say, "Yeah, cool, dude! That thing is CHOICE!" Then I said, "Naw, that's okay. I don't want to find out a $139 gun is better than my Kimber." when he offered to let me shoot it. My tongue was practically bleeding I was biting it so hard!

Next time I go shooting with those guys, I'll try to give the Hi Point a fair evaluation.:D
 
Mylhouse,

You're KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!
ahahahahahahahahahahaha (pounding, kicking desk and flipped over the chair) hahahaha.

I haven't laughed that hard since I woke up and found my sister's head sewn to the carpet.

Not at you, but your descriptions. Kid, your just killing me. I laughed so hard, I cried, pissed and almost **** myself.

You probably won't believe this, but one day I was camping in the desert and I found a Hi-Point buried in the desert! Wow! what a surprise to me! I laugh out loud! Cleaned it up and it worked perfectly, never had any papers blow away all the time I had it.
