Re: hi-point firearms

Hi Point firearms are reliable and accurate. I've shot the 9mm & 45 acp in the handguns. I also got some trigger time with the 45 acp carbine. The fixed barrel in the Hi Points make them inherently...

The supply for .380 is pretty high in some European countries. They aren't allowed to use military calibers. Many have moved to the .380 acp or 9x17mm. There is also not near...
