  My neighborhood would be seized up Hi-Points

    I have a .45 Hi-Point carbine. Flawless operation, had never malfunctioned, weighs 10-pounds, impossible to clean. Along with other… odd design choices.

    Hi-Points are what you get by giving a group a very smart engineers a list of things the product needs to do. A group of engineers that has never seen an actual gun.

      I have a Hi-Point .45 pistol and that pretty accurately describes it (the weight is fine but the balance is weird and makes it feel terrible).

      I use it as a close range backup when I’m hog hunting. I’ve only had to use it once and it worked just fine. It literally saved me from being at least maimed and possibly dead but I still hate it. And I’ll keep using it until it stops working, which may be the apocalypse.

        Damn. I really want one, but I already have a Colt .45 and the weight is the same.

        Speaking of hogs, I’m outside all the time in NW Florida and have never seen one or evidence of them. OK, two came to my house, apparently lost, but I’ve never seen them in the wild. Horror of mine as a sounder would level my camp in the boonies.

      I have a Sig Sauer p320, had to send it in to get the “drop issue” fixed. Doesn’t matter how much you spend, engineering failures are everywhere. Not so much a knock on Hi Point as the neighborhood is live in. The one I found discarded in my yard two years ago had been rusted to the point of being inoperable.

        Another Person of Culture and Class I see. I too have a Sig P365XL.

        Though I prefer my Remington New Army for most things.

  P-90 or PS-90

    P90, it’s Secret Service sponsored entrapment.

  A p90 and not a complementary Five-seveN?! How unamerican.

  Kids just primarily prefer a handgun cartridge that’s suitable for putting into a rifle for game hunting. Colt .45 or .357 magnum should do the trick.
