The root of my problem with Hi-Point selling "affordable" pistols, is that there are so many affordable pistols already available that are better. And they really aren't improving much by offering pot metal slides and a threaded barrel. (Can the person who can only afford a $200 pistol afford the $200 tax stamp plus average $500 cost of a 9mm suppressor necessitating the threaded barrel?)

Here is a video that I created showing some highlights of our trip. I left out the general debauchery.

@ 1:02 I sure glad you got a picture of that backpack in the frame. I wondered why your picture was framed to the right.

So what are thoughts on it? Seems spendy for a striker fired poly gun. It sounds like a nice unitz and from NEMO I'm sure it is. Just a bit rich.

Nemo makes a good product, hands down. Their care and quality also demands a higher price point.
Is it better than any other striker gun out there? That opinion is in hands of the individual shooter. We didn’t shoot it, but it handled nicely at the booth. That’s akin to asking if we would buy a high end sports car when we only sat in the drivers seat in the showroom for 30 seconds. |

Like Dan said, we only got to fondle it rather than shoot it. My first impression was "nice pistol" and then I heard the price and thought "boy, they're proud of it." Not sure I would drop that kind of cash over a "lesser" pistol that you could modify and improve to your liking for the same or maybe less money. _________________ Armed insurance broker.

Thanks for the video, spotted & checked out that AR tools kit from Real Avid and found a couple of neat things that they offer that I need.

Looks nifty, but I could never remember what all those functions are. To me, it would wind up being an expensive pocketknife with pliers built in.  _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.
