[thelocal]

whats everyone thought on them?

Pros:American made,cheap, reliable

cons:Some people dont like the way they look

im no expert and these are just my pros and cons,not my professional opinion

thinking of getting there .45 carbine.. thoughts?just seems like a good price

[Methos]

They feel like cheap pieces of shit to me... cheap though.

The thing is they have great reviews on YouTube and the army and navy are making a switch to them..according to a interview I watched on YouTube

[Bravo]

no way the army or navy is making a switch to them

also a long gun in a hand gun caliber....would much rather have a rifle caliber in a long gun

sold them at our gun shop, some work and some were 100% worthless


no way I would buy one

a gun is something you might need to use to keep yourself alive...saving 100 bucks and buying something like this= bad investment

Depends on where you are looking for an AR. I have been finding damn good ones at pre-December prices. For the price of one of these, you can put one hell of a down payment on an AR. Set up a fund. Stick $250 in it every month. In 3 or 4 months, you could buy or build a damn good AR.

The Hi Point carbine is at best a cheap truck or camp gun. A straight blow back design that relies on a heavy weight to keep it in battery. A Mil Spec AR is light years ahead of that design. Buy once cry once.
