Rossi Rifleman

My newest addition to our (small but growing) collection is a Hi-Point .40 S&W Carbine. Paid $299. Got it last weekend, took it to the range today to just get familiar with it. 100 rounds later I have to say I like it.

One of the other officers at my unit had a spare foregrip w/bipod - great addition.

For what it's worth, my wife likes the CJ .45/.410 better.

Looks like it works well. To be honest I would expected less after reading about the 9mm version.

Good for you.

Chief, your wife has good taste in firearms

Make smoke,

I read some, um, unkind things about them as well. But a very good friend of mine, retired cav scout (tabbed Ranger, Sniper, and Sapper as well) had very good things to say about the carbines, including the 9mm. In fact, after we talked he said he was going to go buy another one.

In short - when it comes to weapons, I trust those whom *I* know know weapons over some random dude on the Interwebs. And yes, I see the irony, since I'm that random guy right now.

I see your point as I'm another guy on the internet as well.

But like I said, it works!

That's what matters.

Hi-Point is made in the USA. They shoot well and are built like a tank. Not the easiest carbine to field strip and the magazines only work in Hi-Point firearms.

If I didn't have a Kel Tec Sub2000 that shares magazines with my Glock 22, I would have gotten a Hi-Point. The most persistent negative I hear about the Hi-Point carbine is that it is butt ugly. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I like to shoot my guns, not eyeball them.

I've had the 995 9mm carbine since the Clinton ban days never failed very accurate. They have unbeatable warranty. I broke my stock my fault and they replaced it free of charge. let the gun do the talking on the range as it will generally outshoot the guys or gals that ridicule the gun. Nice gun thanks for sharing.

Just got a matching Hi-Point .40 S&W pistol. Can't wait to take the pair to the range.
