ZM> Ahhh... Hi Points... My brother has one. Bought it new for $80.

I find that most people who hate Hi-Points have never actually owned one. I've
got a pistol and a carbine, both in .45 ACP. I wouldn't enjoy carrying the
pistol, it's too damned heavy, but with a fixed barrel it's a hell of a lot
more accurate than the locked breech .45's I own. The carbine is also damned
handy at putting rounds right where I want them and it doesn't look so bad
either. Both are damned reasonable pricewise and you sure as hell can't beat
the warranty.
ZM> BTW I have a 1967 M1 Carbine.
ZM> What a nice looking little rifle. I have the side-by-side short clip

All my guns are shooters. I wouldn't own a gun that I haven't or don't intend
to shoot at least once.
ZM> I have to admit tho I like the cheap guns AND the nice ones.

ZM> with Hi Point),
I've spent as little as $75 (for a Sundance A-25) to as much as $1500 (Uzi Pro)
for pistols, bought rifles for anywhere from $50 (A $100 deal on a Marlin 25N
and a Savage 954 LS) to $1250 on a M1 Garand and the same on an M1 Carbine. I
pretty much am at the point now where my want list is getting pretty short.
I'm interested in the C.O.P. 357, have wanted one ever since I first saw one
back in the 80's. Have some oddballs to be sure. Like I said, the list is
short, but that's the list. Opportunistic purchases are always a possibility!
Cheers!
