Hello to all;
I have tried to find a HiPoint .40 S$W carbine around my area and and none to be found in Dealer shops. I did e-mail the National Distributor of the carbines and he stated that HiPoint is planning/wanting to have more 9's and .40's made in 2010.
Tha purpose of the purchases is to have a Rifle and Pistol in the same caliber to carry IF the need in an emergency/event happens - with out the need to worry about caring 2 different caliber's of ammo.
One of my Nephews has a 9mm Carbine and love's it. I guess I'll have to get a 9mm Carbine also. Since he is married w/children - he hit's me up for ammo from time to time. I guess we will just have 1 or 2 more reloading parties in the future, but then also he has short hands and deep pockets ( LOL ).
Solid idea, IMHO.
I have friend who is a LEO for a small town police department and their issued duty pistol is the Glock 22 (.40 S&W). He wanted a backup weapon that would augment his duty pistol, so he was approved to privately purchase a Kel-Tec rifle in .40 S&W. It uses the same magazines as his duty gun, and he keeps it folded in his duty bag on the front seat.
Do Hi-Point rifles use the same mags as the pistols?
That would be a bonus, to own one of each in the same calibers.
