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 ).

Rob Pincus and I had discussed Hi-Points. He opened my eyes at different aspects of the firearm. I owned one and it was very accurate and dependable. If you want to buy one, buy one. I was happy with mine but would rather have the .40 SW Version. Got rid of almost all of my 9mm's and went to a higher caliber. Not cheap, but I think it was a good decision. The Hi-Point I sold was gone in a matter of hours. For the price, they are awesome. But I wonder what would happen after several 100 or several 1,000 rounds were sent down range? I would still like to purchase one in .40 Smith and Wesson. My 9mm was a tack driver.  :)

Haz has a high volume of ammo through his, and he is a big supporter of Hi-Point........ I think the biggest draw back is their limited capacity.

I have one also, 9mm and have never had any problems.

+1 on the limited capacity.

It is great for a low income person who wants to protect themselves.

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.

No, Hi Point rifles do not use the same mags as the pistols.  One DUMB move if you ask me.

Thanks, Haz........I had wondered.....looks like it would have been a simple choice when designing them. Might have even boosted sales for the very reason dipisc posted about.

I would have bought a carbine long ago if they would take same mag as the hand gun and if they had higher cap ones, too.
