I myself own own a Hi-Point JCP .40 pistol, bought brand new for $200 with lifetime warranty. Fast forward 'bout 2 years and 10,000 rounds later it still shoots like a champ. You'll need to take extra care in cleaning due to the lower grade metals. Mine broke in at about 400 rounds and I've not had a jam since. At 20 meters I shoot better with the $200 Hi-Point than the $800 SIG that I carry (Hi-Point does not come to mind when I think concealment). At night while my SIG sits in the dresser waiting for the next day, the Hi-Point's under my pillow waiting for an intruder. As "different" as they are in cosmetics and handling, for home defense on a budget, they certainly have my endorsement. After shooting mine, my brother sold his Glock to buy one. But hey, to each his own right.

Bad gun-wise, gramma gave me a .32 break action revolver (brand name scaped off). the extractor was too short for the casings and would lock them down on the cylinder if actually tried to use it.

Made shooting not fun.

I have one of those that runs fine, especially on Wolf FMJ. However, I bought one of those Auto Ordnance carbines based on a good write up in Guns And Ammo. What a pile of excrement it is. "Customer Service" can only be reached by e-mail (if you're lucky).

Ok, I will fess up, the biggest POS I ever owned was a Heritage Rough Rider in .22 LR, terrible gun, the cylinder got stuck, the finish was terrible, and to top it all off, the gun didn't even shoot that great. I traded it in on a Ruger Single Six, and was much happier.

I had one of those as a kid! I loved the thing. Trick was to cock the hammer till it locked then continue pulling the hammer back all the way to the stops. That is what puts a BB into the chamber. Took me a while to learn. Also, the sights are worthless. But I did manage to hit my brother in the privates with it. That is why I don't have it anymore!!!

you shot your brother in the wedding tackle?
you beast!
you monster!
you cad!




actually thats pretty funny.
did you laugh when you did it?

I've been very cautious in my firearm purchases, and, to date, haven't purchased a piece of junk yet...

...and, after reading some of these posts, I know what to be even more cautious of buying.

I've got a HighPoint 9mm carbine. Bought it to be a wise ass and challenged the Departments SERT team in a 3 gun match. (Back when I could walk and run) beat all five, shot the carbine against H&K UMP's, I used an old kinda junkie Mouseberg 500 riot gun against Benelli semi-auto police guns. Pistol was Glock 22s, I sort of cheated had a 3.5 lb trigger and I tuned the action ( my gun ). My HP carbine has always been reliable, never had a stoppage with it and 5 magazines. It may be a pc of junk and it is, the stock ( I'm told they have a better stock for it) can be twisted 90 degrees and bent at the pistol grip abt 30 degrees. For going out and wasting ammo plinking it's a great gun.

My mac 11 jams about every 5 shots... but I'll keep it just to enrage the gun grabbers...

I have an old 16 gage shotgun that was given to me years ago and it just keeps hanging around. I always say I'm going to give it to my buddy for his son but just can't do it. I blame it on the idea that it is rude to give away a gift.

I like the Master Links holding that togather!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So many POS's and so little time lol. I had a Jennings .22 years ago. That was top of the POS list.
