field stripping hi-point handguns and carbines
ok-ok---i know the hi-point is held in low esteem here on this forum
and for good reason. I'd like to know: do the newer handguns still have to have a roll pin drifted out for a take-down? I once owned a stallard arms 9mm (the predecessor of hi-point) and got rid of it for 3 reasons
1:) Ugly as sin 2:) the sights were unacceptable! 3:) if you wanted to clean from the breach you had to pull the slide back most of the way and using a drift and hammer drive a roll pin out
really stinx.
i'd like to know if those 9mm carbines also take down like that
and if the newer hand guns have to do that for a field strip also
i'd consider that .40 s&w since they now have fully adjustable sights??? but not if you still have to drift that 'ball' out.---also
anyone like the new sights??? This is "NOT" for home protection----for that we will continue to use a shotgun and a 357 magnum...... this one would be strictly a plinker since we obtained a few boxes of cheap ammo and 1,000 empty brass casings in on a trade.

I have the Hi Point 40S&W Carbine and I think it is great I use it for home protection. I have token it apart but not fully. I know the new handguns need a hole punch to get the slide off. And the 40 Carbine has fully adjustable sights. After i shoot another hundred rounds i will take it fully apart and email you about the carbine "pin"
I also have a website with a lot of more info and pics on it than the www.hi-pointfirearms.com website the link is in my sig

Thanks Punk
went to your web site
fun place
especially like the pics of girls n guns
my two personal favorites blended together. Found out the newer pistols all do have to be drifted out with a punch for complete take down
will have to pass on the hand guns
would very much like to find out about that .40 caliber carbine take-down proceedure.
Thanks Again! Larry

Mr. Punk in checking out your site I saw where 2 parts were broken on a .40 cal carbine by it falling after being propped against a wall.
Seems kinda 'fragile' to me, no matter how nice the factory people are, or how fast they got the replacement parts to me.

The part the shattered was slamed against Mexican tile and the other part was slamed against it at the same time its all my fault so I dont really think that they would have broke on there own

So being cheaply made had nothing to do with it?
I bet if my Garand and/or my Colt AR-15A2 went through your same 'test' nothing would break!
