Hi Point JHP

All the Hi-Point haters out there will love this story.

I purchased the ultimate in inexpensive guns. A Hi-Point.
I took it to the range and loved it. No jams, and it was pretty accurate.

It is, however, very ugly and awkward. But nevertheless. The power of a .45 for very little money was the way to go for me.

Well, after field stripping it, I noticed marks inside the barrel that didn't look normal so I sent it in to be worked on. I requested the barrel get replaced.

The people on the phone were great to deal with. And they understood my concern with wanting them to look at it.

It was returned in about two days to me. That was excellent. But as soon as I opened the box, I noticed something was wrong immediately. This is where the Hi-Point haters will start to nod their heads and mutter to themselves "see, I told ya so".

The gun was complete with a new lock, new ghost ring sights, new magazine....new manual.....
(All I returned to the factory was the gun by itself.)
Hey, I must have gotten free stuff, right? Nothing wrong with that!

Then I looked at the barrel and saw that its condition was worse than the one I had sent in to them.

The final problemo was realizing why I got all sorts of extra goodies. It wasn't my gun. The serial number was wrong.

Well. This wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I sent it in to them. I kind of expected to, you know, get it fixed or something. Instead...I got the wrong gun back.

Now, I'm sure that MANY people have had great luck with Hi-Point. Hell, even I was having great luck with it until I took it apart to clean it. However, it seems like if and when you have bad luck with them...you REALLY have bad luck.

If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have none, and Hi-Point has become yet another example of that. We'll see what happens when I call them tomorrow. I'd kind of like to have my gun back.

You know, it happens to be registered to me after all.
