It will look better in a holster at least now.

still and ugly POS

Looks like they rolled a turd in sprinkles

Coming soon to a ghetto near you!

Lipstick on a pig...

I get that Hi-point needs a massive slide, but they couldve made it way more aesthetic than it currently is. Same thing with the carbine, not hard to reshape the stock and be functionally the same.

It doesn’t need to be huge they could use heavier materials (lead, tungsten) to being the weight up in a more trim slide. But that would raise manufacturing cost.

 

[Reptile]

What kind of a person would buy a grip like that?

 

[Hetzer]

They should’ve made grips with dollar signs or $100 bills on them.

 

[KBCraig]

It will look better in a holster tackle box at least now.

FIFY

Seriously, though: nothing wrong with a Hi-Point, except looks. They work, every time. They're affordable.

Let's remember that the first bans were aimed at "Saturday Night Specials", a veiled racist reference to affordable handguns preferred by lower-income minorities.

Hi-Points are vastly superior in function, and vastly cheaper in inflation-adjusted dollars, than the RG and Jennings of yore.

Where's the one with duct tape and/or rubber bands around the grip?
That would be their best seller.

Agree, ugly as f*** would never buy one. But they work!

My first thought was "lipstick on a pig" but Radtekk beat me to it...

Oh, but they have!

There's no reason for people to go out of their way to shit on Hi-Point. They work quite fine for their intended purpose:

More Hi-Point self defense stories?

And they even work better than JMB's own (or God's own, if you're a parishioner of Father Frog) 1911 in mud:

I know it's been posted, but Demolition Ranch, he shot one with another gun and it still fired

 

[Dip Dungles]

Can't polish a turd

They do look a bit better with the wood grips, I like that carbon fiber one at bottom right. I've always liked that $100 bill finish tho, would buy if they made the .45 with that finish.

The grips aren't gonna motivate me to go buy one tho, not when new models with higher cap mags will be coming.

I agree. Because we all know the purpose of a tool is to look cute and match the owners manpurse and thong.
