Hi-point is not the most "NAME BRAND" weapon in the world
but those little Carbines are really neat. I ordered another one about
4 months ago and they were on a two month back order.
Must be selling a lot of them !
I wanted a black one not the Camo.. (those look kind of silly to me, Toy like)
I wish they held more rounds though. There is an aftermarket 15 rounder
but reviews I have read about it were not flattering ! These were designed so that
folks of lesser means could afford a decent weapon for self defence.
I think they advertised them as a "Working mans Gun" They fit this description pretty well !
I have read from folks who have fired many many more rounds through them than I have
with no Jams whatsoever. Not bad in my opinion.
Nice Avatar ! Being from Georgia I have several of those myself.
I am just glad we no longer have that GOOFY LOOKING blue flag !!!
Still not the Stars and Bars though !

I have the 4095 (same gun, just in 40 S&W).  They are pretty fun to shoot.  $125 out the door with a scope is a really good deal.  Their price is starting to go up on the auction sites, and the retailers are sure to follow shortly.

The only down-side to them is the magazine.  It would have been nice if they would have done what Kel-tec did and allow for the big-brand high capacity mags to be used.

I've fired quite a few boxes through mine, and can't remember ever having a jam.  Like I said, they are fun to shoot.  If you get a chance, go ahead and buy 3 or 4 extra mags for it.

I've seen the stock...and thought about getting it.  BUT, I like the "that's one ugly gun" reaction I get from folks when I put it out on the range.  It's kinda like that ugly girl at school...if she weren't so danged ugly, nobody would give her a second look.

Enjoy your new toy!
