Who’s buying the Hi-Point AR?

I mean you can can get a a complete PSA upper + lower for $350 + shipping, so somewhere around $400 total. There use to be sales where you could get it even cheaper than that. Not sure how they are going to compete in the poverty pony market especially when this is a entirely new product.

Putting out bottom barrel ARs is a game of scale and I doubt hi-point can compete with PSA in that game. Even if they can push it down to the same price point as PSA or Anderson it will be at the cost of what little qc still exists.

if they came out with a "Hi Point Problem Solver" ar-15 that was some kind of blowback pistol caliber carbine (or pistol, et c) that might sell on meme value alone.

Out of curiosity, how much does a 16ga slamfire-capable Ithaca 37 go for? I inherited this one from my grandfather, not planning on selling it but I'd like to know if it's worth maybe cleaning it up. It's in decent shape for the most part, the furniture is rather "dull" though.

Maybe $350 - $500. If you need an exact value, I'll run it from my Blue Book of Gun Values. It's all market and geographic area driven in any case.

New setup. Echelon 4.0c with a vortex defender ST green dot. Absolute blast to shoot.

Please don't buy a tiny pocket pistol as your first gun.
They typically are not fun to shoot.
Look for something about the SIZE of a glork 19 or 48.
22lr is a great caliber to start with though!
Ruger 22/45 or Browning Buckmark make for excellent first pistols IMO.

Agreed 100%. Glock 19 sized shit is the best intersection of concealability, shootability, and comfort. If you're gonna go for a pocket size I recommend the bodyguard 2.0 in 380, which is going to be my next purchase.

Edit: Didn't wanna double post but I see people inquiring about the RxM. Would 100% recommend now that I've owned mine for a while and it's getting a flux chassis and different size grip modules.

Hey @Club Sandwich , is my stupid idea of a modernized C96 in .454 Casull even possible?
Click to expand...
yes, and people have done it in .45 Long Colt, .38 ACP, even 9x25mm Mauser, although not magazine fed. the basic layout is convenient for large calibers with the sole exception of needing a robust breechblock that can deal with the pressure generated as well as cycle reliably without magazine overruns. with a C96, the breechblock is back far enough that poor cycling is prone to failures much more so than on a more typical browning layout where the feed is controlled by portions of the frame, slide, and breech to active guide the cartridge into position.

I'd only recommend PSA as range toys or someone who shoots like twice a year.
