·Hello Hi-Point fans.
I'm a new Hi-Point C9 owner and I just wanted to say hi, and break the cycle of lurking now that I have survived the 10 day waiting period.
I'll get the ball rolling with a statistic. In 2007, the most recent year available, Beemiller Inc, Haskell Manufacturing Inc, and Iberia Firearms Inc. (the manufacturers behind Hi-Point) collectively produced over 121,000 firearms. That means that in terms of semiautomatic handguns, they are only behind Sturm Ruger & Company Inc with 140k and the industry giant; Smith and Wesson Corp. with 259k. Those are some pretty impressive numbers for a company that many hold in low regard.
