It's ugly and it ain't cheap.

But since it's a .22LR, at least it choots cheap!

It looks like it should be painted green and silver with an orange tip.

Get rid of that uglyassed slide, and it wouldn't look insanely hideous....

 

[adam01364]

But then it'd look, well, ordinary.
And "ordinary" simply doesn't command an inflated price tag.

That is rather crazy on the price isn't it?

Personally I don't care for the slide. But can't say the price is out of line either. I paid that for my GSG 1911/22 with aftermarket slide and Burris Fastfire. All told the guy put $700+ into it.

So it looks like they started with a real gun in 9mm then had to cut the hell out of that slide to get it to cycle with a .22lr
Same page shows a 9mm that looks pretty similar.

I looked this gun up. It looks like it started out as this before it got uglyized.

That looks like a Beretta slide on a polymer frame.
Are those Turkish made?

$2.17 per slide with the highest tolerance, smoothest surface, most complex geometry, 6x2x2 envelope with 75% fill, using ZA-8, since they didn't have 3 and I didn't want to play with the slides.

How much you estimate the production cost of a Hipoint handgun to be?
$35-$40?

Depends on how fast you need to amortize start up costs, and what you pay your help.

But yeah, I think you are close.

 

[Rachgier]

Probably closer to $50 to keep it on the high side with all the overhead included.
