Hi-Point .45 ACP Carbine
Hi-Point has finally produced a carbine chambered in .45 ACP. From the press release …
As with the 9mm and .40 Caliber Hi-Point carbines the longer barrel will increase velocity figures between 80-200 FPS over a like chambered handgun, especially with +P loads. These velocity increases coupled with the fat formidable .45 round, improved carbine handling and a longer sighting radius over a handgun make this an excellent gun for small game (Hi-Point Carbines are legal for deer in some states), plinking, home defense and law enforcement.
The robust all weather black molded polymer skeletonized stock is both tough and light in weight. Additionally the forearm offers an excellent grabby surface regardless of conditions or whether the user is wearing gloves, mitts or is bare handed. The carbine has three top-side and forearm bottom Picatinny rails for optional vertical grips, lasers, optics and lights.

I don’t understand why Hi-Point does not produce a standard capacity magazines. Nine rounds for .45 and ten round for 9mm can no longer be considered standard capacity.

My husband bought a .45 carbine . I liked it so much I got him to buy me one. This is the first rifle I can actually shoot . No recoil, ladies if you want a really good rifle buy this one.
I didn't know guns were participants in beauty pageants. What does it get if it wins? I want and I'll keep my ugly .45 carbine and my ugly AK47's all day long. Why? In the case of my AK's they'll shoot all day long and once you figure them out, they are as accurate as YOU'LL ever need it to be. Maybe I should go buy another AK and paint it up all pretty and put ribbons and bows on it and add some glitter to it. I wonder,,,,will that make it more reliable? I'll let ya'll know if it improves its' shooting ability. Good grief.........
