Hi Point 9mm. Carbine with Tasco Red Dot Sight

10 rounds with the Hi Point 9mm. Carbine at 15 yards

Boy am I glad Ken called and invited me over the the Holmes Harbor Rod and Gun Club range for a little shooting. It was just what I needed to remind me that when you stop practicing, your shooting deteriorates rapidly. REALLY deteriorates. As in SUCKS! You will notice that I haven't posted any .22 caliber targets. Just as well....

I've now heard the wake-up call, and I need to get back into regular shooting, since there's only a month until the matches start up again for the season.

The only highlight was the Hi Point 9mm. carbine. As I get more rounds through it, it's shooting better and better. The trigger, although it has a fairly long travel, it's getting smoother and more predictable. I've got a fairly inexpensive Tasco red dot sight on it, and it seems just about right.

The more I shoot the Hi Point, the more fun it seems to get! Almost no recoil, not a single jam or mis-feed, economical both to buy and to feed, and it's one of those EEEVIL black rifles, which makes it all the more cool!

For a short barreled 9mm., it's also not too bad for accuracy, considering what it is, and what it's intended to do.

The above target is a 1/2" bull, and that's ten rounds, all through the same ragged hole, 3 or 4 seconds between shots.

Sure glad I was hitting the target with the Hi Point, most everything else was embarassing.............
