I've had mid range firearms in the past. Springfield XD's, Ruger, Berretta. But with a wife, three kids, and the rising cost of ammo. I've had to sell, or trade most of those. I went with 22LR for awhile. Although they are fun. I wanted something a little more formidable. So I started researching hi-point carbines. I looked on YouTube, and google for reviews. After quite a bit of looking I learned that for the price. These carbines have many favorable reviews. Although they look weird. They are fun, and reliable. I now speak from experience. I bought a Hi-Point 995TSFG 9mm carbine. It's so fun to shoot. My wife, and kids (from 10-14 year olds) each really enjoy shooting it. The gun is accurate with the iron sights. But I put a holographic sight on also. Now it's rigged up for home defense i.e.( a tactical flashlight, and 3 magazines). I'm very happy with its performance, and looks. So for the price is paid, and quality firearm I received. I feel like my research really paid off. Plus all Hi -Point firearms have a lifetime warranty. How can you lose. So if you're on the fence about getting one. Just go buy one, it's a great value. I've also researched the pistols too. That's another blog! I hope this helped. Look for more items I've researched on Zombiesgunsandkayaks! Another good source is a video review by Nutnfacy on youtube.Here is a link to his review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouqWxI9oLG8
