Chiappa Rino
We got a couple of these monstrosities in at work. Although they don't feel as crappy as they look, no way would I buy one. The small one was almost $700 and the big un almost $800! Although the idea of the barrel firing from the bottom is interesting, and I am sure it does cut down some on muzzle flip, I just don't see the need. If you ever seen the insides of this thing, it looks more complicated than a Swiss watch. Way too many parts to break. I just aint impressed, in case I was being to vague.

Doesn't look like my thing either, Tim. But then again, neither did the G19 for many years.

I believe it's a tad bit more ugly than a Glock, more like a cross breed between Hi Point and a Glock....

They do look a bit funky but for the money you could have a GP100 and a few boxes of .357 ammo.

with that attitude????

the PR blunder is the final paragraph of what was an intelligent response to this possible issue............
Quote:
Others may prefer to wrap the revolver and their head in aluminum foil, curl in a ball and watch reruns of Mel Gibson's 1997 film, Conspiracy Theory. Well, that's a plan too!
sense of humor aside, such statements can not be productive for gun sales as it will likely fuel a back-lash and it was uncalled for.

i see hi-point taking a hit on this as mks is their parent company.
