I wonder where the person with the 45 cal Hi-Point carbine purchased his? I was just at the Hi-Point web site last week and the release was still pending. Anything over $300 retail is too much, I'd buy another AK or a Draco Pistol or SKS. I purchased my 995 when they came out in the mid 90's NIB for $125. Once they put the new stock on them, their prices have gone up. The thing that I like about them is their compact size, for $300+ you can get much better weapon. I'd consider another AK or a nice 30-30 lever action, ammo gets a little pricey for the 30-30. I'm trying to keep my ammo down to 3-4 common calibers, 7.62x39, 9mm, various loads of 12 ga., and .22 cal. I would like to have a 1911 style .45 pistol. I have a Tokerev 9mm but that sure doesn't have the take down power of a 45! If you can afford it you need a good ammo stash JIC and not live in a large metro area!
