Hey look at that it's a hi-point ugly firearm but flawless tool from time to time you get a funky mag you may need to bend the flanges and file the feed ramp on the mag once you get familiar with it and get your tweaks done they run with the best of them and they are hard to destroy I carryed one for a long time and have no complaints considering the price compared to other companies this really isn't a conceal firearm so if that's you intent I suggest you keep looking if you want a good home defence that's easy to grab and go this might be what you want love there 100%warrenty I lost a part while cleaning one day called hi-point to find out where I could buy the part took down my information and shipped me the part free of charge good people

It’s a great deal for a first time buyer. The shipping was quick and painless. Great price. Will definitely come back again.

Junk you could maybe get one or two rounds out before Jam

What can I say. It's a hi point. Okay gun just to shoot around with. Would not rely on it for self defense. If you want a cheap gun just to shoot its fine. I actually haven't any jams or ftf with my first 100 rounds. Just remember you get what you pay for. It's only a 2 star gun but I knew that before I bought it. Buds did a great job as always.

I bought this gun for my daughter as her first gun. I was a little weary of buying a lower priced gun because I can be a gun snob. This gun functioned flawlessly with no FTE or FTF. Gun was built very tight and accuracy was very good. Buds was good as usual.

After watching Hickock45's review of Hi Point pistols, I decided to try one. I bought a 380 from Buds as it has become my store of choice. It's a real funky gun. Even in 380 it is kind of massive. If you miss the bad guy, you could aways beat him with it. I immediately ran 200 target grade rounds through it and was very pleased. I did have some problems with double feeds (as Hickock45 suggested would happen...he thinks its a problem with the magazine) It was accurate, experienced minimal recoil, and was very comfortable in my hand. I don't plan on it being my carry gun(I carry a Springfield XDs 9) as it is a bit heavy but it is a great nightstand gun for home defense, Time will tell if I continue to enjoy it. If I do, you'll hear about it from me. Len Smith

this was myfirst online order of a firearm. I got my hi-point 380 very fast. Looks nice and clean went to range that weekend. I had trouble with miss firing and feeding. But my own fault using cheap russian amno. I took it home broke it down with complete cleaning and polish of feed ramp.Back to range with better amno and no problem. Very pleased. I will order from buds again.

PRETTY GOOD LITTLE GUN. IT HAS A FEW TINY SCRATCHES ON IT, BUT I DON'T CARE, IT IS A TOOL ! BECAUSE THE NEXT SNAKE I JUST ABOUT STEP ON, WHILE HUNTING, IS GONNA' GIT SOME L-U-V (LEAD UNDER VELOCITY)! HAPPY SHOOT'N

I only put about 25 rounds through it when the barrel swelled up and now the slide is stuck forward. Every time I try to call Hi-Point all I get is a recording.

#1 Great experience buying from Bud's! I paid by bank draft which added to the delivery time, but Bud's kept me informed every step of the way. Bravo! Also, Harold from Guns2Go in San Antonio was great to work with! #2 The firearm...if you have the understanding that it's bulky, ugly, and going to get you some nay sayers, then this is the perfect gun for you! The rangemaster told me the gun sucks, but 100 rounds later I proved him wrong. As others have shared, being so top heavy it significantly reduces muzzle flip and allows you to quickly get off your follow up shots. I was shooting 3 inch groupings at 25 feet after the 1st mag. I had absolutely no issues with the firearm and it cycled flawlessly. I used cheap Monarch ammo from Academy also. I just may have to get the 45 next. Do yourself a favor and shop one of these guys up and enjoy!

Honestly. I've owned both of these weapons for 2-3 years now. They are pretty nice weapons. I am not going to say they are the best, but for the money I paid, They are pretty well built. I bought two of them they both still work, I've put probably close to 1000 rounds through them and still kicking. Maintenance is pretty easy on them. You will need a punch tool to do a tear down of the pistol. Again not bad for the money spent.

cheap gun and cheap ammo but still have had no problems. have probably put 300 rounds through this gun. no jams no mis fiires. despite all the bad talk about hipoint i have yet to have any of the problems. The gun just requires a person who knows how to properly load a magazine.

First of all, Hats off to Buds Gun Shop, I had an Excellent buying experience. I ordered it on Sunday, it was in the FFE by Thursday. Because I didnt have CWP I had to wait three days but its all good. Second, the Gun, this is my first gun that I own, I have shot other (9mm) guns before. I really like the way the gun looks and it does weight about 1.8 pounds, so at first it feels a little heavy but the more you handle it, it get really comfortable with your hands. Infact I fee like the weight makes it more easy to hold on to it. It came with a Hard Case, Ghost Ring, and the Trigger Lock plus instructions, all of these for 129 dollars, so not bad at all. I have read a lot of mixed reviews about the American made Hi-Point Guns, so I was a little skeptical. I took my Gun to the range today, and it kept getting jammed so i had to constantly take the magazine out and cock the gun to get the stuck bullet out. it took me an hour or so to finish a box of 50 bullets. So I was getting really disappointed with my gun. So when I came out of the range the owner asked me how I did and I explained, after looking at my gun and how I held it, He told me to really Tightly Grip the gun, since the gun weigh more, it need a good amount of stopping power when the slide cocks back. I heard from several sources that you shouldnt hold the gun so tight so i was a little fluid with my grip. So I went back in and fired another 8 rounds, tightly gripping the GUN. To my Surprise my Hi-point fired flawlessly, I was so proud of my Gun. Keep in mind I just took it out of the box and was firing it, without doing anything to it. It just that I wasn't holding it tight enough. So for all those who is looking to buy an affordable first or second or third or what ever gun, i definitely recommend it. You Just have to get used to it(dont forget TIGHT GRIP). Plus the Life Time warranty that come with it is good. I'll be going back tomorrow to shoot some more, I'll update how it went using the new strategy. overall I give it Four Stars for Affordability, the look, the accessories, handling and firing(when u do it right).

Update. After looking at my $129 "paperweight" for a week, I took it out plinking and gave it another try. As mentioned previously, after coming back from Hi-Point for warranty work the gun does cycle MUCH better than it did before. Originally it was absolutely unusable. I have put over 100 rds through it since its return and have had only one FTE. That come with a very rough brand of hollow point that for some reason was one of the brands that had ALMOST worked in the gun before it received a new barrel/chambe/feed ramp assemblyr and other work. The barrel still does not visually line up very well with the slide and the rear sight has to be cranked nearly all the way up to compensate for this. I would still not call this a high-quality firearm but at least it is functional and seems to be getting better as it loosens up. Hope to get it to an indoor range soon and do some serious sighting-in and see where it stands for consistency. The bulge in the spent casings which was one of the main reasons I sent the gun back is now much smaller with the new parts and after reading some onlline gun forums there is some precedent for this condition with semi-auto pistols although it still does not seem right. While I'm still not real happy with this purchase I guess you could say I feel better about it than I did before. Who knows? maybe if you buy one you'll be one of the lucky ones who gets a 4 or 5 star gun the first time around. I guess for the price it's worth a try.

WARNING! Do not purchase this model Hi-Point. Think before you take another step. Why would Hi-Point offer the model CF380HC for $10 LESS than the regular CF380 and include a reasonably nice plastic hardcase. My conclusion-They are trying to unload factory defects. I originally ordered this gun on June 11, 2011. I had never seen this particular model (CF380HC) before and was curious why it was priced the way it was, so I went ahead and bought it. After 9 calendar days it arrived at my FFL dealer. Took it out and tried numerous brands of ammo which I had purchased in advance hoping to find one that would cycle properly. I had aalready been aware of Hi-Point's reputation. After one week of ownership I sent the gun back to Hi-Point with a note detailing all of the problems I was having including the most disturbing of all--A large bulge in the spent casings indicating a malformed chamber. I finally got the gun back 4 weeks to the day after shipping it. Well now it cycles okay and hits within a few inches of the POA, but even after recieving a new barrel/chamber assembly there is STILL a large bulge in the spent casings-something no centerfire gun should ever have. Unbelieveable. This is no reflection on Bud's. Just avoid Hi-Point's.$129 paperweight!

Ordered the Gun Wednesday Night and it arrived Monday morning. Did a complete inspection and everything was great. Some users have said they didn't understand how to clean it. You should thoroughly familiarize yourself with this or any firearm and all its aspects before firing it. No jams or anything to report upon the first 50 rounds sent downrange. You can find the cleaning instructions here. http://www.hi-pointfirearms.net/manuals/C-9_CF380.pdf Someone also said something about the craftsmanship of this gun. It does appear to be a little rough but I haven't found it to inhibit the performance of this particular firearm by any means.

very clunky and heavy for the caliber. im know it was only $130shpd but i have no idea why they couldnt make them smaller and tighter. my guess is that polymer needs to be thicker to be as tough as thin steel yes? still for a 380? not sure how to get the receiver off. there is no switch or button to slide it off. plastic handle gets very slippery if wet/sweaty. needs bedliner or innertube on it. the sights are nice and bright. its a natural downpointer. unlike 1911s where they are designed to be level when naturaly raising the hand to fire. overall i cant complain for the price but for the price i cant see why they would put some rubber on the grip and make the pistol more compact. the feed ramp looks very rough. could use some polished.

OK, what can one expect to get for $129? The good: Gun is affordabe allowing low cost ownership. The bad: Gun is not what I would call quality, but it looks like it will hold together. Now, if you are expecting to fire thousands of rounds, I'm not sure if the craftmanship will hold up, maybe it will....but what can you expect? Trigger is plastic, handle is plastic....looks like, feels like a BB pistol. Overall you get what you pay for and given the price, this will provide basic protection for a low cost.

wow! what can I say? I read all the review online about Hi-Point and it seemed like alot of people love to hate this gun, BUT ... I picked it up from the gun store and went striaght to the range. 50 shots, out of the box, and all 50 were in center mass. I thought maybe it was just luck, so another 50 rounds on a new target. Same thing! 100% center mass at 10 meters. Sure, it'sa big, heavy, ugly gun that I would not carry concealed, but as a home defense gun, and most importantly a gun my wife can shoot, it is AWSEOM for the price! My wife is too freaked out to fire my S&W 9mm, but she took this gun, and another 50 rounds (her very first time shooting) and it was awsome! So, in revirew, 150 rounds so far, not a single jam or mis-feed, shoots awsome at 10 meters and has very low recoil, low enough for my petite wife to fire and actually hit the center mass on her very first time with a gun. Thanks buds!

Great little gun for the price, its a good idea to take it apart and polish the loading ramp as this has solved the jamming issues these guns are known for. So if you want a reliable firearm I would suggest if you buy this one, spend about a half hour of work on it like I did. I have had no issues with it since.

1st let me Thank Budsgunshop.com for another great transaction. All I can say is never judge a book by its cover or a firearm for its price. Don't wait for the price of this handgun to double in price before you make that purchase because that is what's going to happen when more people start screaming out how nice this gun shoots, feels in your hand, and it really is not that bad looking.
