    Oh ok. Good recovery.

    I had a mag magnet that I kept on the magazine just in case of an Oh-**** home invasion or something. You know, in case the 10 rounds California assured me was enough weren't enough.

    You're correct vaman12, the leftist Pillsbury Doughboy has his knee pad on the wrong knee if he's left handed.

    In the combat kneeling position, if your right handed you would be on your right knee while the left knee would be supporting the left arm.

    In my opinion he's not x-military unless he was a pog.

    The soldier above is on a rifle combat range. If he was a Marine on a KD range (known distance range) he would be using a hasty sling as shown below.

    Now if you want to put a really tight group in the black at 300 yards, 500 yards even out too 1,000 yards the loop sling is the way to go but not practical on the battlefield unless you're a sniper.

    Yeah loop sling we used for sitting position. It's great but get it wrong just a little bit and your arm will go to sleep pretty fast.

    Some guys did bring up a good point though, and that depending on cover you might swap knees depending on the situation.

    Ok bro. Like I said if that's what you want to trust your life with go ahead. My experiences and many others did not match yours.

    A reliable firearm isn't one that has as many bad experiences as good ones.

    I'll stick with my CZ's and S&W's.

    i have a cz clone and a s&w also i am not throwing them away i like those pistols to much, see you need something reliable that you can dispose of in a assassination like hit, if you like it too much you will hang on too it and get caught..
    guns are tools each one has a different job and task

    I'm not going to own a firearm that I don't trust, and there are too many documented examples of hi-points failing horribly. I just don't see why I would want to own one.

    The only attractive point of a hi-point is purchase price, but I'm not going to skimp on something that is potentially life and death.

    I don't really plan on ever assassinating anyone and dropping the hi-point so I'm good there.

    I'm pretty sure that only Right Wingers are allowed to tote guns. It's in the charter.

    This might be a union issue...

    If Hi Points were as bad as some internet cowboys would have you believe, they would have been sued out of existence a long time ago.

    They haven't, and I'll believe professional firearms reviewers before I'd ever believe a keyboard warrior.

    It isn't a battle weapon, nor is it designed to be.

    It's a perfectly functional budget hand gun that could save your life, or the lives of people you care about.

    Name another firearm that comes with a lifetime, non-owner specific, warranty.

    Don't bother because you can't.

    If something goes wrong with my $80 C-9, I send it in and it gets fixed or replaced, free of charge.

    I concur.

    During boot camp you are taught the four basic positions on the rifle range. (offhand/standing, prone, kneeling and sitting) All will likely be used in combat. During infantry training you advance to other position like a right hand shooter having to switch to his left hand or like you pointed out having to go to having your left knee on the ground while shooting at the enemy.

    All of these photos of armed leftist anarchist, what I see are cream puffs. I see more blubber than muscle mass. A marksman has to be in pretty good physical shape to be able to hit what he aiming at be it on the range or on the battlefield.

    It's been around 45 years but if I remember correctly that's the combat supported kneeling position where the weight of the rifle is being supported by the bolder instead of the left knee.

    A combat rifle marksman has to be able to shoot and hit his target from any position.

    I haven't polished the ramps yet because both have performed flawlessly up until now.

    As I mentioned, I did do the suggested improvements to the magazines such as opening up the feed lips, adding more tension to the springs, and polishing the powder coat off of the outside. 20170320_193651.jpg

    Ok keep your panties on.

    I don't care if you want to buy a crate of them.

    If you want to own a substandard firearm because it's cheap and they fix it free go right ahead. Personally I'd rather own a firearm that doesn't need that kind of warranty.

    I don't see the point in it, but it's still a mostly free country so go right ahead.

    Your choices in California are already limited so it's not like you have a lot of options anyway.

    those HPs have the ergonomics of a brick. They are popular in Ohio, a mope we busted years ago said we couldn't charge him for being a felon in possession (18 USC 922) because the HP was made in Ohio. SO I said fine, the 10 winchester bullets he had were made in Illinois

    fortunately I can afford top of the line stuff, Like my current carry guns-a SIG 938 and a Beretta 84

    Back to the OP.

    I think everyone, Left or Right, underestimates how many Liberals own firearms.

    While ownership is not nearly what it is within Conservative circles, nearly every Liberal that I know personally owns at least one firearm.

    But, because of the stigma heaped on gun ownership by 20170328_204314.jpg the media, and the Democratic party itself, many of those people tend to keep their firearms ownership on the down low.

    I used to be that way, but I've realized that the only way to combat anti-gunners is to introduce as many Liberals as I can to the shooting sports.

    And you can go on believing that they are sub-standard, and you can go on paying what you pay for your hi end pistols.

    I own a Glock 19 Gen 4, which to me is every bit as clunky and unrefined as the HP, but for which I paid nearly four times the price.

    I don't find that it shoots any better than the HP's, and I've had many more ftf's with it than with the HP's (which, incidentally, is zero at this point, but they're new to me, so time will tell).

    Does beat two rocks I guess.

    For some, firearms like these are all that they can afford, think of the old so called 'Midnight Specials' that were legislated out of existence a few decades back. Cheap does not necessarily mean unreliable nor does it mean completely reliable Like I said in my opening line a cheap firearm does beat a rock - usually...
