The only thing that I don’t like about is the 9 round mag. They don’t currently make a high capacity mag.
Has anyone had any experience with this Carbine? I am thinking about putting it on my wish list and have never fired one of these.
I remember the carbines in my short tour with military. I felt very comfortable with it. Always felt it was a very good piece.
also the weight was lite compared to combat rifles we had at that time which allowed us to carry more ammo.
I don’t think High-Point has the kind of reputation that I’d hang my hat on – carbines or not – Their pistols were/are becoming famous for “stove-piping” and “failure-to-feed” type jams, and not being able to make it through two mags “in-a-row” – plus that; as I understand it; not many reputable gunsmiths will even work on those pistols
I think I’ll wait and see
I read a lot of reviews that agree with you. I have wanted a .45 carbine for a while, but they get a little pricey for a long version of a pistol. I couldn’t see spending a ton of fiat currency on something like that when there are so many others weapons that I actually need. I guess you get what you pay for. I am gonna keep my eye on them for a while.
I don’t know about other folks, but the ones we have have yet to jam. We are not rich so we don’t go out and burn boxes and boxes of ammo, but I have to believe they have been fired a couple hundred times. Of course we keep everything real clean.
By the way, they do make 14 round single stack clips for that pistol. We’ve got a couple of them. Come and visit me and you can test it out for yourself. I like the .45.
I love my Baby Eagle .45 semi, I just like the idea of a carbine .45. Longer range and more FPS, but I cant afford the big name carbine ,45s. I am just envision putting a mag of that into any “intruder” that attempts to come within 100 meters of my position.
Henry: Was talking to friend just now about this – he says it was the High-point 9mm that went south on them a few years ago – the 45 was working but different – I guess; different frame, feed ramp, etc., etc – and; as stated: their rep took the hit
Bulldog: I do agree with you; the 45 carbine (I like carbines anyway) would be neat – I’ve been waiting for someone to want me to take their Ruger 45 carbine (I think they’re called camp rifles) for a price I can afford – they don’t make them anymore and apparently you and I aren’t the only ones that would want something like that
I wouldn’t pick is my main weapon, but I think the possibilities of a .45 caliber carbine are worth looking into. I would like to fire one before putting any money into one.
All be it the price is high, the Kriss is the
best .45 to come along in a long time.

Roller block and drop down recoil which reduces the recoil to NILL.
I wish I could afford one …so my .45 ACP pistols will have to do.
KPOS makes SBR conversions for turning pistols into SBR’s.
But they’re not legal in all states, and requires special permits.

The pistol that’s used in one of these is full auto in this video.
The kit doesn’t make the pistol full auto.
The KPOS is the neatest thing to come along in a long time.
I’ve been looking at them for a while now.
What is your pick for .45 pistols? I want a 1911, but they have increased in price beyond what I am willing to pay. I have a Baby Eagle that is an outstanding weapon. I got it for a fair price. 1911s were running twice what I paid for mine.
I need to clear up some confusion. The .45s I’m talking about are pistols. I have not fired the carbine and know no one who has one. But I will attest to the quality of the pistols, which you can get the 14 round clip for.
Henry, I was just curious about Hi points quality level. My weapons are always spotless as well. Too many Army years. Can’t go to bed with a dirty weapon.
I am going to put it on my wish list and hope that I can lay hands on one ahead of time. I would have no problem with a handgun purchase from them at all. Especially at the prices that they advertise.
Bulldog, here’s the skinny on Hi-point pistols from my esteemed gunfriend – They’re cheap. usually 2 bills new (the 45 is just a little bit more) although they are above a Saturday Night Special – the “stovepiping and feeding” jams problems I spoke of earlier is so (notwithstanding Henrys luck with his)
Accuracy is a problem (they don’t rate very high – as in bottom 10%)
Few will work on them if you have a problem
In consideration of the fact that you can get a Rock Island 1911 (Chinese made in the Phillipines) for 5 bills – and they (other than the trigger being a little heavy) are performing very well, CNC made (actually not that bad)
I saved my money and (and on advise from this same friend) bought a Kimber 1911 ($800+) and never looked back
STFB,
I am extremely happy with my .45. I got a brand new IWI (yes I know who madeit) baby eagle. I paid 450. They are running 550 plus now. It is a beautiful handgun. Smooth everything and disassembles like a Baretta 9mm. I was able to pick up a few extra mags. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t like some HP. But with a .45 you don’t really need HP. Check out our broadcast Thursday. It is going to be a discussion about a SHTF arms room.
Thanks for the tips brother
I know some of you will think I’m nut’s(and that could be very well true) but I’ve always liked the old carbine of the lever type. The capacity of the tube is in the ten to twelve range depending on the shell type. I use these all the time and never have break down problems and have them from .22mag to 45/70. They are light weight(until you get to the bigger ones) and the cost is lower than a auto. Just a thought but if you think they are slow, watch some SASS shooters. That’s where I got started with them.
REDHORSE,
I have never owned a lever action, but really would like to. I have numerous weapons on my “wish list” currently. I would like to add a 30/30 to that list. Sometimes simple is better. Not as many moving parts to worry about.
After my heart; I bought (many years ago) a Winchester 9422m deluxe – also have one of the very first 94 Marlin 357mags – I agree with old John Tapin: He thought that an old lever in a pistol cartriage was the one he’d grab if the SHTF –
