![]() One method was sandbag support underneath the forend with the butt held tightly against the shoulder, while the weak hand stabilized the buttstock. We actually used two different holds for our shots. Īccuracy data was collected from a bench rest at 50 yards. We dare say both Hi-Point and Ruger may well see increased sales merely from our display of their wares. We decided to visit a public range to test, and as a result, we had to deal with the interest and enthusiasm of the many owners who were getting in their first shots with the toys Santa had brought them. Ultimately, however, we would have to base our recommendation solely on the evidence resulting from testing a single product sample, just like any other consumer would. At least subconsciously, we couldn’t help but expect more from the Ruger product, considering it cost more than twice what the Hi-Point did. The price of the PC9 is, in our opinion, more in line with what one should expect to pay for a well-made firearm. ![]() But there are rare exceptions, and the Hi-Point turned out to be one of them. We have come to learn that in nearly every case, what you don’t pay for you don’t get. In fact, the ultra-low price of the Hi-Point put us on guard. On the subject of price, the Hi-Point product is cheaper than nearly any pistol or revolver you can find - even less expensive than some of Hi-Point’s other firearms. Best traits: The PC9 and the Hi-Point are inexpensive to shoot - firepower to the people, as it were. Instead, they are best used as plinking or self-defense pieces, in our estimation. Its profile is of a classic rifle punctuated by a long, narrow magazine hanging just ahead of the trigger guard.īut our test weapons were not specifically designed for military or police use. The Ruger, on the other hand, closely resembles a military rifle from the 1940s. The Hi-Point cuts the figure of the type of machine pistol one envisions in the hands of SWAT or Special Forces. The two short rifles in question are in fact the $575 Ruger PC9, which operates from magazines common to Ruger’s P85-95 series pistols, and Hi-Point’s 9mm Carbine, $199. ![]() Without actually seeing the subjects of this month’s test, we imagined these two 9mm carbines as being a poor man’s AR-15, or perhaps an MP5. ![]()
