Jst2fst Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Yea, its has some powder coat that did not stick might send in later if they can even fix that issue.. Otherwise I like it fits in my hand ok, Except for the holster that is a tad bit small need to exchange it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|SnOmAn| Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Yeah, I have the same gun, reason I said that. Just being stupid. I think you will like the purchase. It is a nice gun, but you will probably buy another gun in the near future. It is kind of addicting. The fit is really good. It is top heavy but it helps with the kickback, from what I noticed. I've been pretty accurate with it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jst2fst Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Yea, they guy at Vance's said that the weight helps with the recoil of the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggs Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Congrats on your purchase. Couple quick tips:I belive the hi-points are of the blowback design, which is great in it's simplicity and operation. But because of the heavy slide sometimes you will get an unbalanced muzzle flip, so to offset this make sure you have a good grip on the firearm when you shoot it. Google "limpwristing"It might also be a good idea to make sure it is properly cleaned & lubed up before you shoot it, It will help you get more familiar with your firearm as well.But it's up to you. I tend take my new guys apart and re oil everything before I shoot it, especially in the colder weather.Concerning and oil/cleaning solution, I recommend gunzilla, I have used it with great success Where do you shoot?

jagr Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 If the PC is coming off you need go take it back to Vances and get another one. Preferably a Glock or XD. I kid! But really it needs to be replaced if it's flaking off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Congrats on your first gun. Like eggs, I too always tear a new gun down and lube it up. It's helps you to understand the specific firearm. Shoot it often and clean it just as much. A dirty firearm really annoys the hell out of me. Be safe with it and remember to always handle it as if it was loaded. There are lots of pro gun folks on here that are always more than willing to help out with someone new to firearms. Don't be hesitant to ask questions, even if you think they are stupid. Another member on here emailed me probably 20 times about his new firearm. He said he felt bad for asking so much, but I didn't mind at all. It made him more comfortable with it and in turn he will get a lot more enjoyment out of it.
