I've decided that I want a Hi-Point 10mm Carbine as a home-defense gun. Here's why:
1. It's cheap, and if I can find a used one, it's really cheap!. I could keep it stashed, unlocked, in my bedroom, where it can get banged around, dusty etc. I don't like the idea of keeping my more expensive guns anywhere outside of my safe - that's just me.
2. It's more than enough power for home defense, and I like 10mm over .223 or just about any other handgun round for that purpose.
3. I'm never cared for pump shotguns for HD - not my thing, never will be either.
Here's what's holding me back - I don't see that any large capacity magazines are made for it. 10 rounds is not sufficient. 30 rounds would be a minimum for me to get interested. Otherwise, it's a no-go.
Also, I might want to add a quality folding stock. Not a deal-breaker like the magazines, but something I'd want.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Or experience with the Hi-Point 10mm carbine's reliability?
