    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

Hi-Point thread shut down last night - New Test this weekend

I started a Hi-Point thread about a shooting test I conducted last week and it lasted for four days before devolving and needing to be Closed thursday night.

I plan to conduct a second test fire this weekend and I will be trying to open a new thread based on the Test results (reliability/accuracy). I plan to report the results of firing another 90 rounds and include the results of the original test (80 rounds) - but Not any of the comments from the last thread..
I'm not trying to start another Thread so soon after one was closed for the sake of stoking flame wars.
It will address the results of a second test of how the (cheap) Pistol performs in terms of Reliability, and to a lesser extent accuracy.

There are already plenty of YouTube videos of people throwing them at targets and burying them in mud and posters saying They are Horrible - No - They are Great.
I'd like to cover what happens when a Hi-Point owner aims and squeezes the trigger.
Does the weapon fire reliably- are the bullet holes all on the target paper.


By the way - is four days of a Hi-Point thread before it has to be closed a new longevity record ?
