Brother the triggers on Hipoints are not very easy to mess with. You have to do a lot of stoning, Smooth everything up, You can make a good trigger out of them but the HI Point is not known for having the best trigger , They are made to work and made cheaper than most weapons. I had a 995, It had a 9 pound trigger, Not much helping it. But you can stone it and bring it down to around 5 or 6 pounds. Its not a colt brother.

ha i wish it were a colt. i know its like polishing a turd, but this turd aint ever ever quit on me. never a hang up nothing. its just that occasional false trigger that i flinch on. is it something i can do legaly? or do i need a true and true smith to do it?

Well its best to have a smith to work on your stuff, I say that because you don't want to over do anything by mistake. And also HI POINTS never fail, They are like AK's. They may be ugly but they never fail.. They had an ad once that said " Hi-point firearms are like the ugly girl at the dance, You only take her cause you know she puts out without fail ".. I tell people to buy them, They don't cost a ton and will always work. I have owned a bunch over the years, Just sold a 995 a week ago.

I've got a question for you Duff. I have a Winchester model 1912 .20 GA that has an expanded circle on the barrel approx. 2 inches down from the end of the barrel. (The grandmother came over one morning and some how put the barrel in the dirt). The intoxicated idiot that picked it up and fired it with out checking it first could have been killed by the dirt plug that was stuck in the end of the barrel but was fortunate that it only messed up the end.
My question is : What should I do to fix this? I could hack it off but it would then be illegal because don't the barrel have to be so many inches long on a shot gun?

They blowed the choke out of it. You can cut it down, ATF laws are a bitch, Anything under 18.5 inchs is a SBR and you need to pay 200 bucks for a tax stamp, But anything over 18.5 is ok on a shotgun. Now when you cut it down you make the shot spread a lot more and faster, It makes for a good close range weapon but you will not be getting birds again.

Yeah, I figured it would only be good as a house watch dog after cutting the barrel down. But it's been sitting in the closet for 15 years now and it's not doing me any good the way it is. Sad

Want to sale it? I am always looking for part guns. Let know if you do.

I'm debating if I wanna get a shorter butstock for my C91.

It's been in the family for generations so I'll just keep it!

If you do go short you can get all kinds of aftermarket stocks for the C91.

Thats good to know, thanks Duff.

You can do so much to those weapons, and they are great weapons. But I would look into a accu- strut. Keeps the barrel from shaking on you. More shots on target.
