In Reply to: Glock or Hi-Point.... posted by Sparktrician on February 08, 2011 at 04:23:41:
good points on many posts- little background basics- Glock is a late last century design from a military/police request to a industrial design engineering outfit- the design uses modern manufacture methods and materials for molding and machining a fairly conventional lockwork design- polycarbonate can be referred to as plastic as simplest terms for grip frame- with features from Saur&Sohn, SIG, H&K lockwork. It works and uses some manufacturing methods that are now more common state of art. High-Point starts with a basic Browning 1910 design and goes to manufacturing using lower temperature precision casting- Ruger did similar years back- and gets a low cost, proven design to market. Glock has advanced features like a Kabuta, Hi-point is new production method remake of IHC H model for less cost but in plow power the 9x19mm is like a 2-14 that both can use about the same-- this make this post tractor related- but also a fair example of performance for cost. Hi-point will give you basic reliable performance cheaper with known maintenance requirements, the Glock will have some extra features that may be important to some users at a cost. Old technology still works, newer technology results in some extra conveniences and quirks. For amusing further fun - compare Hi-point to old Astra 600/400 design and the Davis/Raven pistols that used zinc casting instead of machining steel on same basic Browning design from about 1905. Time for coffee. RN

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
