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
