just for a kind of information!!!
I am employee of "Sasken Communication Technologies Ltd.". If you are used to trade and investing in market then invest on this company. currently share stock price is 190.90(INR) on NSE. Surely you will get double in 15/30 days.
I invest in this company in some lakhs when share rate was 91 Rs(INR) just before three weeks , today i am getting 109% increased.
If someone intrested I will give the reason of it also.
Re: just for a kind of information!!!
Sasken has come up with very good numbers and so probably the reason. I had a chance to get into stock at around 160 and sold with some moderate gains.
Re: just for a kind of information!!!
Yes!!! You are correct. Actually SASKEN provides services for Nortel networks .The reason is as
Friday April 18, 02:21 AM
Nortel to log out of Sasken Comm
By Rishi Raj
Canadian telecom equipment & technology solutions provider Nortel plans to exit Sasken Communication Technologies Ltd, a Bangalore-based telecom R&D outsourcing firm. Industry sources say Nortel, which holds about 11.31% stake in Sasken, bought in April 2005 at $10 million, has intimated Sasken about its plan.
Sasken's board is meeting on Friday, April 18, to consider the buyback proposal.
While an e-mail query to Nortel about the plan remain unanswered, Sasken officials said the company is in the silence period, and not aware of any such development, so would not comment.
Nortel, a telecom equipment supplier with several applications, is on a revival mode after hitting a rough patch in the recent past. In fact, last month the company bagged a $100-million order from state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) for its GSM expansion project.
Sasken, which is into telecom R&D outsourcing, has been a key supplier to Nortel since 1991 and has supported the company's GSM digital wireless and enterprise communications solutions.
In April 2005, when Nortel invested in Sasken, the company had said that the two would work together to develop new software and deploy Nortel networking solutions.
"This investment strengthens Nortel's strategic relationship with Sasken and aligns with Nortel's objective to bring greater capabilities to customers in the critical emerging markets," the firms had said.
Re: just for a kind of information!!!
I just got into the stock today once again around 190 and it looks like 5th May we have the start of the buy back
Re: just for a kind of information!!!
But Analyse yourself also. In stock many things are hodden.
Re: just for a kind of information!!!
Re: just for a kind of information!!!
One more Information
Just watch daily for one telecom indian based company "SUBEX Ltd". before One year, it's share price was 725 Rs. for long time. And average was 675. Now it's daily going down reached to 175 rs per share.
Dont buy just wait for minimum share price then analysis and buy and left for six month. You can get 4 or 5 times more amount. But just wait it may be go till two digit because today Q4 result of this company is very bad loss of 50 crores. So Guy wait !!!!
One reason for falling down that Subex System Ltd has acquired one canadian telecom product investment of 600 Crore(INR). and other reason is that Subex dropped two projects.
So dont buy at once just wait. and i will inform at right time . please watch and analyze yourself and share with us.
Re: just for a kind of information!!!
But to be honest this is not share trading forum.
Re: just for a kind of information!!!
Really it's true. I am very very sorry. Now it will never be happened.

Man jailed for purse theft in Erie
An Erie man was jailed this morning on charges of robbing a woman of her purse at a downtown tavern.
Nicholas A. Taylor, 21, of the 600 block of West Fourth Street, was placed in the Erie County Prison on $25,000 bond after he was arraigned by Erie 1st Ward District Judge Sue Mack on charges of robbery, prohibited offensive weapon, false ID, theft and receiving stolen property.
Erie police accuse Taylor of stealing a woman's purse at a tavern in the 1000 block of State Street at about 2 a.m. today. When the victim and a tavern employee confronted Taylor, police said he pulled out a weapon described as brass knuckles/punch knife and threatened the victims, according to the criminal complaint filed in the case.
No one was reported injured in the incident.

Re: Randy PauschSun, March 2, 2008 - 10:33 AM"Last Lecture"
Pausch delivered his "Last Public Lecture", entitled "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams", at CMU on September 18, 2007. This talk was modeled after an ongoing series of lectures where top academics are asked to think deeply about what matters to them, and then give a hypothetical "final talk", i.e., "what wisdom would you try to impart to the world if you knew it was your last chance?"
Before speaking, Pausch received a long standing ovation from a large crowd of over 400 colleagues and students. When he motioned them to sit down, saying "make me earn it", some in the audience shouted back "you did!"
During the lecture, Pausch was upbeat and humorous, alternating between wisecracks, insights on computer science and engineering education, advice on building multi-disciplinary collaborations, working in groups and interacting with other people, offering inspirational life lessons, and performing push-ups on stage.
Media coverage of Pausch
Pausch was named "Person of the Week" on ABC's World News with Charles Gibson on September 21. His "Last Lecture" has attracted wide attention from the international media, became an Internet hit, and was viewed over a million times in the first month after its delivery. On October 22, 2007, Pausch appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show where he discussed his situation and recapped his "Last Lecture" for millions of TV viewers.
On October 06, 2007, Pausch joined the Pittsburgh Steelers for the day during their regular practice, after the organization learned that one of his childhood dreams mentioned in his "Last Lecture" was to play in the NFL.
The Disney-owned publisher Hyperion has paid $6.7 million for the rights to publish a book about Randy Pausch called "The Last Lecture", co-authored by Randy Pausch and Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Zaslow.
A devoted Star Trek fan, Pausch was invited by film director J.J. Abrams to film a role in the latest Star Trek movie. Abrams heard of Pausch's condition and sent a personal e-mail inviting Pausch to the set. Pausch happily accepted and traveled to Los Angeles, California to shoot his scene. In addition to appearing in the film, he also has a line of dialogue.

SB Nation did a thing where they picked the top 100 players in 2017. Jeremy Lamb was 50th, Serge Ibaka 19th, Russell Westbrook fourth and Kevin Durant… first. Here's what Connor Kaczmarek said about KD: "Kevin Durant isn't even 25 years old yet, so he's going to be in the prime of his career in 2017. He's gotten better every year he's been in the league and somehow he just keeps getting more and more efficient at putting the ball in the basket. If we go by his current rate of improvement, he'll be scoring five points per shot somehow, probably. He's improved defensively and on the boards, and has become a significantly better playmaker. LeBron won't decline that much, but the smart money is on Durant to surpass him at some point."
Uni Watch ranks the Thunder's uniforms eighth in the league: "The NBA has been in a minimalist phase over the past four years or so, with teams such as the Thunder, Sixers, Nets, Cavs and Pelicans all unveiling very conservative designs. The Thunder's set is the best of this lot, thanks in large part to the orange trim, which really pops. The road design would probably be stronger if they put "City" below the uni number instead of stacking the two words, but it still works. Too bad about the alternate uni, though, which is one for the "What were they thinking?" file."
A GIF of James Harden's beard evolution. Sigh. We saw most of that evolution here.
This is cool: Resident DT-er Tricia made a presentation about how digital and social media helped her become the passionate Thunder fan she is (watch the presentation!) and as a result, it has a chance to make SXSW. Vote for it. It takes two seconds to register and then click the thumbs up. Go on. Do it.
Ronnie Brewer is signing with the Rockets.
Jeff Caplan of NBA.com says eight teams will experiment with motion-tracking devices next season: "The device, called OptimEye, is roughly the size of an oldfangled beeper and athletes wear it inside their jerseys on the upper back between the shoulder blades. The device records literally every movement the player makes, accurately measuring exertions such as distance, velocity, changes of direction, acceleration, deceleration, jumps, heart rate and more. These physiological and physical performance parameters are then uploaded to a computer to be analyzed, allowing coaches, trainers and the players to understand their individual workload levels. These are conclusions that once could only be subjective, say, by reading a player's body language, to now being totally objective. By wearing the devices during practices, teams can monitor their players' physical output and closely watch their load levels to ensure each player is not being overworked and ensuring ultimate preparedness to play in each game when performance counts. Worn during workouts, the device can provide real-time data alerting coaches and trainers if a player's exertion rate is too high, the moment when a player is most vulnerable to injury, allowing coaches and trainers to pull back."
Kevin Arnovitz of TrueHoop ponders basketball without free throws: "And if we did eliminate the free throw altogether, what could we provide in its place that would give trailing teams the opportunity to close the gap during the final few minutes of a game? We could eliminate consecutive timeouts, consequently forcing the leading team to get the ball in bounds on the first attempt. If they can't — and we see this all the time — that would create a change of possession in five riveting seconds as the crowd explodes over a gritty defensive stand (or goes into shock as their team turns the ball over with no time expiring on the clock, all because they couldn't get it in!). Free throws are an entrenched feature of the game, so it's difficult to imagine the game without them — but we do have reference points like those 20 minutes in March when the ball was live 60 percent of the time, and like any great piece of visual storytelling, you couldn't take your eyes off the action because you might miss something."
Zach Lowe of Grantland ranks team nicknames and has "Thunder" 22nd: "The top-rated weather-related nickname, only because thunder can be legitimately scary and brings at least some vague sensory connection to the on-court product. A Russell Westbrook–Kevin Durant fast break creates a rumbling tremor of inevitable ferocity and lasts only a couple of seconds. But, man, look at the alternatives — some from fans, some among the half-dozen names the franchise trademarked before choosing "Thunder": Thunderbirds (both military and animal connotations), Roughriders, Renegades, Outlaws, Barons, Bison, Marshalls, and Twisters — the last probably too close to home at this point for residents of Tornado Alley. They're all better than "Thunder."

1861: The Civil War Awakening
Adam Goodheart
Knopf, 460 pp., $28.95
This Great Struggle
Steven E. Woodworth
Rowman and Littlefield, 432 pp., $29.95
Reviewed by Richard Aregood
This year is the sesquicentennial of the beginning of America's Civil War and the books have begun to pour in. It is hard to imagine there is anything left to say of the national trauma that did so much to shape our world of today after 150 years and countless books, many of them superb.
Fortunately for readers, there is.
A personal favorite, at least so far, is Adam Goodheart's "1861: The Civil War Awakening," a compelling look at the country's dawning realization that this would be much more than a quickly resolved conflict over slavery, through the experiences of a fascinating cast of characters given short shrift (if any shrift at all) in previous Civil War books.
Goodheart, a historian and journalist whose regular columns on the war appear in the New York Times online, maintains narrative force through a series of compelling vignettes — like the story of a sale in our national capital of "one Negro man, named Willis, about thirty-three years of age, and a slave for life." The newspaper advertisement selling Willis added: "Also, one Gold Watch."
We meet characters like the amazingly flashy Elmer Ellworth, habitué of the White House, organizer of Zouave regiments, acrobat and one of the first victims of the war, killed by a Virginian who took exception to having his Confederate flag taken down. There are Jesse Benton Fremont and Lucy Bagby, one an accomplished woman, wife of the far less accomplished Pathfinder, who ran an abolitionist salon in San Francisco, the other an escaped slave whose plight made the war's stakes clear.
James Garfield, a young college professor with his spirit in the clouds, becomes far more than the president remembered today mostly for having been assassinated. And the action around Fort Sumter is not a mere passive victimization of the North. It deepens into a tale of a man who may not have been all that enthusiastic about his duty, but did it well.
Throughout, the book makes clear that the "Lost Cause" advocates in Hollywood and the South got it wrong on purpose. Well before 1861, everyone knew what the war would be about and said so. It was always about Willis and Lucy, not some mythical golden era of chivalry and mint juleps.
That is one of the main themes of "This Great Struggle," Stephen E. Woodworth's one-volume history of the war. Slavery was always at the core of every regional dispute of the early 19th century and the illusion that anything else mattered was a postwar invention.
Although the publisher terms some of Woodworth's insights as "controversial," it is hard to imagine any knowledgeable reader thinking so. He shows clearly how the war in the West — Grant's and Sherman's war — was the decisive factor, rather than the stalemate in the East. He also demonstrates how the South's unrelenting campaign to maintain white supremacy — the felicitous phrase is "not quite open war, but not quite peace" — outlasted a tired North's determination to fully end the realities of slavery.
Two fine books already. I can hardly wait to see what's next.

RATINGS: 426 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.16/5 SEASONAL: Autumn EST. CALORIES: 162 ABV: 5.4%
AutumnFest is Weyerbachers own unique twist on the German Oktoberfest style. Copper-amber in color, AutumnFest is made with Vienna and Munich malts for that authentic, Bavarian easy drinking taste. Each sip imparts a wonderful roastiness of malt on the tongue followed by a smooth, consistent finish. Wonderfully balanced with a clean, velvety, slightly fruity taste, AutumnFest is the perfect beer for the Fall- a nice transition between the lighter beers of summer and the darker, heavier winter brews. It is a favorite of many Weyerbacher aficionados, who anticipate the end of summer with this wonderful beer. Weyerbacher AutumnFest (ABV 5.4%) is generally available in stores August through December. Pick up a case to celebrate the change of seasons. Prost!

Can the manly mobile wallet outperform the feminine e-purse?
Don't misinterpret this, but the mobile wallet may be the new Marlboro man.
Marlboro cigarettes were marketed to women until the 1950s. It's a famous story in advertising circles how the Marlboro man came to be. Back then, filtered cigarettes were viewed more as a woman's choice. But, unhappy with sales, Philip Morris, the tobacco firm selling Marlboro, did a 180-degree spin and made Marlboro cigarettes super-masculine, as best exemplified by the cowboy image of the Marlboro man. It was a success.
Jump ahead in time to the 1990s and 2000s. Electronic purses were the "next big thing" in payments that would displace cash. Well, that didn't turn out to be. E-purses contained reloadable, stored value on a chip in a card. A decade later suddenly this payment mechanism is morphing from ladylike to manly: The electronic purse has become the mobile wallet. Google Wallet and Isis are a couple of examples of today's mobile wallets, though neither are widely available yet.
But it takes more than a brand name to position a product for success. In 2005, as a writer at Card Technology, a defunct smart card magazine, I wrote about electronic purses and why they failed to displace cash on a greater scale. What I found was that electronic purses, especially in Europe where they had the greatest consumer adoption, faced three problems. One was reloading the purse required going to an ATM. Mobile wallets seem to have resolved that issue by using the phone's wireless connectivity.
Another problem was that the e-purse was not protected by a personal identification number. If the card was lost or stolen, so was the value held by the e-purse. Today's smartphones can be password-protected.
The third was difficulty tracking balances inside an e-purse. Without a user interface on the card, consumers had a tough time knowing how much money they still had on the card. With a mobile wallet the consumer can see how much value remains in their mobile wallet as easily as they can figure out how much cash is in their back-pocket wallet.
Today's mobile wallets may offer fundamental improvements from their e-purse ancestors. But the big question remains unanswered: Will consumers care enough to use them?

A federal class action lawsuit claims Wells Fargo Bank (WFC) forces borrowers to take out too much flood insurance on their homes in order to pocket commissions and kickbacks.
According to the Wells Fargo class action lawsuit:
"[Wells Fargo] unfairly, unjustly, and unlawfully forced Plaintiff and other borrowers to purchase and maintain flood insurance for their property in amounts greater than required by law, greater than required by their mortgage agreements, and greater than Defendants' financial interest in their property, without any reasonable basis or justification."
Furthermore, the class action continues, "[Wells Fargo] unfairly, unjustly, and unlawfully profited from force-placing flood insurance on Plaintiff's property and the property of other borrowers, by charging Plaintiff and other borrowers amounts in excess of the net costs incurred by Defendants for such flood insurance and by accepting kickbacks, commissions, or other compensation for themselves and their affiliates in connection with force-placed (also known as lender-placed) flood insurance."
The Wells Fargo flood insurance class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of the following classes:
Nationwide Flood Insurance Class. All persons nationwide who have or had a home loan or line of credit with Wells Fargo and were required by Wells Fargo or its agents or affiliates to purchase or maintain flood insurance on their property in the United States.
Nationwide Lender-Placed Insurance Class. All persons who were charged for lender-placed flood insurance by Defendants and/or paid such charges to Defendants, in whole or in part, within the applicable limitations period.
Pennsylvania Putative Class. All persons who have or had a loan or line of credit with Defendants secured by their residential property and were required by Defendants to purchase or maintain flood insurance on their property in the State of Pennsylvania within the past six years.

Camera comparison: LG G3 vs Samsung Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note 3, iPhone 5s, LG G2, Sony Xperia Z2, HTC One (M8)
0. phoneArena 16 Jun 2014, 07:44 posted on
It is our duty to put the LG G3's camera to the test – to see how well it performs against other popular high-end models. And for this camera comparison, we've lined up the usual suspects: the Samsung Galaxy S5, the Galaxy Note 3, the iPhone 5s, the LG G2, the Sony Xperia Z2, and the HTC One (M8)...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

i wish samsung could have used the xperia z2's sensor so that they could have got some amazing results since their image processing is spot on.
184. Donzzy (Posts: 13; Member since: 12 Jun 2014)
Note 4 will use Sony's camera sensor.
59. Ibraheem277 (Posts: 3; Member since: 14 Oct 2013)
If they Included the IPhone 5S Then they should include other smartphones also.
62. GeekMovement (Posts: 2156; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
Those phones are beautiful @_@.
63. brucewayne (Posts: 29; Member since: 30 Aug 2012)
Is it a conscious effort by PA to avoid Nokia phones? Not necessarily 808 or 1020.Just in general avoiding Nokia phones..We all know that any Nokia phone will beat atleast a couple of the phones in this test.Then why is it avoided? For the past couple of months, PA has been harping on s5. Doesnt anybody notice it? All tests are proving the s5 to be on top.Still PA goes on conducting similar tests.I really love gsmarena and the verge.Much better than this.
165. sbw44 (Posts: 433; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
Its either they hate Nokia or just don't want it to humiliate the others. Like the last blind test the 1020 was in it blew the others out of the water!

Haters can hate and whine about the design. Yet Galaxy S5 FTW. Samsung is not simply the best and top mobile OEM.
83. XperiaFanZone (Posts: 2114; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
"Haters can hate and whine about the design."
Which is what you have done about the S5.
106. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)
Did I? Probably when the s5 was announced... But when i used it for a few days i liked... Agreed its not that good looking compared to others, but its certainly not ugly or cheap as haters call it.
111. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)
Also many others including sammy fanboys said it was ugly until they saw it in real. Hmmmm looks like you have been digging my past comments.... Are you my fan lol ;-)
113. XperiaFanZone (Posts: 2114; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
And many of such "fanboys" disagreed before seeing it.
"...looks like you have been digging my past comments".
No. I read and commented on the S5 articles.

1. Phone arena why aren't you bringing lumia 1020 and oppo to the tests ? What is making you so afraid ?
2. Sony fans omg such losers saw what the poor carl zeiss was capable of. Now it is time to
190. jojon (Posts: 332; Member since: 11 Feb 2014)
Sad isn't it. I believe a Nokia 925 8MP Pureview would sink this lot, don't bother with the 1020, Icon, 930. Nokia most conspicuous by it's absence, well done PA. Falling in love again with their faves
88. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
comparing an 8MP photo against 16MP and 13MP ones and saying the bigger photos have more detail... what a logical way of thinking!
they're not even using superior auto (significantly sharper due to pixel binning) for the 8mp z2 samples.
92. KaranAggarwal (Posts: 1; Member since: 16 Jun 2014)
Totally biased..u must get an award for such creepy reviews phonearena. I think comparisons are based on same basis? Then what the hell phonearena is doing by taking pics at greater distance with xperia z2 than the sammy's note and s5. Z2's colory production is effected cz of this. Phonearena come up with some genuine comparisons otherwise you would come up with "s5 tops blind camera comparison 4th time.
133. RajRicardo (Posts: 394; Member since: 28 Feb 2014)
yea, even they are using android 4.4 on all other latest phones and loaded Xperia Z2 with outdated android 4.2.
98. nottolate (Posts: 23; Member since: 01 Jun 2014)
A G2 with all the mods installed has everybody beat.
112. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)
Thats like saying I put a V8 engine in my corolla and i beat a ferrari.
103. elitewolverine (Posts: 5183; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)
Would love to see a Nokia Icon vs S5, nearly identical in mp, 16 v 20, the icon has a quad so the shot between shots is over.
we all know the 1520 has come out on top with the 20mp snapper before...considering the icon is a 'this year' device why not.
105. nottolate (Posts: 23; Member since: 01 Jun 2014)
The eyes don't lie. Clearly the Sammy S5 does not take the best photos. 3-way tie for first: N3, G3, G2. S5 camera not even as good S4. Who are they kidding? We are not dumb, Z2 even loses to M8!
108. refillable (Posts: 1046; Member since: 10 Mar 2014)
I prefer taking conclusions by myself and not reading these type of written conclusions...
119. FCB-Eto (Posts: 36; Member since: 17 Aug 2013)
It's official the S5 and Z2 are tied for best mobile cameras with scores of 79 each, so stop the bickering.
130. vishalaestro (Posts: 81; Member since: 08 Dec 2013)
the best all round camera should be the iphone 5s it performs excellent on both good and low light situations whereas the lg g3 or s5 performs very well on good light but loses comparably under low light compared to iphone 5s on both video recording and still photos.
132. RajRicardo (Posts: 394; Member since: 28 Feb 2014)
How come all the latest phones are running Android 4.4 and Xperia Z2 is not? I got my Z2 with Android 4.4 pre-installed on it. PA is cheating by loading Z2 with older version of android and all other latest phones with a newer version. Very poor review Nick. Try not to be a fanboy.
134. RajRicardo (Posts: 394; Member since: 28 Feb 2014)
Before commenting on SONY, please remember that most of the phones on top use camera senor built by sony. So stop crying. The reason Z2 got a lower score is because PA loaded it with outdated android 4.2 while all other latest handsets are loaded with android 4.4.
139. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
Yeah PA, how did you even get 4.2.2 on your Z2? It comes with KitKat out of the box...
140. TMach (Posts: 454; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
How unprofessional of PhoneArena...the Z2 launched with KitKat 4.4.2. yet the review states the software in the test phone is Sony Xperia Z2: Android 4.2.2, build number 17.1.A.2.55! By the way, as posted earlier in the comments thread this software is redundant as the latest software is not .55 but .402!
Ever heard about proof reading? SO unprofessional.
172. Nick_T (Posts: 170; Member since: 27 May 2011)
The update came to our unit after the comparison was complete.
174. TMach (Posts: 454; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
The fact is, however, that the Z2 comes with 4.4.2 out of the box and yet the article states 4.2.2 which is my point on proofing the article before posting.
Presume a re-run with the .55 update is in the works then?
183. Nick_T (Posts: 170; Member since: 27 May 2011)
Yeah, that was an error. The Z2 that we used ran Android 4.4.2 with the .55 software version.
141. Anonn (Posts: 230; Member since: 04 Jun 2014)
Samsung Galaxy S5 has the best smartphone camera, according to DxOMark:
175. TMach (Posts: 454; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
Actually, DXoMark rates the Z2 as joint top with the S5 with both on 79 points. Let's be accurate and not distort the truth!
181. Anonn (Posts: 230; Member since: 04 Jun 2014)
On Photo, both got 79 but on Video, S5:79 , Z2:73
142. greatoneiw (Posts: 41; Member since: 08 Apr 2014)
G3 should have won the video contest !
you should have mentioned that note 3 camera is the same as S4 so the phone is going wild for over a year !....and that's ... i dont know .... impressive ???
why the **** u guys are still include HTC in your comparison? only + in m8 is it's design and it can be **** up with a case around it which EVERYONE put ....
143. Jorgemerino97 (Posts: 66; Member since: 05 Apr 2014)
PhoneArena... can you make a comparison with the 20mpx mode on the Xperia Z2? With only 8mpx obviously will lose in all...
148. jvakratsas (unregistered)
No one mentioned the mistake... whoever does the maths needs to go back to school ASAP add the individual scores and devide them with 6(video doesnt count as the author says)... and you will end up with different numbers
153. DarkRadeonFX (Posts: 37; Member since: 29 Mar 2014)
......."Sponsored by Samesung"........
And No Nokia Lumai Phones in a Camera Test. Even 20mp 1520 wipes all these Lagrdoids.
180. simpleas (Posts: 196; Member since: 30 Apr 2014)
lol, are you seriously comparing the ISOCell S5 to a crappy 1520? lolol. Megapixels don't mean much :) There are tests out online already s5 beats it handsdown.
191. elitewolverine (Posts: 5183; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)
links to the test?
154. Alain1990 (Posts: 14; Member since: 10 Jun 2014)
hey u need to include night photos in your overall score.. for me its important.. many dont use their phone's camera in night because the results are ugly.. but now camera phones are better at night..
161. Trex95 (Posts: 903; Member since: 03 Mar 2013)
HTC One M8 vs LG G3:http://youtu.be/5Q0mI7-Nn48 if you think G3 camera is great then check this comparison between M8 and G3.
162. Trex95 (Posts: 903; Member since: 03 Mar 2013)
The worst thing about S5 and Note 3 camera photos at night looks muddy if zoomed to 100% no details at all. Honestly details at night photos looks better on M8,IPhone 5s, G2 then G3.
163. gigaraga (Posts: 1454; Member since: 29 Mar 2013)
Samsung and LG completely trashed the competition. I would've though the Z2 at least would put up a fight put it doesn't seem like it here, but rather the opposite. Go Samsung and LG!
164. gevinleow (Posts: 5; Member since: 02 Apr 2014)
Oh come on! don't be bias! look at this professional review, dxomark.com/Mobiles Z2 stand 2nd place after S5
176. TMach (Posts: 454; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
See earlier post, they both scored 79 points so joint top NOT second place.
179. simpleas (Posts: 196; Member since: 30 Apr 2014)
Yeah but when you put the whole thing together sonys not first. Are they even second lol.
177. zebraman (Posts: 11; Member since: 11 Sep 2013)
galaxy S5 has the best camera Phone on the market. sony fans have just got to deal with it.
they whole forum is just Z2 owners having a cry
178. simpleas (Posts: 196; Member since: 30 Apr 2014)
Samsung already won best camera by DXO Mark. So now they won both Best Screen Ever by DisplayMate and Best Camera Ever by DXO Mark. Good job Samsung. Now make your phones look better.
185. Ethos (unregistered)
u are brainwashed with samsung bcos they using oversaturated colors modes so everybody stupid thinks it is best IT ISNT !!!
188. Jeroi (Posts: 1; Member since: 27 Jun 2014)
I wonder why the LG3 has a marginallly better camera then the rest. How would it compare to the new Iphone. Although I must disagree with this review about the Iphone's excellence at night. My wife's Iphone takes extremely pixelated photo's at night. Basically unusable.
Back to the LG 3. The pictures all look great if not better than the galaxy S5 or the ios S5. but then again, it might just be viewer preference.
Is the LG3 dust and water proof?
195. horangeh (Posts: 5; Member since: 06 Jul 2014)
As many posted, I agree the most important comparison is night shots. Clearly Galaxy S5 and Note 3 have uncontrolled noise yet they are given the same score as IPhone 5s ??? The IPhone pics are darker because the ACTUAL pic is darker but if you increase the exposure with software, you will see best details from all phones. The LG G2 looses details due to software noise smoothing, same for LG G3 but to a lesser extent. The Htc One is penalized for 'lights being blobs" but it shows the best details of all phones, of course. The scoring of PA is not supported by the pics sorry ...
196. horangeh (Posts: 5; Member since: 06 Jul 2014)
Equally important are the indoor shots and PA review doesn't fail to disappoint in that area too. The most important subject indoors in low light is human face. That is most users use their cell phones for indoors. Human face has enough details (eye lashes, skin pores etc) that allows very easily to see which phone has the sharpest least noisy pics. The shots of painting, corridors, and objects used by PA for testing are IRRELEVANT and it's extremely hard to make difference between the phones. Also different light from visible to dim to very dim should be used. Sadly most reviews do not understand that ...
197. Hardlord (Posts: 1; Member since: 07 Aug 2014)
Desconsideraram o o noite no final score só para o S5 ficar em primeiro!! Hauehaeu
They overlooked the the score late in the night just to get the S5 first!!

This is Asinine can't you see night photo how bright is xperia z2. This is subjective and foolish
199. Edvard (Posts: 2; Member since: 19 Nov 2014)
Photos are good in all of those phones but needs a replacement app e.g. SliderCamera to make colors better and have a better settings options.

Did you run 'make sync' or 'make destructive-sync'? Is it possible that there is a stale hand-built coyotos cross environment in your path? Try "which i386-unknown-coyotos-gcc". It should not be found in your path. Finally, it is distantly possible (because you have not been updating) that you have a stale libsherpa RPM from a *very* old set of cross tools. That package was obsoleted, but if you missed the intervening updates it may not have been deleted when it should have been. Because of this, I suggest that you remove and re-install the coyotos cross tools. Easiest way to do this is rpm -e `rpm -q -a|grep coyotos` yum install coyotos-i386-xenv shap

THE prospective rise in tunnel fees is particularly unwelcome given the low rate of inflation.
How much does it actually cost to run a couple of tunnels?
Try to imagine the uproar in London if Boris Johnson were to slap a toll on Tower Bridge simply to recoup the cost of the Dartford crossings.
And yet that is in effect what will happen to the old Runcorn Bridge when the new Mersey Crossing is operational.
My solution: given the Government's sudden enthusiasm for fracking, and its promise of massive "royalties", Wirral Council deserves to get a State hand-out for allowing an environmentally friendly DC cable from Scotland on its land at Leasowe.
This should be enough to repay its share of the tunnel debt; Merseytravel could then cut, rather than raise, the tolls making everybody happy.

Hmmm, interesting. I know that during the first few weeks on the Warrior Diet I was experiencing an extreme case of the sniffles and a runny nose but no other symptoms. I'd heard that detoxification, depending on how "poisoned" the body was, can cause extreme reactions. I just didn't think it would be this extreme. If this means that my body is healthier, then I'm all for it. I think that, to be on the safe side, I will finish my Acyclovir prescription, continue taking Benadryl for another day or so, and still see an allergist.
I think I might cry if I'm allergic to nuts.
Really interesting theory that it is a reaction to the clean diet.
About a month ago, I broke out in hives all over my body. I had never had hives before, and was not strongly allergic to anything (mild hay fever, varied by year/season). My hypothesis at the time was that is was in response to the handful of almonds I ate a few hours prior. Of course I had been almonds pretty much my whole life, so it was very strange indeed.
The very next day, I broke out again, this time with no almonds. I had, however, taken an aspirin a few hours prior. The hives start in areas where clothing is tight fitting, my skin gets very warm, and there is a general flushed look. I actually went to the ER because I was worried about respiratory complications (though there were no symptoms).
The hives disappear with the help of benadryl. Since then, I've eaten almonds twice as a way to test the theory, and both times have had reactions. I've read that allergies can arise and subside suddenly throughout one's lifetime.
I'm 25 yo, and had started eating primally about 2 months ago. I went primal for about 8 months last year, falling off the wagon in February 09. From then till about the end of the summer, I ate pretty horribly and gained 15 lbs. I have been wondering if going back to eating well somehow is triggering the release of histamines, but had not been able to find out by what mechanism this was happening.
I'd like to experiment with eating other tree nuts, and maybe try almonds again in a few months. Gtr, I'm sorry to say it is possible that you may be allergic to nuts, too. I'd recommend eliminating for a few, and then having maybe 6-8 nuts to see your body's response. It really sucks since I really like almonds, and at this point I'm hoping it's at least not all tree nuts.
Everything in moderation, including moderation.

Fourth quarter comebacks became a common occurrence for Eli Manning and the New York Giants this season. When Super Bowl XLVI came down to the Giants possessing the ball for a final time with a chance to win, the team felt right at home. Coach Tom Coughlin said, "We've won so many games like this, at the end, in the fourth quarter. We talk about finishing all the time and winning the fourth quarter, being the stronger team. It happened again tonight."

Does anyone own a Hight Point C 9? They are very reasonably priced I just wondered how dependable they are. Also will they fit in your pocket very easily? Thanks

If you did a search you'll find many Hi Point threads.Most of the mentions of them will be how horribly made they are and that they're perhaps barnside accurate,unergonomic and unreliable,suitable only as doorstops but there are the actual Hi Point owners who will pipe up and say that they may be many things but that they are reliable and affordable.
I have never owned or fired one and have no desire to.If I was on that tight of a budget,I would try to search the couch cushions for enough to get a used S&W or perhaps even Rossi or Taurus revolver.
April 1, 2007, 05:03 PM
My gunshop won't even carry Hi Point pistols because of their poor quality. I've heard that you can't even field strip them for a good cleaning. Is that right?
April 1, 2007, 05:09 PM
You get what you pay for :what:
April 1, 2007, 05:10 PM
same old thing everytime they are mentioned. Please disregard just about every opinion you get here as they are from people who don't own or have never shot one. I have 2. One 9mm and one 45. They are very accurate. They can be fieldstripped and cleaned. They are durable, reliable and affordable. I would own them again if anything happened to the ones I have.
April 1, 2007, 05:32 PM
I own a 995 carbine, it's drop-dead reliable (sorry for the pun) and also has a lifetime warranty. Hi-Point customer service is beyond excellent. They are good, reliable firearms and if it does have a problem, Hi-Point fixes it for free.
April 1, 2007, 05:51 PM
I don't have a hipoint so I can't speak to their reliabililty or accuracy. That said you mentioned pocket carry. Keep in mind hipoints are blowback guns, not locked breech. This means the slides have to be pretty heavy. Heavy and pocket gun, or concealed carry gun for that matter usually aren't thought of as going together all that well.
Personally if I wanted a smaller carry gun on a budget, I'd save my pennies a bit longer and get one of these http://www.summitgunbroker.com/1658555.html
April 1, 2007, 05:54 PM
My next purchase will be one of the 9mm Carbines. Why? Because people that actually OWN them have almost always said no problems. Think I saw one post that the guy had a problem with it, but sent it in and got a whole new one.
People that don't actually OWN one are the ones that are saying things that you generally expect from someone commenting on a Lorcin or Jennings. People see the price and the fugliness and automatically assume crap.
Now in terms of longevity the Hi-Points might not cut it, but with a lifetime no-questions asked warranty who cares if the thing finally falls apart after 10K rounds. Just get a new one.
April 1, 2007, 06:13 PM
There is a very active Hi Point forum. Most of their members embrace these guns because they are cheap and ugly and disparaged by many 'serious' shooters.
April 1, 2007, 06:19 PM
I don't own the 9 but I do own the 45. Reliable, inexpensive, but too heavy for concealed carry. I like highpoints and if I see a used 9 cheap I'll probably buy it. For concealed carry they're better options. I'd cruise my local gunshow and see what I can find in a snub.
April 1, 2007, 06:28 PM
I will rethink my opinion of Hi Points now that I've heard some positive remarks. I will try and shoot one to see for myself.
April 1, 2007, 06:35 PM
Except for the 4595, I've owned at least of one of Hi Point's firearms. During my last quailifing as a reservists, I put my 40S&W through and pasted! I've kept two 40s and two 45s and have them "around" the property for in times of need.
I think the larger 40 and 45 calibers or the best of the pistol line. The 380 is great also, but I like the bigger bores. The 9mm has problems with feeding from the magazines. And I do believe that all that's wrong with it. Mine and others would feed great with 6 rounds at first. After the magazine weakened, I could get it to function with 7 or 8 rounds. I just never trusted it like the 40 or 45. Also, I like the idea of having the same magazine for a pistol and carbine (995). The 995/C9 combo didn't share a commom magazine. The best option was to use the ten round carbine mag for both, but it didn't fit flush in the pistol. The 4095/40JCP did share the same mag and they worked great. So I kept them.
As of now, I have four 40S&W pistols, one 45ACP pistol, three 995 9mm carbines, and a lone 4095. I got them all used and for about $100 each, adn that includes shipping back to BeeMiller for a "checkup" after purchase. All feed HPs, JSP, and my poorly made casted rejects. I believe the 995 is the greatest little carbine made, even if it costed twice as much! The 4095, 40S&W carbine kicks like a mule! I don't know why, maybe I'm a wuss. But I was in pain after a all day carbine course with local LEOs. That and the 4095 is a little too long and bulky for its purpose. I'm thinking of having my gunsmith wack the barrel down to 16" and somehow take two inches of the stock. That should get it down to the 995s size. Also, I filled the stock (its plastic and hollow or has hollow chambers) with GREAT STUFF. This helped (the 995s and 4095) with the recoil. Now, the 995 doesn't have alot of recoil, but my 11 and 13 year old daughters felt that a little less was better, so YMMV. Ten trounds of +p 9mm isn't nothing to sneeze at, coming out of a 16" barrel. And having another ten mounted on the carbine with a Ranger Band aids in a quick reload. The light 995 is quick and my goto for something that goes bump in the night.
Now, back to the C9. I've thought about getting another and seeing if it is beter than the olders. But the more I look at pistols and their limits, the more I like my rifle and carbines. So its not because of the pistol, just my changing beliefs. But, I had the greatest feeding rate with a full mag with a shorter 9mm bullet, like UMC or my reloads. I think this is because the 380 and 9mm were built on the same frame and its dimisions favor the 380. If you reload, I would get the 380 and load it hot.
A side note...there is a forum setup for Hi Point firearms. I would go there for some info, but the main administrator, GLOCKMAN, is a bigot. Big Al, a gentleman who openly admitted he was guy, was bullied and cowardly removed from the site for nothing more than being gay and having a picture of a south park figure as his aztar. After forcing out Big Al, GLOCKMAN, went to a south park aztar. I was raised that a person is just that , a person. I might not be like that person or I might not think like or believe like that person. But I have no right to belittle that person just because that differance. GLOCKMAN is a caliber bigot also, thinking anything other than a 9mm is stupid and not needed.
April 1, 2007, 07:02 PM
I have the C9. It is fugly, but accurate. I put about 600 rounds of the WalMart WWB with no problems at all. It is heavy. But I think that is a good thing for this model of handgun.
April 1, 2007, 07:22 PM
I am no lover of the HiPoints, but have shot them and seen people shooting them. They are the ugliest, most cheaply made, odd feeling gun I know of, but:
They are accurate: not like a match pistol, but pretty close to any duty-type gun. Plenty good enough for SD.
They are reliable: they seem to feed most ammo just as well as the better guns do.
They can be field stripped: it isn't as easy as most, but for the price...
The trigger is rough, the gun lacks a slide release but has a slide lockand the safety lever small and hard to operate. However, if I was on a more limited budget, I would buy one and willingly count on it to save my butt.
April 1, 2007, 08:58 PM
I own 4 9mm's and a 45. While they are not the prettiest horse in the stable they go bang every time. I would not attempt to carry one, too heavy, but for placing at stragtic locations around the house without tying up thousands they are perfect. Kept on in my bathroom closet for 2 years no rust even in that high humidity location.
April 1, 2007, 09:21 PM
I look at it this way...how much sense does it make to buy a gun that sells for less than 1,000 rounds of the very ammo it uses?
April 1, 2007, 10:35 PM
I will rethink my opinion of Hi Points now that I've heard some positive remarks. I will try and shoot one to see for myself.
Having noted that the knocks against the Hi Points on all of the gun forums I frequent were almost all from non-owners, it was because if that that I went and got one to see for myself.
IMO, a capable gun. If all you are looking for is something to shoot reliably with some accuracy, they are much more than what you pay for them. Nowhere near the accuracy of a $1000+ gun but easily combat accurate, at least my sample (C-9 Comp).
Only drawbacks are its bulk and the stiff spring (which could be an issue for weak hands) needed for its simple blowback action.
After over 2000 rounds through mine (stopped counting), only a couple (possibly three, it has been a long time in the past) misfeeds in the first 50 rounds fired through it.
April 1, 2007, 10:48 PM
I love mine (C9). Like every OWNER has said, good enough, accurate enough, reliable enough. Best warranty in the biz. Not small enough for a pocket... unless you have those really baggy pants that hang down off of your butt. Trigger is rough.
Others complain about the size and style of the safety...
the safety lever small and hard to operate.
Might just be my hands, but I find it almost perfect for my thumb. The only safety I like better (can flip easier) is on my 1911. It's way better than the one on my Daewoo.
April 1, 2007, 11:31 PM
I have a C9. I think it is a decent good gun. Lifetime warrenty, can't beat that. Not my CCW because its a brick. I have also had quite a few stovepipes at the range, I think mostly due to the low quality mags. My 8 rd mag is the one I have trouble with the most, but the 10 rd is too long, imho, to be comfortable to carry. It has had ~1000 rounds through it. It has been a good gun, but it gets finiky when dirty (after about 50-100 rounds). The gun, imho, is uncomfortably top heavy. I do keep it in my nightstand with a 10rd magazine. I am the second owner. The first owner loved it and used it everyday as a ccw in an IWB holster. It is hard to field strip, you have to remove a pin using a steel tool and a mallet. Just for reference, my CCW is a Taurus Millennium PT145 PRO.
April 2, 2007, 02:31 AM
The .45 acp rocks! It is very heavy but reliable and accurate.
April 2, 2007, 10:42 AM
Good Lord! Sorry guys! I did not mean to cause a family fued. Actually I have a Mil Pro PT 45 for my concealed carry and love it and also have a Kel Tec P3AT .380 Hard Chrome for my pocket and love it! I am really asking for a friend. I suggested they get the Kel Tec but they saw this one and wanted something just for around the house and maybe the glove box. I do however appreciate all the posts you have all been very, very helpful! Thanks!
April 2, 2007, 02:02 PM
Cheaply made pot metal guns. You do get what you pay for. There is a reason why they have such a good warranty... because they need it. I've shot several and only one made it through an entire mag without malfunction.
If you're looking for a cheap beater truck gun then its probable a good deal. Use it for anything else and you're taking your life in your hands.
B yond
April 2, 2007, 03:03 PM
There is a term for people who've never shot a Hi-Point but love to tell you how horrible they are: Gun Snobs.
Granted, they are fugly, heavy, and cheap.
They are also reliable, practical, and expendable.
I bought my C-9 when I was a poor college student. It was what I could afford. Now, its my tackle-box gun, because if I dropped it in a lake I could fish it out and get any repairs done by Hi-Point for free. Gotta love that warranty.
The one thing I don't like is the way the firing pin moves freely. I'm not comfy keeping one in the chamber because when I did I would notice little marks on the primer where the firing pin had been bumping into it. :eek:
I've heard that Hi-Point used to make very poor quality guns, and especially bad magazines. That seems to be a lot better now. I've never had a FTF or FTE with mine, and I've used it plenty.
April 2, 2007, 08:15 PM
I don't have one, but a guy I work with has a two, in .40 and .45, and swears by them.
April 2, 2007, 09:42 PM
My first pistol was a Hi-Point, in .40 S&W.
I have had a few misfeeds in 500 rounds but considering the price they are well worth it.
Way to heavy to consider as a carry weapon, but it is very accurate and it is the one on my nightstand. I dunno where the term pot metal came from, it is not pot metal. My frame is polymer.
From ten to twenty feet there is no way I would miss, and at that range I doubt a second shot would be required. That makes a jam a moot point.
I recommend you buy one.
Gotta love the Gun Snob comment, lol
April 2, 2007, 11:17 PM
There is a reason why they have such a good warranty... because they need it.
Oh, you mean like Leupold, Zeiss, Premier Grade Freedom Arms, Rock River, etc.?
April 2, 2007, 11:46 PM
I dunno where the term pot metal came from, it is not pot metal. My frame is polymer.
Its not the frame, its the slide. Zamack, or whatever they call is is really REALLY low grade metal. Why do you think the price is so low.
From ten to twenty feet there is no way I would miss, and at that range I doubt a second shot would be required. That makes a jam a moot point.
Thats the kind of logic that gets people dead.
Oh, you mean like Leupold, Zeiss, Premier Grade Freedom Arms, Rock River, etc.?
And what percentage of those products go back to the manufacturer compared to hi-points.
April 3, 2007, 12:30 AM
Granted, they are fugly, heavy, and cheap.
Not judging them one way or the other, but is it not acceptable for an individual to express that they would never buy one based on the above alone? That doesn't mean they don't have other strong points, of course.
And I'm glad the option exists either way. more choices = more better imo.
April 3, 2007, 01:45 AM
I don't own a hi-point yet. I have been looking at them and the 9 is a good size for carry. I think it's a stretch to say it could go in your pocket with any room to spare though. A cargo pants pocket for sure, but jeans would be tough because of it's thickness.
I spoke with a friend who has a 45 and says he has no problems with it, it works fine. The 45 is a big handled single stack, for in desk drawers and such. To carry the 9 is more realistic.
Good luck,
April 3, 2007, 08:52 AM
I say thank God Hi Point is around. At least the average working stiff can get a decent firearm to defend his family and home.
They are decent firearms, made by a good American company with excellent customer service who stands behind their product. What's not to like.
April 3, 2007, 10:17 AM
If you are wanting a C9, I would get the comp model. It has the better ten round magazine and a comp on the barrel. Too big for carry, but a great range gun and for the home or car.
And as far as the wonderful warrenty is "needed", well I'm glad its there. I've sent everyone of my HPs in cause they were used. They were looked over, brought up to "par" if needed.
April 3, 2007, 11:33 AM
I stand corrected, guess it is made from pot metal.
"ZAMAK is a trademark covering a family of zinc alloys, the primary components of which are zinc, aluminium, magnesium and copper.
The most common ZAMAK alloy today is ZAMAK-3, but ZAMAK-2, ZAMAK-5 and ZAMAK-7 are all still being manufactured. These alloys are used extensively in die casting."
I still stand by my statement that I recommend you buy one, it is great fun to shoot. The few jams on feed I have had do not ruin the enjoyment of shooting. It has jammed on two magazine loads, the other 48 mag loads have run fine. And not everyone can afford a pistol that a gun snob would approve of.
Talking about getting people dead (me I assume) is not a nice thing to say.
The jams are always near the 7th or 8th round out of the magazine.
April 3, 2007, 12:23 PM
Whatchya think Holmes? Go or no go?
April 3, 2007, 01:09 PM
And what percentage of those products go back to the manufacturer compared to hi-points.
Well, my C-9 Comp hasn't gone back yet but I did send back a Leupold Vari-X III 6.5-20X40 for fixing. (Limited reticle adjustment.)

Statistically speaking I don't think its far too off the mark to say that hi-points probably have one of the greatest if not the greatest rate of return among production semi auto pistols today.

Kel-Tec has to up there too.
Spend some time on ktor.org. Lots of returns.
I have 2 KTs by the way and a Hiipoint carbine. So I'm not just picking on guns I don't own.
April 3, 2007, 04:51 PM
What are your reasoning and stats about the high return rate?
April 3, 2007, 08:27 PM
Ah heck, you get what you pay for these days. Granted there are some over priced products and also some good value products but for the most part, you get what you pay for.
High Point doesn't have any magical foo foo dust that allows them to make a average pistol for far less than average money. A $128.00 45ACP semi-automatic handgun is not my idea of a product I want to own. Heck, maybe I'll buy a cheap Duncan yo-yo knock off, Lincoln Log clones or a Ronald McDonald punching bag that's not really Ronald. In my book, a gun like the High Point fits in that category, the only problem is, it's a firearm. When it comes to firearms, I'll keep my standards a bit higher for many reasons. Heck, put off firing ammo for a few months and apply that money to a better quality gun. You're odds of being happier and safer are much higher. You don't have to buy a Les Baer to have great odds, like I pointed out, a few months of ammo can get you very nice handgun.
April 3, 2007, 09:44 PM
Statistically speaking I don't think its far too off the mark to say that hi-points probably have one of the greatest if not the greatest rate of return among production semi auto pistols today.
So...let's see these "statistics."
Blanket statements are not good argument points :cool:
April 3, 2007, 10:03 PM
Where do you get a Hi-point .45 for $128?
State to state must be different.
If it was not for the liberal do-gooders trying to pry weapons from honest owners the $400 9MM might got for half that and a Hi-Point would sell for
No way my pot metal polymer frame pistol should have cost $177 before tax.

April 4, 2007, 02:41 AM
You know, I remember reading where the owner or CEO of Hi-Point stated they were looking to fill a niche where average working people who could not afford hundreds of dollars on a HD firearm would have an option available to them. That being, to be able to have an accurate, reliable firearm that was affordable for lower income people.
After reading the reports from people who actually own and use these guns, and, also the occasional Hi-Point owner I run across at the range, it seems to me Hi-Point has accomplished their mission. Adding a Lifetime Warranty is a GREAT deal for an inexpensive firearm.
Now, I mainly shoot an HK USP45 these days, but, I remember earlier in my life when I could have really used a gun like this. I had to opt for a Jennings .380 which was a really iffy prospect and people who owned them would tell you as much. That does not appear to be the case with Hi-Point.
Personally, I applaud the efforts of Hi-Point for getting a decent, reliable handgun into the hands of honest, hard working people who would otherwise not have a means to defend their homes and loved ones. In all likelihood, these same people will use these guns as stepping stones to the more expensive name brand firearms most of us use and have come to love.
Call me a bliss-ninny if you must, but, I'm glad this company has stepped up to the plate for those who would otherwise have to do without or buy a gun that is supremely inferior in reliability and build and quite possibly, dangerously inferior.
April 4, 2007, 07:54 AM
Where do you get a Hi-point .45 for $128?
Several places. Here one. Able Ammo (http://www.ableammo.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=9935_13105_13199&products_id=83306)
April 4, 2007, 08:02 AM
I'm another one who bought one to see if they're as bad as "everyone" says they are. Based on my sample of one, they're not.
I've put about 2,000 rounds through mine, (A C-9) with maybe a half dozen malfunctions. Nothing has broken on the gun. I've never had to send it back for repair. It just shoots and hits as close to where I aim as I expect any of my guns too.
Not bad for $139.00.
I don't shoot it much anymore, I've got a fair number of other guns I shoot, but if I needed it, it would do the job.
April 4, 2007, 09:46 AM
I've carried my Hi Point for about a year now. I've got nicer newer guns but I just like my Hi Point .380.
I just bought a Sig 1911. I was showing a friend the difference between the two. I pulled the magazine out of the Hi Point and there were dust bunnies and all kinds of **** in there. I can't imagine subjecting my new sig to that kind of abuse. I put the magazine back in the Hi Point and it emptied the gun without a hitch. I'll clean it and carry it some more because it is just a good soild gun. Not as nice or accurate or powerfull as my other guns are but I know it will work when I need it to.
It fits my hands nicley, it's accurate enough for self defense. It is a little heavy but not so heavy it can't be carried.
Anyway, Just my opion on the Hi Point. I'm not saying they are the best gun in the world. But if you need something that works for a good price. Hi Point is the way to go.
April 5, 2007, 01:18 AM
Zamak is what the m16/ar15 receiver is made from. It's fine as long as there is enough "meat" on the slide and the breachface is a steel insert. The slide on the S&W .380 Sigma was made out of similar material.
April 5, 2007, 02:30 AM
Zamak is what the m16/ar15 receiver is made from.
Surely you jest. Most AR recievers are made from aircraft grade 7075 T6 aluminum. That aint Zamak by a long shot. What is Zamak? Courtesy of a little wiki work...
ZAMAK is a trademark covering a family of zinc alloys, the primary components of which are zinc, aluminium, magnesium and copper.
The most common ZAMAK alloy today is ZAMAK-3, but ZAMAK-2, ZAMAK-5 and ZAMAK-7 are all still being manufactured. These alloys are used extensively in die casting.
The New Jersey Zinc Company first developed the ZAMAK alloys in the 1920s. The name ZAMAK is an acronym of the German names for the metals of which the alloys are composed: Z for Zink (zinc), A for Aluminium (aluminum), MA for magnesium and K for Kupfer (copper). It is also known as ZAMAC.
One of the more familiar uses of ZAMAK is in making die-cast toys. It is also beginning to be used in automotive wheel balancing weights as a substitute for lead, especially in the European Union. ZAMAK is often called "pot metal" or "white metal".
Something about my pistol sharing the same metal as a diecast toy just doesn't make me feel right.
April 5, 2007, 03:40 AM
Im283 already did that wiki work.
Honestly, do you think a gun is bad because it is made out of the same thing as toys? You do realize that polymers are much more popular in toys than ZAMAK, don't you? I'm sure die-cast Hot Wheels are seveal times sturdier than most toys these days. So can I assume that you would never trust a gun that uses polymers?
And what's with this crap you keep saying about Hi-Point probably having a ridiculously high number of returns? Their profit margins can't be very high selling $100 guns. If they were swamped with returns, they would simply go out of business. If you're going to attempt an argument, could you at least pretend to have some actual facts on your side?
You know, I'm sure there are plenty negative things you could say about Hi-Points without continuing to stick your foot in your mouth. Try a little harder.

Have owned both the 9mm and the 45...never had a problem with either of them. They are not pretty and the 45 is big, but they go bang everytime I pull the trigger.
My brother owns a 45 and has never had a problem with it...he keeps it in his truck.
My son owns a 9mm and also has never had an issue with it...being young and not having much money it was all he could afford at the time.
As for carrying, even the 9mm is a little large and for a little more you could get something smaller and more comfortable...bersa 380, etc.

EVERYONE online has an opinion...even if they never seen the weapon or fired the weapon. To the OP, you have to read between the lines when it comes to asking a question on a firearm forum. I just find it amusing when people bash on a firearm without owning or shooting one. We sold plenty of Hi Points in the gun shop I used to work for and they are reliable. IMO, Hi Points are ugly as sin, but they are built like tanks. The one drawback was that the pistols are so bulky that finding a holster for CCW was difficult. I heard that holster companies are starting to offer holsters for Hi Points, so that should solve that minor issue.
I don't see anything wrong with buying an inexpensive pistol to get yourself into shooting. Not everyone has the funds to buy high end firearms. Ultimately, it's the shooter and what he/she can do with the weapon.

If you ever wanted to open carry a HP in 40S&W or 45ACP, get yourself a belt and put a couple of nail pouches and a cordless drill "holster" on it! Noone would know!

I used to think the Hipoints were total junk till a friend of mine bought one. I laughed at it and gave him some grief about it. Then watched him put 1000rds through it without a hitch and never cleaning the dang thing!:eek: Eventually bought one, it would jam at first but I found the cause to be the magazine feed lips were turned to far in causing the round to nose dive into the feed ramp. A little work with some pliers fixed that and I never had a problem with it again. Later sold it to a coworker who couldn't afford a "good" gun. He says its been very reliable for him.
And if it is a bad gun Hipoint's customer service is as good as there is. Due to their very basic blowback operation they are generally reliable guns, I don't know about the durability though, 1K-2K probably fine but I doubt they were designed for 10,000+ round shooting life.
Still feels a little iffy trusting a gun that uses the firing pin for a ejector though.

Statistically speaking I don't think its far too off the mark to say that hi-points probably have one of the greatest if not the greatest rate of return among production semi auto pistols today.
Still waiting on supporting data.

I have worked on a public range p/t for years. I have seen a lot of guns come and go. I am here to say that Hipoints are a pos.
I'm glad if you bought one and like it, to each his own. I would not trust my life to the lowest quality materials and design on the market.

gun-tests.com rates the Hi-Point 995 carbine a best buy.
November 2006 issue of Combat Handguns magazine, titled "Hi-Point C9 9mm: A no-nonsense, no-frills sureshot you can bet your life on!"
From Shooting Times
Hi-Point Pistols: Basic But Oh So Reliable!
I was suitably impressed with the reliability, accuracy, and handling qualities displayed by both pistols. I think it would be fair to say that if you are in the market for an eminently affordable handgun that is capable of firing authoritative cartridges for home defense or informal plinking, a Hi-Point pistol may just fill the bill.
Again this proves, listen to people who own them and people who have shot them. There will never be a shortage of people who have done neither but are more than willing to an opinion.
Take a look at the robust Hi-Point forum and you'll get all the information you need.

Sorry, but Highpoint does not have the lowest quality materials/design on the market. That honor goes to pistols such as Jennings or Raven (the kind of companies that change their names to avoid lawsuits). Even these pistols might reliable enough to get through a magazine, and that may be all that is asked of them.
You have to realize that some people cannot afford that much to put into a pistol or range time. These people are not gunnies, they do not go to the range much, and they are only looking for a pistol to keep in the house. It may be the only weapon they can afford at the time. These are not the people that shoot a couple thousand rounds a year. They would be lucky to put a box of ammo through the pistol a year, and only clean it that one time, if that much. They don't go to shooting courses taught by Massad Ayoob. They have never heard of Thunder Ranch or Jeff Cooper. They couldn't tell you what IDPA stands for. The Hipoint is the perfect weapon for them. The biggest drawback to the Hipoint is that it is a little bulky and heavy, but it does work.

I would buy one if they weren't so ugly. The look like crap. If Hi-point could make them look like a Colt 1903, or the like, then I'd get a C-9

NORFOLK, Va. - Norfolk Southern Corp. reported Tuesday net income of $402 million, or $1.24 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2012, 27 percent lower compared with $554 million, or $1.59 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011.

General merchandise revenues were $1.4 billion, 1 percent lower than third-quarter 2011 results. Coal revenues fell 22 percent, to $701 million, compared with the same period last year. Intermodal revenues were $567 million, 3 percent higher compared with the third quarter of 2011.
