Better yet - bottom eject - Kel-Tec RDB - right for you - left for me
This might be a better choice, except for its much-higher price.
However, I would still have an objection to it: It's very difficult to clear a jam from within its mechanism.
I would modify the action cover (the cheek-piece) to hinge open, either front-to-back or side-to-side, to make its breech much more accessible.
Yes, it is on the high side. There are people who like the bull-pup style of firearms. I am not one of them.
I like the the hinged cover idea and it would make sense to have something like that.
Personally, I like the simplicity of the Hi-Point carbine as it is. What I would rather see is Hi-Point developing one that would take higher-capacity magazines; the use of Glock double-stack magazines would be a bug plus in my book. And, at least with the Beretta CX4 Storm you get to play with 17-rounds (9mm version).
Regardless of what is done to the Hi-Point carbine, it is still a Hi-Point.
True.
And...true.
I had to get past the "Hi Point-ness" of the PCC in order to "allow" myself to accept one into the stable here.
Yet, after several hundred rounds downrange with gleeful and astounding accuracy...I found I could overlook the fact that it is a Hi Point.
I'm sure whomever is on the receiving end wouldn't care it it was a Hi Point or a CX4 throwing lead at (into) them!
It works, and works well.
Now, it's not something I'd brag about at the range, but then, we're not talking about "range" shooting, eh?
