The headline in a 1999 flyer for the 9mm Hi-Point carbine, which retails for $179, warns, "Don't Be Discouraged by the `Gun Snobs.' You know who we're talking about. Just because the price is low does not mean it isn't accurate! So don't be intimidated by the `Gun Snobs' who believe that a gun has to be expensive to shoot well." In the same flyer, ad copy for the Hi-Point .45 pistol, which retails for $148.95, states, "It is the most powerful caliber we manufacture! Whether it's Bad Guys or Bowling Pins, you can knock �em down and keep �em down with this heavy hitter."
