[edit] Merger
How is this different from Hi-Point Carbine 9 mm?
- It isn't much different. However this one does list it under the carbines proper model number instead of calling it carbine 9mm. IMO the older article should be deleted.
I think that a single article would suffice for all the Hi-Point carbines; they're all similar enough in design. A single article with a breif overveiw and then specs on each model seems like it would be a lot more efficient. scot 14:54, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
I agree. No point in having two articles with no differences other than about ten words, it's just a waste of space. REN 08:38, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Agreed... anyone else? This article needs a LOT of work, anyhow.... but I see no need for two of them... --негіднийлють (Reply|Spam Me!*|RfS) 15:56, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Actually, the .40 carbine is model 4095, if memory serves... since both articles are about the same exact subject (Model 995 is 9mm ONLY, and both articles specify either 9mm or 995 in the name) I'm going to Go ahead and merge... --негіднийлють (Reply|Spam Me!*|RfS) 15:59, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Marketing tone?
I'd like to see the advertising-sound of this entry scaled back; that the gun is "nifty" is a sentiment I agree with, but don't find exactly encylopedic, likewise whether the .45ACP is "trusty." In other contexts, those are fine characterizations, but here, I think off-kilter. timbo 22:30, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- I thought "trusty" was a bit much myself, and had removed it even before seeing your comment. Actually I gave the whole article a shakedown... it was full of minor mistakes and needed link cleanup and rewording. It could use some more work, starting with <ref>'s for example. — VoxLuna
