Never heard of them but am interested.

Good/Bad experience with Jimenez Arms?

Nothing yet....but I'm curious as well. If you look at their site, the dealer info is only a phone number for more information. I didn't bother, as I'm not ready to buy more yet. It will be interesting to see if anyone here has dealt with them.

As a side note, a few friends of mine have been shooting the hell out of some new High Point pistols they bought. At the advice of the dealer, they were to told to keep them well cleaned, and they would preform fine. My buddy puposely hasn't cleaned his once....and after several hundred rounds, he says it has yet to fail to operate correctly. $212.00 for a .45 and they love them. I told him if it doesn't shoot....beat them to death with it. One good blow should do it....seems to weigh about 47 pounds!

Let us know if you find out any more. Maybe Captain John will chime in.

A friend has a contact with Jimenez and can get their 9MM for $160 or some ridiculous price like that.

I am not really interested in buying just because the price is low, but if they are half decent I might grab some

They're not bad guns. We sell the .380's for $140 bucks. They have a lifetime warranty and I haven't had to send one back. Is it a great gun...no. Does it do what you need it to...yes.

Same opinions are about hi-point .45's too, but they work great. You won't see many great online reviews for any gun under $200. Both are made in America and have lifetime warranties. I have a Hi-point .45 I use for a sidearm hog hunting in the swamp, etc. Works great. We have them for $270 with laser. I'm still a Glock, Sig, and 1911 man though.

The 9mm arrived today and despite horrific reviews online, I trust Capt John so I am picking it up

$160 is a pretty good deal so if it is a piece of junk, I'll get rid of it.

Probably will be a while before I shoot it. Still need to go buy some ammo and find some time. For now it is in the box and in my safe.
