I have never fired one of the hi-points but know a dealer who, before he died sold a lot of them. He said they were accurate and reliable and the price is right.

On the negative, they have poor triggers and don't instill much pride in ownership. They do look a little rough.

I think you would be better off buying a surplus gun or used one. Some of the less well known guns which are inexpensive but still high quality are the Hungarian copies of the Browning HP, the Argentine made authorized Browning copies are great, I mean really good. Also the Argentine Bersa's.

On the negative, they have poor triggers . . .

I noticed that the trigger looked cheap, like it would break easily.

I really like the glock -- I think I'll hold out for one.

Hi Points are not reliable. The firing pin on my carbine broke after 700 rounds. I also have one of their handguns. They are pure junk. Save your money and buy something better.
