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.
Thanks for adding to the info regarding the Hi-points. I will have to say they don't instill much confidence just from looking at them.
Of course a single incident doesn't mean a whole lot. This mornig my garbage man hauled of my trash which included a snap-on socket which cracked. I left it in my pickup for a couple of years thinking I would run across the truck but finally just tossed it.
