I used to work part time in a gun shop which sold high end guns but also some low end. The Hi Point were reliable and reasonably accurate. I guess that makes them good in a way but I never could warm up to them.
Just too crude.
The carbine looked a bit better but still pretty crude.
All ya need to do is bend the wings on the feed lip of the magazine a mm or two for perfect feeding. Nothing unreliable whatsoever about the firearm itself. And that lifetime no-questions warranty. Worth more than $200 to me. Doesn’t seem all that heavy to me with all the polymer.
