380 is a round that is low-powered enough to have a fixed barrel.

I think Hi-Point has fixed barrels in their .45s. You just have to add a lot of weight of inertia.

Say what you will about a Hi-Point, but I sure don't want to get pistol whipped with one.

I have a hipoint .40 carbine and I love it love it love it.

I have fired 1000s of rounds out of it. (I load .40 so I shoot cheap)
Never ever one misfire. Never a failure to feed never a failure to eject. Nothing.

I put a forward grip and a cheap laser on the picatinny rails and a red dot on top. Shoots like a champ and is fun. That carbine is available in 9mm, .40, and .45 pistol calibers.

Never had experience with hipoint pistols. They weigh a ton but they have to to fight all that fixed barrel recoil...
