I am a FFL dealer and have sold a bunch of Hi Points. They are cheap ugly and heavy, but they shoot. I have never had one returned for repairs. I can't say that about any other brand I've sold. Maybe they are just to cheap to fix I don't know. What I do know is they are better than nothing. If it was all I had, I wouldn't hesitate to carry it. There are better choices out there though.
