Here is another vote for HiPoint as the one handgun that someone will never own. I really don't know how anyone can manufacture such a piece of .... and sleep at night. I'm just amazed that they don't have more complaints, problems and lawsuits; maybe they do and we just don't hear about them.
Somebody mentioned that "the HiPower was the only issued weapon used by both sides in WWII." It would seem that perhaps someone has confused the HiPoint with the HiPower. This is more than a little difference involved here. The HiPower, designed by John Browning and manufactured first by FN and then by Inglis in Canada, was used successfully by both sides during WWII. The HiPoint, on the other hand, is most successfully used as a boat anchor. One final point would be to note that another of Browning's designs, the one commonly referred to as the "1911," was also used by both sides during WWII. The Germans acquired theirs through the the Norwegian factory at Kongsberg.
