First I'll admit I've always been a bit of a snob, and never considered owning a hi point. However, I recently traded into a 995 TS to eliminate a stockpile of 9x19 ammo I inherited. I just have to say the thing is ugly as Hell, but so far pretty darn reliable, and having ordered spare magazines from the factory, their customer service is unrivaled! I called to order four spare mags, and they overnighted them to me... I have to say, I'm pretty darn happy with the ugly little thing!
