"The people here on THR who speak of the make's reliability are far more likely to actually know how to shoot and handle them, as many of us had a lot of handgun experience before acquiring a Hi-Point. That means we know about proper grip and "limp-wristing."
And yet I HAVEN'T seen those sorts of problems, with everything from Glocks to M1911s to Makarovs.
As I said, it's better than NO gun, but NOT better than a P-1 or a Makarov, and DEFINITELY not even in the same ballpark as the ex-NYPD S&W M&P that I got from R.M. Vivas (WITH HOLSTER) for about the same price. That gun's missing large patches of its finish, is slick as glass and utterly reliable.
We're all saying pretty much the same thing... and arguing about it. All the Hi-Point firearms I had were 100 percent reliable over thousands of rounds. I did have to tweak the feed lips on a couple of the JHP mags but it ran perfectly after that. I also cleaned all the mags that came with the others... but I find that's often necessary with other "better" brands too. I "tired" to make all mine fail with cheap ammo and limp-wristing. They all went bang every single pull of the trigger.
