I'm curious why you conclude that a few people's problems with Kel-Tecs and Hi-Points put them on the "lower rung".Thanks very much for the thread.
Ok so it sound like KelTec and HiPoint are kind of the lower rung, quality wise. Do any companies that are known for better quality have comparable models? (Sig, Ruger, etc)
Go to any thread here on specific guns and they will all have stories of problems with them with extremely few exceptions. Beretta pistols, carbines, Ruger pistols, Marlin rifles, Rossi, Sig .22's, Taurus, ect. Many threads here citing these and others having problems right from the factory. When I was looking for a decent .22 pistol, every high end manufacturer with the exception of Browning Buckmarks were talked out numerous times about having problems. Lower rung?
I don't think Hi-Point or Kel-Tec have any more problems than others, but I guess people like to point fingers because they're inexpensive.
I have had zero problems with my Sub2K, and I don't believe mine is unusual. Hi-Point owners rave about their carbines.
If lower rung means a good, reliable product for little money, then maybe they are.
